    insulated patio cover
    Chris M.

    PKD start to finish had overall good experience. The 3D design was a nice touch and sold me when I was browsing to buy a large aluminum patio cover since my last wood patio cover was decimated with termites. The sales was as expected and got me a really good price over Columbus Day sale. The delivery was on time and in my backyard which was nice. All the parts I verified were delivered. The customer service help when I was building it was really good. Always there when I called and never in a hurry. The actual kit I got was insulated patio cover( 14' x 36' ) which was about a 1/3 more than the non- insulated but you get what you pay for. Especially when able to walk on the roof and nicer finish. The only gripe I have is with the directions for install are very plain and basic and not always apply to the insulated cover, the company should have done a better job with that and If I had no prior mechanical and tool experience it would have set me back big time. They should have made a video on how to install it would have saved me time and mistakes I made along the way. Overall pretty happy with the finished product and family and friends like it too.

    Our home is west facing and during the entire year it was hard to enjoy the backyard because of the sun until we got our patio cover installed! Now we are out there all the time. We love the quality and the service from the team was top notch. Can't recommend this company more!

    Lights orientation

    I just installed an 18' X 11' non-insulated solid top. White pans and Spanish Brown posts/wrap/beams/plates. It is attached to my house on 2 sides (L-shaped). It looks fantastic and like the house and cover were made for each other. I will share some tips, advice, comments here: * Don't be afraid to reach out to your sales/design rep as often as you want/need in the process of questions, designing, and ordering your kit. This is a serious capital improvement to your house. That's what they are there for and what they get paid for. They were very helpful. I had some missing pieces and wrong pieces and we were able to get that straightened out in about a week. I was persistent in my calls/contacts as I had an install/erection date with a crew and needed everything on site at that time. * If you are going to be installing it yourself, do yourself a big favor. Don't try to do it all in one day. Even with a big crew, there are a lot of things that need to get done all at the same time. Rushing will only produce mistakes and you will not be happy with the result. In my case, I spent a week pre-cutting and drilling holes in all of the parts and laying them out in stages in my back yard. This made everything go up fast and smooth. I did all my electric work at the house and installing my LED lights in the pans with the wring and boxes. All I had to do was connect the wires together on the top. * Measure 6 times and cut only once. You don't have any extra parts or pieces. If you cut too short, you are at a standstill till you get a replacement. That could take 1-2 weeks. Lay pieces out and up against the house to get a true visualization, especially regarding orientation (front/back, left/right, up/down). Make sure all your seams are pointed in the right direction before cutting or drilling holes (learned the hard way on that matter...) * The instruction manual has every possible way that you might be doing your install. Print it out in color and get rid of any page that does not pertain to your build. This will simplify everything. If you are installing LED lights, make sure you buy a 4" hole saw. Don't try cutting it by hand with snips. You will jack up your pan. I used rubber grommets in the hole of the pan cap to keep from cutting up the wire. Check that the pan/bay of lights work before moving on to your next pan during the install. For my cover, i put in 6 LED lights. Each light is 600 lumens, for a total of 3600 lumens. It is the right amount of light for that area. I installed a dimmer switch to the control on the inside of the house. These were dimmable LED's. Also, with regard to planning your lights layout, go to this page to get help with layout design and measurements: https://blog.recessedlighting.com/recessed-lighting-calculator/ * Physically look at every piece and get a hard count and compare it to your instructions, the parts list that you were sent on the front end, and your delivery parts checkoff sheet. Don't wait till install day to find out you are missing something. * The kit is adequate, but I wanted excellence. So I bought an additional package of 100 1/2" sheet metal screws. I also beefed up my post bases. I added an additional redhead concrete anchor in the center of each base. I also added some additional aluminum to the front and back of the T so that I could bet a beefier connection. I used 1 1/2" "L" aluminum on the inside of the base. just tape it together to hold it in place. Use the 1 1/2 TEK screws to screw the post to the base. * I bought 2 additional tubes of white caulking and a coupe tubes of colored caulking. Any screw exposed to the elements (with exception of colored screw on the bottom connecting pan to hanger channel) got a nice blob of caulk. I also caulked the back/top/bottom of the hanger channel. I came back and painted the line against the house where the caulk meets the stucco. * I added a 3" strip of heavy duty flashing tape where the flashing lip meets the stucco and a generous amount of caulk underneath the flashing where it meets the hanger channel. It has a nice clean look and will not leak. * The 5/8" colored hole plugs are not a tight fit and can come out. Just take a screw driver and bend out the plastic tabs and it will hold. * You need a good 7 1/2" aluminum cutting blade for your circular saw and a 4" aluminum cutting blade for your grinder in order to make all your different cuts. Make sure your metal is secure before you start cutting. if it moves, you will have a bad cut. Saw horses are a must. Wipe off the shards of metal carefully after your cuts. It will scratch your paint. * There are tons of videos on installing all brands of aluminum and Alumawood patio covers. Watch them all several times before you start this project. I might just post my own on YouTube. I plan to replace an existing gazebo next summer with a stand alone patio cover that matches the one I just installed.

