Longmont Patio Cover FAQs
How do these structures handle heavy Colorado snow and wind?
Our patio covers are built with high-quality materials to the highest building standards by elite craftsmen. When attached to your home, these structures are professionally engineered to maintain stability and safety against the heavy snow and wind common in our area.
Will a metal patio cover make the area underneath feel too hot?
Standard metal roofs can radiate heat, but premium options like the R-SHADE™ use high-density, insulated foam-core panels to significantly reduce heat transfer. This technology keeps the living area much cooler during intense summer afternoons.
How much maintenance should I expect to perform?
Maintenance depends on the material selected. Azenco R-SHADE™ structures are virtually maintenance-free due to corrosion-resistant aluminum and AAMA 2604 powder-coating. Traditional wood patio covers require periodic maintenance, such as staining, to preserve their appearance and integrity.
Can you integrate a new cover with my existing deck or patio?
Yes. For metal systems like Azenco pergolas, modular versatility allows for integration with existing spaces. Custom configurations for any structure include freestanding pavilions and wall-mounted extensions that function as a natural part of the home.
What kind of customization options are available for the design?
Choose your look from a gabled or shed-style roof to support posts in sleek steel or rustic stone. Then make it yours with upgrades like built-in LED lighting, ceiling fans, an outdoor kitchen, heaters, or even a recessed fireplace.
Do I need to worry about permits and building codes?
O’Keefe Built handles the permitting and engineering, ensuring that every project aligns with local building codes.
