    Patio cover with fan installed
    Sarah T.

    Just had our shade installed yesterday and my husband and I couldn't be happier! The whole process was easy and pleasant and we couldn't have asked for nicer guys to work with! Warren did a basic quote for me over the phone based on the measurements I thought I'd want and then came out to measure, let me pick all the colors, trim shapes, and extras (fan) and give me a final price. Then he ordered that day! Materials have been tied up in weird shipping issues but he told me it would be 4-5 weeks to get them in and sure enough he was right on target. Warren called me as soon as it was in and had an install date available 2 days later! Dan and his team were on time, super thorough, and amazingly fast! Plus they were insanely kind to my kids. I cannot recommend this business enough - I've already given the number to 3 other people!

    We needed a patio cover for a newly remodeled backyard after a snafu with our project. I found this company from a flyer that they send weekly in the mail. It was the best price by far from the bids we got. One other company told me that it is the same product that is used by everyone for these aluminum patio cover kits, just some businesses have different overheads that affect the cost. That particular company had a bid that was twice as much as California Shade. We have pavers that required special footings and Warren did not price gauge for the extra work. Other companies wanted to charge $1500 extra for this, while Warren found a solution that was far more reasonable. The crew who came to do the job were efficient and handled our brand new pavers with precision and care. We loved that we could make small adjustments like requesting a flush front without tails to fit our modern look. We also had a fan installed (and wish we would have contracted for a second one!). All and all, this is an honest and extremely fair company that does great work! Thanks!

    Install day is finally here.

    This review is overdue! The work was done in June and it's been used heavily all summer long! Warren and his team are great. We had several bids and Warren was first up. He set the bar high, while not the cheapest, it was clear he knew what he was doing and was going to get the job done right. He also actively listened to our ideas and provided input along the way. We went with a tri-color option that Warren told us doesn't happen often. We felt good about taking to lighter shade of the house and letting the structure tie in to some of the darker areas of the pool. Turns out it was a great choice and I couldn't be happier with the outcome, It didn't take long to sign on the dotted line and wait for the materials to arrive. He told this was a one day installation which I thought was an aggressive target, but he assured me that's how they do it. It's a 12' x 32' awning and I really thought a 1-2 day process. I was wrong! On install day the crew showed up and got right to work. I spoke with the foreman and he was as nice as could be an really listened to our vision for this and some of the options we were adding in. We added two fans (we supplied) and wanted the electrical a particular way. The electrical guys were great and figured out how to get this done perfectly! We also wanted to run a cable (hidden in the structure) to a TV we wanted to mount under the awning. Again the guys were great and even hung the TV. They suggested it be mounted a little higher than what I had in mind. With a quick explanation of the reasoning I was all in and it looks great and the angles are perfect for viewing. It was a really really hot day at 100+, the guys still kept on it and got it all done before they left. One small bump in the road was the mess from the ceiling material we used. It was a 4" styrofoam core (for noise dampening and insulation). Unfortunately we had styrofoam snow all over our yard. The did their best to clean it all up but it was just too much to tackle. I blew into the pool over the next couple weeks and that lead to a couple filter washes and daily skimming. Not a huge hassle but worth noting. Warren said before the drought they used pressure washers but how had to rely on blowers and vacuums. Ok, enough rambling about one little bump in the road! Warren and his crew delivered big time with a structure that's beautiful, solid and has already made a huge difference in the outdoor space. Life outdoors is great! The Giants & 49ers are up on the TV regularly (with great sight lines from the pool) . It also worked out well for a couple evening Game of Thrones marathons. Thanks Warren and crew for a complete 5 star service from start to finish!!

    We highly recommend California Shade. Warren's guys did a great job with installation and communication with us. On installation day they arrived at 8 am and were done around noon. We love the space, it's 12x20 and provides ample shade. We had the patio cover prewired for a fan but the electrical work was done by another local contractor. We love being able to support Elk Grove businesses.

    Love the work they do and the price is just right. Thank you so much Warren for covers. My family loves it and can not stop talking about it.

    We had Warren come to our house and he gave us a breakdown of the cost and went over everything with us. After I talked to 4 other companies, I had additional questions and Warren came over a second time to answer everything in more detail. Some of the other companies were too busy to even come out so they gave us a quote over the phone using Warren's measurements. Warren came over to our house in person not once but twice. About 3 weeks later we got a call to schedule our installation. The two subcontracts who did the installation did a wonderful job. After the installation Warren came back out to our house for a third time to make sure everything looked good. Everyone at California Shade was extremely nice. We would definitely recommend Warren and his team. We went with a combo solid and lattice patio cover. We did brown posts and a cream color roof. A ceiling fan on the solid structure. The final product was absolutely beautiful.

