1. The Awning Factory
Address: 3427 12 St NE
Contact Details: +1 403-291-0235
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday – 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM
The Awning Factory understands that choosing a patio cover is an important decision. With over 40 years of experience, they know what works.
They offer a 10-year warranty that includes any workmanship and installation issues.
We love that they have an unparalleled understanding of local weather patterns. The covers are built with strong aluminum frames and sturdy roof panels to support heavy snow.
Their acrylic patio covers provide excellent light transmission, UV protection, and non-yellowing for up to 30 years. They use a 16 mm acrylic double-skinned sheet with a NO DRIP anti-condensate control coating on both sides, which eliminates all condensation droplets.
We were especially impressed with their large showroom. Seeing everything in person is incredibly helpful—it minimizes buyer’s remorse and ensures the chosen cover aligns perfectly with your expectations.
We also value that The Awning Factory offers a free in-home consultation. Many customers told us their consultations were highly informative, allowing them to get all their questions answered.
That said, their installation lead times are longer than other companies. They may not be the best choice if you’re hosting a party and need the cover immediately.
Professional, helpful, and highly experienced
“From start to finish our experience with the Awning Factory was top class. Everybody in sales and installation was professional, helpful and highly experienced. A great bunch to deal with and the finished installed product has exceeded my expectations.”

Professional installation
“The whole experience was outstanding! From the Showroom, to the onsite visit and helpful product suggestions, timely quote, to the professional installation, and customer follow up “how’d we do?”…they delivered excellence. In our case, we were looking for a high quality product that would last the test of time and allow us to enjoy our deck…given our south facing exposure and increasing summer temperatures. If you are in the market, I would highly recommend that you check out The Awning Factory. My wife and I are certainly glad that we did.”

Address: 159 Taralake Way NE
Contact Details: +1 778-598-6991
Operating Hours: Monday to Saturday – 9 AM to 5 PM
We were impressed with M&B Patio Cover, Railing & Gates Ltd.’s emphasis on personalized design. We love that their custom solutions allow for seamless integration with your existing home aesthetics and property layouts.
Another standout feature is their emphasis on using high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship. They use durable options like aluminum, vinyl, wood, or combinations of these—all built to last.

Their customer service is top-notch. Many customers praised their adherence to project timelines and consistent communication throughout the process.
However, some customers mentioned that initial consultations took longer than expected, which could be a drawback for those on tight schedules.

3. Desert Sun Patios Ltd
Address: 6215 3 St SE C8
Contact Details: +1 403-692-0820
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 5 PM
- Saturday – 10 AM to 2 PM
We love that Desert Sun Patios uses heavy-duty aluminum on their patio covers. This makes their structures incredibly durable and resistant to harsh winters. Customers we spoke to were impressed with the longevity and low-maintenance nature of their covers.
Desert Sun Patios is a top choice for homeowners seeking a custom patio cover. Their W-pan, V-pan (a strong non-insulated option with an 18-foot span), and flat pan (cedar-embossed for a natural look) offer great customization.
Customers also appreciate the option to choose from Lexan (plastiglass) or glass skylights, as well as hybrid pergola trims.
Lexan is ideal for those seeking a light-diffusing yet impact-resistant patio cover. On the other hand, if you prefer a more insulated space, glass skylights are a great choice—but they must be paired with insulated roof panels.
However, some customers reported issues with the staff’s responsiveness when requesting initial quotes. Several people felt their emails and calls were ignored for days.
Pays attention to details
“We recently had a patio cover installed by Desert Sun Patios. We worked with Bob to put together exactly what we wanted. Lindsay, the Admin. Assistant was great in keeping us updated on the process and finally, Randy (the installer) did a great job in putting it up! All were professional and paid attention to the details. We highly recommend them!!”
– Craig George, Google Reviews

“We did a right decision to choose desert Sun Patios to do our patio cover. We were so happy for the result, our patio became more bigger and now I have a place for relaxation. To the installer you did a good job, pleasant and nice people.To the whole crew of Desert Sun, thank you so much for a job well done. We can recommend you to all our friends. A million thanks again.”

Address: 8511 Bowness Rd NW
Contact Details: +1 403-235-5535
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 6 PM
- Saturday – 10 AM to 6 PM
Exterior Systems isn’t about fall-apart solutions—they’re all about working with you to design a space that perfectly suits your home and lifestyle.
We were genuinely impressed by the level of customization they offer. You can work with them to choose everything from size and shape to color and features.
Plus, you can even add enhancements like lighting or retractable screens. In fact, customers we spoke to loved this flexibility and said it was a major factor in their decision.
Beyond that, we really appreciate that Exterior Systems employs highly trained installers. Customers love that they don’t just install the cover—they handle everything, from the first consultation to the final cleanup. It’s a stress-free experience, and we appreciate that.
The only drawback we found was scheduling consultations. A few customers told us it took several days just to get a callback.

– Brian Galenkamp, Google Reviews

5. Suncoast Enclosures
Address: 5423 61 Ave SE #170
Contact Details: +1 403-668-4440
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 5 PM
We love that Suncoast uses durable materials, like polycarbonate (a very strong plastic) roofing. Several homeowners told us their patio covers have withstood years of sun, hail, and even the occasional snowstorm.
We also appreciate that they work closely with homeowners to create a design that perfectly complements both their home and lifestyle.
The customization options are impressive—different roof styles, colors, and sizes. You can even add features like lighting, ceiling fans, and heating systems.
Customers also loved that they could extend their roofline to create a seamless transition and integrate the patio cover into a larger outdoor space.
The installation process is efficient and professional. However, some customers felt that the staff sometimes came across as pushy salespeople. A few mentioned they didn’t like being pressured to purchase additional features without staff genuinely considering their needs.
Provides consistent progress updates
“We are very pleased with our new Suncoast patio cover. From start to finish, the Suncoast team were very very courteous and professional in keeping us informed on progress and ensuring the highest standard of workmanship. The final results are amazing and provide us with a great atmosphere to chill out and entertain family and friends.”
– Dave Colquhon, Google Reviews
Takes care of the smallest details
“Matt, Johann and Ethan of Suncoast Enclosures installed a 3 season patio cover on our back deck. They were all fantastic to work with. They had a passion for their work, consulted us at ever step of the process and took care of the smallest details. The end result is a great looking enclosure that we will enjoy for many years.”’
