All of them! We design to the wind, seismic, snow load and frost depth of your address.
Yes! We have installers set up throughout California, Arizona and Nevada. Contact us for working with your contractor in other states.
Yes! We have been using the same elastomeric sealant for 8 years which is rated for 180 F. This flexible roofing product providing excellent elasticity in hot or cold climate seals the solar panels against the rafters preventing water from getting through.
Every patio cover is a custom design.
Each patio cover is professionally engineered with calculations done by an engineer licensed in your state. The minimum wind speed our patio covers are desiged to is 95 MPH but many regions have requiresments in excess of 115 MPH or more.
The calculations performed by a licensed engineer absolutely have to take the specific seismic requirements of your area into consideration. California definitely has high seismic requirement areas which we have build patio covers in.
We use a Behr or Sherwin Williams 100% acrylic paint which can be tinted to any color. You simply visit the store near you and select the color you want and we coat it in our shop and the patio cover can be easily touched up after installation.
We frequently cover distances up to 30 feet, but it depends on snow and wind loading and seismic forces.
These items are all easy to add - either included with your patio cover or another electrical contractor later or by the homeowner.
Our design incorporates outdoor LED lighting in the hidden wire trays directly under the panels. There are pictures of this on the Photos page. These lights are controlled by a dimmer placed on any leg the homeowner chooses. The cost is generally low enough that every patio cover gets them.