    We needed a Patio Cover for our newly built home in North Natomas so we reached out to a couple of local companies for bids and got a response from Warren at California Shade. Warren came to the house and asked what we were looking to do and after asking some questions he gave us a quote that turned out to be very competitive. When we decided to go with California Shade Warren again came out to the house and confirmed the original plan and he explained the entire process. As the owner Warren is truly interested in making sure that you are comfortable with the entire plan. On installation day we met Paul and Vitaly who came to install the cover and I can say that both of these gentlemen are extremely professional and their attention to detail made for a first class installation. They did high quality work on both the Patio Cover and our Ceiling Fan and Outlet installation and when they were done it was perfect. I would highly recommend California Shade to anyone looking for a Patio Cover. Between Warren, Paul and Vitaly I knew that we had made the right choice in hiring them.

    Warren is the best option out there if you're looking for a patio cover. He is super professional, friendly, and very affordable, especially compared to most other companies. He'll show you samples of different materials and colors and also pictures of previous jobs he's done, and they all look great. His team came out and did a great job. They were on time, friendly, quick, and efficient. They installed our 12 x 20 cover and the outdoor ceiling fan in only a few hours. They did a great job of cleaning afterwards too. Warren even stopped by during the job to make sure everything was ok and followed up a few days later to check if we were satisfied. There's a reason he's rated all 5 stars on Yelp.

    Beautiful at night with the lights & fan!

    I wish I could give Warren & California Shade a higher rating than 5 stars. After a backyard & pool remodel, we had Warren come back & add two additional structures complete with lights & fan. He was able to repurpose the 10x10 that was originally attached to the house. Check out the pictures! His crew was very careful in the removal & converted it into a freestanding cover. As always, the guys are professional, clean, prompt & quick! Warren continues to beat his competitors prices. Best part is he's local!

    Warren and his team were fantastic. Warren was very helpful, easy to work with and was great at explaining the different options that were available. His install team, Paul and Martin, were just as great and completed the job in a timely manner. Paul was especially helpful with helping me make a couple of last minute decisions and even gave me helpful ideas for lighting and additional shade if I wanted it. Best of all they were reasonably priced.

    I just wanted to say that I am extremely happy with my new patio. My husband and I wanted to give our local area some business and I am so happy with Warren. His pricing was very reasonable and he is such a nice man. He made us feel very happy that we went with him. He met our expectations and exceeded them. We were told that we would get our new patio up when the material arrived in about three or four weeks, it was done even faster than that. I was also very impressed with the crew, they were very personable and they got everything up in one day. I love my new patio.

    I cannot say enough good things about Dan and his company. About five years ago, he installed a…read morepatio cover for me, and everything was great--until about a year ago when I noticed leaking underneath it. Naturally, I was concerned and reached out to him. He came out right away, took the time to thoroughly inspect everything, and explained in detail why he believed the patio cover itself was not the issue. He checked the slope, sealed areas to rule out seepage, and made sure nothing was being overlooked. A couple of months later, after speaking with several stucco contractors, I was told repeatedly that the patio cover had to be the problem. Feeling confused and overwhelmed, I reached back out to Dan and shared what others were saying. Even though he still believed the issue was coming from somewhere else--possibly the stucco or second-story windows--he didn't hesitate to come back out. This is where Dan truly went above and beyond. Despite not believing he was at fault, he took extra steps to help eliminate any doubt. He installed additional downspouts and full-length counter flashing, which required removing stucco, just to ensure that water could not possibly be getting in from the patio cover. This was not a small job. That level of integrity and customer care is incredibly rare. During the process, once everything was opened up, he was able to clearly show me that the real issue was faulty second-story windows--not the patio cover. He had been right all along. But what stood out the most was his attitude throughout the entire experience. Not once did he make me feel bad for questioning it or listening to other contractors. He remained patient, professional, and genuinely kind the entire time, even when it would have been easy to say "I told you so." At that point, I was feeling extremely overwhelmed between conflicting opinions and high quotes. Dan didn't stop at proving the issue--he continued to help. He guided me in the right direction, recommended the proper solution (including new construction windows instead of retrofit and elastomeric paint for the stucco), and connected me with trusted contacts to completely resolve my issue. Dan is the kind of person you hope to find but rarely do. Honest, knowledgeable, patient, and truly committed to helping his customers--even when he doesn't have to. He went far out of his way for me and my family. I'm incredibly grateful for his time, effort, and integrity. If you're considering working with him, don't hesitate. Not only does he do exceptional quality patio covers but he stands by his work, takes pride in what he does, and treats people the right way. I would recommend him to anyone without a second thought, truly a blessing. Thank you again Dan.

    I found West Coast Awnings here in Yelp.. and glad we chose West Coast to do our Patio cover…read moreproject. Me and my husband had a good impression on Dan when he come to do the estimate. Easy to talk with and explained well whatever concerns we brought out and quoted us reasonable price. Ina communication and updates are very helpful and along the process.. Today 3/12/26 Dan, his sons and team finished our patio cover. They did amazing job. Me and my husband are happy and we love it..
