Patio covers sized for your Perris backyard
The right cover depends on which way your yard faces. We connect you with licensed installers who pull City of Perris permits and work in your community.
Free referral service. Licensed installers only.
Which way does your yard face?
West-facing
The hardest case. Late sun comes in low under the cover's edge. Go deeper, and consider a side shade screen.
South-facing
Sun all day, mostly high overhead. A full-depth solid or insulated cover works well.
East-facing
Morning sun, afternoon shade from the house. A moderate cover, or even lattice, is often enough.
North-facing
The house shades the patio for much of the day. Smaller covers and lattice are common here.
Materials
Insulated aluminum keeps the space coolest and makes wiring fans and lights easy. Solid aluminum gives full shade for less. Lattice filters light and suits east- and north-facing yards. Most HOAs in new communities pre-approve standard aluminum colors.
Permits
Patio covers are structures, so they need a building permit from the City of Perris. A licensed installer should pull it and provide engineering for footings and wind and seismic loads.
Planning with pavers
If you're extending the patio with pavers, plan the cover at the same time so post footings go in before or with the paving.

Common questions
Do I need a permit for a patio cover in Perris?
Yes, in most cases. Patio covers need a building permit from the City of Perris. Your installer should handle it.
How deep should my patio cover be?
It depends on orientation. West-facing yards usually need the deepest covers, often with a side screen; north-facing yards need the least.
Can I add fans and lights?
Yes. Plan the electrical before installation. It needs its own permit and a licensed electrician or a contractor licensed for the work.
Is this service free?
Yes. You never pay us. The installers we work with cover the cost of the referral.
