Our San Clemente patio cover process
After your inquiry we come to your home for a site measure and design review. Once you approve materials and layout, we prepare permit drawings, submit plans to the City of San Clemente, and coordinate inspections through project completion. We keep one project manager as your single point of contact to simplify scheduling, submittals, and on‑site work. ([jrdconstruction.us](https://www.jrdconstruction.us/patio-covers-san-clemente/))

Materials & coastal considerations
