For those who enjoy natural light and outdoor spaces, living in the Northwest can sometimes be a frustrating experience. We joke about coming out of hibernation, but it genuinely feels that way when summer finally arrives and we’ve spent the past six months locked indoors. But what if there were a way to alleviate those rainy-weather woes, to enjoy the outdoors come rain or shine, and add considerable value to your home without breaking the bank? Enter the Patio Cover People, specialists in crafting high-quality “daylight” patio covers that blend beauty, function, and durability, helping homeowners enjoy their outdoor spaces year-round.
Patio Cover People was founded in 2013 by a contractor who discovered that this unique product was not only perfect for our Northwest climate, but also in great demand. In 2021, the business was purchased by current owners Chris McReynolds and Tom Moore, lifelong friends with a bold new vision to build on what was already established and take it to the next level. Just four years later, they’ve turned that vision into reality.
I had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Chris McReynolds for the purpose of this article. He was amiable, enthusiastic, and very well-versed in all aspects of the business. According to Chris, three key factors have led to their current status as the Northwest’s #1 Patio Cover Company: restructuring their business model to bring installations in-house, relocating to a more central location in Wilsonville, and expanding their zero-pressure sales team. With their own dedicated installation crew, they’ve been able to strengthen customer service while maintaining uncompromising quality standards. Their new office and showroom in Wilsonville not only allows them to serve a broader customer base, but also showcase their products in person. And by building a more robust sales team who are genuinely as happy to provide information and/or demonstrations as they are to make sales, Patio Cover People has earned its extraordinary reputation by being extraordinary.
Instead of treating projects as one-time transactions, Patio Cover People focuses on building long-lasting relationships. Chris stated that many people start small but are so pleased with the results that they return to add on. From that standpoint, the goal is simple: impress customers so thoroughly that they wouldn’t even consider calling anyone else. The acrylic panels come with a 30-year warranty, and estimates are delivered on the spot, before they leave your property. Whether you’re looking for a patio cover, a vertical retractable shade, or a full enclosure, they can literally transform your patio into a beautiful year-round sanctuary.
Why stay cooped up inside your dark, stuffy house just because it’s raining? Call Patio Cover People today and start enjoying your little slice of the outdoors, regardless of the weather!
