Patio Cover Design & Installation

Shade, Shelter, and Style—Built Just for Your Backyard

A well-designed patio cover transforms your outdoor space into a comfortable, usable extension of your home—rain or shine. At Homesmith, we design and build custom patio covers that provide shelter, enhance curb appeal, and seamlessly blend with your home’s architecture. Whether you’re looking to enjoy quiet mornings out of the sun or entertain guests year-round, we create structures that offer both beauty and protection.

Built with quality materials and expert craftsmanship, our patio covers are made to last and tailored to your lifestyle.

Start Your Project

Our Patio Cover Options

Attached Patio Covers

Extend your roofline with a patio cover that ties directly into your home’s structure. Ideal for decks, patios, and back porch areas that need year-round coverage with a built-in look.

Freestanding Patio Covers

Perfect for gardens, poolside areas, or separate gathering spaces. Freestanding covers offer versatility in placement and can be styled as pavilions, shade structures, or outdoor lounges.

Wood, Aluminum, or Composite Materials

Choose from natural wood for warmth and character, powder-coated aluminum for low maintenance, or composite options that combine the best of both.

Custom Features & Add-Ons

We offer integrated lighting, ceiling fans, privacy screens, and custom columns or stonework to enhance comfort, ambiance, and design.

What’s Included in a Custom Patio Cover Project

On-Site Consultation & Layout Planning

We visit your property to assess the layout, measure the space, and understand how you use your outdoor area. Then, we help design a patio cover that fits both your lifestyle and your home’s existing architecture.

Custom Design & Materials Selection

You choose from wood, aluminum, or composite structures, with options for roof style, trim, and finish. We tailor every design element to match your home’s exterior and meet your functionality goals.

Permits & Code Compliance

We handle all required permitting, HOA approvals (if needed), and ensure your patio cover is built to meet local building codes and wind-load requirements—so you can relax knowing everything is covered.

Professional Framing & Roofing

Our experienced crew builds a strong, weather-resistant structure with precise framing, structural supports, and high-quality roofing materials—whether open slat, shingled, or solid panel.

Finish Carpentry & Detail Work

We add architectural trim, posts, soffits, and finishing touches like paint or stain to ensure your patio cover looks built-in—not tacked on. Everything is clean, cohesive, and beautifully executed.

Optional Upgrades & Add-Ons

Want more function? We offer integrated lighting, ceiling fans, privacy screens, decorative columns, or even TV and speaker wiring—so your patio becomes a fully functional extension of your indoor space.
