Patio Covers in Gresham, OR
Custom patio covers, covered decks and complete outdoor living spaces built for Oregon rain, so you can use your backyard all year. Licensed, insured and local to Gresham and the Portland metro.
Use Your Backyard All Year, Even in Oregon Rain
In Gresham and the Portland metro, an open patio is only useful a few months a year. A well-built patio cover changes that. It keeps you, your family and your furniture dry from fall through spring, gives you shade in the summer, and turns your patio or deck into a real outdoor room you can use almost every day.
Rose City Redevelopment designs and builds attached and freestanding patio covers, covered decks and roofed pergolas for homes across East Multnomah County and the greater Portland area. We focus on what makes a patio cover last here: solid footings, the right roof slope, proper drainage, and a watertight connection to your house.
It’s Pouring. You’re Still Outside.
Look at the edge of that roof. Rain is coming down in sheets, and just a few feet away the couch is dry, the heater is glowing, the fan is turning and the coffee is still hot.
Now picture a rainy Tuesday night in November at your house:
- Dinner outside while the rain drums on the roof.
- Friends over in October, and nobody heads indoors.
- A quiet morning coffee listening to the rain instead of hiding from it.
- Patio furniture that stays dry and ready all year long.
Most Portland backyards sit empty eight months a year. A patio cover turns yours into the room everyone wants to be in.
Patio Cover Styles We Build
Every cover is built to fit your home, your yard and how you want to use the space.
Attached Patio Covers
Connected to your home’s exterior wall or roof line. The most popular option for covering a back patio or the area right outside a slider or French doors.
Freestanding Patio Covers
A stand-alone structure you can place anywhere in the yard. A great fit for an outdoor kitchen, hot tub, fire pit area or a patio away from the house.
Covered Decks
Add a roof over a new or existing deck so you can enjoy it in any weather. We check the deck framing first to make sure it can carry the load.
Gable Patio Covers
A peaked, triangle-shaped roof that creates an open, vaulted feel and matches many Northwest home styles.
Shed-Style Patio Covers
A single sloped roof that sheds water efficiently. Clean, modern and cost-effective.
Pergolas with a Roof
The look of a classic pergola with a roof on top, so you get the style without giving up rain protection.
Any Roof Material You Want
We build with whatever roofing material you want, matched to your home, your style and how you plan to use the space. Popular choices around Portland include:
- Translucent roof panels: keep the rain off while letting natural light through, so your patio and the room inside do not feel dark in winter.
- Solid roofs: metal, shingles to match your house, or other solid roofing for full shade and the most protection.
- Wood and open-beam ceilings: cedar and exposed beams give a warm, natural Northwest look underneath.

Built for Oregon Weather
- Solid footings and posts sized for the load, so the cover stays straight for years.
- The right roof slope so water runs off instead of pooling.
- Gutters and drainage that carry water away from your patio and foundation.
- Flashing and sealing where the cover meets the house to keep water out of your walls.
- Outdoor-rated hardware that stands up to moisture.
Complete Outdoor Living Spaces
A patio cover is the start. We can build out the whole space so it feels like an extra room of your home, rain or shine.
Lighting
Recessed lights, string lights and accent lighting so you can enjoy the space after dark, especially during short winter days.
Ceiling Fans
Outdoor-rated fans to keep air moving and the space comfortable on warm summer evenings.
Patio Heaters
Built-in or mounted heaters that take the chill off cool, damp Oregon nights so you can stay outside longer.
Built Around You
Covered decks, railings, privacy screens and other upgrades, all planned together with your patio cover.
Patio Cover Permits in Gresham
Good news for many homeowners: under the City of Gresham’s permit exemptions, a patio cover of 200 square feet or less that is supported by an exterior wall of your home does not need a building permit. Larger covers and most freestanding structures usually do.
Either way, the cover must meet zoning rules and cannot sit over a drain system, a utility easement or inside required setbacks from your property line. We check these details with you before any work starts and let you know if your project needs a permit.
What Affects the Cost
Every patio cover is custom, so we do not use one-size-fits-all pricing. These are the main things that shape your price:
- Size of the covered area
- Attached or freestanding
- Roof style and roofing material
- Number of posts and footings
- Gutters, lighting, ceiling fans or heaters
- Permit requirements and site conditions
How It Works
- Free on-site visit. We measure, look at how the cover will tie into your home, and talk through styles and roof options.
- Design and written quote. A clear price and scope, with no surprises.
- Permits if needed. We let you know what is required and help you through it.
- Build. Footings, posts, framing, roofing, gutters and flashing.

Patio Cover FAQs
Do I need a permit for a patio cover in Gresham?
It depends on the size and how it is built. Under the City of Gresham rules, a patio cover of 200 square feet or less that is supported by an exterior wall of your home does not need a building permit. Larger covers and most freestanding covers usually do. Every project still has to meet zoning rules and stay out of setbacks and utility easements. We will tell you what your project needs before we build.
How much does a patio cover cost in the Portland area?
The price depends on the size, the style (attached or freestanding, gable or shed roof), the roofing material, the posts and footings, and extras like lighting, fans or gutters. Because every yard is different, we give free on-site quotes so you get a real number for your home instead of a ballpark guess.
What is the best patio cover for Oregon rain?
A solid or translucent roof with a proper slope, gutters to carry water away, and flashing where the cover meets the house. In the Portland area, many homeowners choose a translucent roof so the space stays dry without feeling dark on gray days. We will help you choose the right option for your home and how you plan to use the space.
Can a patio cover be attached to my house?
Yes. Attached patio covers are the most common choice. They connect to an exterior wall or the roof line, which can save space and cost. The connection has to be flashed and sealed correctly so water does not get behind your siding, which is one of the most important parts of the job.
Can you put a cover over my existing deck?
Often, yes. We inspect the deck first to make sure the framing and footings can support a roof. If they need to be reinforced, we include that in your quote.
How long does it take to build a patio cover?
Most residential patio covers take a few days to build once materials are on site. Larger custom covers, or projects that need a permit, take longer. We give you a timeline with your quote.
Can you add lighting, ceiling fans or heaters to a patio cover?
Yes. We build complete outdoor living spaces, so we can add lighting, outdoor-rated ceiling fans, patio heaters and other upgrades as part of your project. Planning them together with the cover means wiring and mounting points are built in from the start.
