Imagine a summer storm as it rolls through Dallas. As you run from the backyard to your patio, you expect shelter. But as you step foot on it, you find water dripping where it shouldn’t, pooling at the base of your home. Unfortunately, for a lot of people, this is exactly what happens when a roof extension isn’t done right.
When you add a roof to make a covered patio, you’re not just looking for shade. You’re fundamentally altering the structure of your home. If you do this right, a covered patio will add a lot of comfort and value to your home. But if you’re not careful, you could be looking at water damage, drainage issues, and costly repairs.
This is exactly why Dallas patio covers should always be built by pros who know how to tie into your home safely and correctly. At Archadeck of Dallas, we specialize in designing and building patio covers that not only look great but also protect your home from damage.
It’s our structural engineering expertise that allows us to be absolutely certain that your design will be sound and properly integrated with your house. Our goal is simple: give you comfort and peace of mind, now and for years to come.
The Expensive Risks of Poor Patio Cover Construction
A bad roofline isn’t just an eyesore. It can lead to major structural issues that are expensive to fix.
We’ve seen cases where poorly built patio covers caused water to pool against the house, leading to leaks, flooding, and interior damage. These issues usually stem from improper drainage and unpermitted construction.
As a Dallas covered patio builder, we approach every project with a “better building” mindset that keeps engineering, permits, and craftsmanship top of mind. Your patio cover isn’t just an add-on, but rather a part of your home’s exterior shell. It needs to shed water efficiently, anchor securely, and integrate without compromising your home’s facade.
Covered Patio Extension? Don’t Cover the Windows.
"Will my new patio cover block the view from my second-story windows?" That's a question we hear a lot. The answer to that question ultimately depends on how the roofline is designed.
When we build a covered patio extension, we often cut into the home’s facade between the first and second-story windows. This allows us to add the roof without blocking your views or reducing natural light. Our designs are tailored to preserve the aesthetics of your home while giving you full use of your outdoor space.
