Patio covers and trellises in Bakersfield
Gabriel Mariscal builds patio covers, pergolas and trellises for Bakersfield backyards. A solid patio cover gives full shade; an open pergola or trellis gives filtered shade and a place for vines. Either way, it is the difference between a backyard you look at and one you sit in from May to October.

What changes the price
Every patio covers & trellises job is priced after Gabriel sees it, and the price is written into your contract before work starts. These are the things that move it:
| Factor | Effect |

| Size and height | ± |
| Solid cover or open pergola | ± |
| Attached to the house or freestanding | ± |
| Permit requirements | ± |
Shade is a building material here
With Bakersfield summer afternoons regularly over 100°F, a patio without shade is a patio nobody uses. Placement matters: a cover on the west side of the house blocks the worst of the afternoon sun, and attached covers usually need a permit.
Gabriel is based at 5008 Gaylene Ave in southeast Bakersfield and takes patio covers & trellises jobs across Bakersfield and Kern County.

Patio Covers & Trellises questions
Pergola or solid patio cover?
A solid cover gives full shade and keeps rain off. A pergola gives filtered shade and looks lighter. For the hottest Bakersfield afternoons, a solid cover keeps the patio coolest.
Do I need a permit for a patio cover?
Attached patio covers and larger freestanding structures usually need a permit from the City of Bakersfield or Kern County. Gabriel will confirm for your project.
Can you add a trellis for vines?
Yes. A trellis can be built on its own or added to the side of a pergola so plants have something to climb.
