Ontario Elite Patio Covers provides professional wood patio covers in Ontario, CA for residential and commercial properties across the Inland Empire. Timber still makes the best-looking patio structure, and in Ontario it asks more of you than aluminum does. Two local conditions drive that: very dry air for most of the year, and wind that never stops working at the connections.
Dry air is what checks and splits a beam. Our summers pull moisture out of timber quickly, and a section that arrived reasonably wet will shrink, cup and open along the grain across its first couple of years. Kiln-dried material and sealing all six faces before assembly, including the cut ends, is not optional here.
Wind is what loosens it. Every gust cycles the frame slightly, and in wood that movement slowly backs out lag bolts and opens the fit around them. We use through-bolts with washers where the detail allows rather than lags into end grain, and we ask clients to have the connections checked and retorqued after two winters.
Post bases are the failure everybody sees too late. A post sitting directly on concrete wicks water at its base and rots from the bottom up, and a rotten base has no uplift capacity at all when the wind finally arrives. Standoff bases that hold the post clear of the slab, bolted into the pier, solve both at once.
Fire is worth raising because it is real here. Offshore wind events and wildfire arrive in the same weather, and ember fall reaches neighbourhoods well away from any burn. Heavy timber performs better than light framing, and there are treated products that help, but a wood roof is combustible and that should be a knowing choice.
None of this is an argument against wood. It is an argument for buying it for the reason it is worth buying, which is the appearance and the feel of a real beam, and for budgeting the maintenance instead of being surprised by it. Composite gives you the look without the schedule.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and 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 wood patio covers
The difference between wood patio covers that lasts and wood patio covers 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.
