BackCustom Patio Covers in Mountain View, CA
Mountain View’s generally dry, sunny summers make backyard patios and outdoor seating areas useful for much of the warmer part of the year, but direct afternoon sun can make an uncovered space less comfortable. At the same time, the city’s housing stock varies considerably, from established single-family neighborhoods and mid-century homes to extensively remodeled properties, townhomes, and newer, denser development. Some properties have larger backyards with room for dedicated dining and entertaining areas, while others require more careful use of limited outdoor space.
That variety makes custom design particularly important. A patio cover should work with the architecture and proportions of the home while providing the right balance of shade, natural light, and usable covered space. Patio Covers and More brings more than 50 years of patio cover experience to residential projects throughout Northern California, helping homeowners create covered patios, decks, dining areas, and seating spaces suited to the way they use their property.
Whether you want relief from afternoon sun, coverage over an outdoor dining area, or a structure that makes a smaller backyard or patio more functional, we can help you explore the available styles and materials.
Patio Cover Options for Your Home
Different homes and outdoor areas call for different types of coverage. Some homeowners want substantial shade and weather protection, while others prefer to preserve natural light or maintain a more open feel.Options include acrylic patio covers, solid and insulated aluminum systems, along with our TRU View patio covers. Depending on your goals, we can help you compare options based on light transmission, shade, coverage, appearance, maintenance, and how the structure will relate to your home.
Mountain View's mix of architectural styles makes this flexibility particularly useful. A cover added to a mid-century home may call for a different profile and visual approach than one designed for a remodeled property or a newer townhome with more limited outdoor space.
Custom Design and In-House Manufacturing
Patio Covers and More handles design and manufacturing in-house, giving our team greater control over how each project is planned and built. Our award-winning design staff considers the home's architecture, patio or deck dimensions, sun exposure, surrounding structures, and intended use when developing the design.This approach is especially useful on properties where available outdoor space is limited or where a new structure needs to work around existing doors, windows, rooflines, landscaping, or other backyard features.
For homeowners who already have an aging, damaged, or outdated cover, we can also remove the existing structure and replace it with a new system. This provides an opportunity to reconsider the size, style, materials, and amount of coverage rather than simply duplicating what was there before.
We also design and manufacture patio cover systems for commercial properties that need functional covered outdoor areas.
Shade and Energy Benefits
A well-positioned patio cover can do more than make an outdoor area comfortable. By reducing the amount of direct sunlight reaching portions of the patio and adjacent areas of the home, overhead coverage can help limit solar heat gain during warmer weather.The actual effect depends on the orientation of the property, size and style of the cover, surrounding shade, glazing, and other characteristics of the home. Our design team can consider these factors when helping you select an option that balances shade with the amount of natural light you want to retain.
Insulated systems can provide additional protection from direct overhead heat while creating a substantial covered area for outdoor dining, relaxing, entertaining, or everyday family use.
Built for Long-Term Use
A patio cover is a permanent addition to the home, so material quality, construction, and ongoing support matter. Because Patio Covers and More manufactures the systems we install, we can stand behind both the product and installation.Our products are backed by a lifetime transferable warranty. If the home is sold, the warranty can be transferred to the new owner by updating the ownership information with our team. Should a covered structural or hardware issue arise, our team can provide warranty support and determine what is needed to address the problem.
Financing options are also available for homeowners planning a new project. Our team can discuss the project scope, available products, and financing during the consultation so you can evaluate the options that fit your plans and budget.
Sunrooms and Solariums
For homeowners who want more separation from outdoor conditions while still enjoying natural light and views, we also design and install sunrooms and solariums. These enclosed spaces provide an alternative to an open-air cover for homeowners looking to create a bright, protected extension of the home.The same in-house design and manufacturing capabilities apply to these enclosed projects. Our team applies the same custom approach to these enclosed projects, along with the long-term support and warranty advantages that come with our products.
