So, you’re about to ask Archadeck of Northeast Dallas and Southlake about custom designing and building a new porch for your home. Have you given any thought as to what type of porch roof style to put over it?
Our professional porch builders will gladly assist you with that task when you meet for your complimentary design consultation, but in the meantime there’s this. There are many choices when it comes to protecting and shading your new porch. There are three porch roof covers that are most often used here.

Porch Shed Roofs
Extremely popular with its simple structural design, a shed roof atop your porch is a very affordable and manageable overhead solution. With its downward tilt design, it easily lets rainfall cascade away from your porch into the landscape. And because of its forward slope angle, a shed rook is terrific – and very dependable – to keep the Dallas sun at bay.

In addition to providing personal comfort, our custom shed roofs will help your porch and decking last longer, avoiding the pitfalls of ultraviolet rays and moisture.

And with its highly functional design, there are no barriers to outdoor furniture placement and fixtures.
Porch Gable Roofs
Almost storybook-looking, a gable porch roof is a practical and charming way to provide cover. The structure is simple by design, but extremely effective. Two planes of roofing material are placed above the roof and joined in the middle to create that “gable” effect. Connected to your house at the top pitch of your porch, they attach to your home along one side.

The facilitation of rainfall and shading from the sun occur on both the left and right sides of the gable. With their high soaring pitch, they also give the illusion of more space within the porch area and permit natural light to more easily enter.

Porch Hip Roofs
Becoming increasingly popular with newer upscale home designs, our porch hip roof installations start from a high point in the porch middle. Then, three or four roofing planes slope downward on different sides. The effect from a distance almost looks like a pyramid.

Not as simple as a shed porch roof to install, they tend to be more complex and may cost more due to the intricacies of the structure.

Porch Hip Roofs may very well be considered the crowning touch to an architect’s vision in your home design.
Porch Roofs Are Overhead Weather Protection For Outdoor Living Lovers
With a frosty lemonade in hand, and some soft Dallas breezes surrounding you, the porch life is idyllic when you have the right porch roof design.
Here at Archadeck, our team of outdoor living construction craftspeople specialize in creating places and spaces to help you better savor your great outdoors.

This can mean having a porch roof to cover outdoor living hardscapes for use as a singular space or one that works with combination areas. Over a deck or screened patio, a porch roof gives you the freedom and protection to escape a summer shower or the heat of August. Heading back into the house for comfort will never be an issue again.
