Weather can be unpredictable, not to mention damaging to furniture and appliances. Having a patio cover installed can save you money in the long run and allow you more time outdoors. On top of this, you’ll be adding value to your home, as with any renovation.
Below, we look at some of the other benefits of an outdoor living covered paver patio, and why you should consider hiring a professional Seattle patio contractor to help you out.
Three Benefits Of An Outdoor Living Covered Patio
There are definitely more benefits of having a cover installed on your patio, but we decided to highlight the top three for you. Here they are:
Shelter from the elements
Everybody loves spending time outdoors, but occasionally finding relief from direct sunlight, wind, or a touch of rain is essential, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. Adding a patio cover to your outdoor living space will shelter you from the unpredictable Seattle area weather, and you’ll get to enjoy your patio space without having to brave the elements.
As a bonus, your beautiful patio furniture will also be protected from the elements. This will save you big bucks in the long run as you won’t have to replace expensive furnishings.
Aesthetically pleasing
This one is pretty simple, it just looks good! Sometimes, an outdoor living space can look slightly unfinished without a roofing structure of some sort. So, by adding a patio cover to your outdoor living space, you’re finishing it off. Simple as that!
Plus, you can add all sorts of decorative features, like great lighting, that add even more to the ambiance of the space.
Perfect for entertaining
Whether you have a large family home, or a charming cottage-style home, more space to entertain is always welcome. It’s an extra room, right? By adding a cover to your patio installation, you’ll create more living space, to not only entertain but to enjoy for yourself.
When you’re entertaining, especially in the cooler months, one tends to have to move the party indoors once the sun sets, or it starts getting cooler, particularly when you have no shelter. However, this isn’t the case if you install a patio cover. When you’re having a family barbecue, you’ll be able to turn on a couple of lights, perhaps put on a heater, or light a fire and keep the party going outdoors!
You want to get the most out of your outdoor space. By adding a patio cover, you’ll be able to continue from day to evening with the extra cover and protection it can provide. Plus, you won’t have to cancel any plans due to unexpected weather. Great, right?
Why Hire A Seattle Landscape Contractor For A Covered Patio?
Unless you’re a pro at construction, it’s generally better to hire a professional Seattle Paver Contractor to do your installations. Here are some reasons why:
Professional expertise
Like we said, unless you’re a professional contractor, you’ll need some help with not only the actual build but also the design. Everybody’s tastes are different, and as such, you’ll need professional help in designing the best patio cover solution to suit your home.
A professional contractor will be able to provide advice on different options available, cost it all out for you, and create a proper plan for the build.
Beautiful end-results
If you decide to install a patio cover by yourself (which you can totally do), you’ll feel accomplished at having done it yourself. However, it might not be up to code and could potentially fall down after a particularly rough winter.
But, when you hire a professional Seattle contractor for covered paver patio installation, you’re guaranteed stunning design and landscape results.
Their expertise and years of industry experience mean you’ll have peace of mind. Nothing will be haphazard or poorly done, and they will do all the heavy lifting. Literally!
Advice on materials and design
Although you’ve probably spent endless hours thumbing through Architectural Digest or Houzz for inspiration on designs and materials, some of those might not work for the style of your home or your budget.
So, by hiring a professional, who will be able to advise you on the best solution for your home, you’re sure to end up with the best design and materials to match your home’s current style as well as your budget!

Some things are best left to the professionals and covered patio installations are one of those things. Unless you’re simply planning on buying an umbrella for your outdoor space, you might need to bring in the big guns, so to speak.
