Nation RoofingPatio Covers in Las Vegas
Shade is the difference between a patio you use and a patio you look at. The two things that decide whether a cover lasts are the wind engineering and how it attaches to your house.
Attached covers and the roof connection
An attached cover means opening your existing roof or wall to carry a ledger. Done as a roofing detail with proper flashing it stays dry for decades. Done as a carpentry detail with sealant it leaks, usually into the wall where you cannot see it.
Engineered for valley wind
A patio cover is a large flat surface that catches wind. Footings, post sizing and connections get specified for local wind loads and permitted where required, because an under built cover becomes a hazard in a summer storm.
Solid, lattice and insulated panels
Solid covers give full shade and can carry a finished ceiling. Lattice gives filtered light. Insulated panels cut radiant heat noticeably on a west facing patio. We walk through the tradeoffs for your exposure.
Matching the house
Fascia line, pitch, color and post proportions get matched to the existing architecture so the cover reads as part of the house rather than something bolted on.

Frequently asked questions
Do patio covers need a permit in Las Vegas?
Attached and larger freestanding structures generally do, and requirements vary by jurisdiction within the valley. We confirm what your address requires and handle the permitting as part of the job.
Will attaching a cover cause a roof leak?
Not when the attachment is flashed as a roofing detail. It is a real risk when it is not, which is why we treat the connection as roof work rather than an afterthought.
Can a patio cover support a ceiling fan or lighting?
Yes, when it is designed for it from the start. Tell us what you want mounted and we will size the framing and rough in the electrical path during the build.
