Benefits of an Attached Patio Cover

Coverage

Stepping outside into a protected space may seem nice on a rainy evening but it can be just as critical during the daytime hours throughout the summer months.

Versatility

An attached patio cover can be built to match the home or you can utilize steel, cedar, or accenting stone materials. It’s really a blank canvas that you get to paint.

Extension

Do you ever need some more elbow room? It creates an outdoor living room and essentially becomes an extension of the interior living and dining space.

Durability

Once it’s constructed, an attached patio cover becomes a permanent addition to your home. In fact, our framing crews also spend their days framing new homes.

Attached Patio Cover Design Options

Flat Ceiling Patio Cover

A flat ceiling allows a space to feel far more cozy and intimate. It doesn’t need to be a low ceiling, just one that mirrors the height of the soffit and fascia on the outside of the cover.

Gabled Patio Cover

Adding an open gable, “chickenfoot” or “starburst” can really open things up. It can take a small space and open things up. You’ll just want to consider the orientation of your yard to the sun before making this selection.

Tongue and Groove Ceiling

You have several options for ceilings: painted Hardie, outdoor rated sheetrock, and pine or cedar tongue and groove being the most common. A stained tongue and groove ceiling can be quite the statement.

Attached Patio Cover Installation

1. Surface Prep

We’ll carefully cut back into the existing roof on your home so we can create a new roof line that incorporates your current drainage plan.

2. Tailoring

Each home is different and requires independent thought. Our craftsman will work with your space to ensure all of the site-specific details have been considered.

3. Crafting

When constructing your patio cover, we’re often combining 5 or 6 different materials and will want to make sure each one is installed with the quality we expect.

4. Walkthrough

After we finish coordinating the 5-6 trade partners necessary for your structure, it’s complete and ready to be enjoyed by you and your family.

Attached Patio Cover Costs

As previously mentioned, no attached patio cover is exactly the same as another. At our onsite consultation we’ll provide a comprehensive bid that - in addition to the structure itself - will also include items such as: engineering, permitting, HOA submission, gutters, quality control, material logistics, etc. Maybe more important than any of those items, it will also include communication as we walk through the construction journey together.

We had our pool deck and front sidewalks redone this past week using Allied Outdoor Solutions and their Carvestone overlay product, and the finished product looks incredible. Their crew was probably one of the more professional construction crews that we’ve ever utilized when doing remodel work. We couldn’t be more pleased and feel we’ve definitely added value to our home. Highly recommend these folks.
