How much will my patio cover actually cost?+
It depends on the size of your space and which product you choose — lattice and pergola are the most affordable, solid and insulated covers sit in the middle, and premium Velaro louvered systems are the top tier. Rather than guess, the fastest way to a real number is a free, in-home consultation: we measure, walk through your options, and put an exact, written price in your hands — no pressure to commit.
What does the "5-Star Lifetime Guarantee" actually cover?+
Five things, in writing: (1) zero leaks for the life of the structure, (2) wind-damage repair on our dime, (3) workmanship — every weld, fastener, and seal — covered for life, (4) we pay you $100/day if we run past 30 days on a typical install, (5) a clean job site every day with daily text updates. It's the only guarantee like it in the industry. We checked.
I've been burned by contractors before. Why should I trust you?+
Fair question. Three things: (1) we've been in the industry since 1996 — same family, same standards. (2) Our crews are ours — we don't subcontract a single install. (3) The receipts are public: 281+ five-star reviews on Yelp, 4.7 on Google, 4.6 across 343 customers on NiceJob, BuildZoom Top 2%. Read the reviews before you call. We'll wait.
How long does install take?+
Most installs are done in 1–2 days. From the day you sign to the day we finish, expect 1–2 weeks once permits clear. We handle the permit and HOA paperwork for you — you don't have to chase anything.
Do you handle HOA approval and permits?+
Yes. We pull every permit and submit every HOA package — it's included. We've worked in nearly every HOA in Riverside, Orange, San Bernardino, and LA Counties, so we know which boards want which paperwork.
Do you offer financing?+
Yes — financing from 18 months to 8 years, depending on credit and project size. We'll walk you through the options on the consult so you can see real monthly numbers before deciding.
What areas do you serve?+
Riverside, Orange, San Bernardino, and LA Counties. If you're in the High Desert (Hesperia, Victorville, Apple Valley), we'll refer you to Built Right Patios — a trusted partner who covers that area.
