Consumer Feedback

Carlos G., Los Angeles, CA

We knew we wanted a unique patio cover design, but weren't sure how to bring our vision to life. Hiring a CAPCC certified specialist made all the difference - their expertise and attention to detail at every stage was well worth it. We absolutely love our new outdoor space!

Maria S., Riverside, CA

“I’d been warned about contractors who only had "on the job training" but no other accountability, so I searched for someone certified, and it was well worth it. Our contractor explained every step, had specific expertise in pulling permits in dozens of different cities, and passed inspection the first time. They also helped us avoid other pitfalls that could have cost us a lot of money as well. We’ve hosted three family parties under it already, and I never worry about leaks or safety.”

Angela T., San Diego, CA

“The last contractor I hired years ago left me with problems. This time, I went with a Certified Contractor. They had insurance, training, and a clear contract. Everything went smoothly, and I recommend certification to all my neighbors.”

James & Linda P., Sacramento, CA

“We were shopping around for patio covers and felt overwhelmed. Choosing a Certified Contractor made it simple. They handled the HOA approval, showed us material samples, and gave us a clear timeline. The installation team was professional and clean, and the warranty gives us peace of mind we might not have if we had gone another direction.”

FAQs

Your CAPCC Certified Contractor Questions, Answered Clearly and Concisely!

1. What does it mean if a contractor is certified by the California Alliance of Patio Cover Contractors (CAPCC)?

Certification means the contractor has met strict standards for licensing, insurance, workmanship, and ethical business practices. They’ve been vetted by CAPCC to ensure they follow California’s building codes and industry best practices.

2. How is a CAPCC-certified contractor different from any other licensed contractor?

While all contractors must be licensed to operate legally, CAPCC-certified contractors go a step further. They’re reviewed for ongoing compliance, customer satisfaction, and quality assurance, not just the basic state requirements.

3. Does hiring a CAPCC-certified contractor protect me as a homeowner?

Yes. Certification gives you added peace of mind because it means your contractor carries proper insurance, follows safety and code regulations, and has a proven track record of successful installations.

4. How does CAPCC verify contractors before certification?

The alliance reviews contractor licenses, checks liability and workers’ compensation insurance, examines references, and monitors past customer experiences. Only contractors who pass all these checks are certified.

5. Will I pay more for a CAPCC-certified contractor?

The majority of certified contractors offer competitive pricing. The difference is in the value—you’re investing in a professional who has proven reliability, which can save you from costly mistakes or repairs later.

6. What happens if I have a problem with a CAPCC-certified contractor?

CAPCC-certified contractors are held accountable to the alliance’s standards. If an issue arises, homeowners can reach out to CAPCC for support and resolution assistance.

7. Do CAPCC-certified contractors offer warranties?

Yes. Certified Alliance Contractors typically provide more comprehensive written warranties for both labor and materials. CAPCC ensures warranty promises are honored and clearly communicated.

Online reviews can be helpful but sometimes inconsistent. CAPCC certification is based on verifiable standards, not just opinions. It’s a more reliable way to ensure your contractor is qualified and accountable.

Yes. Certified contractors are experienced with pergolas, solid covers, lattice designs, insulated roofs, and custom builds. The certification ensures they can handle a wide range of patio cover solutions.

CAPCC specializes exclusively in patio covers in California, which means their standards are tailored to this industry. This makes their certification more relevant and trustworthy for homeowners than broad, general contractor groups.
