Patio Covers in New Orleans, LA
Insulated and aluminum patio covers in New Orleans, anchored and engineered for wind, built to beat the heat and the afternoon rain.
A patio cover is the difference between a backyard you look at and one you use. It knocks the afternoon sun off the slab, keeps the rain off the party, and turns the space into a real outdoor room. We design and install patio covers across the New Orleans metro, engineered for the weather that actually hits here.
Insulated or Aluminum, Matched to the Space
An insulated roof panel cover drops the temperature underneath noticeably and quiets the drum of a hard rain. It also carries ceiling fans and lighting without extra framing. A single-skin aluminum cover costs less and still delivers full shade and rain protection. We walk you through both on the estimate, with real numbers for your dimensions.
Engineered for Storm Season
From June through November, anything standing in a New Orleans backyard needs to be built for wind. Our covers are anchored into footings and framing rated for it, and we pull the permits your parish requires. A cover built for calm weather does not belong here, and we do not build them that way.
Details That Make It a Room
Fans, lighting, and screened sides are where a cover becomes a living space. Ceiling fans keep air moving through the humidity. Wiring runs inside the structure, not stapled along it. And if mosquitoes own your evenings, a cover is the natural frame for a screen room. Many covers we build also shelter an outdoor kitchen, and if the patio surface itself needs work, we handle patio paving in the same project.
From Estimate to Shade
We measure the space, check how the cover ties into your roofline and drainage, and hand you a written quote. Most covers install in days once materials arrive, and we walk the finished job with you before we call it done.
Carports and Comfort Add-Ons
The same engineered cover that shades a patio protects a vehicle. We build attached and freestanding carports on the same wind-rated framing standard, so the structure that keeps sun and hail off your car stays put in a squall. And under any cover we build, the add-ons that make the space livable go in cleanly: ceiling fans, lighting, string lights, radiant patio heaters for the short cool season, and outdoor audio wired inside the structure instead of stapled along it.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does patio covers cost in New Orleans?
Pricing depends on the size of the space, the materials you choose, and what the site needs for drainage and anchoring. We put all of it in a written estimate after a free on-site visit, before any work starts, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
How long does the project take?
Smaller projects finish in days; larger builds with covers, kitchens, or structural work take longer. We give you a firm timeline with your estimate, not a guess, and we hold to it.
Will it stand up to our weather?
That is the whole point of how we build. Storm season runs June through November here, so everything we install is anchored and engineered for wind, and we choose materials that handle humidity instead of soaking it up.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Big Easy Patios is a licensed and insured Louisiana contractor. We pull the permits your parish requires and put the full scope in writing, so there are no surprises mid-project.
