Patio cover contractor in Memphis, TN: shade you will use all year

In Memphis, a patio without a cover often sits empty from June through September. A well-built patio cover changes that. It cuts the afternoon sun, keeps you dry during summer storms and lets you use the space far more days of the year. It also adds living area to your home without adding walls.

Baltz Design plans the cover together with the patio, kitchen or fire feature it shelters, so everything fits. Our team handles the concrete, the structure and the finish, which means one point of contact from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. We build patio covers for homeowners in Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Cordova and nearby communities.

Every patio cover

What is included

Each cover is designed for your house, your sun and the way you use the space.

Design to match your home

We match the roofline, materials and proportions so the cover looks like part of the house.

Footings and structure

Properly built footings and framing sized for the span and for local weather.

Roofing and finish options

Cover styles and finishes chosen for shade, rain protection and appearance.

Concrete and patio work

If the patio below needs to be poured or repaired, the same team does it.

Lighting and fan planning

We plan for ceiling fans and lighting so the space is comfortable after dark.

One point of contact

One team from design through final walkthrough.
Cover styles

Choose the cover that fits your home

The right style depends on how much shade, protection and openness you want.

Attached patio cover

A roof extending from the house that gives full shade and rain protection right outside your back door.

Pergola

An open overhead structure that gives partial shade and a defined outdoor room.

Freestanding pavilion

A standalone covered structure that can shelter a kitchen, fireplace or seating area away from the house.

Cover with kitchen or fireplace

A cover planned with an outdoor kitchen or fire feature so the whole space is usable more of the year.
How it works

How a patio cover project works

01

We show you the cover style, size and materials before we build.
03

04

05

Final walkthrough

We walk the finished cover with you and confirm everything meets the plan.

What affects patio cover cost

Covers vary by size and style, so we price each one from a real plan.
  • Size and span. Larger covers need heavier framing and more footings.
  • Style. An open pergola costs differently than a fully roofed attached cover.
  • Materials and finish. Roofing, framing and trim choices affect the price and the look.
  • Patio condition. If the patio below needs repair or replacement, it can be done in the same project.
  • Extras. Fans, lighting, kitchens or fireplaces add to the total and are best planned together.

Reviews

“These guys are busy but well worth the wait! The design was excellent and the crews fulfilled our expectations completely. Kevin did a great job with the design of a new cabana and grill station addition to the pool deck. I was surprised later to find that he won first place in Residential Design with his work. These guys are highly recommended!”

“Baltz & Sons was the perfect selection for our driveway project. The owner, Kevin, goes above and beyond for customers. We appreciated how he communicated throughout the job. The creativity he brought to the table was so helpful. My husband and I weren’t entirely sure what the end result should look like and Kevin came up with ideas that were just what we needed, all the while coming up with something that was reasonably priced. Our driveway is just what we wanted!”

“We are more than pleased with the work done by Baltz and Sons Concrete. They redid our driveway and added masonry walls with integrated lights and it all looks beautiful. I can’t recommend them enough. They are wonderful!”

The full patio cover guide

Tap a topic to read more.
Shade, rain protection, a place for a kitchen or just a more defined outdoor room all point to different styles. Start with the purpose and the design follows.
Note where the sun hits your patio in the afternoon. The cover should be placed and angled to block the hottest light, not just sit overhead.
A cover that matches your roofline, trim and materials looks like it was always part of the house and tends to add more value.
Footings, posts and framing must be sized for the span and for wind and rain. This is not the place to cut corners.
If the patio is old, cracked or the wrong size, it is far cheaper to fix it while the cover is going in than later.
Ceiling fans and lighting make a covered patio usable on hot evenings and after sunset.
Setbacks, permits and HOA guidelines vary. Ask early so the design fits before work begins.
