Patio Covers in Tempe, AZ

Shade is functional infrastructure in the Valley. A well-planned patio cover can make an outdoor room usable for longer periods while also changing the light and heat that reaches adjacent doors and windows.

Project Scope

What this remodel can include

  • Attached patio covers
  • Freestanding shade structures
  • Solid-roof patio covers
  • Pergola-style shade concepts
  • Covers integrated with outdoor kitchens
  • Ceiling fan and lighting coordination

Plan the project before demolition

The structure has to relate to the existing house, setbacks, roof drainage and intended furniture layout. We also consider sun angle and whether a solid roof or more open shade strategy better fits the yard.

Design the details around how the space is used

A cover can be a standalone improvement or part of a broader patio remodel with flooring, lighting, kitchen elements and a larger door opening back to the house.

What matters for this type of remodel

Patio covers are primarily about creating useful shade while fitting the existing house. Structure, drainage, sun angle, fans and lighting all influence the final design.

Questions

Common questions

Do patio covers require permits?

Structural covers may require permits depending on design and jurisdiction.

Can lighting and fans be included?

Yes. Electrical planning is easier when fixtures and fan locations are decided before the ceiling or cover is completed.

Can a patio cover be freestanding?

Yes, when the site, setbacks and structural design support a detached structure.
