Two Ways to Cover a Deck
An attached cover ties into your house and uses its roof line. It looks like part of the home. A freestanding cover has its own posts on every side. It works well out in the yard or where the roof line will not allow a tie in.
Adding a Cover to the Deck You Have
A cover adds weight. The posts and footings under your deck may not be sized for it. We check what is under the deck before we price a roof. Sometimes we can use what is there. Sometimes new posts go in next to the old ones.
The Patio Cover Permit in Hutto
The City of Hutto lists building a patio cover as one of its common permit types. Its Building Department FAQ says a patio or patio cover permit takes about 10 to 15 business days to approve. Most permit fees are based on the value of the project. Adding lights needs an electrical permit too. We build that time into the schedule.
Fans, Lights and Comfort
A cover is where you can add a ceiling fan and good lights. Plan the wiring before the ceiling goes up. It costs less to run wire now than to open the ceiling later.
