Covered Deck Builder and Contractor in Pittsburgh, PA

As a covered deck builder, Build The Burgh approaches covered deck construction as part of the property’s larger design. Building a covered deck involves more than placing a roof over the space; the roof form, slope pattern, and relationship to the deck or patio shape the finished project. Build The Burgh helps homeowners understand the available covered deck designs before construction begins.

Covered Decks FAQs

What does covered deck design include?
Covered deck design includes the roof configuration, ridge, slope arrangement, and architectural profile. Build The Burgh’s covered deck designs include gable, hip, shed-style, and gable-to-hip configurations.
A gable roof uses two sloped roof planes that meet at a central ridge. The meeting point creates the roof’s peak, while the open ends form the gable profile. This configuration creates a defined roofline over the covered deck.
A hip roof uses sloped roof planes across multiple sides of the structure. Unlike a gable roof, it does not end with open vertical gable sections. The roof form slopes away from the upper ridge across the covered deck.
A shed-style roof uses one primary sloping roof plane. The higher and lower edges create a single-direction roof profile over the deck. This configuration is simpler than a gable or hip roof.
A gable-to-hip configuration combines gable and hip roof forms in a single structure. The roofline transitions between a peaked gable section and sloped hip sections. This configuration suits covered decks that require more than one roof form.
