What Are the Benefits of a Patio Cover?

Add enjoyable living space

If you’re looking to add space in your home, a covered patio is a perfect choice as it can serve a variety of functions. It provides a perfect breakfast area especially when the sun is out. You can gather your family and guests there and enjoy your meals. When the sun is too hot, the area can be an excellent playroom if you have children or grandchildren. A patio cover adds shelter and this implies that you can spend more time outside doing activities you would normally do inside like working on your laptop, playing games or reading, all without caring about the weather conditions.

Protect your furniture

When winter knocks on our doors, it’s unfortunate that we have to bring in accessories inside and cover outdoor furniture so they don’t incur any damage from ice and snow. The funny thing is, during winter, we spend a surprising amount of time in our backyards playing with our kids and building snowmen. With this in mind, it would be nice if you had a place to sit. You will enjoy spending time in your outdoor furniture all year-round when your patio is covered. A patio cover also keeps your outdoor furniture in great condition by offering protection from the UV light that causes it to fade and other environmental elements including wind-borne dust particles, dirt, pollen, and animal droppings.

Enhanced Design

A covered patio is a beautiful addition to any home, especially when it’s built to blend with the existing architecture of the home. A patio cover can improve the overall appearance of your home as well as the yard design. There a variety of patio cover options to choose from that will fit perfectly with the design of your house and exterior landscape. Whatever your needs and preferences are, you will find something with the style and features you’re looking for.

Increase Property Value

Any well-designed patio enclosure and cover can increase the value of your home due to the extra square footage and design enhancements. It’s easy for a home that has a patio cover to standout on the market and sells much quicker because of the added curb appeal. A patio enclosure, on the other hand, can be much more feasible in time and cost when compared to a room addition. If you ever decide to sell your home, the presence of an enclosed or covered patio will give a better return on your investment.

Types of Patio Covers

We can use different materials for your patio covers depending on your own personal preferences. Our design team will be glad to go over the options with you. However, it would be imperative to say that we only use the highest quality of materials for the project. When we combine this with our seasoned workmanship and deep knowledge of structural engineering, you can be sure of getting a stunning and functional patio beyond your expectations. We are very versatile and able to install any type of patio cover of your preferences, including:

Solid wood patio covers. These are a great choice if you want a material that will remain consistent on the outside of your home. They come in many shapes, sizes, colors, and texture. Wood covering is attached to the exterior wall or the fascia board. The support is offered by wood posts while the plywood covers the roof. To prevent accumulation of rainwater and snow, the roof will be gently sloped and equipped with gutters and downspouts.
Glass patio covers. Most glass covers are made of aluminum because it’s strong and does not rust. Wood frames can also be used. The spaces between rafters determine the amount of light that will hit your patio and the wider the better. The glass can be tinted to block UV rays and glare.
Alumawood patio covers. These covers are made out of metal but designed in a way that gives it the look of wood. These can be perfect if you want the look of wood but would like to avoid the maintenance that comes with it. Alumawood comes in different types, shapes, and sizes.
Pergola. These covers are extremely elegant and offer rain protection and partial shading. They are open with no plywood on top, the rafters are angled at the edges, and can either be attached to your house or freestanding.

Enclosures and Sun-rooms

Not only can we create a shade for your patio with a durable, attractive cover, but we can also make the outdoor area a room on its own. An enclosure attached to the back of your home can act as a transitional zone between the outdoor and indoor. We can also create an enclosure for your outdoor pool and still ensure plenty of room is left for pool surrounds. Such an enclosure will increase the use of your pool and you can enjoy your pool all year-round. It will also keep out leaves, wind-blown debris, and bad weather. When it comes to the construction or remodeling of sun-rooms, we can use a variety of materials for the framing including wood, aluminum, masonry, and brick. We also use impact resistant, energy-efficient glass for the paneling. You will be able to save on your energy bill when you spend more time in the sun-room because natural light enters freely. We can also tint the glass panels to filter out UV light.

Apart from installation of patio covers, enclosures and sun-rooms, we also provide other patio remodeling services. We can put in new patios including in stone pavers or stamped concrete, repair your current patio, build carports and sheds, and install screen rooms. We also handle all important aspects that will be required for a new enclosure including ceiling fans and electrical work.
