West Coast Awnings designs and builds custom aluminum patio covers and awnings in Sacramento. Whether you are searching for aluminum patio covers near me, shade for a sun-baked backyard, or a finished outdoor living space, we build it to last and to fit your home.
A custom aluminum patio cover increases the value of your home, extends your living space outdoors, and turns a hot slab of concrete into the place your family actually uses. We work in three core styles so you can match the cover to how you use the space, and we install aluminum window awnings to cut heat and energy costs at your doors and windows. Every cover is measured on site, engineered for your roofline, and permitted before we build.
Locally owned and operated, we proudly serve Sacramento, West Sacramento, Rosemont, La Riviera, Florin, Rio Linda, Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Lincoln, Folsom, Foothill Farms, Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Roseville, Rocklin, Antelope, Loomis, Granite Bay, Auburn, and the surrounding communities.
Aluminum Patio Covers in Sacramento: Lattice, Solid, and Combination
Three styles, one material. Each cover is built from Durawood embossed aluminum with a textured woodgrain finish that looks like wood but will not rust, warp, crack, or rot. Pick the style that matches how much sun you want to keep.
Lattice Patio Covers
Filtered shade with light and air moving through. The right call for gardens, walkways, and open seating where you still want the sun.

Solid Patio Covers
Full shade and rain protection for a true outdoor room. Available non-insulated or with insulated IR3 panels that keep the space noticeably cooler.
Explore solid covers ›
Combination Covers
Solid coverage where you sit or grill, open lattice across the rest. Sun when you want it, shade when you need it.

Custom Patio Covers Built for Your Home
We do not sell kits. Every West Coast Awnings patio cover is custom designed and built to your home's exact dimensions. That starts with a choice most homeowners have not thought about yet: attached or free-standing.
- Attached patio covers tie into your roofline or fascia and extend the house outward. This is the most common build for back patios off a kitchen or family room.
- Free-standing patio covers sit on their own posts anywhere in the yard. They are the answer for pools, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and spaces the house cannot reach.
- Size and shape are set by your measurements, not a catalog. Long, wide, L-shaped, or wrapped around a corner of the house.
- Add-ons include recessed lighting, ceiling fans, electrical outlets, and flush-mounted built-in patio speakers.
Nine Colors, Four Cut Styles
Each cover comes in nine woodgrain and solid finishes so it matches your exterior, and the fascia can be finished in one of four cut styles to follow the lines of your home. A few of the most popular colors:
Also available in Pewter, Siennawood, and Slate. On-screen colors may vary slightly from the finished product.

Patio Cover FAQs
How much does a patio cover cost in Sacramento?
Every cover is custom built, so the price depends on four things: the size of the cover, the style (lattice is the most economical, then solid, then solid insulated), how it attaches to your home, and any add-ons like lighting, fans, or built-in speakers. Because every yard and roofline is different, the most accurate number comes from a free on-site consultation, where we measure the space and give you a clear, no-pressure quote. Request yours below.
Do I need a permit for a patio cover in Sacramento?
In most cases a permanent, attached patio cover requires a building permit in the Sacramento area, and requirements vary by city and county. We pull the permit and build to code as part of every project. Read more about Sacramento patio cover permits.
Are aluminum patio covers better than wood?
For Sacramento, yes. Aluminum does not rust, rot, warp, crack, or attract termites, and it needs almost no maintenance. Our Durawood aluminum has an embossed woodgrain finish that gives you the look of wood without the upkeep, backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Is Durawood the same as Alumawood?
They are two brands of the same type of product: embossed aluminum patio cover systems with a woodgrain finish. Durawood is made by Duralum and Alumawood by Amerimax. West Coast Awnings installs both, so if you have been researching Alumawood patio covers in Sacramento, we can build what you are looking for.
Do you build free-standing patio covers?
Yes. We build both attached covers that tie into your roofline and free-standing covers on their own posts for pools, outdoor kitchens, and areas away from the house. Free-standing covers are available in lattice, solid, and combination styles.
How long does patio cover installation take?
Most installations are finished in one to two days once the permit is approved and materials arrive. The full timeline from consultation to completed cover depends on your city's permit turnaround, which we handle for you.
What areas does West Coast Awnings serve?
We serve Sacramento, West Sacramento, Carmichael, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Fair Oaks, Folsom, Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Orangevale, Antelope, Loomis, Granite Bay, Auburn, and the surrounding communities. See our pages for Roseville, Folsom, Elk Grove, and Citrus Heights.
What warranty comes with a West Coast Awnings patio cover?
