Porch Roofs and Covered Porches Built for Tennessee Weather

If you have ever sat outside during a Tennessee summer, you know the challenges of an open deck. The sun is intense almost all day, storms keep you indoors, and for much of the year, your outdoor furniture goes unused. As a result, the space only gets used a handful of weekends each year.

A roof changes everything. You get shade in August, dry chairs during storms, and more evenings outside in spring and fall. It also protects your deck, especially if it is made of treated wood, since it stays out of the weather. Deckmasters builds covered porches in Sparta, Cookeville, Crossville, McMinnville, and Smithville, and ties them into your existing roof so they look like they have always been part of your home.

Why a Covered Porch Is Worth the Extra Cost

Columns and posts that match your home.

We can do a wide selection of post sleeves and column wraps, and our crew can match the columns on your front porch or use a photo you provide.

Permits taken care of, or shared.
