Patio Cover Contractor Vancouver

Once our team at Vancouver Deck Builders finishes installing a custom deck for you, there can be some additional steps as well. The most common thing our clients inquire about is to get a patio cover installed. A patio cover is a great way to make your deck/patio space usable year round even during the rainy period. This can be great for barbecue lovers as you don't need to be grilling in the rain and can have a nice covered area to fire up some burgers. You can have a space for family leisure activities or maybe even a nice spot to enjoy your cup of coffee in the morning if you don't mind the cold too much. Another big benefit to having a custom patio cover installed is the protection from the elements it provides for your deck. Depending on the material you chose for your deck, it may be waterproof or resistant to moisture but a wood deck can be susceptible to moisture damage. Even with a high quality wood and proper maintenance work, constant exposure to the elements for a wood deck is not ideal for its longevity. So not only does a patio cover create a safe haven for your family to enjoy the patio year round, it also helps to extend the lifespan of your deck as well. An overlooked feature is that it can create a nice patch of shade during the summer time as well.

The most common materials for patio covers are wood, vinyl, and aluminum. Each come with their own pros and cons that should be considered for your situation. Wood patio covers will require maintenance but you can achieve a beautiful look with them. Aluminum is pretty hands free but may make the area too hot during summer months as it conducts heat. Vinyl is another low-maintenance material since it wont rot or be impacted by moisture. Vinyl tends to have limited colour choices and is not recommended to be painted on which can decrease your design options.
