The difference between a patio cover and a covered patio is mostly trivial and the two are often interchangeable. To some people and contractors there are however differences between the two.
Patio Cover - A patio cover typically covers an existing slab made of concrete or other foundation materials such as brick or flagstone. Uncovered concrete backyard patios are a common feature of new homes. Adding the cover will allow you to enjoy the added living space in rain or shine.
Covered Patio - A covered patio project typically starts when a customer has no existing slab or other foundation to accommodate a patio cover. In these cases Lone Star will provide a more thorough quote for services which will include the patio foundation of your choice.
