Aluminum Patio Cover and Awning Installation in Sacramento

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 2009. 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.

Six Patio Cover and Awning Styles We Install

How Our Patio Cover and Awning Installation Works

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.

1. On-site measure and consultationWe come to the house, measure the space, look at your roofline, fascia and attachment points, and talk through how you actually use the yard. Sun angle, existing trees and where you want to sit all change the recommendation.
2. Design and one installed priceYou get the style, color, cut and dimensions in writing with a single installed number. We do not quote patio covers over the phone, because a phone quote is a guess.
3. Engineering and permitWe prepare the plans and submit the permit with your city or county. Attached covers in the Sacramento area almost always require one, and a permitted cover is on record when you sell the home.
4. Local fabricationYour cover is cut to your measurements rather than pulled off a stock rack, which is why the posts land where you want them instead of where a kit says they go.
5. Installation and inspectionOur own crew installs the cover, usually in one to two days once the permit clears, and we handle the final inspection. Site cleanup is part of the job.

What Every Installation Includes

• A fully transferable lifetime warranty from our manufacturing partners

Choosing the Right Cover for Your Space

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.

• Solid covers block sun and rain completely, which makes the patio usable year round and protects furniture, draperies and flooring from fading. This is the choice for a dedicated outdoor room, a covered dining area or anywhere you want shade on a hot west-facing patio.
• Lattice covers filter sunlight instead of blocking it and let air move through. They keep a garden or planted area bright, soften the afternoon glare and give a patio structure without making it feel closed in.
• Combination covers put a solid section over the seating or dining area and lattice over the rest, which is the most flexible option on a larger patio where you want shade in one zone and light in another.
• Louvered systems let you change the angle of the roof blades on demand, so the same cover gives full shade at midday and open sky in the evening.

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.

Why Aluminum Holds Up in Sacramento

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.

Why Homeowners Choose a Local Installation Company

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.
