Spokane gets consistent rain from October through April, and a covered deck extends usable outdoor time by several months. We build attached and freestanding covers across South Hill, Spokane Valley, Mead, and Cheney.
Spokane's rainy season runs from October through April, which means an uncovered deck sits unused for almost half the year. A solid patio cover changes that. With rain protection overhead, the deck becomes usable on overcast days, during light rain, and on spring evenings before temperatures fully warm. Many homeowners in Spokane Valley and South Hill describe a covered deck as one of the best outdoor investments they have made, simply because they use the space far more often after the cover goes in.
The two most common choices for deck cover roofing in Spokane are corrugated polycarbonate panels and shingle or metal roofing that matches the house. Polycarbonate is lighter, less expensive, and lets diffused daylight through. A shingle or metal roof provides better insulation and a cleaner look that ties into the house, but adds cost and framing complexity. We give you pricing on both options at the estimate so you can compare before deciding.
Attached patio covers require a Spokane building permit because they connect to the house structure and need engineering to confirm the house wall framing can carry the lateral and vertical loads. We prepare the permit drawings and submit them, which typically takes one to two weeks before we start work. Freestanding covers over a certain size also require a permit. We handle the permit on every covered-deck job so you do not need to navigate the city building department on your own.
$6,000 to $15,000 for an attached deck or patio cover, depending on span and roofing
Most attached patio covers in Spokane run $6,000 to $15,000, depending on the span, post height, and roofing material. A polycarbonate panel cover at the smaller end of that range; a full shingle roof matching the house at the upper end.
Yes, for attached covers that connect to the house. Spokane County requires a permit for any attached structure because it affects the house's structural load. We pull the permit and handle the drawings as part of the project.
Yes, that is one of the most common requests we get. We inspect the existing deck to make sure the footings and posts can carry the added load from the cover framing, and we add the cover in one project.
Once the permit is in hand, most covered deck installations take three to five days on site. Larger spans or roofing that needs to match the house exactly can take a bit longer.
We built this operation around one idea: a deck is a structural investment, not a cosmetic one, and it deserves the same care you would put into any other part of your home. We work across Spokane, South Hill, Five Mile Prairie, Mead, and the Spokane Valley. Every build gets a permit, pressure-treated or composite framing rated for the Pacific Northwest, and a final inspection before we call the job done. We give you a flat written estimate after the site visit and we stand behind the work with a workmanship warranty.
