Klema Builders removes wood, aluminum and metal-roof patio covers across San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin in 1 to 3 business days, with every panel, beam and post hauled away and the ground left graded or raked. Because the same company builds covered patios and pergolas, an old cover can be replaced with a new one on one quote. Every removal is quoted fixed-price, line by line, after a free in-home consult. ### How much does patio cover removal cost in San Antonio? The price depends on the size of the cover, the roof material (shingle, metal panel, aluminum or polycarbonate), whether it ties into the house roof, and how far the debris has to be carried. You get a written fixed-price quote within 3 to 5 business days after a free site visit, and that quote is the total you pay. ### What happens where the cover was attached to the house? The ledger and flashing where the cover met the house come off last. Repair to the siding, stucco, roof edge or flashing on the house side is handled separately and is not part of the removal price. We point out what that wall and roofline will need at the site visit, so there are no surprises. ### Do I need a permit for patio cover removal in San Antonio? Removing a cover that is attached to the house is partial demolition, which the City of San Antonio handles under a Residential Repair permit when one is required; a freestanding cover under 300 square feet falls under the bulletin's accessory-structure exception. Historic and conservation districts can have their own review. We confirm what your address needs before work starts. Source: City of San Antonio Information Bulletin 106, Demolition and Deconstruction (https://docsonline.sanantonio.gov/FileUploads/dsd/IB106.pdf). ### How long does patio cover removal take? 1 to 3 business days on site for most jobs, from the first board off to the last load hauled and the ground graded or raked. The written quote arrives within 3 to 5 business days of the free site visit, and the start date is set when you sign. ### Are concrete footings removed? No. A standard Klema Builders removal takes down everything above ground and hauls it away; concrete footings, piers and pads stay where they are. Pulling concrete is a different service, handled separately. So is any siding, stucco or flashing repair where a structure was attached to the house. ### Is haul-away included? Yes. Every Klema Builders removal includes hauling away everything that comes down, and leaving the yard graded or raked where the structure stood. There is no separate dumpster for you to rent or load. ### Can you build something new where it was? Yes. Klema Builders builds decks, pergolas, covered patios, patios and pavers, fences and landscaping, so the removal and what comes next can be one quote with one crew. Popular next steps: build a new covered patio, pergola instead, screen it in. Every Klema Builders project comes with pass-through manufacturer warranties (Trex up to 50 years, TimberTech up to 50, Fiberon up to 30, Azenco up to 25) registered in the homeowner's name at the walk-through. ## Related - [Build a new covered patio](https://klemabuilders.com/covered-patios) - [Pergola instead](https://klemabuilders.com/pergolas) - [Screen it in](https://klemabuilders.com/screened-porches) - [All removal services](https://klemabuilders.com/removal) ## Contact - Phone: (210) 974-1420 (Monday to Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM) - Email: hello@klemabuilders.com - Based in: San Antonio, TX - Service area: San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin - Free in-home consult, fixed-price quote line by line within 3 to 5 business days. - Get a quote: https://klemabuilders.com/get-quote
