Patio covers
Add a solid patio cover with shade, drainage and the relationship to the house planned together. Confirm support footings and attachment details before choosing columns, ceiling finish and lighting.
START WITH THE DETAILS
What goes into
the work.
Measure footprint, height, fence length and gate count separately. Note grade, posts, access, attachment and stairs.
Typical scope to confirm
- Measure the covered area and roof height
- Coordinate posts, beams, footings and attachment
- Specify roof covering and runoff management
- Define ceiling finish and optional fan/light provisions
Make it specific to your project.
Enter the amount of work and choose the details you know. Your choices follow you into the Project Builder.
LOW / MIDDLE / HIGH REFERENCE
Low$20per sq ft
Middle$35per sq ft
High$50per sq ft
Low and high are published reference endpoints. Middle is their arithmetic midpoint, not a quoted average, product tier or firm price.
Match the reference scope first
- Confirm Material before applying this reference to your quantity. The current patio-cover reference is basic uninsulated aluminum over an existing base.
The figures above remain the source reference. They do not price these selections or a complete installed project.
A planning reference for this service only. Selections, local labor, access, quantities and existing conditions need Coastal’s review. Do not add overlapping whole-project and component ranges.

PERMIT PLANNING
Check the scope and jurisdiction
Size, height, attachment, use and location determine approvals. Edmond lists exceptions for some small detached structures and fences; OKC asks owners to check shed scope before construction. Confirm setbacks, easements and utility work too.
- Attached or substantial new outdoor structure
- Work outside local size/height exemptions
- Property-line, easement, utility or drainage impacts
ENGINEERING & DESIGN
Engineering required for these conditions
Edmond requires an engineered footing design for the footprint additions covered by its alteration/addition checklist. Other locations and existing-space conversions need scope-specific structural review.
- An Edmond footprint addition under the city alteration/addition checklist
- New loads on existing framing or foundations
- Unusual soil conditions or nonstandard structural details
Confirm requirements with the city or county responsible for the property before work begins. The address, exact scope and adopted code determine the final requirements.
