Patio Covers & Covered Patios in Pewaukee, Wisconsin

Between summer days on the lake and evenings on the back deck, Pewaukee is made for outdoor living. But the combination of strong sun, sudden rain, and Wisconsin winters can leave your patio or deck unusable more often than you’d like.

Patio Cover Designs by S helps Pewaukee homeowners create covered outdoor spaces that look clean, feel comfortable, and hold up season after season. We specialize in custom aluminum patio covers and outdoor living structures built for our Wisconsin climate.

We’re a small, family-run company based in Big Bend, WI, and we design each project to fit the way you actually live in your home—whether that’s quiet coffee on the back porch or big gatherings after a day on Pewaukee Lake.

Outdoor Spaces Tailored to Pewaukee Homes

Pewaukee has a mix of classic neighborhoods, newer subdivisions, and lakefront properties. That variety means no two projects are exactly alike.

We regularly work on:

  • Homes with decks overlooking the lake or wooded backdrops
  • Patios that take full afternoon sun on the west side of the house
  • Walk-out basements with high decks needing shade and shelter
  • Smaller backyard patios where space is limited but comfort still matters

When we visit your Pewaukee property, we pay attention to more than measurements. We look at your views, prevailing winds, sun exposure, and how you actually move in and out of the house so the finished cover feels intentional—not tacked on.

Patio Cover Options for Pewaukee Backyards

Every project begins with a conversation about how you want to use your outdoor space. From there, we’ll guide you toward the cover style that fits your home and priorities.

Solid Roof Covers for Everyday Use

A solid aluminum cover is an excellent choice if you want a dependable area that stays dry and shaded:

  • Keeps rain off your seating area, grill, and doors
  • Offers protection from snow and ice right outside your back entry
  • Creates a defined space for dining, relaxing, or watching the game outside

Because the structure is aluminum, you can forget about sanding, staining, or repainting. A simple cleaning is all it needs to keep looking sharp.

Insulated Covers for Extended Seasons

If you see your patio or deck as another “room” of the house, an insulated cover can make a noticeable difference:

  • Insulated roof panels help moderate temperature swings
  • Rain sounds softer overhead, making the space feel cozy in a storm
  • Built-in raceways allow us to integrate lights, ceiling fans, and heaters cleanly

These are especially popular on Pewaukee homes with larger decks, expansive patios, or outdoor TVs and sound systems.

Light-Filled Lattice & Hybrid Designs

Sometimes you don’t want to block the light completely—just soften it. A lattice-style cover can be the right fit for:

  • Patios filled with planters or garden beds
  • Seating areas where dappled light feels nicer than full shade
  • Spaces where you still want to see the sky above

We can also design hybrid layouts, using solid panels where protection is most important (near doors and main seating) and lattice sections where filtered light is preferred.

Working With Existing Patios, Decks & Lakeside Lots

Many Pewaukee homes already have a deck or patio that simply needs a cover to feel complete. Our job is to make that connection safe, sturdy, and good-looking.

Common scenarios we help with:

  • Adding a cover over an existing composite or wood deck
  • Upgrading railings to coordinate with the new structure
  • Designing posts and supports that don’t interrupt views toward the lake or backyard
  • Planning future deck or patio work so it’s “cover-ready” when you’re ready to add one

We’ll inspect what you currently have in place and be upfront about any changes needed before a cover can be added.

How Our Pewaukee Projects Come Together

We’ve built our process around clear expectations and minimal disruption.

  1. Intro Call & Photo Review: You share a few pictures of your space and rough dimensions. We’ll talk about how you want to use the area and give you an initial idea of possibilities and price range.
  2. In-Person Consultation in Pewaukee: We meet at your home, measure carefully, look at sightlines and sun paths, and discuss layout options, styles, and color choices.
  3. Customized Design & Written Proposal: You receive a clear plan showing how the cover ties into your home, where posts and beams will go, and what’s included. We’ll cover codes, permits, and engineering details as needed.
  4. Installation by Our In-House Crew:  Our small team handles the build—no big rotating crews. We work efficiently, protect landscaping and hardscapes, and clean up at the end of each workday.
  5. Final Walkthrough & Warranty Details: When the project is complete, we walk the space with you to answer questions, review simple care tips, and go over your lifetime product warranty.

Why Homeowners in Pewaukee Choose Patio Cover Designs by S

Specialists in patio cover systems

Our background comes from the manufacturing and technical side of aluminum patio structures, not just general carpentry. That means the details behind your project—connections, load paths, and product selection—are intentional.

Small, family-run team

You’re dealing with people who have a long-term stake in the work and reputation of the company. We value honest communication, realistic expectations, and follow-through.

Solutions built for Wisconsin, not the desert

Because we live and work here, every design accounts for snow, ice, freeze–thaw cycles, and the way our seasons actually behave. Your cover is planned for Pewaukee weather, not a different climate.

Clean lines & low maintenance

The systems we install are chosen for their finished appearance and durability. No flaking stain or splintering beams—just a crisp, permanent upgrade to your home’s outdoor spaces.

Pewaukee Patio Cover FAQs

Can a patio cover work with my lake view? Yes. We’re careful about post placement and cover height so you can still enjoy your views toward the water or tree line while gaining shade and shelter.

What if my existing deck needs work first? If your deck isn’t ready to support a cover, we’ll explain why and outline your options. Sometimes that means reinforcement; other times it may be smarter to plan a new surface first.

Do you only work on large, custom projects? Not at all. We handle a range of project sizes in Pewaukee, from compact patio covers to larger deck-integrated roofs. The key is finding the right design for your space and budget.

How do I keep the cover looking good over time? Aluminum systems are very low-maintenance. Occasional rinsing and light cleaning are generally all that’s needed. We’ll review care tips with you at the end of the project.
