Finding your way out of the Arizona sunshine has been essential this summer. With several days well over 110 degrees and hardly any rain, this summer has been brutal! Adding a patio covering to your Arizona home has several advantages and it can influence more than the exterior of your house. 

If you are shopping for a patio covering for your home, you have come to the right spot! We are going to review three types of covers you can add to your home along with several advantages of adding one. Craven Construction is a leading installer of patio coverings over every kind in the East Valley and is here to help you decide which might be best for you!

Types Of Patio Coverings

Pergola: Typically made of wood or metal, a pergola features intricate designs that provide shelter as well as privacy to any patio. Pergolas are known for their beautiful construction and can be decorated to add curb appeal to your home. They also add shade to your yard, patio, or garage and can be built as a self-standing structure or an extension of a home. 

Wood Patio: A custom wood patio not only adds an abundance of shade to your home but also can help increase its value. Patios can be designed to enhance the exterior of your home while coordinating with your aesthetics. 

Aluminum Awnings: Another practical shade solution for your home is an aluminum awning. These structures are made of lightweight materials and typically attach to the exterior of the home. An aluminum awning can offer an abundance of shade and protection from the elements.

5 Advantages Of Adding Patio Covering

1. Protection

The heat from the sun along with harmful UV rays can take a toll on your home, belongings, and body. By adding a patio cover to your home, you are adding a layer of protection from the sun’s damaging forces. A patio covering can provide you and your family or friends with an outdoor living space during the hottest days of summer without fear of harm. 

2. Enhances The Space

You can completely transform your yard and curb appeal with the addition of a patio covering! A covered patio can create an inviting area that is not only comfortable but also functional. It becomes the space where guests are entertained, you spend your mornings, or simply a space to relax at the end of a hard day. A covered patio is the perfect setting for whatever you wish to use it for.

3. Added Home Value

Adding a patio covering to your home not only adds shade but also adds to the value of your home. If you are considering selling your home or increasing its curb appeal, adding a patio covering will certainly help in the long run. A patio adds functional living space and style to a home that is attractive to prospective homebuyers. 

4. Custom Options

Regardless of the type of patio covering you are considering, there are several options in color and style available. Working with a local contractor, they will be able to design an area that compliments your home’s architecture and taste. You can also customize your patio to suit your needs and your budget, 

5. Reduce Energy Consumption

Adding a patio covering to your home not only protects you and the outside of your home but also the interior. A cover will block direct sunlight into your home, which will help reduce the need for your air conditioner to run. The less UV rays and sunlight your home directly absorbs, the cooler your home’s interior will be.
