Patio Covers
Aluminum & Vinyl Patio Cover Installation
Solid roof, lattice, or a combination. Insulated panels available where the patio doubles as living space.
Patio covers are the one product in our range where engineering matters most, because it is a roof, and a roof carries load. Anything attached to the house needs a proper ledger connection and, in most of our cities, a permit.
We handle the plan set and the permit where one is required. If a contractor tells you a 20-foot attached cover doesn't need a permit, get a second opinion.
Every estimate includes demolition and haul-away of the existing structure, and a written itemised price you can compare line by line against other bids.

What's different about how we do it
Details that decide whether it lasts
Engineered plans included
Stamped plans where the jurisdiction requires them, handled as part of the job.
Solid, lattice, or combination
Full shade over the dining area, filtered light over the walkway — you don't have to pick one for the whole span.
Insulated panel option
A meaningful difference in July if the patio is used as a room rather than a walkway.
Matched to the house
Colour-matched fascia and downspouts so it reads as part of the building, not an add-on.

LA Fence Craft designed and installed my new fence and gate. They did a beautiful job, cleaned up the job site and even spent time polishing the fence and gate. I couldn't recommend them more.
This is the second job I've had done by LA Fence Craft. From the detailed written estimate to the final clean up, they know how to get it done. I can't recommend them enough.
We hired LA Fence Craft to replace our old wooden fence. Very professional, excellent work, very clean. They even came on Sunday to make sure the job was done perfectly before our inspection.
How much does a new fence cost in the Los Angeles area?
Price is driven by three things: linear footage, material, and how much demolition and haul-away the old fence needs. Wood is the least expensive per foot and Vinyl and Aluminum sit above it, with Composite typically highest. Slope, hard digging in decomposed granite, and gates all add cost. We give a written, itemised price after measuring on site — not a per-foot guess over the phone.
Do I need a permit for a fence?
It depends on height and location on the lot, and the rules vary between cities and even between parcels. Rear and side yard fencing at standard residential height is often exempt, while taller fencing, street-facing fencing, and anything structural like a patio cover more often is not. Los Angeles also has designated Fence Height Districts that change what's allowed. We check your parcel before you sign.
How long does installation take?
A typical residential fence replacement is one to two days on site once materials are in. Custom gates, automation, patio covers and decks run longer. Lead time on materials is usually the bigger variable, and we give you a date range in writing with the estimate.
Do you handle the demolition of my old fence?
Yes. Removal, haul-away and disposal of the existing fence are included in the quote unless you tell us you want to keep it. There's no separate disposal charge added at the end.
