What are gable roof Alumawood patio covers?

Gable roof Alumawood patio covers are pitched-roof shade structures featuring two sloping sides that meet at a central peak, constructed from aluminum with a wood-grain finish. This A-frame design mimics the traditional roofline of a house, creating a more open, airy, and architecturally integrated outdoor living space. Unlike flat panel covers, the vaulted ceiling of a gable design provides a sense of spaciousness while delivering significant functional benefits for the Phoenix climate. The core material, Alumawood, offers the aesthetic of natural wood without the associated maintenance, such as painting, staining, or worrying about rot and termites. These structures are built with heavy-gauge aluminum posts, beams, and rafters, all engineered to provide a durable, long-lasting shade solution. Royal Covers offers gable roof designs in both solid and lattice styles, allowing for complete customization of your desired shade and protection levels.

Why choose gable roofs for Phoenix patios?

Gable roofs excel in Phoenix because the pitched design provides superior monsoon drainage, enhanced ventilation during extreme heat, and better wind resistance for desert storms. The unique challenges of the Arizona climate demand more than just basic shade; they require engineered solutions that can handle intense sun, torrential rain, and high winds. A gable roof patio cover is specifically designed to meet these demands, making it a functionally and aesthetically superior choice for any Phoenix home.

Four key advantages make gable roofs the ideal choice for the Phoenix climate:

  1. Superior Monsoon Drainage: During monsoon season, sudden, heavy downpours can overwhelm flat or low-slope patio covers, leading to pooling, leaks, and structural strain. The angled design of a gable roof effectively channels rainwater away from your home’s foundation, preventing water damage and ensuring the longevity of your patio structure. This rapid drainage is essential for managing the intense bursts of rain common in Phoenix summers.

  2. Enhanced Ventilation and Cooling: The vaulted ceiling of a gable roof creates a natural convection cycle. Hot air, which naturally rises, can escape through the open ends of the gable, promoting continuous airflow. This passive cooling effect makes the space underneath significantly more comfortable than a flat cover, which can trap heat. In a climate where temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, this enhanced ventilation provides a more enjoyable and usable outdoor living area.

  3. Engineered Wind Resistance: Phoenix is no stranger to powerful winds, especially during monsoon storms. Gable roof patio covers are engineered to meet or exceed Phoenix’s 115 mph wind load requirements. The aerodynamic A-frame shape helps to deflect wind, reducing the stress on the structure and ensuring its stability during severe weather events. This robust construction provides peace of mind that your investment is secure.

  4. Architectural and Aesthetic Appeal: Beyond its functional benefits, a gable roof adds a timeless architectural element to your home. The high, pitched roofline creates a sense of spaciousness and elegance, making your patio feel like a true outdoor room rather than a simple covered slab. This design seamlessly integrates with a wide variety of home styles and can significantly enhance your property’s curb appeal and resale value.

What Alumawood features make it ideal for gable roofs?

Alumawood features heavy-gauge aluminum construction, embossed wood-grain texture, and the Aluma-Shield paint system with TEFLON® surface protector, making it ideal for gable roof structures in Arizona’s harsh climate. The material’s unique combination of strength, low weight, and durability allows for the creation of long-lasting, architecturally beautiful gable roofs that require virtually no maintenance. Unlike traditional wood, Alumawood will not rot, warp, crack, or peel when exposed to the extreme sun and temperature swings of Phoenix. It is also termite-proof and non-combustible, providing additional safety and peace of mind. The Aluma-Shield paint finish is engineered to resist chalking and fading, ensuring your patio cover retains its color and beauty for years, all backed by a limited lifetime guarantee.

What gable roof patio cover styles does Royal Covers offer?

Royal Covers offers gable roof patio covers in two primary styles: lattice pergola designs providing filtered shade and solid covers delivering full sun and rain protection. This allows you to choose the perfect balance of shade, protection, and style to meet your specific needs. Whether you are creating a breezy, sun-dappled retreat or a fully shaded outdoor room, we have a gable roof solution for your Phoenix home.

