Sacramento’s Premier Patio Cover Contractor Since 1947
Transform your outdoor living space with a custom patio cover from Pacific Builders. For over 75 years, Sacramento homeowners have trusted our family-owned company to design and install beautiful, durable patio covers that extend their living areas and protect against the Central Valley’s intense summer heat. Whether you envision a solid roof for complete shade, an elegant lattice design for filtered sunlight, or an innovative louvered system with adjustable panels, we craft every cover to complement your home’s architecture and your lifestyle.
Patio Cover Styles We Offer in Sacramento
Solid Patio Covers
Our insulated solid patio covers provide complete protection from sun, rain, and the elements. Engineered with high-density foam insulation, these covers reduce heat transfer and create a comfortable outdoor room you can enjoy year-round. Perfect for Sacramento’s hot summers, a solid cover can lower adjacent indoor temperatures by up to 10 degrees, saving you money on air conditioning.
Lattice Patio Covers
Lattice patio covers offer the ideal balance of shade and natural light. Available in a variety of patterns and spacing options, lattice covers create a beautiful dappled sunlight effect while still reducing UV exposure. They’re an excellent choice for Sacramento homeowners who want to maintain an open, airy feel in their backyard while adding architectural interest.
Combination Patio Covers
Why choose between solid and lattice when you can have both? Our combination patio covers pair a solid insulated section near your home with a lattice extension, giving you full shade where you need it and filtered light where you want it. This versatile design is one of our most popular options in the greater Sacramento area.
Non-Insulated Patio Covers
A budget-friendly option that still delivers excellent shade and weather protection, our non-insulated patio covers use durable aluminum construction to provide reliable coverage. These covers are lightweight, low-maintenance, and available in multiple colors to match your home’s exterior.
Louvered & Adjustable Patio Covers
Experience the ultimate in outdoor comfort control with our louvered patio covers. Featuring adjustable aluminum louvers that rotate up to 170 degrees, you can fine-tune your shade and airflow with the touch of a button. Open them fully to enjoy Sacramento’s sunny skies, or close them completely for rain protection — the choice is yours, all day long.
Awnings
Retractable and fixed awnings offer flexible shade solutions for patios, decks, and windows. Our premium awning systems are built to withstand Sacramento’s climate while adding a sleek, modern look to your home’s exterior.

Patio Cover Cost, Permits & Planning in Sacramento
Every Sacramento patio cover project is different, so pricing depends on the size of the cover, the roof style, materials, electrical options, attachment details, and site conditions. A simple non-insulated aluminum patio cover usually prices differently than an insulated solid roof, a combination lattice-and-solid design, or a motorized louvered patio cover. During the estimate, Pacific Builders reviews your backyard layout, shade goals, drainage, existing concrete or decking, and the look of your home so the design fits the property instead of feeling bolted on as an afterthought.
Most attached patio covers in Sacramento and nearby cities require proper planning and permitting. Our team helps homeowners think through practical details like post placement, roof tie-ins, gutter/drainage needs, fan or lighting locations, and how the cover will perform during Sacramento heat, rain, and daily use. The goal is simple: a patio cover that looks right, functions well, and gives your family a more comfortable outdoor living area for years.
Popular Patio Cover Options for Sacramento Heat
- Insulated patio covers: a strong choice when you want full shade, better heat control, and a more finished outdoor room feel.
- Aluminum patio covers: durable, low-maintenance, and built for homeowners who want long-term performance without constant upkeep.
- Louvered patio covers: adjustable shade and airflow for homeowners who want control over sun, ventilation, and rain protection.
- Lattice patio covers: filtered shade with a lighter, open look that still softens Sacramento’s direct afternoon sun.
- Combination patio covers: solid coverage near the home with lattice or open sections where you want more light.

Patio Cover FAQs
How much does a patio cover cost in Sacramento?
Patio cover cost depends on size, materials, roof type, attachment details, electrical options, permits, and site conditions. A basic shade structure will usually cost less than an insulated solid roof or motorized louvered system. The best next step is an in-home estimate so the design and price match your actual backyard.
Do patio covers need permits in Sacramento?
Many attached patio covers require permits or code review, especially when they connect to the home, include electrical, or affect drainage/structural details. Pacific Builders helps homeowners plan the project correctly instead of guessing and hoping the city is feeling generous.
What is the best patio cover material for Sacramento heat?
Insulated and aluminum patio covers are popular for Sacramento homes because they provide durable shade, low maintenance, and better comfort during hot summers. Louvered systems are also strong options when homeowners want adjustable sun and airflow control.
Can lights, fans, or electrical be added to a patio cover?
Yes. Lighting, ceiling fans, outlets, and other electrical features can often be planned into the patio cover design. It is best to discuss these options early so wiring, structure, and placement are handled cleanly.
How long does patio cover installation take?
Timeline depends on design complexity, materials, permitting, and site readiness. During your estimate, Pacific Builders can explain the expected design, approval, and installation process for your specific project.
