A porch represents a transition space between the indoors and outdoors, where we can feel wonderful and comfortably in any season. Whether it is built in front of the house or behind it, the porch is guaranteed to increase the property`s charm, so we can consider  it as an “accessory” of the house and a reflection  of the owner’s style and tastes.

Probably the most important part of a porch, its roof must protect you from the elements. In general, it is built on a structure and with materials similar to those used in the construction of your house`s roof. The porch`s roof can even be attached to the main roof, thus becoming an extension of the initial construction, or it can be built independently. Moreover, it can support a wide range of materials, including tiles, shingles, plastic or metal panels, but also transparent panels, made of polycarbonate, or skylight insertions, if you want a greater exposure of the porch area to natural light.  To match the existing roofing on your home it’s best to have one of the Highlands Ranch roofing companies do the installation.

In this context, the problems with your porch`s roof are very similar to those of your house`s roof, and the signs indicating that you need a new roof are pretty much the same:

• Water leaks that can no longer be repaired efficiently
• The roof is old
• The cover is made of poor quality materials or there are installation issues
• A large area of the roof is damaged or there are missing roofing materials
