Step Four

Project preparation.

Once you approve your proposal, we’ll begin preparing your project. This includes submitting for permits when required, ordering your materials, and coordinating the details of your installation.

We schedule your installation only after permitting is complete and material availability is confirmed, allowing us to provide a realistic installation date rather than make promises we may not be able to keep.

We’ll keep you informed throughout the process and contact you as soon as your installation date is ready to be confirmed.

Step Five

Installation day.

On installation day, a TLA USA representative will meet with you and our dedicated installation crew to review the project before work begins. Our crew will then complete your patio cover with careful attention to the approved plans, clean workmanship, and the details of your proposal.

Once the installation is complete, we’ll review the finished project with you and answer any remaining questions.
