In the Pacific Northwest, we love the outdoors—rain or shine. Whether it’s hiking, biking, kayaking, or simply enjoying your morning coffee outside, there’s something special about connecting with nature. But that enjoyment shouldn’t end when the weather turns.
With the right patio cover for your Oregon or Washington home, you can make the most of your outdoor living space all year long (even during spring rain showers or chilly winter afternoons).
But which style of patio cover will look the best with the style of your home?
Rick’s Custom Fencing & Decking installs a wide variety of patio covers. Let’s explore the best patio cover options based on your home’s architectural style, including modern, ranch, and craftsman homes, farmhouse, and more.
Modern and mid-century modern homes often have a clean, minimalist look—think bold colors, crisp lines, flat or low-slope rooflines, and lots of glass to blur the line between indoors and out. These homes pair well with patio covers that match their simplicity and structure, creating a sleek, functional extension of your living space.
Acrylite Patio Covers are a great fit for modern and mid-century modern homes:
Ranch-style homes often have a low roofline, which can limit cover options. Fortunately, there’s a solution that works beautifully.
Duralum Patio Covers are a strong choice for ranch-style homes:
Craftsman-style homes are especially common in Portland. Known for their early 20th-century bungalow neighborhoods, these home styles are also enjoying a modern-day resurgence in popularity. Whether old or new, this architectural style features rustic charm and natural materials—making them a natural match for a warm, wood-framed patio cover.
Our Custom Wood Framed Covers are designed to complement homes with rustic or craftsman character beautifully:
Looking for a patio cover that blends form and function? Pergolas offer a mix of open-air ambiance and partial shade, making them ideal for everything from cozy backyards to larger patios and decks. Their versatility makes them a great match for a wide range of architectural styles—especially farmhouse, garden-style, and traditional homes.
Pergolas can be built from materials like vinyl, cedar, or aluminum and are easily customized with integrated covers, decorative ends, or climbing plants to reflect your personal taste. A pergola adds elegance, charm, and practical shade—whether it serves as a focal point in a backyard garden or defines a cozy outdoor gathering space—all without closing you off from the outdoors.
Every home is unique, and your patio cover should reflect your personal style and complement your home’s architecture. With a range of materials, finishes, and design options, we offer customized solutions to meet your specific needs. Whether you prefer the natural look of wood or the sleek appearance of aluminum, our design consultants will work with you to create the perfect outdoor retreat.
