Construction Company in Riverside, CA
Enjoy Your Outdoor Spaces
At Blades Construction, we believe the best outdoor spaces are built with intention, durability, and design. In a city like Riverside, where sunny skies, warm afternoons, and vibrant outdoor living are part of everyday life, your backyard should be a true extension of your home. That is why we specialize in custom patio covers, enclosures, and shade systems crafted specifically for Riverside homeowners.
Based in Southern California, our work is rooted in a consultation-first approach, focused exclusively on residential outdoor living. We are not general remodelers or builders who offer patio work on the side. This is what we do and we do it without prefab kits or off-the-shelf solutions. Every patio cover, enclosure, or shade system we install is custom-designed for your space, needs, and lifestyle.
We combine craftsmanship with technology, offering everything from classic pergolas to motorized roller shades. Whether you are seeking to create a cool retreat from the heat or a modern shaded oasis for entertaining, our team is here to help you shape the outdoor space you have always envisioned.
Built for Comfort:
Custom Patio Covers
Patio covers are our specialty and the heart of what we do. Riverside’s Mediterranean climate brings plenty of sunshine, which means protection and comfort are essential for outdoor enjoyment. Our patio cover solutions are built to stand up to the elements while complementing the style of your home.
Custom Patio Covers
We never use prefab kits. Instead, we tailor each patio cover to your home’s exact dimensions, layout, and architectural style. That means whether you want a freestanding shade structure in the center of your yard, or a seamless patio cover attached to your home, we will design it from the ground up.
Our custom patio covers range from open lattice designs that allow dappled light to come through, to solid roof structures that offer full shade and rain protection. We account for sun angles, wind exposure, and your personal aesthetic preferences to build a cover that looks great and performs even better.
DIY Patio Cover Kits
At Blades Construction, we understand that some Riverside homeowners enjoy taking a hands-on approach to improving their outdoor space. That is why we are proud to now offer DIY patio cover kits as an additional option alongside our fully installed custom builds.
Each DIY patio cover kit includes:
- Custom-cut materials designed specifically for your space
- A detailed DIY instruction pamphlet to guide you step by step
- The same durable roofing and framing options we use in our installed patio covers
- 24/7 customer support so you can reach our team anytime during the build
This option is ideal for homeowners who want the quality and design of a custom patio cover while taking on the installation themselves. With our support available around the clock, you are never left guessing or handling the project alone.
Screened Patio Covers
A screened patio cover is a smart solution for enjoying the outdoors without bugs, debris, or constant exposure to the elements. It is especially useful in Riverside’s warm seasons when pests and allergens can be a concern. Our screened patio covers are built using durable framing and high-quality mesh that maintains airflow while blocking insects, leaves, and other unwanted elements.
Screened enclosures are great for families who want to create a comfortable dining area, an outdoor reading nook, or a semi-enclosed play space for kids or pets. We design each enclosure to blend with your home and existing patio area, ensuring a cohesive look and feel.
Aluminum Patio Enclosures
Aluminum is our preferred material for many projects because of its strength, low maintenance, and weather resistance. Our aluminum patio enclosures offer a clean, contemporary aesthetic along with unmatched durability in Riverside’s sun-filled environment.
Whether you are looking to enclose an existing patio space or build a new structure from scratch, our team will design an aluminum enclosure that balances form and function. These structures are often combined with shade systems, lighting, and insulation to create a true outdoor room you can use year-round.
Insulated Patio Roofs
In Riverside’s hot summers, shade alone is not always enough. That is where our insulated patio roof systems come in. These roofs are built with energy-efficient panels that block radiant heat, creating a significantly cooler space beneath them.
Insulated patio roofs are ideal for patios that are frequently used during peak sun hours or for structures that are adjacent to your home, as they can help reduce interior heat transfer as well. We offer a variety of finishes and trim options so your insulated cover feels like a natural extension of your property.
Pergolas and Gazebos
For those looking to create an outdoor focal point or a partially shaded retreat, we offer custom pergolas and gazebos built to suit your yard’s layout and design style. Pergolas provide a more open feel, ideal for climbing plants or hanging lighting, while gazebos create a freestanding space perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
Each structure is engineered for long-term use, constructed with premium materials that can stand up to the Riverside heat and seasonal winds. Whether you want a quiet reading spot in the garden or a shaded dining area near your pool, we will build it to your specifications.
