About Covered Patios and Porches
A covered patio gives you shade, shelter from rain and a spot for the TV, the fireplace and the good sofa. The roof has to tie into the house properly, drain away from walls and match the style of the home.
We design the roof structure, the ceiling, the fans and lights, the floor and the connection to the house, and we coordinate with the trades that run power and gas.
