Patio Covers Offer Great Shade for Backyards in Clearwater, FL & Throughout the Tampa Bay Area

While Florida is known as the Sunshine State, sometimes that sunshine can be a little too much. During the summer months, the combination of intense heat, humidity, and limited breeze can make spending time outdoors uncomfortable, even for those who love the warm weather. Many homeowners find themselves avoiding their patios or outdoor seating areas during the hottest parts of the day. Patio covers offer a practical and attractive solution, creating a cooler, shaded environment that allows you to enjoy your backyard more often. With the right structure in place, you can relax outside, entertain guests, or simply unwind in a comfortable space that feels like an extension of your home.

RollShield is the company to turn to if you want a well-made, beautifully designed patio cover installed in your backyard. We serve homeowners in Clearwater, Florida, and throughout the Tampa Bay area, providing products that combine durability, style, and long-term value. Thanks to our partnership with Renaissance Patio Products, we offer patio covers that not only elevate your outdoor living area but are also engineered to hold up against the demands of Florida’s climate. Whether you need a shaded area for lounging, outdoor dining, or a quiet place to enjoy the breeze, our patio covers provide reliable year-round comfort. You’ll have the choice between:

Contempo Patio Covers

Contempo patio covers feature solid aluminum roofs that block direct sunlight, giving you full shade and a noticeably cooler space beneath. Their sculpted headers, decorative columns, and elegant truss ends add architectural detail that enhances your home’s exterior. These structures can be attached directly to your home or installed as a freestanding feature anywhere in your backyard, making them a versatile option for nearly any outdoor layout. Homeowners often choose this style when they want a clean, modern look paired with maximum sun protection.

Fresco Patio Covers

Fresco patio covers are designed with translucent polycarbonate roofing that allows 70% of sunlight to pass through, creating a bright, inviting space without the full intensity of direct sun. This balance of shade and natural light makes the area feel open and refreshing, ideal for morning coffee, reading, or afternoon gatherings. Despite the light transmission, these covers still reduce heat transfer by up to 30%, helping your patio stay comfortable even on the hottest days. The Fresco design is perfect for those who want warmth and brightness without sacrificing comfort.

No matter which patio cover best suits your home, you can rely on exceptional engineering and premium materials. The patio covers we install feature aircraft-grade extruded aluminum beams, rust-resistant screws, and reinforced connectors designed for long-term stability. These components are built to withstand constant sun exposure, heavy rain, and strong winds—important qualities in a region known for unpredictable storms. All Renaissance patio covers meet the demanding building codes required for the highest wind zone in the country, Miami-Dade County, ensuring dependable performance and safety.

Customer Reviews

With decades of trusted service in the Tampa Bay area, RollShield has built a strong reputation for excellence. Read what our customers have to say about their experience with us.

"This was our second home using RollShield. Our sales person was James and he got everything started for us. The items we wanted were verified and ordered in a timely manner. When everything was ready our installers arrived, removed the old awnings and completed the installation. Due to our construction they made an on site modification and that section came out perfect. Clean up was exceptional. I apologise for not having their names but I know they were from Albania. We would also like to mention and thank Emma, Kashana and our punch list guy Ron Branch . Thank you to all."

"I had an excellent experience with this company for my hurricane protection needs! Jane May provided outstanding service, demonstrating extensive product knowledge and offering a variety of solutions and options to suit my home. The service was top-notch, the product is high-quality, and the workers did an impeccable job with the installation. The communication from the office was also great, keeping me informed every step of the way. Highly recommend!"

"We needed a service call on shutters installed by a different company probably 25 years ago. Donnie and Josh were on time and I immediately knew that Donnie had been doing this for a long time. He did a little engineering on site and got our old shutters working again! We will be making an appointment to get some new ones made for the front windows which were never protected. Very satisfied!"

Jim R.

"Experience from start to finish with JANE was professional and enjoyable- It’s refreshing having women in these careers. She was up front about lead times which I appreciated. Coming from a service field as well, I understand most of the process is out of the estimators control. I had impact windows installed just in time before the hurricanes start. Not only do I feel safer, my house looks sooo much better!! Thank you thank you!"

"RollShield did a great job installing hurricane shutters on four of our windows. Ron Branch made an excellent impression. He went out of his way to make a special trip to get our installation finalized on time. These are high quality, lockable shutters that can protect against hurricanes and intruders. This is a great addition to a house for both protection and to increase value. Highly recommended."

Duane E.

"Very satisfied with Company performance.
The salesman -Pete- gave us several options for Hurricane screens. We decided to go with Crimsafe Safescape Hurricane screens. The installers - Giliyar and Aaron- were professional and fast( hint - give them a raise). Emma, Pat, Gwen were a big help guiding with permits, schedules, answering questions, etc. Would definitely use Rollshield, LLC again."

Yelena S.

"I had 5 shutters installed late last year. The installation was great, and everything works as advertised, with no callbacks for any installation issues. My salesperson, Jane May, helped throughout the entire process, even when the HOA was being picky, all the way to the end."

John K.

Tampa, FL

"We have relied on Rollshield for over 15 years, having installed their roll-up and hurricane shutters on our home, and they have performed flawlessly through numerous near-miss hurricanes. Their products have stood the test of time and weather, giving us confidence and peace of mind. So, when my wife and I recently decided to add Kevlar hurricane curtains to our lanai, it was an easy decision to turn once again to Rollshield. Although there were some initial miscommunications, the Sales Manager handled the situation promptly and professionally, ensuring everything was resolved to our satisfaction. The installation team did a fabulous job, professional, efficient, and timely. We are pleased with the final result and continue to trust in the quality and service Rollshield provides. I strongly recommend Rollshield for all your shutter and storm protection needs."
