Shade, Shelter & Four-Season Enjoyment

Covered Decks & Patio Roofs in Vermont

Built for New England Weather

Deck Roofs That Withstand Vermont’s Seasons

From blizzards to blazing sun, our patio and deck covers are engineered to handle it all. We build using pressure-treated or cedar framing, heavy-duty metal or shingle roofing, and reinforced posts rated for snow loads. Covered decks provide instant protection, reduce deck maintenance, and create a comfortable space to relax year-round. Every roof is tied securely into your home or freestanding with its own support system—always built to local code and tailored to your space.

Custom Roof Structures, Seamless Design

What We Build (and How It Works)

Covered decks and patio roofs aren’t one-size-fits-all. We offer gable, shed, hip, and flat roof styles—matched to your home’s existing roofline or built as standalone shelters. Every project starts with a structural evaluation and a weather-resistant framing plan. We add integrated lighting, ceiling fans, or screens as needed and handle everything from permits to final trim. Whether it’s a rustic timber roof or a sleek modern overhang, we build with comfort and code in mind.

The Year-Round Benefits of Covered Decks

Adding a roof transforms your deck into a multi-season space. In summer, it blocks harsh sun and creates a shaded retreat. In fall and spring, it shields from rain and wind—extending your time outside. In winter, it protects your deck boards and reduces snow removal. Covered decks also help protect furniture, grills, and outdoor kitchens from the elements. With smart ventilation and thoughtful design, your covered deck becomes an all-weather asset to your home.

Matched to Your Home’s Aesthetic

Custom Roof Styles for Any Architecture

Whether your home is a classic Vermont farmhouse or a modern mountain build, we design patio roofs that blend seamlessly. We can match your home’s roof pitch, shingles, siding, and trim details to create a cohesive addition. From timber-framed gables to low-profile shed roofs with tongue-and-groove ceilings, we tailor the structure to your style. The result isn’t just a covered space—it’s a true extension of your home’s exterior, built with care and consistency.

Step-by-Step From Design to Build

Our Covered Deck Construction Process

It all starts with a consultation where we assess your deck’s layout, your roof connection options, and your goals for the space. From there, we create a custom design and materials plan. Once approved, we handle all permits, material delivery, and construction—framing, roofing, finishes, and cleanup. Every step is done by licensed pros familiar with Vermont building codes and seasonal stresses. Our goal: give you a beautiful, low-maintenance space you’ll enjoy in every season.

Cover the Basics Before You Build

Covered Deck FAQs

Before you add a roof to your deck, here are the key questions we help Vermont homeowners and property owners answer.

Question 1: Do I need a permit to add a roof to my deck?

Yes. Any structural roof addition in Vermont requires a permit. We handle all permitting and inspection scheduling.

Question 2: Can you build over my existing deck?

Often yes, if the deck structure is strong enough to support the new load. We inspect and reinforce as needed.

Question 3: What are the best roof styles for Vermont weather?

Gable and shed roofs with proper pitch are best for snow shedding. We design each build to suit your site and home.

Question 4: Can I add screens or enclose the space later?

Absolutely. We can design the roof structure to accommodate future screening, windows, or full enclosures.
