Planning ranges from the sources named. Only a written estimate for your yard is a real price.
Every number here comes from the source named beside it: homeyou (Broken Arrow page, updated Sep 22, 2026), Angi (updated Sep 23, 2026) or HomeGuide (pergola guide, last updated Oct 2024, checked Nov 3, 2026). Rows marked ESTIMATE are our multiplication or division of those figures. Nothing here is a quote, and we don’t set prices.
Step 1: Measure the Area You Want Covered
Multiply length by width. A 10′ × 20′ slab is 200 sq ft. Many people cover a bit more than the slab so chairs at the edge stay in the shade. Afternoon sun comes in low, so a west-facing patio may need extra depth or a side screen.
Step 2: Per-Square-Foot Figures
| Type | Published figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Metal patio cover / awning, Broken Arrow | $1,857–$2,467 for 215 sq ft (ESTIMATE about $8.64–$11.47 / sq ft) | homeyou |
| Aluminum patio cover (Alumawood-type), installed | $18–$55 / sq ft | HomeGuide |
| Pergola, installed | $10–$65 / sq ft | HomeGuide |
| Louvered pergola roof, manual | $45–$110 / sq ft | HomeGuide |
| Louvered roof, motorized | $55–$125 / sq ft | HomeGuide |
| Louvered roof, motorized with weather sensors | $75–$175 / sq ft | HomeGuide |
The Broken Arrow figure is for a basic metal cover or awning. HomeGuide’s aluminum range includes heavier systems. That’s why the two don’t line up.
Step 3: Worked Examples
| Project | Math | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 12′ × 20′ (240 sq ft) basic metal cover | 240 × $8.64–$11.47 | ESTIMATE $2,074–$2,753 |
| 12′ × 20′ aluminum cover | 240 × $18–$55 | ESTIMATE $4,320–$13,200 |
| 12′ × 16′ (192 sq ft) manual louvered roof | 192 × $45–$110 | ESTIMATE $8,640–$21,120 |
| 12′ × 12′ pergola | Published size price | $1,450–$5,750 kit installed, $4,300–$9,350 custom (HomeGuide) |
Estimates are our arithmetic on published per-foot figures, before permits, footings, electrical, fans, gutters or screens.
Step 4: Add-Ons to Ask About
- New footings or slab work when the existing concrete is thin, cracked or too small.
- Electrical for ceiling fans, lights or heaters. This is usually a licensed electrician’s work and may need its own permit.
- Gutters and downspouts to keep runoff away from the slab and foundation.
- Roof tie-in on attached covers, including flashing and any shingle repair.
- Screens or shade panels added later. See screened patios.
- Permit fees, usually passed through by the contractor.
Compare Quotes on the Same Scope
| Ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What size and roof type is included, exactly? | Quotes are only comparable at the same square footage and material. |
| Who pulls the permit, and is the fee included? | Unpermitted structures can cause problems when you sell. |
| How are posts anchored? New footings or into the slab? | This decides how the structure handles Oklahoma wind. |
| How is it attached to the house, and who repairs the roof if it leaks? | Get the leak warranty in writing for attached covers. |
| Is anything roofing work, and are you registered for it? | Oklahoma registers roofing contractors through the Construction Industries Board. |
| What warranty covers the frame, finish and labor? | Manufacturer and installer warranties are separate. |
| Proof of liability insurance? | Oklahoma has no statewide general contractor license, so insurance and references matter. |
