Here at Sonoran Shade, We’ve Got You Covered.
Our Simple Creation Process
We do a free in-home design consultation where we spend ample time talking with our clients about what they want, and what they are trying to accomplish with their shade structure. We take the information gathered and put together a drawing and price for the project design.
Next, if we are chosen to do the project, we put a contract in place that details everything that will take place from start to finish. This will include any HOA or permitting requirements, all of the project details, a time frame for installation and a payment schedule.
Finally, the project installation will commence and be completed exactly as designed. Our installers will then conduct a final walk-through on each and every project to ensure everything is just as it should be. Your happiness is our priority, as it fuels our success.

Determine the design and size: We will help you come up with the design of the structure. With your ideas and our expertise, we will come up with the perfect patio cover or pergola designed just for you. Structure location, size, and design aspects will all be drawn to scale, so that you have a clear understanding of what we can build for you.
Provide a proposal: Once a drawing has been done for your design, we will provide you with an accurate price. The cost will be broken down in a line item way. We do this so that you’re fully aware of what each part of the project will cost.
Sign a contract agreement: Once you have decided to hire our company for your project, we will put a contract agreement in place. This contract will outline the total project cost, timeframe for completion, along with the project details and drawings. Signing a contract initiates our process for the completion of your project.
HOA submittal process: If you live in a community that has an HOA, we will provide you with everything needed for you to submit for HOA approval. This step may vary depending on if you have an HOA or not.
Obtain necessary permits: We will engineer your project, and submit for any necessary building permits on your behalf. This step may vary depending on your location, whether the structure is attached or freestanding, and the size of the structure. We will inform you if your particular project requires a building permit or not.
Order the material and schedule the installation: Once both the HOA and building permits have been approved and or issued, we will reach out to you and schedule the installation of your new patio cover. Once installation dates have been set, we will order the material for your project. If you don’t have an HOA, or require any building permits, we will be scheduling your installation shortly after the contract is signed.
Install the shade structure: Once your installation date(s) have arrived, we will come out to your home and install the shade structure. An installation can take anywhere from 1-5 business days, as the time that an installation takes is based on a number of factors. It will be based on if a permit was required or not, if we are digging footings, or if we have any inspections that need to be done by the city, town or county. Some large structures may take longer, at the time of scheduling you will know exactly how many days your project will take to complete.
Final Walk-through: Once the patio cover is built and complete, our installation crew will conduct a final walkthrough of the project. This is to ensure that everything looks fantastic and that you’ll be completely satisfied with the end result. It’s best if you’re home for this step so that you can participate in the walk-through. However, if you can’t be present, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We strive for the highest level of workmanship, making this step crucial to our completion process.
Enjoy your new patio covering: Finally, furnish and decorate your newly covered patio to create a cozy and inviting outdoor space for you and your guests to enjoy.
Please ask us about our referral program: We love when our clients send friends and family our way, as referrals are a big part of our business. If you send someone our way, and they decide to hire us for their project, we want to show our appreciation by rewarding you with a referral bonus. Please make sure that anybody you refer knows your first and last name, this way we can track who to provide the referral bonuses to. You will get a bonus for anyone you send that hires us.
Remember, building a patio cover requires specific skills and knowledge and it must be built to code, so it’s always a good idea to let professionals like Sonoran Shade take care of it for you instead of trying to do it yourself. That’s what we love to do!
