Choosing a roof for your covered deck
The right roof depends on your house, where the deck sits and how much light you want to keep. We'll walk you through it on-site.
- Shed roof: a single slope tied into the house wall. Simple, and a good fit for most back decks.
- Gable roof: a peaked roof that opens up the ceiling and can match the roofline of the house.
- Aluminum or insulated panels: lightweight covers up to thick insulated roofs, with less upkeep.
- Finished ceiling: a wood or painted ceiling with room for ceiling fans and lights.

Asheville Deck & Garage
A deck you can use in any weather
An open deck is great on a mild evening. A covered deck is the one you use when it is raining, when the afternoon sun is on the back of the house, and in the shoulder seasons when Asheville weather changes by the hour.
A roof is a real structure. It needs posts and footings strong enough to carry it, a solid connection to the house, flashing where it meets the wall, and gutters so the water goes where you want it. That is why we look at the deck, the house and the slope before we quote.
We are a family-owned builder, fully licensed and insured, and we pull the permits. Whether it is a roof over the deck you have or a new covered deck from the ground up, you talk to the owners from the first visit to the final walkthrough.

Can you put a roof on my existing deck?
Often, yes. If the framing and footings can carry a roof, we add posts, beams and the roof. If they can't, we can reinforce them or rebuild that part of the deck. We check it during your free quote.
Do I need a permit for a covered deck in Asheville?
Usually, yes. A roof over a deck is a structure that needs a building permit in Buncombe County and the City of Asheville, and in most nearby towns. We pull the permit and coordinate the inspections.
What does a covered deck cost?
It depends on the size, the roof style, how it ties into the house, and extras like a ceiling, fans, lights and screens. Our cost guide explains what sets the price, and quotes are free.
Can I add a ceiling fan and lights?
Yes. Ceiling fans and lighting are two of the most popular additions to a covered deck.
Covered deck or screened porch?
A covered deck keeps off the sun and rain and stays open to the view. A screened porch adds screens to keep the bugs out. Many people start with the roof and add screens later.
Wood or aluminum deck cover?
We build both. A wood roof can match the house and the deck. Aluminum covers range from lightweight to thick insulated panels. We'll help you choose for the look and upkeep you want.
