Custom Patio Covers in Los Altos, CA

Los Altos, CA

Los Altos is known for established residential neighborhoods, detached homes, mature landscaping, and outdoor spaces that often become natural extensions of the home. Patios can provide a comfortable setting for relaxing, dining, and entertaining, but direct sun can limit how enjoyable these areas are during warmer parts of the day.

Patio Covers and More designs and installs custom patio covers for homeowners throughout Los Altos and Northern California. With more than 50 years of patio-cover experience, we understand how to create overhead coverage that provides useful shade while complementing the home and surrounding landscape.

Our in-house design team considers the architecture of your home, the size and layout of the patio, existing landscaping, sun exposure, and how you plan to use the space. The result is a patio cover designed specifically for your property rather than a standard, one-size-fits-all structure.

Patio Covers Designed for Your Home

Homes and yards throughout Los Altos vary considerably. Some properties have established patios surrounded by mature trees and gardens, while others have remodeled outdoor areas designed around dining, seating, pools, or other backyard features. A well-designed patio cover should work with those existing elements rather than compete with them.

Depending on your property and goals, a custom patio cover can create shade over a dining area, provide coverage for outdoor seating, or make a larger portion of the backyard more comfortable for everyday use. Our team can help determine the size, placement, style, and configuration that make sense for your home.

Because we handle both design and manufacturing in-house, we have greater control over how each patio cover is developed for the individual project. We also source approximately 90% of our patio-cover materials in Northern California, with our materials made in the USA.

Aluminum Patio Cover Options

Aluminum is a practical choice for homeowners who want durable overhead coverage without the maintenance requirements associated with some traditional materials. It can be configured in different styles to suit the amount of shade, protection, and natural light you want for your patio.

Our patio cover options include insulated aluminum systems as well as TRU View patio covers, which are designed to provide overhead protection while maintaining a bright, open feeling below.

Our design team can help you compare available styles and determine the right balance of shade, protection, and natural light for your outdoor space. Whether the goal is a subtle addition to an established Los Altos backyard or a more substantial covered entertaining area, the design can be tailored to the property.

More Comfortable and Energy-Efficient Outdoor Living

By reducing direct sun over an existing patio, a cover can make the space more comfortable for outdoor dining, seating, entertaining, and everyday relaxation.

Patio covers can also contribute to a home's energy efficiency by reducing the amount of direct sunlight reaching nearby windows, doors, and exterior surfaces. The potential benefit depends on factors such as the home's orientation, window placement, and the amount of shade the cover provides.

For homeowners interested in incorporating renewable energy, solar panels can also be installed on suitable patio-cover designs. Our team can discuss available solar patio cover options and how they may fit into the overall project.

Sunrooms and Solariums

For homeowners who want something more enclosed than a covered patio, we also design and install sunrooms and solariums. These additions can create a bright, protected living space with natural light and views of the surrounding yard and landscaping.

A sunroom or solarium may be worth considering if you want greater separation from outdoor conditions while maintaining the visual connection between your home and backyard.

Residential, Commercial and DIY Patio Covers

In addition to residential patio covers, Patio Covers and More completes commercial projects for businesses and other properties requiring durable outdoor coverage. Each project is planned around the site's layout, intended use, and design requirements.

For homeowners who prefer to complete their own installation, we also offer DIY patio cover options. Kits can be shipped directly for installation, and our team can provide professional installation if you decide you would rather have us complete the project.

Lifetime Transferable Warranty

We stand behind our patio cover installations with a lifetime transferable warranty covering qualifying mechanical or structural failures. If an issue covered by the warranty develops, you can contact our team for assistance.

The warranty can also transfer to a future homeowner. New owners can contact Patio Covers and More so we can update our records and review basic maintenance information with them, helping protect the patio cover for years to come.
