What Is an Attached Alumawood Patio Cover?
An attached Alumawood patio cover is a permanent shade structure, built from high-grade, wood-textured aluminum, that connects directly to the fascia or wall of your home. This design creates a seamless and structurally sound extension of your indoor living area into the outdoors. Unlike freestanding structures, an attached cover feels like a natural part of your home, providing convenient access and a cohesive aesthetic. It leverages your home for support, which often means a cleaner look with fewer posts and a more budget-friendly installation. Royal Covers specializes in these integrated designs, ensuring your attached patio cover perfectly complements your home’s architecture while delivering the robust performance needed to withstand the harsh Phoenix climate for decades.
Why Should You Choose an Attached Patio Cover in Phoenix?
An attached patio cover is the superior choice for most Phoenix homes because it offers a structurally integrated, space-efficient, and cost-effective way to expand your living space while gaining essential protection from the desert elements. By attaching directly to your home, the structure gains significant stability and requires fewer support posts, creating a more open and usable outdoor area. This design not only provides a seamless transition from your indoor space but also delivers specific advantages for the demanding Phoenix climate.

What Are the Advantages of the Alumawood Material?
The Alumawood material provides superior durability and longevity with minimal upkeep, making it the ideal choice for Phoenix. Its heavy-gauge aluminum is embossed with a rich wood texture, delivering the beauty of wood without any of the drawbacks. Alumawood will not crack, peel, warp, burn, or rot, and it is completely immune to termites—a critical feature in Arizona. Every cover is finished with the advanced Aluma-Shield paint system with Teflon, which resists chalking, fading, and corrosion, ensuring your patio cover looks new for years. This combination of strength and beauty comes with a limited lifetime guarantee, offering you peace of mind and a fantastic return on your investment.
What Attached Patio Cover Styles Are Available?
Royal Covers offers two primary styles for attached Alumawood patio covers—solid and lattice—each designed to meet different functional needs and aesthetic preferences for your Phoenix home. Both styles are fully customizable to match your home’s look and are built with the same high-performance, maintenance-free Alumawood material.
Solid Style Covers
A solid attached patio cover provides complete protection from the sun and rain. Its insulated, heat-reflecting roof panels create a 100% shaded area, keeping your patio significantly cooler during the intense summer months. This style is the ideal choice for spaces that require full shelter, such as over a back door, an outdoor kitchen, or a poolside lounging area. Solid covers are also engineered to accommodate electrical wiring for ceiling fans, lights, and TV mounts, allowing you to create a fully functional outdoor room.
Lattice Style Covers (Pergolas)
An attached lattice-style cover, also known as a pergola, offers a beautiful balance of sun and shade. The precisely angled lattice tubes are typically oriented north-to-south to provide up to 60% shade at high noon while allowing filtered sunlight to create a bright, airy ambiance. By 3:00 p.m., as the sun gets lower, the shade becomes solid. This style is perfect for homeowners who want to reduce direct sun exposure without completely blocking out natural light. The open design allows leaves and debris to pass through, making it virtually maintenance-free.
What Custom Design Options Can Be Added?
Your attached patio cover should be a perfect reflection of your style and needs. At Royal Covers, we offer a wide range of custom design options to ensure your new shade structure is both beautiful and functional. Our design consultants work with you to integrate features that enhance your outdoor living experience. Customizations include, but are not limited to, different color combinations to match your home’s exterior, the integration of ceiling fans for a cooling breeze, the installation of elegant lighting fixtures for evening ambiance, and the convenience of TV mounts and electrical outlets. We can also incorporate custom-fit solutions that work around your home’s unique architectural features, such as rain gutters and fascia boards.
What Is the Installation Process and Timeline?
Our professional installation process is designed to be seamless, efficient, and respectful of your time and property. It begins with a free, no-obligation design consultation where we listen to your needs and assess your space. We then create a detailed, custom design complete with layout pictures, so you know exactly what to expect. Once you approve the plan, we handle all necessary permits and provide assistance with HOA paperwork. Because Royal Covers designs, fabricates, and installs our own products, we maintain full control over quality and scheduling. Our experienced, in-house installation teams are known for their professionalism and attention to detail, and most attached patio cover installations are completed in just one day. We guarantee a clean work site and a final walkthrough to ensure your complete satisfaction.

How Do Attached Patio Covers Affect Home Value?
An attached Alumawood patio cover is a smart financial investment that significantly boosts your home’s value and curb appeal. Real estate data shows that a quality patio cover can deliver a return on investment (ROI) of 60-80%. For example, a modest investment can add thousands to your property’s resale value by creating a highly desirable, functional outdoor living area. In the competitive Phoenix market, a comfortable and protected outdoor space is a major selling point that appeals to buyers seeking to enjoy the Arizona lifestyle year-round. Furthermore, by protecting your outdoor furniture and reducing heat gain into your home, an attached patio cover provides ongoing savings and value.

How Do Attached Patio Covers Perform in Phoenix’s Extreme Climate?
Phoenix presents one of the most challenging climates in the nation for outdoor structures, with over 111 days annually where temperatures exceed 100°F, extreme UV exposure, and powerful monsoon storms. An attached Alumawood patio cover from Royal Covers is specifically engineered to thrive in these conditions. The aluminum construction does not warp, crack, or degrade under intense heat, and the advanced Aluma-Shield paint system resists fading and corrosion from constant sun exposure. During monsoon season, which runs from June 15 to September 30, our covers are designed to withstand wind gusts exceeding 70 mph and heavy rains. The solid-style covers feature heat-reflecting roof panels that help keep your patio cooler and reduce the amount of heat radiating into your home, contributing to lower energy bills. The lattice-style covers allow air circulation while providing substantial shade, making your outdoor space comfortable even during the hottest months.

Frequently Asked Questions About Attached Alumawood Covers
What is the difference between an attached and a freestanding patio cover?
An attached patio cover connects directly to your house, acting as a natural extension of your home. This design typically requires fewer posts and is more budget-friendly. A freestanding cover is a separate, independent structure that can be placed anywhere in your yard.
How long does the installation of an attached patio cover take?
Most of our attached Alumawood patio cover installations are completed in a single day. Our experienced, in-house crews work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home and life.
Do I need a permit for an attached patio cover in Phoenix?
Yes, in most cases, a permit is required for a new patio cover in the Phoenix area. Royal Covers handles the entire permitting process for you, ensuring your structure is built to code and passes all inspections.
Can you help with getting approval from my HOA?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience working with HOAs across the Phoenix metro area and will provide the necessary drawings and documents to help facilitate a smooth approval process.
How do I choose between a solid and a lattice style cover?
Choose a solid cover if you want 100% shade and protection from rain, which is ideal for outdoor kitchens or main entertainment areas. Choose a lattice cover if you prefer filtered sunlight and a more open, airy feel while still getting significant shade.
Can I add a ceiling fan or lights to my attached patio cover?
Yes. Both our solid and lattice style covers can be engineered to safely support ceiling fans, lighting fixtures, TV mounts, and electrical outlets. We can integrate these features into your custom design.
How much maintenance does an Alumawood patio cover require?
Alumawood patio covers are virtually maintenance-free. The durable, factory-finished surface will not rust, rot, crack, or peel, and it never needs to be repainted. An occasional cleaning with soap and water is all that is needed to keep it looking new.
How well do attached Alumawood covers hold up in Phoenix monsoons?
Our attached Alumawood patio covers are engineered to withstand the harsh Phoenix climate, including monsoon winds exceeding 70 mph.
