Apollo Louvered Patio Covers in Sacramento

Control your shade with the touch of a button. The Apollo louvered system has an adjustable roof of aluminum blades that rotate, so you decide how much sun reaches the patio and you can change your mind at four in the afternoon.

A louvered awning is the ideal answer to our climate: incredible sun through the summer and wet winter months. Closed louvers shed rain into an integrated drainage system, so the space underneath stays usable in January. Open them and the patio is bright and airy in April.

The Apollo system can be integrated with any other style of aluminum cover we build, including the solid insulated IR3, the solid non-insulated, or the lattice patio cover. Ask us for options and we will design a patio that fits how your family actually uses the yard.

Louvered Systems and Fixed Aluminum Patio Covers

Most homeowners compare a louvered system against a fixed roof before deciding, so it is worth seeing the fixed options too. Our full range of patio covers in Sacramento covers solid, lattice and combination builds and what each one is best at.

If you like the idea of adjustable light but want a lower cost, a combination lattice-solid patio cover gives you a fully shaded zone and an open zone on the same frame with no moving parts. If you are comparing local installers, our page on aluminum patio covers near me explains how we quote and what is included.

We install louvered and fixed covers throughout Sacramento, Roseville, Elk Grove, Folsom, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, Rancho Cordova and Rocklin.

Louvered Patio Cover Questions

What is a louvered patio cover?

A louvered cover has an adjustable roof made of aluminum blades that rotate. Open them for light and airflow, close them for full shade and rain protection. It is the only patio cover type that changes through the day without you rebuilding anything.

How is a louvered system different from a lattice cover?

A lattice cover has fixed openings, so the amount of light it lets through never changes. A louvered system moves. If you want filtered light and a lower cost, lattice is the answer. If you want to control shade on demand, louvered is.

Are louvered covers worth the extra cost over a fixed roof?

It depends on how much the patio is used and how much the sun moves across it. Patios that are comfortable in the morning and unusable by four in the afternoon are where louvered systems earn their money. A combination lattice-solid cover is the lower cost way to get part of the same effect.

Do louvered patio covers hold up in rain?

Closed louvers shed rain into an integrated drainage system, so the space underneath stays usable through a Sacramento winter. Some homeowners still choose a solid roof when rain protection is the main goal and adjustability is not.

Do you service and repair louvered systems?

Yes. We install, service and repair the systems we sell, including motors and controls, and we can look at existing louvered covers installed by others.
