Lance and his wife host a lot, and their resort-style backyard in Alpine Heights had the pool and the bar to show for it. What it lacked was cover.The entertaining area behind their ranch-style home took the full Alpine sun, which limited when the space could be used and left guests choosing between shade and daylight.
They chose Southwest Builders after the consultation, on the strength of Tom’s design vision and a clearly communicated, detailed plan. We designed a custom roof-mounted structure to get the height clearance the space needed and keep it in harmony with the house, then installed an Elitewood Ultra insulated
patio cover from Four Seasons Building Products fitted with Skyview skylight panels, so natural light still comes through. Seven days from start to finish.
The bar and pool area now works in every season. The insulated panels keep the heat off, the skylights keep the space bright instead of cave-like, and the roof-mounted design ties the cover into the home’s lines rather than bolting a box onto it. The panels and skylights are built for energy efficiency and long-term performance, backed by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Without it, the best-equipped backyard on the street would have kept losing its guests to the heat. If your outdoor space is built for hosting and short on shade, picture a cover that keeps the light and loses the sun. We would love to build it.
