What Our Clients Say
Texas Patio Covers were absolutely amazing with their work and their customer service. They were very prompt and kept me informed throughout the whole process. They were also very professional and they knew what they were doing. Thank you Texas Patio Covers for the best customer experience. The patio looks fantastic!
D. Herman - San Antonio, TX
Well done and looks great. They did all the review and approval process with the HOA and left us to just watch the build .The job was done in three days (would have been sooner but for the weather). The choice of colors was most impressive and they were able to match our home’s exterior colors almost perfectly. That was VERY important when it came to getting approval from the HOA. I highly recommend Texas Patio Covers! Thanks Ron!
C. Murray - Leander, TX
You guys ROCK! Ahead of schedule and the project cost was exactly the same as what I was quoted. Thank you so much for keeping my wife informed about the project timeline. The screened in patio cover is exactly what we hoped for.
S. Lynch - Austin, TX
I appreciate the efforts of all involved. The covered area was precisely what I envisioned, and the pricing was reasonable. The job was finished exactly as promised.

FAQ
Common Questions About Aluminum Patio Roof Extensions
What is the difference between insulated and non‑insulated aluminum patio covers?
Insulated covers use a foam‑core panel that reduces heat, supports electrical, and adds rigidity. Non‑insulated covers are more affordable but don’t offer the same cooling performance.
Do aluminum patio covers get hot in Texas?
Aluminum reflects heat better than wood or steel, and insulated panels significantly reduce radiant heat underneath.
Can I add lighting or fans to my aluminum cover?
Yes. Our covers are built to support electrical upgrades. Insulated aluminum covers are ideal for recessed lighting, fans, and electrical upgrades.
Are aluminum patio covers allowed by HOAs?
Yes. Most Austin and San Antonio HOAs approve aluminum because it’s clean, modern, and color‑stable. We provide drawings and handle the approval process.
How long do aluminum patio covers last?
Our covers come with a lifetime warranty with minimal maintenance.
