Laguna Niguel, California — Residential Patio Cover Project

Project Overview
This Laguna Niguel family wanted their new pool deck to double as a true outdoor living room: full rain cover, cooler shade on hot afternoons, and evening lighting that feels built‑in—not added on. The structure needed to run the length of the rear façade, clear doors and windows, and work around an outdoor kitchen and kid‑friendly lounge zones.
Our Solution
We designed a wall‑mounted aluminum pergola finished in charcoal powder‑coat to complement the home’s palette. Instead of an open lattice, we specified a solid insulated roof for year‑round protection and heat reduction. Across the ceiling we integrated continuous recessed linear LED strips, creating a clean architectural glow for dinners and late‑night hangs by the pool.
Posts were located to respect traffic paths, align with the paver pattern, and frame the grill area. A discrete gutter system routes water to the perimeter and down through the posts, keeping the deck dry and the look minimal.
Highlights
All‑aluminum frame — no rot, no repainting; coastal‑grade finish for OC’s marine air
Solid insulated panels — quieter in the rain, cooler shade at midday, 100% cover for furniture
Recessed linear LED lighting — warm, dimmable lines integrated into the ceiling (remote/app‑ready)
Integrated drainage — hidden gutters and downspouts inside posts
Family‑friendly layout — clear zones for dining, sofa seating, and play; unobstructed walkways to the pool
Future‑ready — concealed chases for optional heaters, fans, or screens
  • HOA & permitting support — drawings and coordination included
Result
The backyard now performs like an outdoor great room: daytime shade without glare, crisp evening lighting, and dependable weather protection for year‑round use. The long, low profile visually extends the house, while the charcoal fascia and slim posts keep the look modern and refined.
