Covered Decks & Patio Roofs in Nebraska

Shade, Shelter & Style in One Build

Why Choose a Covered Deck or Patio Roof?

A covered deck or patio roof lets you use your outdoor space in more seasons and more types of weather. These overhead structures reduce sun exposure, block light rain, and keep furniture protected. They also help control heat and glare, making your deck more comfortable during summer. We match the roof style to your home’s architecture—flat, gable, hip, or custom—and can integrate ceiling fans, lighting, and even skylights. It’s not just about staying dry; it’s about elevating your deck into a functional outdoor room.

Custom Structures, Seamless Fit

Patio Roof Options for Any Home Style

We build attached and freestanding patio covers in wood, metal, or composite, all designed to meet local codes and match your home’s exterior. Our covers range from full shingled roofs that tie into your home to open pergolas with decorative rafters. Choose between solid roof panels, lattice-style beams, or polycarbonate panels that let in light but keep out UV rays. All structures are designed for wind and snow load specific to Nebraska’s climate, ensuring long-term safety and stability.

  • Fully enclosed or open-air roof designs

  • Pitched or flat rooflines to match your home

  • Structural framing built for wind and snow loads

More Than Shade—It's a Structural Upgrade

Integrated Roofs vs. Freestanding Covers

We offer two main types of deck covers: integrated roofs and freestanding structures. An integrated roof connects directly to your home and is ideal when you want a seamless extension of your indoor space. It can be tied into your existing roofline and finished with matching shingles or materials. A freestanding patio roof, on the other hand, stands alone—perfect for decks or patios further out in the yard. Both styles are built with full permitting and structural reinforcements to ensure longevity and compliance.

Framing, Footings & Roofing That Last

Covered decks require strong foundations, durable framing, and roofing materials that resist wind, moisture, and heavy snow. We pour concrete footings and install pressure-treated support posts with metal brackets for stability. For roofing, we offer asphalt shingles, metal panels, or tongue-and-groove wood ceilings sealed for outdoor exposure. Flashing, venting, and drainage are carefully integrated to prevent leaks and rot. Every element is installed to code and designed for real-world use—not just looks.

Enhance Your Deck’s Look & Comfort

Add-Ons: Lighting, Fans & Ceiling Options

Make your covered deck more inviting with built-in lighting, ceiling fans, or finished ceilings. We can pre-wire your roof for recessed lights or pendants, add outlets for outdoor heaters, and finish the ceiling in cedar, beadboard, or composite panels. These upgrades turn your deck into a true outdoor room, perfect for dining, relaxing, or hosting friends. Whether you're building from scratch or adding a roof to an existing deck, we’ll help you plan a space that looks great and functions beautifully.
