3 Reasons You Should Cover Your Deck

A 2022 report from Remodeling magazine shows adding a new deck was one of the top 10 outdoor improvements of last year. The better news is that experts expect that trend to continue in 2023. The study also shows that adding an attached roof structure to your new deck will also add a ton of value and comfort to your lifestyle.

Here are the top 3 reasons you should consider building a new covered deck or new covered porch in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania:

• Protect your investment 

A covered deck or covered porch can certainly help you escape the summer heat or unexpected rain storms. But more importantly, it will help you protect the new furniture and other features on your new deck or porch in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Protecting your investments from the elements will minimize maintenance, prevent costly repairs, and keep your investment looking new all year round.

Some homeowners worry that a completely covered deck will ruin their chance of enjoying any sun. But the sun’s rays in mid-July can be brutal, and an unexpected rainstorm can ruin a great dinner or party. So a smart addition to any outdoor space is a roof and pergola combination that can allow you to enjoy the perfect ratio of sun to shade.

• Save on cooling costs 

There are many factors that can contribute to high cooling costs during the summer months, but an attached roof structure can actually help the hit to your wallet! An attached roof system will block out the sun, reducing the need to touch the thermostat. However, this does not mean that an attached roof system will block out all light inside the home, making it a cave. Strategically placed skylights in the roof will block out 95-99% of the sun’s UV rays but allow natural light to filter back into your home at the same time!

When choosing materials for your new covered deck or porch, it may seem that you have an infinite choice of any material on the market. But, just like outdoor furniture, the types of material that your covered deck or porch is made from will have a large impact on overall lifetime and durability. Since each material will impact your new space differently and you don’t want your investment to look out of place make sure you work with a partner who can help you select the best material to match the architectural style of your home while considering how it will impact the overall comfort of your space.
