Custom Patio Covers & Pergolas for Treasure Valley Homes
ShadeWorks designs and installs custom outdoor living structures built for Idaho weather, comfort, and year-round use.
Treasure Valley weather can bring summer heat, winter snow, high winds, and everything in between. Our outdoor living structures are designed and manufactured with Idaho conditions in mind—so they don’t just look good on installation day. They’re built for years of life outside.
Treasure Valley weather can be extreme-scorching summers, strong winds, heavy snow, and everything in between. Our patio covers are built to handle it all so you can enjoy your outdoor space in every season.
BUILT FOR EXTREME TEMPERATURES
Keeps your patio cooler during summer while reducing seasonal temperature swings.
PROTECTION THROUGH IDAHO WEATHER
Engineered to withstand strong winds, heavy snow loads, and changing Idaho weather.
A PATIO COVER YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE
Enjoy a comfortable outdoor space while protecting your furniture, outdoor kitchen, and more.
I had a house-attached pergola constructed on my home by ShadeWorks and what an upgrade! It’s beautiful, professional, and sturdy. The entire process was stress-free as they were responsive, timely, professional, and courteous. They even took care of the city code inspection.
I couldn’t be more pleased with ShadeWorks! From consultation to installation, it was a seamless process. All members of the crew were outstanding. I received daily emails informing me of the arrival times and work being performed which helped immensely.
ShadeWorks is the best. We are a repeat customer. We had them install a similar cover in our previous home and after downsizing, we had them install a new one on our new home.
I highly recommend them. Very easy to work with. Quick process and they do all the work for permits. They also helped me with drawings to present to my HOA
We’re locals, just like you. Our team is passionate about craftsmanship, clear communication, and building outdoor spaces you’ll love for years to come.

Treasure Valley Patio Cover & Pergola FAQs
Common questions from Treasure Valley homeowners.
How much does a custom patio cover cost in Treasure Valley?
Pricing depends on size, materials, design, and features like lighting, fans, or motorized louvers. We provide free in-home estimates with custom pricing.
How long does installation take?
Most standard patio cover and pergola installations are completed in just 1-2 days depending on project complexity.

Treasure Valley gets intense summer heat, wind, and winter snow. Load-bearing aluminum patio covers and pergolas are a durable low-maintenance option built for these conditions.
