Shade, Shelter, and a Better Way to Enjoy the Outdoors

Covered Decks & Patio Roofs in North Carolina

More Use, Less Exposure

Why Covered Decks Make Sense in NC

North Carolina sees heat, humidity, and plenty of rain—making uncovered decks hard to enjoy year-round. A patio roof solves that. We build structures that block UV rays, divert water runoff, and offer shade where you need it most. Our designs range from simple shed roofs to vaulted gables with finished ceilings and lighting. Whether you're covering part of your deck or the entire thing, we build it to last.

Built to Handle Rain, Heat, and Wind

Weather-Resistant Patio Roofs Built for NC Conditions

A roof that leaks or wobbles defeats the purpose. We anchor our deck covers to existing structures or freestanding posts using hurricane-rated hardware and sealed connections. Every roof is pitched for drainage, flashed to prevent leaks, and braced to withstand wind loads. Whether it’s a freestanding pavilion or a roof tied into your home’s fascia, we build it to meet NC’s structural codes.

  • Anchored posts and rafter spans engineered for load

  • Gutter systems and drainage options available

  • Roofing material matched to home or deck finish

Choose a Style That Complements Your Home

Gable, Shed, Flat, or Custom Framed Covers

We don’t do cookie-cutter covers. Our team builds gable roofs with cathedral ceilings, low-profile shed roofs for modern looks, and flat or hipped structures for clean lines. We also offer tongue-and-groove ceilings, recessed lighting, and exposed beams to enhance the finish. Whether your home is craftsman, colonial, or contemporary, we design covered decks that look like they were always meant to be there.

Optional Upgrades for Function & Comfort

Add Lights, Fans, Heaters, and More

A patio roof is the foundation for an all-season space. We offer integrated upgrades like dimmable lighting, outdoor fans, infrared heaters, and screened enclosures to take your space to the next level. Want an outdoor kitchen underneath? Need electrical access or sound wiring? No problem. We’ll coordinate it all during framing to make your roof more than just cover—it becomes comfort.

Stand-Alone or Integrated Builds

We Cover Existing Decks or Build New Covered Spaces

Have a deck you want to cover? We’ll inspect the frame to ensure it can support a roof—or modify it if needed. Starting fresh? We’ll design the entire deck and roof system together for a seamless finish. We handle permits, structural plans, and HOA paperwork so everything’s ready to build and built to last. Whether freestanding or attached, your new roof will be rock-solid.