    After meeting with Adam and several other contractors, I decided to go with Patio Guy not only…read morebecause of his five-star rating, but several other factors that were important to me (and probably you as well): 1) He could deliver and install my new cover within a week vs. the other guys taking months; 2) I wasn't limited to just the AlumaWood product (which wasn't modern enough for me), and (3) his price to install with an upgraded cover (insulated) was far below his competitors constrained by higher overhead and slower delivery times. I ended up selecting a Duralum cover that his company also offers, and I'm glad I did. It's just the look I was going for. I was also impressed with Adam's business model, which is built on quality and efficiency at a very reasonable price without cutting corners or sacrificing customer service. Now for the best part: A guy named Brody, his lead installer. In addition to being a super nice guy, his work is meticulous. The back of my home isn't linear, so there are bump-outs and protrusions, making the installation more difficult and time consuming. This wasn't the slightest challenge for Brody and his team. The finished product is snuggled tightly against my stucco and professionally sealed on the roof to prevent any water dripping through when it rains. I watched him work, measuring and cutting the aluminum to match my home so the fit and finish is far greater than I imagined. As you can tell from the photos, I still have work to do (concrete coating, fence repairs, etc.) to match the beauty of my new cover.

Adam came down next day for a detailed quote and Brody and team build new patio up in less than two days a couple weeks later. Would have been one day but they had to remove my old leaking patio otherwise it would have been one day job. 40 ft × 11 ft are dimensions for new patio which adds significant amount of usable patio space for us. Only regret is that I didn't do this years ago. Price, professionalism, communication, demo, build and clean up were all amazing. Highly recommended and would absolutely use again.

I chose a gorgeous Terra Cotta color and after 6 weeks I had a shade for my front and back patio doors. What a difference! I wish I had thought about an awning a few years ago.

Such an easy company to work with, and the awnings deserve awards for quality and beauty! (My front door thanks you).

    I'm writing this after giving Mario multiple chances over several projects. We've hired him two…read moretimes for three patios now -- and every single job has had the same pattern: great communication at the start, quick to collect payment, and then a slow and frustrating decline in responsiveness and reliability. First and Second Patios (2023-2024) Mario initially quoted well and seemed easy to work with. But both projects ran behind schedule. He measured wrong on the first patio cover, used visible conduit without asking, and talked us out of gutters that later caused drainage issues. On the second patio, even after giving him a two-month lead time before a big event at our house, the job was only half finished when guests arrived. He did eventually complete them, but only after multiple calls, texts, and follow-ups. Third Patio (2025) This one has been a nightmare. We paid him a deposit in early June 2025 for what was supposed to be a simple project. From there, it was endless chasing -- days, then weeks, of messages like "tomorrow," "let you know soon," and "2 or 3 days." He stopped taking calls, ignored texts, and pushed the project off repeatedly. When he finally resurfaced, he said he couldn't get the material and the price had suddenly doubled from $4,000 to $8,000 without explanation. When we refused and asked for a refund, he promised to return the deposit in 30 business days -- that deadline passed long ago. Still no refund, only excuses about being "stuck with material" or "waiting on the company." Mario is personable and friendly at first, but once he has your money, everything slows down. His pricing looks attractive, but the delays, errors, and lack of accountability make it costly in the end. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt -- three times -- but after this last experience, I can't recommend MG Awning Services to anyone. I know people reading this will ask then why did you go back to him and as I stated, we wanted to give him a chance and he was very convincing that the issues wouldn't repeat themselves. My goal was to get him to come in and also correct the issues w/ the existing patios that we have noticed but nothing. His address here says San Jacinto but his invoices states that he is in Stanton California. Mario, if you're reading this -- please do the right thing and return our payment.

This process has taken 8 months and we still only have 1 out of 3 patio covers completed.

During the recent windstorm we forgot to retract the awning and it was damaged. I first called the original installer, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The first thing they told us was that the damage wouldn't be covered because we didn't retract it during the wind storm, and the customer service was extremely rude. It also reminded me how difficult it was working with them in the first place, they gave us the runaround for almost 6 months before the original installation. After that, I reached out to Where Shade Is Made, and the difference was night and day. I spoke directly with the owner, who assured me I would get a call Monday morning to schedule the repair. Sure enough, Monday morning I received a call from Jimmy their GM, and from that point on everything was smooth and professional. By the very next day our shade was repaired and working perfectly again. Even better, Jimmy let us know that the repair didn't require as much work as originally expected, which actually made the final cost lower than the quote. That kind of honesty and customer service is rare these days. Thank you Where Shade Is Made for the amazing service. I truly appreciate the professionalism and quick turnaround. I would absolutely recommend them to all my friends and family.
