What Velaro Is

A motorized aluminum louvered roof, engineered for Southern California — installed by the only crew with a 5-Star Lifetime Guarantee.

Velaro is our premium product line: powder-coated aluminum louvers that rotate up to 170°. Open them for sun, close them for shade, tilt them at any angle in between. Rain hits the closed louvers and drains through integrated gutters. Smart-home integrated. Rated for high winds. Built to outlast the house.

1
Aluminum louvers, motorized. Rotate 170° in seconds. Sealed seams keep the rain out when closed.
2
Engineered for SoCal heat + Santa Ana wind. Wind-rated, sun-stable powder coat that won't chalk or fade.
3
Smart-home integrated. Remote, wall switch, Alexa, HomeKit. Rain sensors close the roof automatically.
4
Installed by our own crews — never subs. Backed by the only 5-Star Lifetime Guarantee in the industry.
The Velaro Warranty Stack

7/17/27-year layered warranty — plus our 5-Star Lifetime Guarantee on the install.

Most "lifetime warranties" cover the metal and nothing else. We layer a Velaro product warranty and our own lifetime install guarantee — so every part of your roof is covered by someone.

🗣️

Voice + app control

"Alexa, open the patio roof." App scenes for morning coffee, afternoon shade, evening dinner. Geofence triggers welcome you home.

💡

Integrated lighting

Dimmable LED strip lighting tucked into the louver beams. Warm white, color, or scene-controlled.

🔥

Heating & audio (optional)

Mount infrared heaters and weatherized speakers directly into the structure. Wired clean, factory-finished.

📐

Multi-zone scheduling

Run each zone independently. Open the dining area, close the lounge. Schedule by time of day, sun position, or weather.

Velaro · Frequently Asked

The questions every Velaro buyer asks before they commit.

What's the actual price range on a Velaro build?+
Velaro Luxe (single zone, ~400 sq ft) starts around $20K. Velaro Grand (multi-zone, smart-home integrated) is most popular at $35K–$60K. Velaro Prima (estate-scale, 800+ sq ft, full integration) typically runs $60K–$90K+. Our four most recent Velaro builds: $91K, $87K, $65K, $51K. Your free in-home consultation includes an exact written quote — no deposit needed.
How is Velaro different from a regular louvered cover?+
Three things: (1) Motorization — Velaro louvers rotate up to 170° on a motorized mechanism, not a manual crank. (2) Smart-home integration — Alexa, HomeKit, rain sensors, scheduling, scenes. (3) Engineering — wind-rated structure, sealed seams, integrated drainage that hides inside the frame. Cheaper louvered systems skip all three.
What happens if the motor fails years from now?+
Motors are covered for 7 years under the Velaro product warranty. After year 7, the install side stays covered for life by our 5-Star Lifetime Guarantee, which means we'll come back and replace the motor at our cost on labor — you only pay the part. Most motors run 10–15+ years without issue.
Do you handle permits and HOA approval?+
Yes — included. Velaro builds typically require both a city permit and HOA submission. We've worked with nearly every HOA in Riverside, Orange, San Bernardino, and LA Counties, so we know which boards want which paperwork. Plan on 2–4 weeks for approvals before install.
How long does a Velaro install take?+
Most Velaro Luxe and Grand builds install in 3–5 days. Velaro Prima estate builds run 1–3 weeks depending on integrations. Same crew every day, daily text updates, site swept clean at end of each day — same as every other MPC install.
Can I integrate Velaro with my existing smart-home setup?+
Yes. Native support for Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and most home-automation hubs. We program your scenes and trigger schedules during install so it's ready to use the day we finish.
I've seen velaroshade.com — are you the same company?+
Yes. Velaro Shade is our premium product line; Mr. Patio Cover is the install company. Every Velaro system on this page is installed by our own crews, backed by our 5-Star Lifetime Guarantee. velaroshade.com has more brand and product-spec detail if you want to go deep.
