Patio Cover Bliss: Dream it, Research it, Build it
Have you lived in your home for a while? Maybe added a couple of kids? Started working from home? As life progresses you may have any number of reasons for wanting more room to telecommute, spread out, and enjoy what little quiet family time we can muster from our busy lives.
Moving to a larger house is often infeasible and building a traditional room addition to serve as a home office or extra bedroom is expensive and time-consuming. An outdoor living area, on the other hand, provides additional space, takes little time to install, and is affordable on almost any budget. Renaissance Patio’s full selection of patio covers, pergolas, sunrooms, screen rooms, patio roofs, and gazebos has the added benefit of bringing your family closer to nature – not a small consideration in our multi-screen environment.
Research the Best Patio for your home
Scope out homes in your area that have similar architectural styles to your own castle. What colors, styles, and design elements have their owners incorporated into their patios? Which do you like and would consider for your own addition? Renaissance Patio, for instance, has engineered three distinct insulated patio roof designs with individual flourishes to reflect diverse lifestyles and attitudes toward design. One is sure to match your home’s construction, whether it’s classic, contemporary, or modern.
How will you use your new patio?
Once you know what’s possible, turn your attention to what’s attainable and desirable. Consider how and when you will use your new addition – outdoor kitchen: home office? Man cave or she-shed? Game room? Art studio? Cocktail lounge? Use your imagination! Decide if you want an attached pergola, patio cover or insulated roof or a freestanding structure adjacent to your pool, garden, or other cozy spots. Your location and local weather patterns will come into play, as well. Think about whether you want to use your patio during the rainy, muggy, freezing, and mosquito seasons.

Perhaps your biggest decision is where to place your patio cover. Attaching it to your home creates a natural transition to the outdoors and can provide shade inside the home to cut down on cooling bills. A freestanding covered outdoor area or gazebo, on the other hand, establishes a separate space, away from the hubbub of everyday life. It can become a welcome retreat for reading, yoga, and intimate conversations.
BHI has helped thousands of homeowners enhance and expand their living spaces with covered patios, screen rooms, gazebos, and sunrooms. These projects require some coordination, but with a little planning and our guidance, you can be living the good life in your outdoor living space in no time. Let us show you how easy it can be
