Shade, Shelter, and Year-Round Comfort

Covered Decks & Patio Roofs in Virginia

Enjoy Your Deck in Any Weather

Covered Decks That Extend Outdoor Living

A roof turns your deck into a true outdoor room. At Alliance Deck Builders of Virginia, we design and build covered decks and patio roofs that provide shelter from rain, shade from the sun, and protection from snow or falling debris. Whether attached to your home or built freestanding, our structures are engineered for looks, safety, and long-term use.

Add Comfort Without Leaving the Outdoors

Benefits of Adding a Roof to Your Deck or Patio

Covered decks give you more days to enjoy your space—no matter the forecast. They protect furniture, allow lighting and fans, and open the door to features like outdoor TVs, heaters, or full kitchens. We offer sloped, gabled, and flat roof styles to match your home, and build with materials made to handle Virginia’s climate.

  • Shade for summer and protection from rain

  • Adds comfort features like lighting and fans

  • Extends your outdoor season from spring through fall

Built to Match, Built to Last

Roof Styles That Complement Your Home

We design patio covers and roofed decks to look like they were built with your home—not added after. From matching pitch and shingles to extending soffits and fascia, our structures blend in seamlessly. Whether it’s a classic gable, a shed roof, or a flat modern style, we align structure and style for a clean, unified look that meets HOA rules and local code.

Engineered for Wind, Snow, and Time

Roof Structures Built to Virginia Standards

Covered decks and patio roofs aren’t just about shade—they’re structural. We build using load-rated beams, hurricane ties, and weather-resistant hardware to ensure your roof can handle heavy rain, wind, and snow. Our team pulls permits, manages inspections, and builds to code so you can enjoy peace of mind under every beam.

Not Just a Roof—An Outdoor Room

Customize Your Covered Deck with Premium Features

A covered deck opens the door to upgrades you can’t use on an open platform. We install recessed lighting, ceiling fans, outlets, outdoor TVs, heaters, and more. Want a rustic wood ceiling? Or a modern vibe with trimless lighting and sleek metal columns? We’ll tailor every detail—from ceiling finish to beam trim—to your style.

Why Homeowners Add Covered Decks and Patio Roofs

  • Weather-Ready Outdoor Living: Stay dry, shaded, and comfortable no matter the season.

  • Increased Home Value: A roofed deck adds curb appeal and functional square footage.

  • Built-In Comfort Upgrades: Install fans, lighting, or heaters for real outdoor luxury.

  • Custom Matched Finishes: We blend the roof with your home’s trim, roofline, and siding.

  • Fully Permitted & Engineered: Every covered structure is code-compliant and weather-rated.

Don't worry, we can help!

What’s Included in Your Covered Deck or Roof Build

We handle the full project—from roof design to post installation, electrical options, and final finish. Every covered deck includes a site inspection, structural plans, HOA-ready design (if needed), and a clean build site. You choose the layout and features—we deliver the comfort and coverage.

  • Custom roof framing to match your home’s pitch and trim

  • Optional wiring for fans, lighting, or outdoor TVs

  • Permit-ready plans and city inspection included

Attached or Freestanding—We Build Both

Covered Decks That Fit Any Yard or Setup

Whether you need a roof attached to your home’s structure or a freestanding pavilion-style cover, we’ve got you covered. Freestanding patio roofs work great for detached decks, pool areas, or open spaces. Attached roofs create seamless indoor-outdoor transitions. We’ll help you choose the right setup for your home and yard.

Covered Deck & Patio Roof Questions

What to Know Before Adding Shelter to Your Outdoor Space

Adding a roof over your deck changes how—and how often—you use it. Here are the most common questions we get.

Question 1: Do I need a permit for a patio roof or covered deck?

Yes. We handle all permitting, plans, and inspections for code compliance and HOA approval.

Question 2: Can I add a roof to my existing deck?

Often, yes. We’ll inspect your current structure to see if it can support the added weight—or upgrade it if needed.

Question 3: What roof styles do you offer?

We build gable, shed, flat, and custom roof styles to match your home’s look and layout.

Question 4: Will a roof make my deck dark or stuffy?

No. With proper design, ceiling fans, and lighting, your covered deck will feel open and comfortable.
