Covered Patios and Roof Structures

Roofed patios and porches with vaulted ceilings, fans and lighting for dry, shaded use in every season.

A roof turns a patio into a true room. It keeps rain off the furniture, cuts the afternoon sun and lets you use the space on days that would otherwise drive everyone inside. With fans, lighting and a TV or fireplace, a covered patio is a second living room.

We build roofed patios and porches that tie into the house with matching rooflines, rafters, ceilings and finishes. Structures are sized for the span and wind and snow loads, with flashing, gutters and drainage detailed so they stay dry and stay put.

Roof design

Gable, shed and hip roofs each suit different houses. We match the roof pitch, materials and color to the house so the new structure looks original. Tongue-and-groove ceilings, beams and skylights add warmth.

Structure and attachment

Where a roof meets the house, flashing and attachment are critical. We detail ledger boards, waterproofing and downspouts so water never gets behind the siding or into the structure.

Comfort and lighting

Ceiling fans, recessed lights, heaters and outdoor TVs all need power. We plan conduit early and use fixtures rated for damp or wet locations, so the room is usable in all seasons.

Matching the roof

A new roof should look original. We match the pitch, shingles or metal, trim and gutter details of the house, so the covered patio looks designed with it. Interior finishes like beadboard ceilings add warmth.

Questions

Covered Patios FAQ

Do covered patios need permits?

Almost always, because they are structures attached to the home. We plan for permits and inspections.

Can I add a roof over an existing patio?

Often yes, if the slab is sound and level. We check the base and footings.

How do you keep the room cool?

Ventilation, ceiling fans, shade and the right orientation. We plan these from the start.

Can I add screens later?

Yes. We can frame for screens or glass if you want them.

Can a covered patio have a fireplace and TV?

Yes. We plan the structure, wiring and clearances so both work safely.
