Covered Structures For Decks And Patios

Build The Burgh builds roof structures over decks and patios for homeowners who want a defined outdoor area. The structure’s location and size are planned in relation to the home, the space beneath it, and the surrounding property.

Covered Deck Areas: Provide overhead shelter for an existing or planned deck project.
Covered Patio Areas: Create a sheltered setting above a patio.
Home Connection: Relates the new structure to existing doors, windows, and rooflines.
Space Beneath the Roof: Allows room for planned seating, dining, cooking, or a fireplace.
Property Conditions: Accounts for grade, drainage, access, and structural support.

Outdoor Elements Louvered Pergolas

Build The Burgh is an Outdoor Elements dealer. Its louvered pergola systems offer adjustable overhead coverage for projects where homeowners want more control over sun and shade than a fixed roof provides.

Louvered Roof System: Adjusts the amount of overhead shade.
Integrated Heaters: Add warmth to the area beneath the pergola.
Integrated Lighting: Places light within the pergola structure.
Up-Lighting: Adds another lighting option to the installed system.
Structure Placement: Positions the pergola in relation to the home and nearby outdoor areas.

Living Areas Beneath The Structure

An outdoor kitchen, fireplace, or entertainment wall is a substantial part of an outdoor living project, not simply an upgrade to a roof. Build The Burgh, an outdoor living space contractor in Pittsburgh, PA, can plan those spaces alongside a deck, patio, or covered structure. Lighting and ceiling fans are options that can then be integrated into the design.

Outdoor Kitchens, Fireplaces, and Entertainment Walls: Built on-site as part of a custom outdoor living space.
Lighting and Fan Options: Recessed and exterior lighting, plus ceiling fans, planned for the covered space.
