Roofs that extend from your house over the patio, with beams, columns, ceilings and drainage that blend with the home.
A covered patio is the most livable kind of outdoor room, a place you can use in the rain, in the heat of summer and into the cool evenings of fall. A roof extension ties into the house, shares its look and can include a fireplace, a ceiling fan and a TV. Nashville homeowners add covered patios to expand living space without the cost of a full room addition.
Your designer examines how the roof will meet the house, the existing rafters, flashing and gutters, and plans columns, beams, roof pitch and materials. The crew sets footings and columns, frames the roof, integrates it with the house roof, adds flashing and gutters, finishes the ceiling and installs lights and fans. The scope lists the structure, roofing, electrical and permit steps.
The new roof meets the existing roof with careful flashing, so water runs off both without leaks at the joint.
Structural posts and beams are sized for loads and finished in wood, stone, brick or composite to match the home.
Tongue and groove, beadboard and recessed lights make the ceiling feel finished, and fans move air in summer.
Gutters and downspouts carry roof water to a safe place, which protects the patio and the foundation.
