A polycarbonate cover keeps rain, hail and harsh sun off the patio while its panels diffuse daylight, so the space stays bright and noticeably cooler underneath.

  • Built for Rough Weather

    Polycarbonate flexes instead of shattering, so hail, wind-blown debris and falling branches are far less of a worry than with glass.

  • Cooler, Softer Light

    The panels diffuse sunlight and block most UV, so the patio stays bright without the glare and heat of open sun.

  • Strong Value

    A durable, lightweight roof at a friendly price, with a written line-item estimate and nothing added after you sign.

  1. Consult

    A free visit: we measure your patio, look at where the cover meets the house, and bring polycarbonate samples in each tint so you can compare the light.

  2. Planning

    We draw up the plans, lock in the size, tint and frame color with you, and put it all in a written contract. Then we file for the permit right away.

  3. Installation

    Most polycarbonate covers go up in 4-7 days: posts and beams first, then the panels, gutter and downspout. Our crew cleans up every day.

  4. Completion

    We walk the finished cover with you, show you how to care for the panels, and hand over the warranties.

We design and install patio covers for homeowners within about 50 miles of Vancouver, WA: the whole Portland metro, Southwest Washington up to Longview and Kelso, and out to Newberg, McMinnville, Woodburn and Sandy. Not sure if we cover your street? Give us a call.

Both are light panels on the same aluminum frame. Polycarbonate is the tougher of the two against impact, so it shrugs off hail and falling branches, and it usually costs a little less. ACRYLITE® stays clearer over the years and blocks more of the sun’s heat. We bring samples of both to the consultation.

Polycarbonate is one of the most impact-resistant roofing panels you can put over a patio, far tougher than glass, and it flexes rather than shatters. The frame under it is sized for local wind and snow loads in the permitted plans.

Yes. The panels have a UV-protective layer on the outside face that blocks most of the sun’s UV, which protects you, your furniture and the panel itself from sun damage.

Yes. The panels diffuse sunlight instead of blocking it, so the patio and the room next to it stay bright while the glare and much of the heat stay out. Clear, bronze and opal tints let you choose how much light comes through.

Multiwall panels have air channels between their faces that soften the sound of rain compared with a single sheet or a metal roof.

Rinse with a hose, then wash with mild soap and a soft sponge a couple of times a year. Skip abrasive pads and solvent cleaners, which can scratch the UV layer.

Most installs take 4-7 days on site. The rest of the calendar is design approval and your city’s permit review, which we file right away and keep you updated on.

All three roofs sit on the same engineered aluminum frame, built by the same crew. Only the panels change.
