Expert Advice for Your New Patio Cover
Budgeting for a New Patio Cover
Crown Patio Covers, Portland's leading provider of high-quality patio covers, has released a comprehensive guide to help homeowners budget for a new patio cover effectively. The guide is designed to simplify the decision-making process for consumers and provide practical tips on choosing the right patio cover within their budget.
1) Size Matters (and so does material!):
The dimensions and materials of your patio cover will greatly affect its cost. Bigger covers and premium materials will naturally come with a higher price tag.
2) Make it Yours:
Custom-designed patio covers tailored to your unique needs will cost more than standard, off-the-shelf options. Pinterest has some great inspiration on this Board
3) Expert Installation:
The price of installation can vary depending on the project's complexity and the contractor's expertise. Choose a reputable builder like Crown Patio Covers, with years of experience in the Portland, Oregon area.
4) Paperwork and Red Tape:
Depending on your location, permits and inspections could be required for your patio cover, adding to the overall cost. Crown Patio Covers' design consultants can help you navigate these requirements.
5) Keeping it Fresh:
Don't forget to budget for regular maintenance, such as cleaning and painting, to keep your patio cover looking great. Crown Patio Covers recommends ACRYLITE acrylic panels and powder-coated aluminum framing for a low-maintenance solution.
6) Going for Quality:
Remember that the cheapest option might not be the wisest choice. High-quality materials and construction will ensure a longer-lasting, lower-maintenance patio cover. Crown Patio Covers can help you make the right decision.
7) Warranty Wonders:
Always ask for a warranty on materials and installation, giving you peace of mind and coverage for any issues. Crown Patio Covers offers a warranty on both workmanship and materials, ensuring your satisfaction.
8) Professional Touch:
Hiring a professional to design and install your patio cover guarantees a job well done, but may come at a higher cost. Weigh the benefits of a DIY project against the value of your time and choose the experts at Crown Patio Covers for a stress-free experience!
9) Future-Proofing:
Consider any plans for your property, such as adding a pool or expanding your outdoor living space, as these factors may influence your patio cover choice and cost.
10) Knowledge is Power:
Understand the differences between wood structures and acrylic patio covers, and research quotes, materials, and warranties. Investigate the reputation of various companies and contractors before making your final decision on a patio cover.
