The homeowner loved spending time on their rear porch but was frequently driven indoors by intense, direct sunlight. Outdoor umbrellas offered limited coverage and unstable protection, making a permanent deck roof the ideal solution for comfortable, shade-filled outdoor living.
I needed a roof on my rear deck ASAP. It was in full sun all day and I wanted to enjoy it. Richard drew up the plans and scheduled an installation time. I was proud of myself as I helped by moving lumber and taking orders. I’m not Ms Fix-It but it was a learning experience to work on a project that I now enjoy every day. He was fast, efficient and great on my budget. I highly recommend Richard.
The Weekend Carpenter managed the project from concept to completion, handling the initial design work and securing all necessary approvals. Richard framed and sheathed the new roof, seamlessly repaired the surrounding siding, shingled the exterior to match the house, and added clean trim details—delivering a structurally sound, beautifully integrated covered porch that protects against the elements.
