Custom Patio Covers in Englewood, CO
The trick with Englewood's single-story homes is headroom: a patio cover has to tuck under a low eave and still feel like a room, not a carport. That's a carpentry problem, and we solve it beautifully.
Patio Cover Design for Low Rooflines
Where eaves sit low we design around them — shed roofs pitched off the fascia, covers set on independent posts just below the eave line, or flat-profile builds that steal every inch of height. Materials stay in period: painted posts and exposed rafter tails on a 1948 bungalow, cleaner lines on a brick ranch.
Attachment, Wiring & the City File
Older houses hide their surprises at the roofline, so we verify what the rafters can carry before the drawings commit to them. Knob-and-tube or aged wiring near the attachment zone gets flagged early. The permit files through the City of Englewood with engineering attached, and inspections are our appointments.
Building Your Patio Cover in Englewood
Compact sites build fast: one delivery staged in the alley or drive, footings and frame inside days, roofing right behind. Your neighbors three feet past the fence get quiet hours and a clean site.
Frequently Asked Questions
Patio cover questions from Englewood homeowners.
That's a common Englewood starting point and very workable — a low-slope roof off the fascia or a cover on independent posts can hold 7-plus feet of clear headroom. We mock up the height with story poles on site so you feel it before we build it.
Not if it never asks the old roof to work: most of our low-eave designs carry their load on new posts and footings, touching the house only for flashing continuity. Where we do attach, we verify the framing first and engineer the connection.
In Englewood, attached roof structures need one regardless of size, and unpermitted work surfaces at resale on these older homes constantly. Ours go in permitted, inspected and documented - it protects your sale price, not just ours.
