West Coast Awnings is a Sacramento patio cover and awning installation company. We have been designing, engineering, permitting and installing custom aluminum covers for homeowners across the Sacramento Valley since 1985. Every cover is measured at your home, built to your exact dimensions, and installed by our own crew rather than a subcontractor. Choose from six styles below, or see patio covers near me for colors, cut styles and finishes.
We can help you get very creative with a combination patio cover that offers the flexibility of Lattice and the practicality of a Solid weather-protected cover.
Your new aluminum patio cover will protect any outdoor furniture, plus interior items such as draperies and fabrics from fading.
Open lattice patio covers are the perfect option which provide flexibly and are designed to fit any space.
Privacy walls can be attached to existing fences or be stand-alone structures strategically placed to give you the most effective privacy or shade.

A patio cover is a permitted structure attached to your house, not a product that ships in a box. Here is what happens between your first call and the finished cover, so there are no surprises along the way.
Most Sacramento homeowners are deciding between three roof styles, and the right answer usually comes down to how much sun you want to keep and how you use the space.
Beyond the patio itself, aluminum window awnings cut heat gain on south and west-facing windows and take real load off the air conditioner during a Central Valley summer, and privacy walls attach to an existing fence or stand alone to block a neighbor sightline or late-day sun. Every style is available in nine colors and four cut styles, all shown on our patio covers page.
Sacramento summers run long, hot and dry, and winters bring steady rain. Wood covers in this climate crack, warp, need repainting and eventually attract termites. Aluminum does none of that. It will not burn, crack, peel, warp or rot, it needs virtually no maintenance from one year to the next, and the embossed woodgrain finish gives you the look of wood without the upkeep. We also build with recycled aluminum, which matters in a place that calls itself the City of Trees.
Anyone can sell you a patio cover. Far fewer will measure your home in person, pull the permit in their own name, and still be reachable in five years. A local company knows how Sacramento, Placer and El Dorado County jurisdictions handle patio cover permits, knows what the wind and sun do to a structure here, and is accountable long after the crew drives away. If you have been comparing awning companies near you in Sacramento, those are the questions worth asking before you sign anything.
We install patio covers and awnings across the greater Sacramento area, including Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Elk Grove, Rocklin, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, Granite Bay, Carmichael, Orangevale, Antelope, Lincoln, Loomis, Rancho Cordova, West Sacramento and Auburn.
Every installation is done by our own crew. The same company that measures your home, engineers the cover and pulls the permit is the company that shows up to build it, and the same company you call if anything needs attention later.
Yes. An attached patio cover almost always needs a permit in the Sacramento area, and requirements vary by city and county. We prepare the plans, submit the permit with your jurisdiction and build to code, so the cover is on record when you sell the house.
Solid covers give full shade and rain protection and suit a dedicated outdoor room. Lattice covers filter sunlight and let air move through, which suits garden areas and west-facing patios. Combination covers put a solid section over the seating or dining area and lattice over the rest. We walk through all three on site before you decide.
In most cases yes. Attached covers tie into the existing fascia or roof structure and are engineered for the load. Where the roofline or framing will not take an attachment, a freestanding cover on its own posts is the alternative. We confirm which one your home needs at the on-site measure, not over the phone.
Most residential installations are finished in one to two days once the permit is approved. The longer part of the timeline is permitting and fabrication, which depends on your jurisdiction and the size of the cover. You get the schedule in writing with the estimate.
Yes. Alongside patio covers we install aluminum window awnings, which cut heat gain on south and west windows, and privacy walls, which can attach to an existing fence or stand alone to block a sightline or afternoon sun.
Every cover is custom built, so there is no single price. Size, style, how it attaches to the house, the color and finish, and add-ons such as lighting or fans all move the number. The on-site consultation is free and it is the only way to get an accurate figure. Call (916) 251-7206 or request a free estimate.
