Beware of Alumawood Imitations

How can you tell which product you purchased? It can be confusing because manufacturers produce three different quality grades: Good, Better, and Best. Do you know which grade you received? This uncertainty is further complicated by the fact that most patio cover companies carry products from multiple manufacturers, making it challenging to determine what you’re truly getting.

Unfortunately, it’s common for consumers to receive a lower-grade product than expected. In our industry, salespeople are typically paid on commission, which can lead to pricing inconsistencies. If a salesperson charges you more than the standard price, they often split the extra profit with their employer. Conversely, selling at a lower price reduces their commission. This pay structure can sometimes incentivize dishonesty, as switching customers to a different product often increases profits for the salesperson.

At Factory Direct Patio Covers, we take a different approach. We exclusively provide and install the thickest, highest-grade materials available. The quality you see in our photos is the same quality you can count on for your home installation.
