There are two upgrades to your outdoor living space that bring with them solutions to weather problems: a covered deck and a screened-in porch. Both of these options allow you to utilize your outdoor space during rainy days. Home owners in Maryland and Virginia have found safe haven under covered decks and screen porches during the nastiest of storms, allowing them to use their outdoor living space regardless of the weather conditions.
Almost all of Maryland receives approximately four inches of rain per month, as the annual rainfall in our state ranges from 35 to 45 inches. The average winter snowfall for our area exceeds 20 inches. If you’re a Maryland resident, this isn’t news to you – our state is one of the wettest.
As for wintertime, you know those snow piles that look so soft and fluffy white at first can turn into a slushy, melting mess. A deck roof keeps snow that could have built up on your deck away from doors, minimizing any chances of interior water damage.
The upside of being kept dry by your covered deck prevents you from being a slave to the Maryland weather – you won’t have to cancel a party or move it indoors because of rain. You can read, relax, work, or play with your kids in your screened-in porch, rain or shine. A deck roof also protects you from the sun, which many of our customers want so they can still appreciate being outside without worrying about harmful rays.
