“Very Professional and Reliable”

Alumawood® Roof Styles & Custom Designs
Alumawood patio covers have 3 distinct roof coverings that can be customized in a variety of ways. Each holds up well in Southern California. Find the perfect one for you!
Insulated Roof
For homeowners looking for the highest level of comfort and protection, we install Alumawood insulated patio covers. Available in 3-inch and 4-inch panel thicknesses, these covers feature a solid roof design with a high-density foam core to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. They block heat during the day, retain warmth on cooler nights, and create a more enjoyable outdoor living space. Our San Diego County patio cover contractor sees high demand for insulated patio covers from homeowners near Carlsbad, Escondido, and Chula Vista due to the cool ocean breeze.
When paired with ceiling fans, misting systems, or outdoor heaters, insulated patio covers can transform your patio into a true four-season retreat. And because they’re fully solid, they provide excellent protection from rain, even during Southern California’s winter storms.
Solid Roof (Non-Insulated)
Alumawood solid patio covers offer dependable shade and weather protection with a clean, modern look. Ideal for homeowners who want full overhead coverage without the added cost of insulation, solid roof panels are a popular choice for patios, walkways, and outdoor kitchens. They block 100% of direct sun and provide effective rain protection, making your space usable for more of the year. Our Orange County patio cover contractor installs many solid roof Alumawood patio covers near Irvine, CA, since there’s a more moderate climate compared to the inland extremes.
Lattice Pergola
For those who want partial shade without losing the open-air feel, Alumawood lattice pergolas offer a perfect balance. Designed to reduce direct sunlight while still allowing airflow and filtered light, these covers are ideal for outdoor lounging, garden spaces, or poolside patios. We frequently build Alumawood pergolas in warmer inland areas like Temecula, San Bernardino, and Riverside, where our Riverside County patio cover contractor helps homeowners cut the sun’s intensity without losing that bright, breezy feel.
Custom Alumawood Designs
Every outdoor space is different, and your patio cover should be too. At Valley Patios, we install custom Alumawood patio covers that go beyond standard layouts. Whether you want a clean modern roofline or a more dramatic architectural feature, we’ll help you design a structure that fits both your home and how you live outdoors.
Popular customizations include gabled roofs for added height and ventilation, combo covers that blend solid and lattice sections for both sun and shade, and wraparound designs that extend coverage along multiple sides of the home. We also build freestanding structures, integrate lighting and fan mounts, and offer a wide range of color combinations, end cut styles, and beam configurations.
From angled patios to uneven terrain, we specialize in adapting Alumawood patio covers to fit complex layouts and HOA requirements. Whether you're in a hillside home in Fallbrook or a tight backyard in Mission Viejo, our team designs each project for the best possible fit, function, and finish.