Gable Lattice (Pergola Style)

A gable lattice patio cover combines the open, airy feel of a traditional pergola with the architectural beauty of a pitched roof. The open-beam construction with lattice strips on top provides partial shade, making it an excellent choice for areas where you want to enjoy natural light without full sun exposure. We orient the lattice tubes to run north-to-south, which maximizes shade during the hottest parts of the day, providing approximately 60% shade at high noon and solid shade by 3:00 PM. This style is ideal for defining outdoor dining spaces, covering a poolside lounge area, or adding a decorative architectural element to your backyard.

Gable Solid Covers

For those seeking complete protection from the elements, a solid gable roof patio cover is the perfect solution. This style features insulated, heat-reflecting roof panels that block 100% of the sun’s rays and provide total protection from rain. A solid cover transforms your patio into a true outdoor room that can be enjoyed year-round, regardless of the weather. The solid construction also allows for the integration of features such as ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and electrical outlets, adding comfort and functionality to your space. This style is ideal for covering a primary outdoor seating area, protecting a BBQ or outdoor kitchen, or providing a shaded transition from your home’s interior.

How does gable roof installation work in Phoenix?

Gable roof installation in Phoenix involves site assessment, permit acquisition, engineered design for wind loads, professional construction, and final city inspection—a process Royal Covers manages from start to finish. Our streamlined approach ensures your project is completed efficiently and correctly, typically with the on-site build lasting only one to two days.

Our comprehensive installation process includes four main phases:

  1. Pre-Installation and Design: The process begins with a free on-site or virtual (ZOOM) consultation to discuss your vision, measure your space, and help you select the perfect style and colors. Once the design is finalized, we prepare the necessary plans for HOA and city approval.

  2. Permits and HOA Approval: Royal Covers handles all the complex paperwork for you. We submit the engineered plans to your HOA for architectural approval and to the City of Phoenix for building permits. Gable roofs require specific engineering to meet Phoenix’s 115 mph wind load and 12-foot height limit regulations, and our in-house permit coordinators ensure all requirements are met to avoid delays.

  3. Professional Installation: Once approvals are secured, our professional installation team gets to work. The process includes setting the foundation and posts, assembling the main beams and rafters to create the gable peak, installing the solid or lattice roof panels, and integrating any electrical options like fans or lights. Our crews work efficiently and maintain a clean, safe job site.

  4. Final Inspection and Completion: After the build is complete, we schedule a final inspection with the city to ensure every aspect of the structure complies with local building codes. Upon passing inspection, your new gable roof patio cover is ready for you to enjoy.

What permits and HOA approvals are required?

Phoenix requires building permits for gable roof patio covers exceeding 200 square feet, and HOA approval operates as a separate process with its own architectural review standards. Navigating these two layers of approval can be complex, but Royal Covers has over 45 years of experience managing this process for homeowners across the Valley. City permits ensure your structure is safe and meets building codes, while HOA approval ensures it meets the aesthetic standards of your community. Approval from one does not guarantee approval from the other, which is why we handle both simultaneously. Our team prepares and submits all necessary engineering drawings, plot plans, and applications to both the City of Phoenix and your HOA, ensuring a smooth and compliant process. We are a registered vendor with many Phoenix-area HOAs, which helps streamline approvals and avoid common pitfalls.

Royal Covers did a great job designing our pergolas and explaining all the options. Once it was time to install they were very communicative about the process and details. When we had a small issue arise, they were quick to problem solve and move forward. Great value for the price and they are absolutely stunning! We would definitely work with them again and refer them to anyone looking for a pergola. (Photos are during remodel and landscaping)

Well, I have to say, besides the fact that the Alumawood patio cover looks fantastic, I was also very impressed with Royal Covers overall performance. Coming from a construction background, I can appreciate a well-run company. Ryan, my salesperson was knowledgeable and patient. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner. The contract was clean and orderly, with pictures and descriptions of the product choices and options. Which, also included a layout of exactly where the patio would be located, with pictures of the actual house and yard. The contract signing and payments are all done through email, which is very convenient. Royal Covers was able to squeeze my job in earlier than expected and finished the installation very quickly. No mess left behind, just a couple of bottles of touch-up paint. It was a pleasure to work with Royal Covers.

