Patio Covers with Metal Roofing Panels in Florida

A well-built patio cover extends your living space and protects furniture and flooring from rain and UV. Lucas General Contractors builds patio covers with wood framing and metal roofing panels installed as part of the structure. The result is a solid, long-lasting cover that fits your home and yard.

We serve Florida statewide from our base in LaBelle. Whether you want a simple cover over a back patio or a larger structure that ties into the house, we work with you on size, pitch, and panel type so the build fits your site and budget.

What We Build

• Covered patios with metal roofing panels — Wood posts and beams with metal panel roofing (e.g. Tuff Rib). Keeps rain and sun off your patio without the upkeep of shingles or thatch.
• Attached or freestanding — Covers that tie into the house or stand on their own. We match pitch and trim to your existing structure when attached.
• Custom sizes — From a small sitting area to a full outdoor room. We size the frame and panel layout to your footprint.

For other outdoor structures—pergolas, pavilions, pavilions with thatch or shingle—we have dedicated pages. Patio covers here are specifically wood frame + metal panel roof.

Materials & Build Quality

We use wood post-and-beam construction for the frame. The roof is metal roofing panels—not aluminum patio cover systems. Panels (e.g. Tuff Rib or similar) are installed as the roof system for the structure, so you get a single, cohesive build. Metal panels hold up to rain, sun, and wind and need minimal maintenance. We can coordinate with permits and engineering as needed for your area.

How It Works

1. You send us your location, approximate size, and what you want (cover over existing patio, new footprint, etc.).
2. We reply—usually within 24 hours—and may ask for photos or a site visit.
3. We send a written quote. No surprise fees.
4. We schedule the build and keep you updated until it's done.

Outdoor structures (pavilions, pergolas, gazebos) and wood decks pair well with patio covers—we can discuss a combined scope if you're planning multiple projects.
