Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at shademdaz@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 

Alumawood is a roll-formed aluminum product designed to mimic the look of wood. It’s lightweight, cost-effective, and a popular choice for standard patio covers and pergolas.

Extruded aluminum, on the other hand, is a heavier, solid aluminum material formed through a high-pressure process. This creates thicker, stronger components that allow for larger spans, cleaner lines, and a more modern, high-end appearance.

In short:

  • Alumawood = budget-friendly, wood-look option
     
  • Extruded aluminum = premium, stronger, more customizable structure


 Aluminum won’t warp, crack, rot, or attract termites. It also requires far less maintenance, making it a long-lasting and low-maintenance solution. 


 Span capability depends on the material and design.

Extruded aluminum systems allow for longer spans and fewer posts, creating a more open and modern look.


 Permit requirements vary by city and jurisdiction, so it’s best to check with your local municipality.

We offer engineering and in-house permitting services for an additional cost, and can handle the entire process on your behalf to ensure everything is up to code.


  Most projects are completed within 1–3 days, depending on size and complexity. Larger or more custom structures may take a bit longer. 


 Our pricing typically includes materials and installation.

Engineering, permitting, electrical, and specialty upgrades may be included as part of a customized package depending on your project.
