A Bad Patio Ruining Your Home?
Don't Risk It.
In Los Angeles, a "cheap" patio cover often means unpermitted work that the city can force you to tear down, or poor flashing that rots your home's eaves. We bridge the gap between a quick fix and a lifetime investment.
The "Cheap" Reality
Unpermitted Work (LADBS)
If you build without a permit, the city can red-tag your home, forcing you to tear it down when you try to sell. It's a liability, not an asset.
Rot & Sun Fading
Standard wood requires yearly painting to survive the LA sun. Without it, you get dry rot, peeling paint, and termite infestations within 3 years.
Leaks & Water Damage
Improper flashing attachment to your existing roof is the #1 cause of water damage inside the home walls. Cheap installs compromise your home's envelope.
Durability & Style
100% Permitted Process
We handle drafting, engineering, and city inspections. Your structure will be fully legal, increasing your property value and giving you total peace of mind.
Lifetime Materials
We use high-grade Alumawood and Vinyl that looks like wood but never rots, peels, or gets eaten by termites. Zero maintenance required.
Heat-Deflecting Roofs
Our insulated patio covers can lower the temperature beneath by up to 15 degrees, making your backyard usable even in the peak of summer.

Your Backyard, Reimagined
In Los Angeles, the patio is an extension of the living room. However, building a lasting structure requires navigating strict LADBS fire codes and choosing materials that can withstand years of intense UV exposure. We bridge the gap between design dreams and structural reality.
Heat Control
Our insulated patio covers reduce ambient temperatures by up to 15 degrees, making your outdoor space usable year-round.
Eco-Friendly Materials
We install Alumawood and high-grade Vinyl that are 100% recyclable, termite-proof, and never require toxic painting or staining.
Smart Integration
We seamlessly integrate LED lighting, ceiling fans, and outdoor heaters into the patio structure, hiding all wiring for a clean look.
Lifetime Durability
Unlike traditional wood that rots, our modern aluminum and vinyl covers are engineered to resist peeling, cracking, and fading.
The GAGA Permit Guarantee
Building without a permit is a liability. We handle the entire legal process for you.

Santa MonicaPatio Cover FAQ
Everything you need to know about permits, materials, and beating the LA heat with a custom patio structure.
Does my patio cover require a permit from LADBS?
In almost all cases in Los Angeles County, **yes**. Whether it is an attached solid cover or a freestanding pergola, structures over a certain square footage require city approval to ensure seismic safety and fire compliance. We handle the drafting, engineering, and submission process with the Department of Building and Safety so you don't have to worry about code violations.
Should I choose Wood, Vinyl, or Aluminum for LA weather?
While wood offers a classic rustic look, it requires yearly painting and staining to survive the intense LA sun and dry rot. **Aluminum (Alumawood) and High-Grade Vinyl** are currently the most popular choices for local homeowners because they are virtually maintenance-free, termite-resistant, and won't peel, crack, or fade under UV exposure.
Will a solid patio cover make my house too hot or dark?
Not if installed correctly. We recommend **Insulated Patio Covers** for maximum heat reduction; the foam core roof panels can lower the temperature beneath by 10-15 degrees. If you are worried about natural light inside your home, we can install a "Lattice" (Pergola) style that filters light, or integrate skylights into a solid roof to keep your interiors bright.
Can you build a patio cover if I don't have an existing slab?
Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, we don't just do the roof. We can pour a new concrete foundation, install pavers, or build a custom wood deck to serve as the base for your new cover. We ensure the footings for the patio cover are tied correctly into the new foundation for structural stability.
