Covered Deck & Porch Installations
An open covered porch or deck provides clear, unobstructed views of the outdoors without screens or walls. Maximize your space and create a spacious, airy atmosphere. And with open airflow, you can cook comfortably outside without smoke getting trapped.

Benefits of Choosing Covered Decks or Porches
- Protection from sunlight and rain
- Bug protection with our screened-in deck package
- Extending your usable deck season
- A more-seamless indoor/outdoor living experience
- Increased living space
- Enhanced curb appeal
- Entertaining potential
- In Pennsylvania, the average return on investment (ROI) for a new screened-in porch typically ranges between 70% and 84%, depending on factors like design, materials, and location (so, you should be able to recoup a significant portion of your investment when selling your home)
Customization Options
At Stump’s Decks & Porches, we want to help you customize your space to create the perfect outdoor retreat. We offer:
- Ceiling fan and light options
- Skylights
- Matching shingles or upgraded standing seam metal roofing
- A-frame, lean-to, hip, open, and closed gable designs
- Stained pine or PVC ceiling options
- Screening options, including retractable screening
- Knee wall options
- Heaters
- Chimney fireplace
- Kitchen with hooded vent
- TV wall options
- Protection for outdoor furniture
If your deck is large, consider covering only one portion and leaving the remainder uncovered. Besides reducing the price of the project, a partially covered deck allows you to enjoy the sun more on cooler days when the shade isn’t needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you build with exclusively low-maintenance materials?
-
Most of our deck and porch projects are built using low-maintenance materials — including vinyl and composite deck boards.
- What does a typical project cost?
-
Many of our basic low-maintenance cost between $15,000-$25,000. However, since patio size, options, and materials can vary greatly, the cost of a project can easily reach $50,000-$100,000.
- How long do covered decks and porches take to install?
-
A typical porch roof will take between 5 to 10 days. Deck and roof combos with options (such as a fireplace or a kitchen that’s in the $100,000 to $150,000 range and more) can take 3 to 4 weeks to build.
- What is the typical lifespan of a covered deck or porch?
-
You can expect the same lifespan of a new house. Stump’s offers a lifetime workmanship warranty, which is included in the price.
