Patio Covers From a Contractor Who Knows Roofs
A patio cover is a roof over your outdoor space, which makes the top, the edges, and the joint at your house wall the parts that count. D Bolton Roofing builds patio covers across eight Tennessee Valley counties, with free estimates and no pressure.
What a patio cover does for your yard
A good cover gives you a spot outside that stays usable when the weather doesn't cooperate. Here's what you're really getting:
- Shade and rain cover over a patio, a back entry, or wherever the grill and the chairs end up
- A real roof on top — shingle or metal, the two kinds of roofing we install
- Water handled on purpose, with gutters and downspouts priced in the same visit if you want them

Why a roofer is the right one to build it
Most trouble with an outdoor cover starts overhead: a seam that lets water through, an edge the wind gets under, or a joint at the house that never got sealed well. Roofing is our trade, so those are the details we look at first. Here's what we go over with you:
- Where the cover meets the house. Flashing is how a roof keeps water out of a joint, and it's the first thing we talk through at that wall
- The roof surface. Shingle costs less to start. Metal runs 40–70 years against 15–25 for typical asphalt, and your estimate can show both
- Wind and weather. Our ridge-and-river terrain funnels wind and throws hail at roofs, so how a cover is fastened matters as much as how it looks
That's roof work, and roofs are what we do. Text a photo and we'll tell you plainly whether it needs a repair or has reached the point of a replacement. A cover that only needs a fix won't get sold a whole new roof.
Gutters and the water around the cover
A roof of any size sheds a lot of water in a hard rain, and a covered patio sends that water toward your door or your foundation. We size gutters to the roof's real area and pitch instead of a default, and we add downspout extensions that carry the water away. See our gutter services, and ask for them in your patio cover estimate.

Common Questions
Patio Covers FAQs
What does a free patio cover estimate cover?
We look at where the cover will go, talk through how you plan to use the space, and go over the roof on top and how it will meet your house. The price comes itemized, and the visit itself costs you nothing.
Can a patio cover have a metal roof?
Yes. Metal is one of the two kinds of roofing we install, and it costs more at the start but lasts far longer than typical asphalt. Shingle costs less up front. We'll price your cover both ways so you decide with real figures.
Do you fix a leaking patio cover roof?
A leak is a roof problem, and roofs are our trade. Send a photo and we'll tell you whether it's a repair or something bigger. If a small fix is all it needs, we'll say so instead of selling you more.
Can you add gutters when you build a patio cover?
Gutters are a service we offer, and we size them to the actual roof area and pitch. Ask for them in the same estimate and we'll price the cover and the gutters together.
Can I pay for a patio cover over time?
Our financing and monthly payment plans are set up around roofing work, including metal roof installations. Tell us about your patio cover and we'll go over what applies, at no cost and with no obligation.