During the process of getting shade screens for our main patio I asked Ken, our sales rep if he had any recommendations for Pergolas, he said "Royal Covers and look no further". Ken was right, we had an amazing experience throughout the entire process with Royal Covers. Even though we didn't shop around for other quotes I believe we received great value.Our finished Pergolas are spot on absolutely what we envisioned for our backyard. In particular the large Pergola produced the exact shade we desired on the outer patio and the pool. Now we can enjoy the pool in the heat of the day as there is always a shaded area you can move into as the sun moves east to west across the backyard.My sincere appreciation to Bill our sales rep for clearly communicating our options and to the 'A-Team' Preston, Caleb and Shane for 'perfection' on the installation!I highly recommend Royal Covers, save yourself some time and make them your first and last call.

Royal Covers completed two extensions to my patio today. The roof extensions were originally intended to provide additional patio shade on those hot summer days, but they completely changed the look and feel of the patio. Preston and his crew were great, work was completed as designed, on time, and error-free. He answered in detail every question I had. Genny and I are extremely pleased with the results. I highly recommend Royal Covers to everyone.

Rob HWe have a beautiful pergola in our backyard! It is so worth the wait. Raw materials are slow to enter the US and fabrication is dependent on them. Royal Covers had warned us about the delay from order to completion. But also true to their word, they installed our pergola in less than a day and within days of receiving the components from their supplier. All of that is behind us and we are finding out how much we love the pergola and how much it adds to our home. The professionals at Royal Covers made is all possible. Let them show you what's possible.

We had Royal Covers of Arizona install a pergola on the front of our home. The salesman, Larry See met with us, provided the information we needed along with photos of pergolas. When we approved Royal Covers of AZ quoted price, Larry took all the information and also provided and submitted to our HOA all the paperwork necessary for approval. Royal Covers installation was professional, their employees were exemplary in working, and cleaning up after the installation was completed several hours later. We're very pleased with the whole process and the pergola looks amazing!

We had an excellent experience with Royal Covers to install and update a barn patio on our property. Not only was the result beautiful and perfect for hosting outdoor BBQs and getting some relief from the heat, but the building process went so smoothly. They were able to work around our flood irrigation schedule, were in and out in two days, completely renovated and update the patio, cleaned and cleared everything as they went, and left the work site so clean it was like they were never there. Was a completely smooth and easy process from beginning to end. Can’t recommend their professionalism and great product enough!

From sales to install all went well and the cost was well below a similar structure we had installed a few years ago by another company. The install crew made quick work of the install despite some fairly detailed cuts that had to be made. Although the pergola is aluminum, it looks very much like wood and is sturdy. We would highly recommend Pete, Preston and team at Royal Covers.

I was completely overwhelmed by how exceptional the finished product turned out.....well beyond my expectations. Larry was the rep that came out to discuss the company, the product and to talk with me about what I wanted and needed. Preston and his crew performed the installation so well that, upon completion, my backyard was practically magazine cover-worthy. I am extremely pleased with Royal Covers and will recommend them to my friends.

After reading up on reviews for companies installing pergolas, I saw who had the best reviews and took the plunge and called Royal Covers. If I knew how cost effective and professional they were, I would have done this years ago. From the very start, every person involved was top notch. Lee provided a thorough/cost effective estimate that they stuck too (as well as providing some design ideas), and Eddie was the most thorough installer/technician I have seen in a while (almost OCD thorough, which is a good thing). Even their electrician was a perfectionist, and took the extra time to do things right even after I had some better ideas (aka changes) for power routing. They were on time, cleaned up at the end of every day, and cleaned up after the project as if they were never there. I'm calling them again this winter for a trellis over my outside bar. Thanks guys!!

