Covered Decks & Patio Covers in Clark County, WA
Enjoy your deck rain or shine. Covered decks, patio covers, and outdoor living structures built across Clark County.
Use your deck 12 months a year — even in the rain
This is the Pacific Northwest. A covered deck or patio cover is the difference between a space you use three months a year and one you use all year. We build covered decks, attached and free-standing patio covers, and full outdoor living structures.
What we build
- Covered decks — roof structures integrated with a new or existing deck.
- Patio covers — attached or free-standing, in wood, composite, or aluminum.
- Outdoor living — lighting, fans, heaters, privacy walls, and screens.
- Gable, shed, and lattice styles — matched to your roofline.
Most competitors bundle this as an afterthought. We treat it as its own craft — because a cover done wrong leaks, sags, or looks tacked-on.

FAQ
Covered Decks & Patios questions
What's the difference between a covered deck and a patio cover?
A covered deck is a roof structure built over a deck; a patio cover is a roof over a ground-level patio or slab. We build both, attached or free-standing.
Why build a cover in the Pacific Northwest?
So you can actually use your outdoor space in the rain. A cover turns a three-month deck into a year-round living area — arguably the best PNW upgrade.
Do covered decks and patio covers need a permit?
Roofed structures almost always require a permit in Clark County. We handle the permitting and build to code, including for wind and snow loads.
Can you cover my existing deck?
Often yes, if the existing deck and footings can carry the added roof load. We'll assess it on the free quote and tell you straight if it needs reinforcement.
What roofing styles do you build?
Gable, shed (single-slope) and lattice styles, plus solid and insulated panel roofs. We match the roofline and pitch to your house.
Can I get skylights or clear panels for more light?
Yes — polycarbonate panels, skylights or clear sections keep the space bright while still blocking rain, which is popular under our gray winter skies.
Can you add lighting, fans or heaters?
Yes. Covered structures are ideal for recessed or string lighting, ceiling fans and overhead heaters so the space works day and night, year-round.
Attached or free-standing — which is better?
Attached covers tie into the house roofline and feel like an extension of the home; free-standing works when attaching isn't practical or for a detached patio. We'll advise for your layout.
Will a cover make my house too dark inside?
It can reduce light to adjacent rooms, which is why we plan pitch, depth and translucent panels carefully — and often use lighter materials or skylights to compensate.
What materials do you use for covers?
Wood, composite and aluminum framing with a range of roofing options. Aluminum is low-maintenance; wood matches traditional homes; we'll match your style.
Can you build an outdoor kitchen or living space under the cover?
Yes — covered structures are the foundation for outdoor kitchens, dining and lounge areas. We plan for clearances, power and gas where needed.
How much does a covered deck cost?
Covers cost more than an open deck due to roof framing, posts and roofing. We price the deck and the cover separately so you can see each part and phase if needed.
Can you add privacy walls or screens to the cover?
Yes — side walls, privacy screens and even retractable panels help with wind, sun and nosy neighbors while keeping the space open.
Do patio covers handle our wind and rain?
Built to code, yes. We size posts, footings and connections for local wind loads — especially important near the Columbia River Gorge in Washougal.
Can I add a cover later to a deck you build now?
Yes. If you tell us up front, we can size the deck's footings and framing to accept a cover later, saving cost when you're ready.
Do covers require gutters?
Usually yes — we integrate gutters and downspouts to route roof runoff away from the deck and your foundation, which matters a lot in the PNW.
How long does a covered structure take to build?
Typically longer than an open deck because of the roof — often two to four weeks depending on size and style. We give you a firm schedule.
Will a covered patio add home value?
Covered outdoor living is a sought-after feature here and extends your usable square footage, making it a strong-returning improvement.
What's the warranty on a covered deck or patio cover?
A written workmanship warranty for as long as you own your home, plus manufacturer warranties on composite and roofing materials.
