Wind Damage on Your Patio Cover or Pergola: What to Check and What We Repair

Written November 9, 2026.

Quick answer: After a Las Vegas windstorm, look from the ground for missing end caps, loose roof panels or fasteners, and gaps in the gutter or trim. City Seamless repairs patio covers and pergolas, and the on-site estimate is free. Call or text 725-502-3114, and send photos if you can.

How hard does the wind blow here?

Hard enough to move loose parts. Five times in the 2026 monsoon, all from August 9 to August 13, the weather service warned of severe thunderstorms with gusts of 50 to 60 mph in parts of the valley. On August 12 its storm reports logged a 71 mph gust at Nellis Air Force Base, the strongest in its reports for the valley.

What can wind do to a patio cover?

  • End caps can blow off. The caps on the ends of the rafters and the lattice are small and light, and a strong gust can blow loose ones off.
  • Panels or fasteners can work loose. Wind can push up under the roof. A loose fastener can let a panel move, rattle or leak.
  • The cover's gutter or trim can come apart. The gutter at the front of a solid or insulated cover, and the trim pieces at its edges, can pull loose at a joint.
  • Privacy screens. Side screens can catch the wind like a sail.

Repair, re-lid or a new cover?

Ask us about a repair for blown-off end caps, a damaged gutter on an insulated patio cover or damaged privacy screens.

If the roof itself is old, leaking or faded, a re-lid puts new roof panels on the frame you have. With a bent frame, sagging beams, or posts that are loose or damaged at the base, a whole new cover is usually the better choice. We check the frame at the estimate and tell you which way to go.

What should I look for after a windstorm?

  • Count the missing end caps. From the ground, look for missing caps at the ends of the rafters. Keep any you find in the yard.
  • Look for lifted panels. From the ground, look along the roof line for a panel that sits higher than the rest or moves in the wind.
  • Check the gutter and trim. Look for a gap at a joint or a piece hanging down.
  • Check the posts. Is each post straight, and is its base solid?
  • Take photos. From the ground, take photos of the damage, the posts and the whole cover, and text them to 725-502-3114.

Keep off the top of the cover; aluminum panels are not intended for walking. If a piece is hanging loose and could fall, keep people out from under it until it is fixed.

Is storm damage under warranty?

No, not when a severe weather event caused it. The manufacturer warranties leave storm damage out, and our post on Alumawood and Elitewood warranties explains what they do cover. If you see loose fasteners or another workmanship problem after a storm, call us.
