Covered Decks & Patio Roofs in Rhode Island

More Use, More Comfort, More Value

Custom Shade Structures for Your Deck or Patio

Covered decks and patio roofs add serious function to your outdoor space—offering protection from sun, rain, and snow while elevating the look of your home. At Alliance Deck Builders of Rhode Island, we design and build roofed structures that integrate seamlessly with your existing deck or create a new outdoor room from scratch. Whether it’s a full roof extension, a freestanding patio cover, or a pergola with privacy screens, we tailor every design to your space and needs.

Weather Can’t Cancel Comfort

Why Rhode Island Homeowners Add Roofs to Their Decks

Rhode Island’s climate can change by the hour—hot sun, cold wind, sudden rain. A covered deck keeps you outside longer with year-round usability. You’ll get shade in summer, dry seating in spring, and a space that feels more like an outdoor room. Whether you’re building over a grill, hot tub, or dining area, we design roof structures that look great and last.

  • Shade from harsh sun and UV exposure

  • Dry space during rain or snow

  • Adds privacy, resale value, and livability

Framed for Strength. Designed for Style.

Code-Compliant Roof Structures for Every Deck Type

Covered decks must handle snow loads, wind shear, and structural tie-ins with your home. We design every patio roof to meet or exceed Rhode Island building codes—using proper pitch, bracing, and water diversion. From gabled extensions to flat roof builds or pergolas, we ensure framing is safe and water doesn’t pool or leak. You’ll get both form and function—finished the right way.

Options for Every Style & Budget

From Open Air to Fully Covered

Not every cover needs to be a full roof. We offer a range of solutions—like lattice-style pergolas for filtered shade, translucent polycarbonate panels for light, or full roof tie-ins with shingles to match your home. Add screens for bugs, recessed lighting for ambiance, or ceiling fans for airflow. Whatever your vision, we bring it to life with materials that match your space and hold up to Rhode Island’s weather.

Snow, sun, salt air—Rhode Island weather throws a lot at outdoor structures. We build patio roofs and covers that stand up to every season. From deep winter drifts in Cumberland to salty fog in Bristol, we use materials and fasteners that hold strong and resist rust. Gutters, downspouts, flashing, and sloped framing help manage water and extend your deck’s lifespan.
