    Our home is west facing and during the entire year it was hard to enjoy the backyard because of the sun until we got our patio cover installed! Now we are out there all the time. We love the quality and the service from the team was top notch. Can't recommend this company more!

    Lights orientation

    I just installed an 18' X 11' non-insulated solid top. White pans and Spanish Brown posts/wrap/beams/plates. It is attached to my house on 2 sides (L-shaped). It looks fantastic and like the house and cover were made for each other. I will share some tips, advice, comments here: * Don't be afraid to reach out to your sales/design rep as often as you want/need in the process of questions, designing, and ordering your kit. This is a serious capital improvement to your house. That's what they are there for and what they get paid for. They were very helpful. I had some missing pieces and wrong pieces and we were able to get that straightened out in about a week. I was persistent in my calls/contacts as I had an install/erection date with a crew and needed everything on site at that time. * If you are going to be installing it yourself, do yourself a big favor. Don't try to do it all in one day. Even with a big crew, there are a lot of things that need to get done all at the same time. Rushing will only produce mistakes and you will not be happy with the result. In my case, I spent a week pre-cutting and drilling holes in all of the parts and laying them out in stages in my back yard. This made everything go up fast and smooth. I did all my electric work at the house and installing my LED lights in the pans with the wring and boxes. All I had to do was connect the wires together on the top. * Measure 6 times and cut only once. You don't have any extra parts or pieces. If you cut too short, you are at a standstill till you get a replacement. That could take 1-2 weeks. Lay pieces out and up against the house to get a true visualization, especially regarding orientation (front/back, left/right, up/down). Make sure all your seams are pointed in the right direction before cutting or drilling holes (learned the hard way on that matter...) * The instruction manual has every possible way that you might be doing your install. Print it out in color and get rid of any page that does not pertain to your build. This will simplify everything. If you are installing LED lights, make sure you buy a 4" hole saw. Don't try cutting it by hand with snips. You will jack up your pan. I used rubber grommets in the hole of the pan cap to keep from cutting up the wire. Check that the pan/bay of lights work before moving on to your next pan during the install. For my cover, i put in 6 LED lights. Each light is 600 lumens, for a total of 3600 lumens. It is the right amount of light for that area. I installed a dimmer switch to the control on the inside of the house. These were dimmable LED's. Also, with regard to planning your lights layout, go to this page to get help with layout design and measurements: https://blog.recessedlighting.com/recessed-lighting-calculator/ * Physically look at every piece and get a hard count and compare it to your instructions, the parts list that you were sent on the front end, and your delivery parts checkoff sheet. Don't wait till install day to find out you are missing something. * The kit is adequate, but I wanted excellence. So I bought an additional package of 100 1/2" sheet metal screws. I also beefed up my post bases. I added an additional redhead concrete anchor in the center of each base. I also added some additional aluminum to the front and back of the T so that I could bet a beefier connection. I used 1 1/2" "L" aluminum on the inside of the base. just tape it together to hold it in place. Use the 1 1/2 TEK screws to screw the post to the base. * I bought 2 additional tubes of white caulking and a coupe tubes of colored caulking. Any screw exposed to the elements (with exception of colored screw on the bottom connecting pan to hanger channel) got a nice blob of caulk. I also caulked the back/top/bottom of the hanger channel. I came back and painted the line against the house where the caulk meets the stucco. * I added a 3" strip of heavy duty flashing tape where the flashing lip meets the stucco and a generous amount of caulk underneath the flashing where it meets the hanger channel. It has a nice clean look and will not leak. * The 5/8" colored hole plugs are not a tight fit and can come out. Just take a screw driver and bend out the plastic tabs and it will hold. * You need a good 7 1/2" aluminum cutting blade for your circular saw and a 4" aluminum cutting blade for your grinder in order to make all your different cuts. Make sure your metal is secure before you start cutting. if it moves, you will have a bad cut. Saw horses are a must. Wipe off the shards of metal carefully after your cuts. It will scratch your paint. * There are tons of videos on installing all brands of aluminum and Alumawood patio covers. Watch them all several times before you start this project. I might just post my own on YouTube. I plan to replace an existing gazebo next summer with a stand alone patio cover that matches the one I just installed.

    Horrible company. I ordered a patio cover from them and almost the entire order came damaged. Deep scratches down to the metal, and dents. Their response? Just use some touch-up paint. Why would I spend $4K for a kit that is supposed to be factory painted and maintenance free just to apply touch-up paint because they cant deliver a quality product. After hours of taking pictures and sending emails I finally got them to replace the entire kit. Great! Not! The replacement pieces were also damaged and they are refusing to replace them. Their response? Just use touch-up paint. Save yourself some time and go with another company who is competent.

After a previous negative experience with patio contractors, we were very cautious about choosing the right company. Superior Patios exceeded our expectations in every way. Miguel demonstrated outstanding professionalism, strong business ethics, and complete transparency throughout the entire process. Even when unexpected challenges arose, he always had solutions ready and maintained excellent communication. He promptly returned calls and messages--even on weekends--and was consistently receptive to our questions. Honesty and transparency are very important to us, and Miguel delivered both. His communication and professionalism were truly exceptional. I also want to recognize his team for their hard work and attention to detail.

However, the way this company has handled a clear mistake is extremely disappointing. During installation, their team drilled into the tile on our second-floor balcony and failed to seal the holes. When it rained shortly after, water came through those openings and caused damage to the ceiling in our dining room below. This was entirely preventable and directly tied to the installation. What's more concerning is what happened next. I've spent weeks trying to get this resolved. I've been in contact with their employee (Elizabeth), who acknowledged the issue and repeatedly said it would be taken care of. Despite those assurances, there has been zero follow-through. Communication has been inconsistent at best, and more recently I've been completely ignored. At this point, the issue is no longer just the damage; it's the lack of accountability. Mistakes happen. Ignoring a customer after causing property damage is a much bigger problem. If you're considering this company, just be aware: the install may go well, but if something goes wrong, you may be on your own. I'm still hoping they step up and resolve this properly, but based on my experience so far, I would proceed with caution.
