On Balance, Colorado’s climate is as wonderful as it is unpredictable. Warm days with scorching sun can give way to either light afternoon showers or heavy thunderstorms.

It seems to me that the older homes of my parents’ and grandparents’ day had covered porches and patio covers as a standard. In my youth, I remember a lot of summer afternoons and evenings spent gathered relaxing, dining, and listening to ballgames in the comfort of these covered, protected outdoor spaces.

Over the years, builders stopped building covered porches and deck and patio covers on homes to save on costs, which left homeowners limited in their outdoor living enjoyment. Today consumers are looking to expand their outdoor living experience by adding decks and patio roof additions.

A great custom deck for your backyard space is a great start to creating your ideal outdoor living room. However, the roof addition is what will help that space become more functional, which will allow you to relax and entertain in and fully enjoy your space without regards or worry about the ever-changing weather.

Imagine relaxing outdoors with friends and family with a glass of wine while watching a movie or barbecuing on the back deck while following your favorite team. A beautiful roof addition will make that possible and expand your outdoor leisure living.
