Custom Covered Patio Builder In Nashville, TN
Oakwood Builders designs and builds custom covered patios across Nashville — vaulted gabled roofs, shed roofs, and screened outdoor rooms that turn a backyard into a true year-round extension of the home.
Why A Covered Patio Changes The Way You Live Outside
Nashville weather is generous, but it's also unpredictable. A great covered patio lets you eat outside in a summer rain, lounge through a fall thunderstorm, and use the space ten months a year instead of four. It's the single highest-impact outdoor investment most Nashville homeowners can make.
We design covered patios as architecture, not as add-ons. Roof pitch, ceiling material, post sizing, and the way the structure ties back to the home all matter. Done right, a covered patio looks like it was always part of the house.
Gabled, Shed-Roof & Vaulted Designs
Most Nashville covered patios fall into one of a few design families. Gabled roofs feel traditional and tie cleanly into homes with pitched architecture. Shed roofs are crisper and more modern. Vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings — in either roof style — add warmth, light, and a sense of room that flat ceilings can't match.
We'll walk you through how each pairs with your home's existing roofline, finish materials, and orientation to the yard. The right answer is the one that makes the covered patio feel inevitable.
Screened Patios & Three-Season Rooms
A screened covered patio is, in our experience, one of the most-used rooms in any Nashville home. You get the openness of an outdoor space without the mosquitoes, the leaves, or the pollen. Add a ceiling fan, integrated lighting, and a stone fireplace and you have a true three-season room.
We build screened patios with integrated screen systems that disappear visually, real soffits, and finished ceilings — never the rough, exposed look of a tacked-on enclosure.
Lighting, Fans, Heaters & Fireplaces
A covered patio earns its keep when you actually use it. We pre-wire for ceiling fans, plan lighting layouts with both ambient and task fixtures, and integrate options for radiant heaters in shoulder seasons. Where the budget supports it, an outdoor fireplace or stone hearth extends the room into the colder months.
