Ontario Elite Patio Covers provides professional polycarbonate patio roof panels in Ontario, CA for residential and commercial properties across the Inland Empire. This is the retrofit product. Panels go over an existing wood or aluminum frame that is otherwise sound, or onto a new aluminum structure, and you change what the roof does without rebuilding what holds it up. Where somebody has an open patio frame they already like the look of, this is usually the cheapest honest way to make the space work harder.
The numbers are what people buy it for. Clear panel passes roughly ninety percent of visible light while blocking about 99.9 percent of ultraviolet, so the patio stays bright and the furniture, the decking and your skin stop taking the part of the sun that does the damage. Bronze trades some of that light for real shade and, more noticeably out here, for far less glare.
Which tint depends entirely on the elevation. On a west-facing patio, bronze, every time — clear panel over a low afternoon sun gives you a lit ceiling and a squint. Clear earns its place on a north patio, over a walkway, or where the covered area sits against a kitchen or family-room window that would otherwise go dark once the roof goes on.
Now the part worth being blunt about. Light passing through the panel is energy arriving underneath it, so polycarbonate does not give you a cool patio. It stops rain, it stops ultraviolet, it keeps the space bright. It does not stop radiant heat. If sitting outside on a 105-degree August afternoon is the actual goal, an insulated solid panel is the right purchase and we will say so.
Installation is all thermal movement. These panels grow and shrink measurably with temperature, and our daily swing is large, so fastener holes are oversized, gasketed screws are used, and nothing is pinned tight. Panels fixed hard buckle and then split at the fasteners within a couple of seasons. On a retrofit we also check the frame, because a continuous roof loads posts and ledger very differently than an open one did.
Maintenance is easy and visible. Dust that hides on an opaque roof shows on a translucent one immediately, so a hose from above at the end of the dry season is the whole program. Never wipe the surface dry, since grit plus a cloth puts fine scratches into the coating. That coating is the ultraviolet layer, it belongs on the upper face, and installing a panel upside down quietly wastes it.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — foam-core insulated roof panels, powder-coated extruded aluminum, embossed wood-grain composite beams, engineered concrete pier footings, designed uplift hold-down connections, louvered adjustable-pitch systems — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Ontario and nearby communities including Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Chino, Chino Hills.

Materials, equipment and how we do polycarbonate patio roof panels
The difference between polycarbonate patio roof panels that lasts and polycarbonate patio roof panels that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with foam-core insulated roof panels, powder-coated extruded aluminum, embossed wood-grain composite beams, engineered concrete pier footings, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Ontario job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of patio cover work in the Inland Empire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
