Porch, deck, and patio roof additions today are nothing like the porch or patio covers you may remember or imagine on your grandparents’ home. In today’s marketplace, deck and patio roof additions are beautifully crafted with design in mind. These sophisticated and luxurious roofs are a beautiful extension of your home, making it look more spacious and upscale. For example, DeckTec’s roofs often feature the rich and substantial look of glulam beams, typically seen in modern churches and office buildings.

1. Control the Elements

You built your deck for relaxation and entertainment in mind; however, adding a roof addition will greatly increase the amount of time and enjoyment you will be able to experience. No matter the weather, you will continue to enjoy your space in the heat of the summer or during an afternoon rain shower or thunderstorm. Increasingly popular infrared outdoor heaters can be integrated into the structure to take the chill out of the morning or evening air and extend your outdoor living seasons in both spring and fall. Additionally, your roof will provide protection for your deck, decreasing maintenance and protecting your outdoor furnishings from moisture and sun damage, while eliminating the hassle of dealing with vinyl slipcovers and storage.

2. Ability to Bring the Indoors Out

Putting up your feet and settling back with a glass of wine or an ice-cold beer on a hot summer day sounds more appealing than being cooped up indoors. Barbecues, holiday parties, family gatherings, and game days are easy and comfortable on your back deck or covered patio with a roof addition. Today’s flat-screen televisions can be easily mounted on your back wall for your outdoor media entertainment. In addition, drop-down shades or curtains can block out the harsh light and provide privacy. By adding a relatively inexpensive ceiling fan with light that can be controlled by a remote control, you won’t need any fancy wiring. This will allow you to extend the use of your outdoor living space into the late evening hours.

3. Enhance Your Indoor Environment

Darkening blinds and curtains can now be kept open or removed to allow in indirect light and create a feeling of a bigger home. By blocking the damaging direct sun, your interior woodwork and fabrics will be protected, and your home will be more comfortable and pleasant. Furthermore, preventing the harsh sun light reduces the demand for air conditioning, permitting many more opportunities to allow fresh air to flow throughout the home, creating a natural, pleasing environment.

4. High Return on Investment

These are just some of the many (often overlooked) examples of how a quality patio and deck roof addition can transform your home and lifestyle. Ultimately, a roof addition creates one of the most functional and appealing living spaces in the home, which is why it has one of the highest return on investment of any home improvement project. With a custom deck or patio roof addition, you will no longer be at the mercy of Colorado’s ever-changing weather!
