Based in Big Bend, Wisconsin

Big Bend is home base for our Wisconsin operations. From here, we serve nearby cities and neighborhoods throughout Waukesha, Racine, Milwaukee, and surrounding counties.

Because we’re local, we understand:

• How Wisconsin snow, ice, and summer storms affect your outdoor space
• Local building codes and permitting requirements
• The shade, drainage, and layout challenges that come with existing decks, patios, and homes in this area

Whether you’re adding a simple solid patio cover, creating a covered outdoor room, or pairing a new cover with deck upgrades, our designs are engineered for Wisconsin homes and Wisconsin weather.

What We Build in These Wisconsin Communities

No matter which city you’re in, our team brings the same attention to detail, code-compliant engineering, and long-term durability.

Custom Aluminum Patio Covers

We specialize in high-quality aluminum patio covers designed for year-round use:

• Solid Covers – Complete shade and rain protection for outdoor dining areas, grills, and pet spaces
• Insulated Covers – Added climate control, noise reduction, and integrated channels for ceiling fans and lighting
• Lattice Covers – Partial shade with adjustable spacing to control how much sun reaches your patio or deck
• Combination Covers – Blend solid and lattice for the best of both worlds on a single structure

All of our aluminum systems are designed to be:

• Low-maintenance (no painting, no cracking, no warping)
• Weather-resistant for Wisconsin conditions
• Backed by a Full Lifetime Warranty on materials

Covered Outdoor Rooms & Transitions

Looking to create more of an “outdoor room” feel?

We design covers that integrate with:

• Existing concrete patios and paver patios
• Existing or new decks
• Walkouts, sliding doors, and backyard entries

Lighting, ceiling fans, and heaters can be incorporated so you can use your space comfortably from early spring through late fall.

Deck & Railing Upgrades

In many projects, a patio cover is just one part of the plan. We can also help with:

• Deck resurfacing or replacement (wood or composite)
• Aluminum railings to match the clean lines of your new cover
• Structural framing adjustments to support a future cover or outdoor room

If your current deck or patio isn’t ready for a cover yet, we’ll walk you through the best way to phase the project.

Why Homeowners Across SE Wisconsin Choose Patio Cover Designs by S

1. Deep manufacturing & design experience: Before starting Patio Cover Designs by S, our owners spent years working directly with the manufacturers of aluminum patio products. That background helps us design projects that not only look great but perform well long term.

2. Family-owned and relationship-driven: You’re not dealing with a giant crew of strangers. You’ll work directly with a small, hands-on team that knows your project details, answers your questions, and shows up when we say we will.

3. Built for Wisconsin weather: We understand snow loads, ice, wind, and the freeze–thaw cycle. Our covers and connections are engineered with those realities in mind so you can feel confident in your investment.

4. Clear communication from start to finish: From your first estimate to final walkthrough, we keep you updated on design options, timelines, and what to expect at each phase of the job.

5. Lifetime-backed products: Our aluminum systems are backed by strong manufacturer warranties, and we stand behind our workmanship as well.
