Covered decks and deck roofs

Why cover your deck in Utah

• Shade on hot afternoons. West-facing backyards in Saratoga Springs, Lehi and Eagle Mountain can be too hot to sit in by 3pm. A roof fixes that.
• Usable in spring and fall rain. Eat outside even when the weather turns.
• Less snow to shovel. A covered deck keeps a clear path to the grill or hot tub in winter.
• Your boards last longer. Less sun and snow on the surface means less wear.

Roof styles we build

• Gable roofs with vaulted ceilings, like our Highland Legacy Pecan deck on rough-sawn cedar beams and stone columns.
• Shed and tie-in roofs shingled to match the house, like our Saratoga Springs Brownstone deck.
• Timber-frame pavilions with metal roofs, like the Highland hot tub retreat.
• Partial covers over one corner of a larger deck, like the porch-swing corner on our Saratoga Springs Dark Cocoa deck.
• Covered decks with a fireplace, like our Lehi build with a stone outdoor fireplace.

Two outdoor rooms from one deck

On a second-story deck, the patio underneath can be just as useful as the deck itself. With under-deck drainage, a finished ceiling and lighting, it becomes a dry, shaded space for a hot tub, a dining table or the kids' play area. Steel framing makes those spaces even more open, with fewer posts. See steel deck framing.

See it before we build it

Roofs change how a home looks from the yard and the street. Every booked project gets a 3D rendering, so you can see the roof line, posts, stairs and railing before we start. Call for a free estimate to start planning your covered deck.
