Outdoor Living

Covered porches and patios built for year-round Colorado use.

Screened, three-season, and four-season porches plus paver and stone patios.

A covered porch is the single most-used outdoor space on most Colorado homes. Worth building right.

Cover changes everything about how you use it.
Why covered

Cover changes everything about how you use it.

Sun in July, rain in May, surprise snow in October — Colorado weather rewards covered outdoor space. A porch or covered patio is usable in conditions that would shut down an open deck.

Most clients tell us their covered porch becomes the most-used room in the house from May through October.

Curb appeal and Colorado evenings.
Front porches

Curb appeal and Colorado evenings.

A great front porch reshapes a house's whole street presence. We build everything from craftsman bungalow porches to wraparound farmhouse porches.

Detail matters here — column proportion, ceiling material, railing style. We design for the home's architecture.

Where the family actually lives.
Back patios

Where the family actually lives.

Back patios — covered or open, paver or stone — are where Colorado families spend their evenings. We design them with the kitchen and family room in mind, so the transition from indoor to outdoor is seamless.

Single-level walk-outs from a kitchen door work especially well.

Bug-free three-season rooms.
Screened porches

Bug-free three-season rooms.

Screened porches in Colorado are extraordinary in shoulder season. We frame, screen, and finish with ceiling fans, fire features, and TV mounts on demand.

Most use Phantom or Mirage retractable screens for an open-air look when you want it.

Glass and conditioned space.
Three- and four-season rooms

Glass and conditioned space.

A three-season room uses removable glass or vinyl panels to extend useful season from roughly April–October to March–November. A four-season room is fully conditioned and counts as living square footage.

Both require careful permitting and we handle it.

Hipped, gabled, shed, and integrated.
Roof structures

Hipped, gabled, shed, and integrated.

A porch roof has to integrate with the existing house roof without creating ice dams or drainage problems. We match shingles, pitch the roof correctly, and flash all the transitions.

Bad porch additions are nearly always recognizable by the awkward roof transition.

T&G, beadboard, painted, or stained.
Ceilings & fans

T&G, beadboard, painted, or stained.

Tongue-and-groove cedar, painted beadboard, and stained pine are our most common porch ceilings. We integrate recessed LEDs, ceiling fans, and audio.

On larger porches we also do exposed beam ceilings with stained heavy timber.

Infrared heaters and outdoor lighting extend the season.
Heat & light

Infrared heaters and outdoor lighting extend the season.

Infrared heaters mounted to porch ceilings add 4–6 weeks to each end of usable season. Outdoor-rated string lighting, sconces, and recessed cans handle the evening light.

All of it pre-wired during framing.

What porches and patios cost.
Investment

What porches and patios cost.

Open paver patio: $20–$40 per sq ft. Covered porch (open-air): $150–$300 per sq ft of covered area. Screened porch: $200–$400 per sq ft. Three-season room: $300–$500 per sq ft. Four-season room: $400–$700+ per sq ft.

Most projects are full-scope: footings, framing, roof, electrical, ceiling, screens or glass, and final trim.

Common questions

Answers before you ask.

Don't see your question? Call us or schedule a free site visit and we'll walk through it on your deck.

Is a covered porch worth it vs an open deck?

For year-round Colorado use, absolutely. Different tool — both have a place.

Can I screen in my existing porch?

Usually yes. We frame and screen most existing covered porches with no structural changes.

Do I need a permit for a paver patio?

Open paver patios usually don't. Anything covered or attached to the house does.
