Adding a roof to an outdoor space gives increased protection, meaning you will be able to use it in almost any weather, increasing the time you can spend outdoors. A roof offers shade in the summer and protection from the elements in the winter, provding a space that can be enjoyed without reliance on a clear sky.
Building a patio roof can seem challenging, with many options available and various pros and cons…but not for us, at Apollo Patios – we’re experts in providing roofing solutions. We have been designing and installing patio roofs for almost three decades, helping Australians like you to create the perfect covered space for your home.
Our approach involves six steps, taking your roof from an idea to reality. Read on to learn more.
1. Consultation
You will meet one of our Design Consultants at your consultation appointment, who will start by listening to the vision you have for your space. Whether you are looking for a new deck and roof combination or a roof to cover an existing space, they can help bring your design to life.
You will be shown several material and colour choices, styles, and more to help you narrow your options and decide. We will also consider any requirements from your council to ensure the structure is not only suitable for the space but compliant.
2. Design And Quote
Our consultant will create a design and provide you with a quote. This can either happen during the appointment or up to a few days later. They will outline what they have included in their quote and will work with you to incorporate any suggestions or adjustments you may have.
When making adjustments to the design, the quote might change, but your consultant will inform you of this.
3. Check Measure
The next step is, one of our building supervisors will visit your home to measure the space. They will double-check all dimensions and details are correct, to ensure a smooth installation. For an efficient installation and to reduce wastage on-site, our roofing arrives onsite cut to size.
4. Council Application
Most councils and states require a permit when adding a roof to your patio. We will speak to the council on your behalf, complete all the necessary paperwork, liaise with them where needed. During your consultation, we will let you know if there are any requirements that may not be approved, ensuring the recommend structure we put forward is most likely to be approved.
5. Manufacture And Deliver
When we have approval we will begin manufacturing your roof and it’s components. When everything is ready, this will be delivered, complete with all required parts to your home – ready for a smooth installation.
6. Installation
Finally, our qualified builders will arrive and install your new roof. We specifically train our builders and installers to communicate with you from start to finish and to keep a tidy site. As your property is a temporary construction site, we ask that you respect safety guidance or any specific instructions from our installer.
