Solid roofs over the patio, attached to the house or freestanding, so you stay dry and shaded in any weather.
A pergola gives dappled shade. A covered patio gives a real roof. When you want to sit outside in the rain, keep furniture dry or run a kitchen and TV under cover, a patio roof is the answer. It extends the house into the yard and adds usable space without a full addition.
We design patio roofs in gable, hip, shed and flat styles, tied into the house or freestanding. We choose shingles, metal or insulated panels, frame with solid posts and beams and handle flashing and drainage with care. We match rooflines and trim to the house so the new roof looks original. The roof is the biggest visual change you can make to the back of a house, so we spend time on proportions. Roof pitch, overhang, beam size and column style all affect how the structure looks next to your windows and siding. We sketch a few options, compare them against your existing roofline and choose the one that feels natural, then build it with careful flashing so the connection to the wall stays dry.
A shed roof is simple and economical. A gable roof matches many house styles and gives height. A hip roof is sturdy and elegant. Flat roofs with a slight pitch suit modern homes.
Attaching to the house saves posts and gives easy access, but needs proper flashing. Freestanding structures avoid the house wall and suit distant spots.
Beadboard, stained wood or painted ceilings finish the space. Fans, lights and speakers can be built in.
A solid roof blocks sun and light. Skylights, polycarbonate panels or an open-rafter section can bring light back in.
