Frequently Asked Questions About Our Outdoor Living Structures
Thinking about adding a patio cover, carport, sunroom, or screen room to your Charlotte-area home or business? Below, we answer the questions we hear most often from homeowners and business owners across Charlotte, NC. If you don't see your question here, contact Night and Day Patio Covers directly, and our team will walk you through it.
Are you a licensed contractor?
Yes. Night and Day Patio Covers is a locally owned and licensed home improvement contractor. Our team handles residential and commercial projects throughout the Charlotte area.
Do your structures include lighting?
Most of our patio covers, screen rooms, and applicable carport builds include integrated lighting as part of the design. Built-in lighting extends the usability of your space well into the evening and adds safety and ambiance after dark.
How long does a patio cover installation take?
Because we build with aluminum, installation moves faster and creates less disruption than traditional wood construction. Exact timelines depend on the size and design of your project, so we provide a specific estimate during your consultation.
Will my patio cover hold up in North Carolina storms?
Our aluminum patio covers are engineered to withstand high humidity, heavy rain, and hurricane-season winds while keeping their appearance and structural integrity intact.
Can a patio cover work for a commercial property?
Yes. We design patio covers for both residential backyards and commercial spaces such as business courtyards and outdoor seating areas.
What carport configurations do you offer?
We build custom aluminum carports in both freestanding and attached configurations, sized to fit your property and vehicle needs.
Are carports suitable for multi-unit or commercial properties?
Absolutely. Our carports work well for single-family homes, businesses, and multi-unit properties that need reliable, year-round vehicle coverage.
What's the difference between a sunroom and a screen room?
A sunroom is a fully enclosed, weather-resistant living space that extends your home's usable square footage year-round. A screen room, by contrast, stays open-air while keeping pests out. We help you decide which option fits your goals and budget during your consultation.
Can a sunroom be used year-round?
Yes. Sunrooms are designed to give you a comfortable, protected living space regardless of season, unlike an open patio cover.
What does a screen room protect against?
Our screened enclosures reduce exposure to mosquitoes, termites, and palmetto bugs while creating a shaded, safe environment for kids, pets, and guests.
Can a screen room be added to an existing patio?
In many cases, yes. We evaluate your current outdoor space and design a screen enclosure that fits your existing footprint whenever possible.
