10 Things to Consider when Planning for a New Patio Cover at your Home or Business!

Budgeting for an outdoor patio cover can be a bit tricky, as there are a variety of factors that can affect the cost. Here are a few important things to consider when budgeting for an outdoor patio cover:


1. Size and Materials: The size of the patio cover and the materials used to construct it will have a big impact on the cost. Larger patio covers or those made from more expensive materials will cost more.

 

2. Customization: If you want a patio cover that is customized to your specific needs or preferences, it will likely cost more than a standard, pre-made cover 

 

3. Installation: The cost of installation will vary depending on the complexity of the project and the experience of the contractor. Make sure to use a builder that has years of experience in the space like Crown Patio Covers in the Portland, Oregon area.

4) Permits and Inspections: Depending on where you live, you may need to obtain permits or have inspections done for your patio cover. These costs will vary depending on your local regulations. Ask one of the design consultants at Crown Patio Covers to help you out.

5) Maintenance: Keep in mind that a typical patio cover will require regular maintenance, such as cleaning and painting, to keep it looking its best. These costs should be factored into your budget. That’s why Crown Patio Covers uses ACRYLITE acrylic panels for the roofing material and aluminum metal framing that has been powder coated to protect from the elements and requires little maintenance. 

6) Quality vs Price: It is important to keep in mind that the cheapest option may not always be the best one. Quality of materials and construction will ensure that your patio cover lasts longer and requires less maintenance in the long run. Crown Patio Covers can provide you with the information you need to make the best choice for you. 

7) Warranty: Always ask for a warranty on the materials and installation of the patio cover, this will give you peace of mind and the assurance that any issues will be covered. That’s why Crown Patio Covers offers a warranty on our work and the materials we use. At the end of the day we want you to be happy!

8) Professional Help: Consider hiring a professional to design and install your patio cover. This will ensure that it is done correctly and to your satisfaction, but it will come at a higher cost. Sometimes people want to do DIY projects but you have to remember time is money and is that the most effective use of your time? Let the professionals at Crown Patio Covers be your solution!

9) Future Plans: Consider any future plans you may have for your property, such as adding a pool or expanding your outdoor living area, as this can affect the type of patio cover you choose and the cost. 

10) Do Your Homework: It is important to understand the difference between wood structures & acrylic patio covers. We recommend getting quotes and comparing prices, materials, and warranties. The reputation of different companies and contractors is important to consider when you choose your patio cover.

In conclusion, there is a number of important things to consider when budgeting for a Patio Cover. Here in the Portland Metro area, we help customers navigate the process making it a great experience from start to finish.