I just had my patio cover built by Royal Covers and am convinced this was one of the best investments in my house. At first I tried to do a wood patio cover and looked for different type of companies and contractors to do the work: It is unbelievable the lack of professionalism and experience that you encounter out there, I just could not trust any other contractor. Royal Covers staff are all very professional and knowledgeable and have great customer service: they had an answer to everyone of my needs. They proceesed the HOA permit for me and got approval in less than a week. They also processed the permit with the city of Gilbert and received almost instant approval. They built a beautiful and elegant patio cover and setup the electric and installed the fan: all the work I needed for a very reasonable price!

Best in the business. These guys did an amazing job for me. They tackled a damaged pergola at my Dad's place that nobody else wanted to touch. They took down the old pile of junk and put a brand new, gorgeous one in its place. Then they built one for me at my place. From beginning to end, I found them professional, highly skilled, and a pleasure to work with. I'm going to call them for a third pergola at the end of the season. Quality work and some of the best contractors/workers I've ever hired. Thanks, Larry, Steve, Daniel, and Dustin.

I am a older widow living alone. The number one concern for all those single lady living alone is finding good contractors that will get a job done with good customer service and reasonable price. The finished project looks very attractive and high end. I have friends asking who built the trellis/pergola when they see my new project completed in my house. The service from initial quote to installation is excellent. They are kind, friendly and trustworthy. when dealing with Royal Covers I feel safe and know that I will get reliable and quality service and product.

Just wanted to write a quick note to just say how happy and appreciative I am of the work that was done at my place by Royal Covers. Chance and Gabe were amazing, professional, and excellent in their installation. Plus they were just good people!Corey, the electrician, exceeded my expectations in spades. I told him that I typically have a low bar for contractors so that I dont get disappointed. But if I were to use a high bar as a standard for Corey, he surpassed even my high bar. His attention to detail was equal to mine if not even better. He is truly a expert in his field, takes his work seriously, and takes pride in what he delivers; you just dont find that much anymore. He gets major high praises from me.Larry See was the rep I met with initially. Larry, I couldn’t be happier. Thanks to the entire Royal Covers team.Donald

Third time Royal Covers has worked for us. Deck and laundry room, sun shades and a redo of the car port and skirting after the hail stormIn October. They show up and professionally do their work, only took 4 hours to do the redo on the cover and skirt. When they are finished the job site is clean and I’ve never had to call them back to finish or correct substandard work!Will use Royal Covers Again, but hopefully not for hail damage!!Mike

Though I was not there during the installation, the guys were very patient with explaining to my wife the proper care, warranty and helpful suggestions pertaining to our pergola. The end result was awesome! And of all the contractors we had give us quotes, Royal Covers is the only one that stated there had to be a structural beam at 16' or it would sag. Ours built was a 22x22. They cleaned up all of their mess and I was very impressed! Highly suggest them if you are in the market for Alumawood!!

What a fantastic experience from the 1st consult to the install! I first met with Peter he measured the area and helped me to choose the best color along with other options. He is very familiar with the product and was able to give me an exact estimate on the spot. It was more affordable than I thought it would be. From there I was advised they were 5 to 6 weeks out as far as when install could be performed. Thankfully they were able to squeeze me in a little sooner which was awesome! Gabe the installer was very upbeat, knowledgeable and polite. He had it finished within the day! (Even with the dog helping) 🙂 I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out! What a difference it made! Thank you Royal Covers of Arizona team!

The results of the patio cover are fantastic. We could not be happier. The ceiling fan and electrical work was nicely done.

We wanted to cover an odd shaped bar-b-que area setup. It wasn’t easy but Royal Covers did a great job designing a custom the pergola. The sales and installers were great. Very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Royal Covers of Arizona.

