Our Process

You make your appointment…call us at (909) 390-0555 or (since you’re here) go to our Free In-Home Estimate page and fill out your information. One of our representatives will call you to arrange the best time for one of our Sales Reps to come to your home to discuss your project.

A Rooms, Covers ’N Solar Sales Rep will arrive to introduce you to our product line of Patio Covers, Patio Enclosures and Solar Equipment. He will be able to take your input and provide you with a bid for us to complete you project.

An agreement can be signed at this point, or if you want to think it over, the Sales Rep will leave you a quote that’s good for 30 days. Standard California right of rescission applies, which means that you are able to cancel up to the third business day after signing.

If you would like to finance your project, we have programs available that will fit your criteria. Your Sales Rep can cover all of those with you on his visit, explaining all the terms and costs for each option.

After your project is laid out and an agreement is signed, the engineering phase is begun. If a site check is required for special conditions at your home, someone from that office will arrange a visit. Most jobs use standard engineering prints for your product, and the calculations can be completed at the office.

The permit application process is next. This process can take up to several weeks Most permits take about two weeks. We will keep you advised as your permit progresses.

Possible delay to our timeline. As mentioned above, some cities take a percentage of jobs for a plan check of the engineering. This is a random event, and it should be mentioned at point of sale or site check. If this happens, you will be advised, and whatever time is added for the plan check will be added to your timeline for job completion. This delay is out of our control if it occurs, and your understanding is appreciated. No materials can be ordered until the city/county agrees to the permit.

At receipt of permit, we will pick it up and place it in your job folder. This permit will be delivered to you at project installation and is yours to keep. A copy should be retained at the city or county. Having this permit in your files will ensure a smooth transition should you decide to sell your house at a later date.

Order placement with the factory. On average, it take 14 business days for the factory to complete your order. They generally confirm our order within 48 hours, which allows us to arrange an install date with you.

The day is here! Time for us to start installing your project. We allow a week for this to take place. In your agreement, you should have a start week and finish week. This means, barring any weather delays, etc. that if we start on a Tuesday we should be finished by the following Tuesday, or Wednesday to Wednesday, etc. Any concrete work or demolition should have already been accomplished while your project was on order. Any unusual delays should have been discussed with you. If everything goes according to plan it will not take the full week, but allowing a little extra time is always prudent. Final payment can be given to your installers upon completion.

We will clean up after ourselves at the end of construction. Placing tarps down under the cutting tables makes this a fairly straight-forward process, one which we think is very important.

Happy customer! Our ultimate goal here at Rooms, Covers ’N Solar. The entire process usually covers 3-6 weeks. As mentioned before, the HOA and city permit processes may slow us down a little, but we will keep you in the loop should that happen. Thank you for being a Rooms, Covers ’N Solar customer!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is financing available?

Yes. We provide 12-months same as cash financing. Signature loans are also available with rates as low as 7%.

Can I walk on the patio covers?
Yes. The 3” insulated cover can be walked on directly. The flat pan non insulated cover would need a plank to walk on.
Can a cover be attached to the overhang on my house?

Typically, yes. There is a limit to how much overhang is allowed due to wind forces. Usually the fascia can be trimmed to allow us to attach to the house wall.

How about a hammock? Can I hang one of those?
No. We don’t recommend that you attach a hammock because the material is not designed to hold weight in that manner, but the post spacing is usually sufficient to put a free standing hammock between the posts for the same look.
Can I hang plants on the cover?

We have “aluma-hangers” to hang over the beam on the solid covers, and the lattice covers have lots of places to use fishing line or soft woven straps. You wouldn’t want to use anything that would scratch the paint.

What if I have existing post straps?

We will cut them off flush with the concrete, and in some instances can cover them up with our posts.

Will I need footings?
Only if you do not already have a standard 3 1/2″ slab, or if you want a freestanding cover. On an attached patio cover we anchor the posts to the slab with red head anchors, eliminating the need for footings.
How does it stand up to the wind?

Our products are engineered for 90-110 mph winds. These ratings meet or exceed all city/county requirements.

Is aluminum hot? Does it radiate heat?

No. It reflects most of the heat. It would be warm to the touch on a hot day, but keep in mind it’s approximately 8′ away. The shade factor far outweighs any residual heat.

What are the benefits of solar energy?
Solar energy is renewable, clean, and reduces your carbon footprint. It can also lower your electricity bills and increase the value of your property.
How do I know if my home is suitable for solar panels?
A solar sales rep can assess your home to determine its suitability for solar panels. Factors such as roof size, orientation, and shading will be taken into account to design the most effective solar system for your home.
Can I install solar panels myself?
While it is possible to install solar panels yourself, it is not recommended unless you have experience with electrical work and roofing. It is safer and more efficient to hire a professional solar installer.
Will solar panels work during a power outage?
Most grid-tied solar systems are designed to shut off during a power outage for safety reasons. However, with a battery backup system, you can still have electricity during a blackout.
Do I need to have a lot of sunlight for solar panels to work?
Solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days, but they are most effective in direct sunlight. However, even areas with less sunlight can benefit from solar energy.
How long do solar panels last?
Most solar panels come with a warranty of 25 years, but they can last much longer with proper maintenance. In general, you can expect your solar panels to last 25-30 years or more.
