Custom Patio Covers Built to Last

A good patio cover does more than add shade. It makes your outdoor space easier to use, more comfortable in hot weather, and better protected from rain, sun, and daily wear. At Richard Anson-Romano LLC, we build patio covers that help homeowners get more value from their yard while keeping the design practical, clean, and built to last.

We approach every patio cover project with the mindset of a hands-on home remodeling contractor. That means we look at the whole space, not just the roof structure. We consider how the cover will connect to your home, how water will move off the roof, how much sunlight you want to keep or block, and how the finished structure will fit the style of your property. Our goal is to give you a patio area that feels like a natural extension of your home.

What a Patio Cover Can Do for Your Home

A properly built patio cover adds function and comfort right away. It can create a shaded space for relaxing, grilling, dining, or spending time with family. It can also help protect patio furniture, grills, outdoor kitchens, doors, windows, and nearby wood surfaces from harsh UV exposure and weather damage. For many homeowners, a patio cover also makes the backyard feel more finished and organized.

Some of the biggest benefits include:

• More shade and lower sun exposure
• Better protection from light rain and changing weather
• Less wear on outdoor furniture and exterior finishes
• A more usable outdoor living area through more seasons
• Improved curb appeal and backyard appearance
• Added value and function for the home

Our Patio Cover Service

Our patio cover service is built around your space, your budget, and how you plan to use the area. Some homeowners want a simple covered patio for weekend use. Others want a larger structure that supports outdoor entertaining, grilling, or a lounge area. We can help plan a solution that works with your property layout and the style of your home.

We handle the full process with attention to detail, including:

• Reviewing the patio area and surrounding structure
• Discussing attached and freestanding cover options
• Planning size, layout, roof style, and support placement
• Recommending material options based on appearance, budget, and maintenance needs
• Building the structure with solid workmanship and clean finishing
• Making sure the cover blends well with the house and outdoor space

Common Patio Cover Options

Not every yard needs the same type of cover. We help homeowners compare the most practical options so they can make a smart long-term decision.

Attached Patio Covers

An attached patio cover connects to the home and creates a smooth transition from the house to the outdoor living area. This is a popular choice when you want the covered space right outside a back door, sliding door, or kitchen area. Attached covers often feel more integrated with the home and can give the patio a more finished look.

Freestanding Patio Covers

A freestanding patio cover stands on its own and can be placed away from the house if needed. This is a useful option for larger yards, poolside areas, garden seating spaces, or outdoor gathering spots that are separate from the main structure. Freestanding covers offer flexibility in placement and design.

Solid Roof Patio Covers

A solid roof patio cover provides the most shade and weather protection. This option works well if you want stronger protection from direct sun and rain. It is often a good fit for outdoor dining areas, entertainment spaces, and patios that get intense afternoon sun.

Lattice and Partial Shade Covers

Some homeowners want shade without fully closing off the space. Lattice-style or partial shade covers can soften sunlight while still allowing airflow and an open feel. These features can create a lighter visual look and work well in areas where full coverage is not necessary.

Material Considerations

The right materials matter for strength, appearance, and maintenance. We talk through the pros and cons of different patio cover materials so you know what to expect over time. Depending on the project, homeowners may choose wood, aluminum, or other low-maintenance exterior materials.

Wood patio covers remain a popular option for their natural appearance and design flexibility. They can be customized to match many home styles and can be painted or stained to fit the rest of the exterior. Since our company also focuses heavily on deck and fence staining, we understand how important it is to protect exposed wood from sun, moisture, and premature aging. If your patio cover includes wood components, we can help you plan for proper finishing and long-term care.

Low-maintenance materials may be a better fit for homeowners who want durability with less upkeep. In many cases, the best choice depends on your design goals, maintenance expectations, and climate exposure.

Design and Planning Details

A patio cover should do more than simply fit the space. It should improve the way the entire outdoor area works. We pay attention to key planning details that affect comfort, appearance, and long-term performance.

• Size and coverage: We help determine how much of the patio should be covered based on seating, walkways, grill placement, and traffic flow.
• Height and clearance: Proper height helps the structure feel open and comfortable while still providing useful shade.
• Roof pitch and drainage: Water needs to move away from the house and patio correctly to help prevent drainage issues.
• Support placement: Posts and framing should provide strength without making the patio feel crowded or awkward.
• Style match: The design should complement your home’s trim, color, roofline, and overall architecture.

Workmanship That Protects Your Investment

A patio cover is an exterior structure, so the quality of the build matters. Poor layout, weak connections, or bad drainage planning can lead to problems later. We focus on solid construction methods, clean lines, and practical design choices that hold up over time. Our remodeling experience helps us see the details that affect long-term performance, not just the immediate look of the finished project.

We also understand that many outdoor spaces include wood decks, fences, railings, pergolas, and trim features nearby. When we build a patio cover, we look at how it will impact those surfaces and how the whole area can work together. That bigger-picture approach helps create a better result for the homeowner.
