Editorial Review
Our Take on Desert Sun Patios Ltd
A long-running pergola, patio cover and sunroom specialist with a showroom you can walk through. It covers and encloses decks rather than building them.

Company Background
About Desert Sun Patios Ltd
Desert Sun Patios Ltd earns its place here for what goes on top of a deck rather than the deck itself. The family-owned company says it marked its 20th anniversary in 2019, and it sells and installs pergolas, patio covers, screen rooms and sunrooms from a showroom at C8, 6215 3 St SE, just east of Chinook Centre.
The product list is long. Pergolas are heavy duty aluminum with a baked-on primer and finish coat, in several colours, with a stamped cedar pattern option called Ultra-Lattice, and the company estimates two to three days to install one. Patio covers and hybrid patio covers add a solid roof, screen rooms keep bugs out, and sunrooms with tempered glass turn a deck into a room you can use most of the year. It also builds covers for carports and park model trailers and sells DIY pergola kits.
The warranty page says customers get a 20 year manufacturer warranty, that all work will comply with the Alberta building code, and that workmanship is guaranteed for one year from completion. The site shows a BBB accredited business badge and offers a price match on identical materials. Estimates and site measures are free within 40 km of the city limits.
Google shows 4.8 stars from 92 Google reviews, read November 11, 2026. Reviewers name Bob, the owner, for listening closely, and Jessica in the office. One 2025 reviewer said a new shelter leaked and the first repair did not fix it all, though the company sent a crew back to redo the joint at the house and the leaks stopped.
Desert Sun Patios Ltd suits homeowners who already have a sound deck and want shade, a roof or a sunroom over it. It does not build deck framing, footings or composite decking, so you would need a separate deck builder for that. Before booking, ask whether your design is attached to the house, since the City treats an attached roof as an addition with its own permit, and ask for the workmanship term in writing.

Does Desert Sun Patios build decks in Calgary?
No. Desert Sun Patios installs aluminum pergolas, patio covers, screen rooms and sunrooms on or over an existing deck or patio, but its site does not offer deck framing or decking. If your deck needs rebuilding, have a deck builder do that first.

What warranty comes with a Desert Sun patio cover or pergola?
The company passes on a 20 year manufacturer warranty and guarantees its workmanship for one year from completion, with all work built to the Alberta building code.
