What Are Motorized Alumawood Patio Covers?

Motorized Alumawood patio covers are adjustable shade structures that combine the durability of aluminum with the beauty of a wood-grain texture and the flexibility of a motorized louvered roof. These systems are a significant upgrade from traditional, fixed patio covers, providing dynamic control over your outdoor environment. The core of the system is a heavy-gauge aluminum frame that houses adjustable louvers, all operated by a weather-resistant motor. Unlike fabric awnings, which can tear and require frequent replacement, or standard Alumawood covers that offer only static shade, a motorized system provides a durable, adaptable, and long-term solution for any outdoor space.

Why Choose Motorized Alumawood for Phoenix Homes?

Phoenix homeowners choose motorized Alumawood patio covers for their unique ability to adapt to extreme desert conditions while providing year-round outdoor comfort. The Phoenix climate presents significant challenges, including summer temperatures that regularly exceed 110°F, intense UV radiation, sudden monsoon storms with high winds, and pervasive dust. Motorized Alumawood systems are engineered to meet these challenges head-on, offering tailored solutions that static covers cannot match.

These systems provide a powerful defense against the elements. You can adjust the louvers to block the harsh afternoon sun, reducing patio temperatures by as much as 20 degrees, or open them to enjoy the pleasant morning light. During a monsoon, the louvers close to form a solid, water-tight barrier, protecting your outdoor furniture and living space. This adaptability makes your patio a comfortable and usable space regardless of the season or weather.

There are many Phoenix-specific benefits to installing a motorized Alumawood patio cover, such as:

  • Heat Management: Adjust the louvers throughout the day as the sun moves to maintain a cool, comfortable patio.
  • Monsoon Readiness: An available rain sensor can automatically close the louvers at the first sign of rain, keeping your patio dry and protected.
  • Pool Area Cooling: Covering the area around a pool can help reduce water temperature and make the poolside environment more comfortable.
  • Energy Efficiency: By shading the exterior walls and windows of your home, a patio cover can reduce indoor temperatures and lower your cooling costs.
  • Extended Outdoor Season: Enjoy your patio comfortably throughout the year, from the hottest summer days to cooler winter evenings.

How Do Motorized Alumawood Patio Covers Work?

The motorized system operates through a track mechanism that rotates the aluminum louvers up to 170 degrees, allowing precise control over shade, sunlight, and weather protection. This movement is powered by a durable, quiet motor connected to a central control bar that ensures all louvers move in perfect synchronization. This allows for a seamless transition between a fully open, partially tilted, or completely closed roof.

There are several ways to control your motorized patio cover, such as:

  • Remote Control: A simple handheld remote provides an easy way to manually operate the louvers.
  • Wall Switch: A permanently installed wall switch offers convenient control from a single location.
  • Smart App: Control your patio cover from anywhere using a dedicated smartphone application.
  • Automated Sensors: For ultimate convenience, the system can be equipped with sensors that automatically adjust the louvers based on weather conditions, such as rain, wind, or sun.
  • Voice Control: Integrate your patio cover with your existing smart home system for hands-free voice commands.

The system’s operating positions offer a range of uses, such as:

  • Fully Open (0°): Allows for maximum sunlight and ventilation on cooler days.
  • 45° Tilt: Provides partial shade while maintaining good airflow.
  • 90° Tilt: Creates a balance of shade and light, ideal for most sunny days.
  • 135° Tilt: Offers maximum shade while still allowing for some ventilation.
  • Fully Closed (170°): Creates a solid, water-tight roof for complete weather protection, with an integrated gutter system to channel rainwater away.

What Are the Benefits of Motorized Alumawood Patio Covers?

Motorized Alumawood patio covers provide adjustable shade control, superior weather protection, and long-lasting durability with minimal maintenance requirements. These benefits create a versatile and valuable addition to any Phoenix home, enhancing your outdoor lifestyle and increasing your property’s value. The ability to instantly adapt your outdoor space to changing conditions means you get more use and enjoyment out of your investment.

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.

Great communication from start to finish. I would highly recommend having them out for a quote!

Bill was very professional and also a great estimator. I had 4 pretty significant concerns dealing specifically with the installation and your Bill was the only one willing to address my concerns.

Royal Covers did an exceptional job from helping me with the design that best fit my budget and my yard as well as installation and cleanup. 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 Motorized Alumawood Patio Covers Cost?

Motorized Alumawood patio cover costs vary based on size, features, and customization, with Royal Covers offering competitive pricing and financing options to make your project affordable. While a motorized system is a significant investment, it provides long-term value that far exceeds that of traditional patio covers. The cost is influenced by factors such as the square footage, the style of cover, the type of control system and sensors, and any additional integrated features like lighting or heating.

Consider these long-term value benefits:

  • Durability: With a lifespan of 20-30+ years, a motorized Alumawood cover is a one-time investment.
  • Low Maintenance: You will save thousands of dollars over the years by avoiding the constant painting, staining, and repairs required for wood structures.
  • Energy Savings: A patio cover can significantly reduce your home’s cooling costs during the summer.
  • Home Value: An attractive, functional outdoor living space is a major selling point in the Phoenix market, increasing your property’s resale value.

Frequently Asked Questions About Motorized Alumawood Covers

What are motorized Alumawood patio covers?

Motorized Alumawood patio covers are adjustable shade systems that combine the strength of aluminum with the look of natural wood. They feature motorized louvers that can open or close up to 170°, allowing you to control sunlight, airflow, and rain protection with the touch of a button.

Why are they ideal for Phoenix homes?

These systems are engineered for Arizona’s desert climate—withstanding extreme heat, UV exposure, monsoon rains, and dust. Homeowners can adjust the louvers to block direct sunlight, cool the patio area by up to 20°F, and automatically close the cover during rain using built-in sensors.

How do motorized Alumawood patio covers work?

A durable motor rotates the aluminum louvers via a synchronized track mechanism. You can operate them through a remote control, wall switch, smartphone app, or even voice commands. Optional weather sensors automatically adjust the louvers based on sunlight, rain, or wind.

What styles and customization options are available?

Royal Covers offers fully customizable designs including:

  • Motorized Lattice Alumawood: open-air style for partial shade and airflow

  • Motorized Solid Panel Alumawood: solid roof for full coverage and rain protection

  • Combination Systems: mixed lattice and solid zones for versatile patios

Additional upgrades include LED lighting, ceiling fans, heaters, retractable screens, and multiple color options with fade-resistant finishes.
