Add Shade to Your Outdoor Space

Patio cover design and installation Valleywide built to extend usable outdoor living space year-round.

If your backyard in Chandler and surrounding areas is too hot to use during the day, a patio cover can create a shaded area that stays cooler and more comfortable. Arizona sun exposure makes uncovered patios unusable for much of the year, and furniture, grills, and outdoor seating deteriorate quickly without protection. 


TrueNorth Home Solutions, LLC designs and installs patio covers in Chandler and surrounding areas that reduce heat, block UV rays, and make outdoor spaces functional again.

The service includes patio cover design and installation with materials built to withstand sun exposure, heat, and occasional windstorms. You may choose aluminum, wood, or insulated panels depending on your budget and shade preferences. The structure is anchored to your home or freestanding posts, and dimensions are customized to fit your patio layout and the areas you want to protect.

How Patio Covers Are Built and Installed

Patio cover installation in Chandler and surrounding areas begins with measuring your outdoor space and confirming where posts or ledger boards will be placed. The design accounts for roof pitch, drainage, and attachment points to your home or existing structures. Posts are set in concrete footings, beams are leveled and secured, and roofing panels or shingles are installed to shed water and provide shade.


Once the patio cover is complete, you will notice a significant drop in temperature under the cover, reduced glare on windows and doors, and furniture that stays cooler to the touch. The shaded area is usable earlier in the day and stays comfortable longer into the evening. Your patio furniture, grill, and outdoor equipment are protected from direct sun and last longer without fading or cracking.


Materials are chosen for their ability to handle high heat and UV exposure common in Arizona. The installation does not include electrical work, ceiling fans, or lighting unless specifically requested and priced separately. Those options are discussed during your consultation so you understand what is included.

Common Questions Before Adding a Cover

Homeowners planning a patio cover in Chandler and surrounding areas often want to know about material options, installation time, and how the structure will attach to their home. These answers help clarify what to expect before the project starts.

What materials are best for patio covers in Arizona?
Aluminum and insulated panels reflect heat and resist warping better than untreated wood. Both materials handle UV exposure without cracking and require minimal maintenance over time.
How long does it take to install a patio cover?
Most patio covers are installed in two to five days depending on size, material, and whether the structure is attached to your home or freestanding. Weather delays can extend the timeline.
Will the patio cover attach to my house?
Most patio covers are attached to your home using a ledger board bolted to the exterior wall and supported by freestanding posts on the opposite end. Freestanding designs are also available if you prefer not to attach to the house.
Do I need a permit for a patio cover?

Yes, patio covers typically require a building permit in Chandler and surounding areas. The permit ensures the structure meets local wind load and setback requirements.

Can you add lighting or ceiling fans?
Yes, electrical work for lighting or ceiling fans can be added to the project. This requires running conduit and wiring, which is priced separately and discussed during your consultation.
