Q: How do I find a good patio company?

The examples will show you the quality of the work you can expect and how professional the finished product will be, and contacting previous customers will give you an idea of the service you can expect throughout the process.</div>

Q: Will my patio roof make noise when it rains?

• <div>Aluminum patio roofs can make noise during rainstorms, though how much noise they make depends on how heavy it&rsquo;s raining and if the roof is insulated or not. Light rain falling on your roof might sound soothing but if you live in an area with serious and consistent rainfall, the novelty of the sound might wear off. In any case, the rain you'll hear shouldn't sound louder than a normal conversation or air conditioner, about 50 dB to 55 dB.</div>
