Outdoor living, rain or shine

A roof turns three good months into twelve

Around St Helens, an open deck really earns its keep from June through September. The rest of the year it sits wet. Put a roof over it and the math changes completely: morning coffee in the fall, barbecues that do not get rained out, a dry spot for the dog, covered storage for the grill and firewood, and a true outdoor room you use all year.

A cover also protects the deck itself. Keeping the worst of the rain off the surface means less moss, less graying and fewer of the moisture problems that wear out Northwest decks early. It is one of the few upgrades that adds living space and extends the life of what is under it at the same time.

What we build

Covered deck and patio cover options

Every cover is framed to carry real Northwest roof loads and tied into your home correctly, then finished to look like it was always part of the house.

Gable roof covers

A peaked, vaulted cover that feels open and bright and matches the rooflines of most Columbia County homes.

Shed-style covers

A clean single-slope roof that sheds rain away from the house. The most budget-friendly way to get covered.

Patio covers

Already have a concrete or paver patio? We build sturdy freestanding and attached covers over the space you have.

Roofs over existing decks

We evaluate your current deck's posts and footings, beef them up where needed and add a cover that carries the load.

New covered deck packages

Deck and roof designed together from day one, so posts, beams and sightlines all work as one structure.

Light and finish details

Skylights and translucent panels to keep things bright, plus gutters, lighting and ceiling finishes that complete the room.

Covering an existing deck

Can your deck carry a roof? We find out first.

A roof adds serious weight, and in Oregon it has to handle wind and wet winters on top of that. Most open decks were never framed for it. Before we promise anything, we check your deck's posts, beams and footings and tell you what, if anything, needs reinforcing. Often it is a matter of upgrading a few posts and footings; sometimes the smart move is pairing a new cover with a deck repair or resurface so the whole structure is ready together.

Roofed structures also almost always need a permit in St Helens and Columbia County, and the tie-in to your house roof or wall has to be flashed correctly or you trade a wet deck for a leak. We handle the structural details, the flashing and the permit process so the finished cover is dry, legal and built to last.

How it works

From design visit to dry, finished cover

Covered structures take a little more planning than an open deck. Here is how we keep it simple for you.

Design visit

We look at your deck or patio, your roofline, sun and drainage, and talk through cover styles and budget.

Plans and permits

We size the structure for Northwest loads, sort out the permit and confirm every detail before building.

Questions

Covered deck and patio cover FAQ

Can you add a roof over my existing deck?

Usually, yes. The deciding factor is whether your deck's posts, beams and footings can carry the added roof load. We inspect the structure first; if it needs reinforcement, we include that work in your quote so the finished cover is safe and to code.

Do I need a permit for a covered deck or patio cover in St Helens?

Almost always. Roofed structures are treated differently than open decks, and St Helens and Columbia County generally require a building permit for them. We are familiar with the local process and handle the permitting as part of the project.

Gable or shed-style cover: which should I choose?

A gable cover feels taller and brighter and usually matches the house best, but costs more to frame. A shed-style cover is simpler, budget-friendly and drains predictably away from the house. The right choice depends on your roofline, ceiling height and budget, and we will show you both options at your estimate.

Will a patio cover make the inside of my house dark?

It can if it is designed carelessly, which is why we plan for light from the start. Skylights, translucent roof panels and the right cover height keep the covered space and the rooms behind it bright while still keeping the rain out.

How much does a covered deck or patio cover cost?

It varies with size, roof style, whether we are covering an existing structure or building new, and how the cover ties into your house. A simple shed-style patio cover costs far less than a full new covered deck. We give you an exact written quote for free after seeing your space.
