Consider both the patio and the rooms whose windows face it. ### Match the structure to the space Attached, freestanding and cantilever layouts suit different yards. Think about posts, circulation, seating and the connection to the house before choosing the arrangement. ### Plan the small conveniences early Fans, lighting, outlets and rain management are easier to coordinate with the structure from the beginning. Discuss where you will dine, lounge or cook so these details land in useful places. ## Patio Covers in Orange County: questions, answered. ### What type of patio cover do you recommend? For most homes we recommend aluminum. It needs less engineering, costs less than wood, resists termites, holds up to the weather, and comes in more styles and colors. We build lattice, solid, and adjustable louvered covers. ### What is the difference between Duralum and 4K aluminum? Standard Duralum is our most popular, cost effective option. 4K aluminum is the high end upgrade: stronger, more modern, and available in realistic wood grain finishes that look like wood without the upkeep. ### What is an adjustable louvered roof? It is a roof with louvers that open like a lattice for sun and air, or close like a solid roof for full shade and rain protection. It can be manual or electric. ### Can I add lighting or a fan to my patio cover? Yes. On solid roofs we can add ceiling fans, LED lighting, and electric outlets. Solid covers also include rain gutters. ### Do I need a permit for a patio cover? Usually yes, and sometimes engineering too. We handle the permits and any engineering for you, so the project is approved and to code. ### Can the cover attach to my house, or does it stand alone? Both. Most covers attach to the home to extend your living space, but we also build freestanding covers and high end cantilever covers with posts on one side only. ### How much does a patio cover cost? It depends on the size, material, roof style, and options. We give you an itemized estimate up front along with a free 3D design, so you know the real number before we start. ### Do you work with HOAs? Yes. Many Orange County neighborhoods have an HOA approval process, and we have a lot of experience with them. We help prepare and submit the plans your HOA needs before we build. ## Helpful planning guides. ## Explore More Possibilities --- HQ Remodeling & Design, 17011 Beach Blvd, Suite 900, Huntington Beach, CA 92647.
