Solid Patio Covers in San Jacinto, CA

With Quality First Patios, a solid patio cover in San Jacinto starts at $2,800 for a 10×10 non-insulated cover and $3,800 for a 10×10 insulated cover. A 20×20 costs $5,800 non-insulated or $8,000 insulated. Prices are for an attached cover, installed; the City permit fee is billed separately.

For most San Jacinto homes, yes. Summer afternoons here run in the 90s and pass 100°F in heat waves, so a bare patio is often too hot to use until evening. A solid cover makes it usable most of the year and keeps sun off your furniture, sliding door and back wall.

Yes. Send photos of your patio and rough measurements through the form or to info@qualityfirstpatios.com, and we'll reply with a free estimate. We confirm the details at a free home visit before you sign.

California law limits the down payment on a home improvement contract to $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less. We follow that rule, and the payment schedule is written into your contract before work starts.

Yes. We offer financing through Lyons Financial. Ask about it when we put together your estimate.

Yes. Inside city limits the permit comes from the City of San Jacinto Building & Safety; in unincorporated areas nearby it comes from Riverside County. We prepare the plot plan and engineering, submit them and book the final inspection.

Review time depends on the City's workload and on whether the plans need corrections. [FILL: typical City review time] We submit the plans right after you sign, and production starts once the permit is approved.

Those areas are unincorporated, so Riverside County Building & Safety issues the permit, not the City of San Jacinto. Tell us your address and we'll confirm which office reviews your plans.

Most San Jacinto HOAs approve aluminum patio covers when the color and roofline match the house. We give you the drawings, color samples and spec sheets your HOA committee asks for.

Often yes, but plan for it now. An enclosed room is reviewed differently from an open patio cover and needs its own engineering and permit. If you might enclose it, tell us at the estimate; an insulated roof is the better start.

If your patio faces west or south and takes the afternoon sun, an insulated solid patio cover keeps the space much cooler and quieter in the rain. If you mainly want shade at a lower price, a non-insulated roof works well, especially on east- or north-facing patios.

No. A solid roof blocks direct sun, so the slab, furniture and air under it stay cooler than in open sun. A single-layer aluminum panel does warm up in strong sun; an insulated foam-core roof blocks most of that heat. A ceiling fan helps move the air.

Yes, when it is built to the engineering. Our covers are engineered for wind codes up to 130 mph and seismic Category D, with footings and connections sized to match.

An attached solid patio cover is the most common choice and costs less; it mounts to your wall, fascia or roof. A freestanding cover stands on its own posts and suits a pool, a spa or the back of the yard. It costs about 40% more for a non-insulated cover.

We don't put a solid roof on top of an existing lattice cover, because its beams and posts usually weren't designed for a solid roof's weight and wind load. We remove the old cover and build a new solid one.

Not quite. An awning is usually lighter and hangs off the wall, often with fabric or thin metal. A solid patio cover has an engineered aluminum roof on beams and posts, built to the building code with a permit.

In San Jacinto's sun, aluminum is the low-maintenance choice: it doesn't rot, crack or attract termites, and the factory finish never needs painting. Wood needs regular sealing or paint. We build in aluminum only.

White, Pewter, Sandal Wood, Rose Wood, Drift Wood, Beach Wood, Maple Wood, Sienna Wood and Ebony/Black. Black and white are our most popular picks, and a white aluminum attached solid patio cover is a classic match for a stucco home.

Yes. Our crew runs the wiring during the build, so ceiling lights sit recessed and no cords run along the frame. You choose and buy an outdoor-rated fan, and we install it.

An aluminum solid patio cover can last for decades because it won't rot or attract termites. Duralum backs the finish with a lifetime warranty that transfers to the next owner, insulated panels carry a 20-year limited warranty, and we add our workmanship warranty.

Very little. Rinse the roof and frame with a hose a few times a year, clear leaves from the gutters, and wash marks off with mild soap and water. Skip the pressure washer and stay off the roof panels.

It can make the rooms that open onto the patio a little darker, because the roof blocks direct sun at those windows. A lighter color and recessed lights help. If a room's only window opens onto the patio, the code may require a light in that room; we flag it at the estimate.

Yes. If you have an old wood or aluminum patio cover, we take it down and haul it away before we build the new one. Removal is listed on its own line in your written quote.
