Frequently Asked Questions

Our most common patio cover questions from homeowners and customers.

Can you enclose a deck and patio cover with windows and doors?

Yes, although if there is a deck, air and moisture can creep up from the ground beneath the deckboards causing rot and other damage. To mitigate this we suggest a motorized screen like the ones we install from Fenetex. We've found this is often a better solution to enclose an area

What's the best material for patio covers?

We've found that in the Pacific Northwest the best material for a patio cover is Acrylite / Aluminum. These patio covers keep out the rain and heat but let natural light still shine through. However always consider there are pros and cons of different materials, styles, and factors in things such as maintenance / cost.

Is it smart to put a grill / fire pit under a patio cover?

It isn't smart to put a wood fire pit under a cover because the smoke/sparks can damage the underside of the cover. However, we've found a gas firepit is works great. We tell all of our customers that grills are also safe to use under a patio cover.

Cascade Patio Cover Reviews

Check out what our patio cover customers have to say about us!

Highly recommend Cascade Fence & Deck who built our wood hybrid backyard patio cover. The planning and estimation from Lukas with a detailed presentation on the project helped us make the right decision on going with the wood hybrid design and also see how the final product would look like. Levi, Rory, Michael and Ross are highly skilled at their job in putting those designs to reality. They were very professional in terms of their timing and productivity. The final product looks exactly like they showed in design planning. We are highly satisfied with the overall craftsmanship and customer service experience delivered by the whole team.

Look no further, this is who you should hire for your new project. From the estimate, to the design, to the build out it, everything was First Class. Tavis and Josh tackled a challenging build and made it look easy. The finished result of my new deck and patio cover is incredible. For my next project, there isn’t a question of who I will call. They showed up on time, did what they said they would do, and knocked it out of the park. Well done Tavis and Josh. They deserve a raise.

The guys and gals at cascade fence and deck really impressed me with staying under my budget and the quality craftsmanship of my new patio cover. Would absolutely recommend them for anyone to use. From the professionalism of the guys on the job, to the intelligence of the project managers in the office, 10/10 top to bottom. Thanks to Cascade Fence and Deck!

We worked with Jonathan Rojas and his crew on two separate projects. The first project was replacing our old fence and the second project was installing a new Acrylite Patio Cover over our deck. Jonathan and his team were extremely professional, fast, efficient, and did incredible work. They treated our home as if it was their own. If you love your home and you wish to increase the quality of life by investing in your home, it's important that the people you hire for projects respect your property as if it were their own. I can tell you that this was 100% the case on the two separate occasions we worked together. Work site was always kept incredibly clean, never a stray nail or other building material or waste left behind. Project status and timelines was always communicated. And the workmanship speaks for itself. Just incredible, quality work.

We are really pleased with the patio cover and with Cascade Fence & Deck. The company is professional and the patio cover is exactly as we wanted. It is excellent quality. The project was completed over two days and Jonathan and Kory were professional, polite, efficient, and friendly. We would use this company again for future projects and would recommend them. We now have a beautiful outdoor living space.

Cascade Fence and Deck was a pleasure to with on our deck remodel and patio cover install. The end product turned out much beyond our expectations and the attention to detail was exceptional. The process was seamless and completed much quicker than we thought. The entire team is reliable, professional and communicates each step on a daily basis. Shout out to Tavis, Ty, Ross, Blake and Nick for building us our dream outdoor area!