Patio Enclosure Repairs
Already have a patio cover or enclosure that needs some work? We offer repair services for aluminum frames, screens, roofing panels, and other structural components. Our repair team will inspect your current system, identify any damage or wear, and offer solutions that restore performance and appearance.
Common repairs include:
- Replacing damaged roof panels
- Realigning or reinforcing sagging beams
- Re-screening mesh enclosures
- Upgrading shade components
- Post replacements
Whether it is a minor fix or a complete structural refresh, we can breathe new life into your existing patio space.
Outdoor Lighting for Enclosures
To enhance your patio’s usability after sunset, we offer outdoor lighting solutions that are integrated directly into your enclosure or patio cover. From recessed lighting in insulated roofs to string lights along pergolas, we design lighting systems that bring comfort, safety, and ambiance to your outdoor areas.
Lighting options include:
- Dimmable LED fixtures
- Motion sensor security lighting
- Decorative sconces and lanterns
- Ceiling fan lighting kits
Our goal is to help you enjoy your outdoor living space day or night.
Shade Systems That Elevate Outdoor Living
In addition to building patio structures, we also specialize in shade systems that offer privacy, temperature control, and modern convenience. These systems are perfect for Riverside homeowners looking to take control of their environment without closing themselves off from nature.
Outdoor Roller Shades
Outdoor roller shades are an efficient and stylish way to manage sun exposure and maintain comfort in your outdoor space. These shades are made from durable mesh or fabric materials that block UV rays, reduce glare, and allow airflow.
They can be mounted on patio structures, pergolas, or even windows, providing targeted sun protection where you need it most. We offer a wide range of material colors and opacities to help you find the perfect match for your space and privacy needs.
Motorized Roller Shades
For effortless control over your outdoor shading, we offer motorized roller shades that operate via remote control, wall switch, or smart home integration. These shades can be programmed to adjust based on the time of day or sunlight intensity, offering convenience and energy efficiency.
Motorized shades are particularly useful for large patios or high-mounted installations where manual operation is difficult. We install reliable, quiet motors that are built to last and easy to use.
Privacy Screens for Patios
Privacy screens create a more secluded, peaceful outdoor area by shielding your patio from neighboring properties or nearby streets. Our privacy screens come in various forms, including:
- High-opacity mesh
- Solid aluminum panels
- Decorative lattice
We tailor the design based on your goals, whether you want to block sightlines, reduce wind exposure, or add a stylish architectural element to your yard.
Retractable Patio Screens
Retractable screens offer the ultimate flexibility, allowing you to open up your space when the weather is ideal and close it off when you need shade, wind protection, or privacy. These systems are often paired with patio covers, giving you year-round adaptability.
We install both manual and motorized versions, depending on your preferences and budget. When retracted, the screens remain out of sight, preserving the open feel of your space.
5th Wheel Trailer Back Door Shades
For Riverside homeowners with on-site trailers or RVs, we offer custom shade installations designed for 5th wheel back doors. These shades help reduce interior heat, increase privacy, and create a comfortable outdoor entrance or seating area.
As with all our solutions, these systems are built with weather-resistant materials and tailored for your exact setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. We do not use prefab kits for any of our patio covers or enclosures. Every structure we build is fully customized for your home and outdoor space. Prefab kits often fail to meet the aesthetic and performance standards our clients expect, especially in Riverside where sun exposure and climate conditions demand higher durability. Our design-build approach ensures each project fits your space perfectly in both function and style.
Yes. Riverside’s high summer temperatures, dry air, and seasonal winds require carefully selected materials. We use aluminum for its resistance to rust, fading, and warping, along with insulated roofing panels for thermal protection. Our shade fabrics are UV-resistant and built to withstand repeated sun exposure, providing long-term performance and value.
In many cases, yes. If your existing patio cover is structurally sound, we can often retrofit it with motorized roller shades or retractable systems. During your consultation, we evaluate the structure and recommend the best integration options to enhance comfort and convenience without requiring a full rebuild.
We begin with a conversation about your goals, budget, and design preferences. An on-site visit follows, where we take measurements, evaluate sun exposure, wind patterns, and layout considerations, and provide tailored recommendations. You receive a detailed proposal, design concepts, and a projected timeline so you can move forward confidently.
Timelines vary based on project size and complexity, but most patio covers and shade systems are completed within two to four weeks after design approval. More intricate custom builds may require additional time. We prioritize efficiency without sacrificing craftsmanship and keep you informed throughout the entire process.
