Covered Decks & Patio Roofs in New Jersey

Stay Dry. Stay Cool. Stay Outside.

Why Add a Cover to Your Deck or Patio?

Covered decks are more than just beautiful they’re practical. They shield furniture from sun damage, keep your deck usable in bad weather, and help regulate indoor temperatures. In New Jersey, they extend outdoor season from early spring through late fall. From simple awnings to permanent roof additions, we build every structure to match your home’s style and meet NJ building codes.
