Common questions
Planning your project.
Every outdoor space is different. These answers can help you prepare for a free in-home consultation.
What is the difference between a solid and lattice patio cover?
A solid cover provides fuller overhead shade, while a lattice cover allows more filtered light. We help you compare the balance of shade and openness during your consultation.
Can a patio cover be designed around my existing patio?
Yes. We begin with the dimensions, layout, sun exposure, and how you use your outdoor space, then plan a custom-fit solution.
Do you install patio covers across Phoenix metro?
Yes. Shade By Design serves Phoenix, Scottsdale, the East Valley, the West Valley, and surrounding core Valley communities.