First let it be known, I am a business owner and contractor in the security industry. So when I have a large contracting job to be completed on my own house? I am extremely picky. I expect the contracted promise to match the finished product. I expect the details to be covered. I expect professionalism. I was lucky enough to meet the gracious CEO at Royal Covers, who arrived with my designer, I interviewed 4 other companies. This company was THE MOST professional. They brought samples, they brought their laptop. They laid out the project and quoted me on the spot. No waiting a week for a quote. Throughout the process and days afterward, the company did not tire to answer my questions. Upon installation: a bright-eyed, professional, and polite team did a good job on my large 52 x13foot Alumawood patio roof project. The company stood behind their product when they had to come back to fix flashing. Just went through 2 days of rain....and no leaks. Very glad.

I had questions after the install and Royal Covers got me the answers to my questions immediately. I am very pleased and happy. Next…I will tap this company again for an RV/Boat structure project.

Life without a covered patio was rough. These guys were professional and fair. Answered all of my questions and completed any custom alterations without incident. Dependable and honest. Their electrician they work with is top notch as well!

From the get-go this process has been impressively handled. The salesman, Peter, was a pleasure to work with, suggesting ways to keep the cost reasonable by using some of the existing structures. The scheduling and follow-up were timely and worked around our personal timing preferences. The two men who came to the house to install, Daniel and Gabriel, were friendly, punctual, and very accommodating. They did a beautiful job, cleaned up several times each day, and seemed to take a great deal of pride in their work. I could not have been more delighted with the process or the outcome

This company was excellent to work with! I received 2 other bids from other companies and they did not compare. Their fees were higher, they took much longer to respond to me and their systems/technology seemed dated. I really like how Pete was able to draw up a few 3D designs on his laptop and give me exact dimensions and costs on the spot. Didn't feel pressure or rushed at all throughout. Finished product looks excellent!

Beautiful installation. Team did a great job of making sure that the installation & configuration of the pergola was exactly as I wanted. Attention to detail was superb. Great job by all involved from quoting to installation & billing. In spite of working some of the hottest days so far they did not short change any aspect of the installation. They were great.

How much do gable roof Alumawood patio covers cost in Phoenix?

Gable roof Alumawood patio covers in Phoenix typically cost 15-25% more than flat covers due to additional materials and engineering, with total project costs ranging from $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on size and features. While the initial investment is higher, the functional and aesthetic benefits—such as superior drainage, enhanced ventilation, and increased property value—provide a significant long-term return. The final price is influenced by several factors, including the overall square footage, the pitch of the gable, the choice between solid and lattice styles, and the inclusion of electrical options like ceiling fans and lights. Royal Covers provides transparent, detailed quotes with no hidden fees, and we offer flexible financing options, including 0% APR for up to 21 months for qualified buyers, to help make your project affordable.

What maintenance do gable roof Alumawood covers require?

Gable roof Alumawood covers require minimal maintenance—typically just annual inspections, occasional cleaning, and debris removal from roof valleys. The beauty of Alumawood is that it is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Unlike wood, it will never need to be painted, stained, or sealed. To keep your patio cover looking its best, we recommend a simple annual cleaning with soap and water to remove any dust or dirt. For gable roofs, it is also important to check the roof valleys for any accumulated leaves or debris, especially after a storm, to ensure proper drainage. This simple care routine will keep your Royal Covers patio cover looking beautiful for decades.

How do gable roofs perform in Phoenix’s extreme climate?

Gable roofs perform exceptionally in Phoenix’s extreme climate, withstanding 150°F surface temperatures, 115 mph monsoon winds, and wide temperature swings while providing superior ventilation and drainage. The Alumawood material is specifically engineered for the harsh conditions of the Southwest. Its Aluma-Shield paint finish resists fading and chalking under the intense UV radiation, and the aluminum construction expands and contracts without cracking or warping. The pitched design of a gable roof is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional, providing a cooler, more comfortable outdoor space and reliable protection during monsoon season.
