Covered Patio Extension in SilverLeaf

SilverLeaf patio covers that tie into the roofline and make the backyard usable through sun and rain.

When a SilverLeaf family tells us they never use the patio, the reason is usually sun or rain. A covered extension solves both, and with fans and lights in the ceiling it becomes a room you use every day.

Patio Cover Styles in SilverLeaf

Flat composite roof. A low-profile cover that keeps the windows behind it bright.
Fans and lights built in. Wired into the new ceiling so they're ready on day one.
Matching floor. Pavers carried over the old slab and the new area so it reads as one.
Heaters for cool nights. Heaters mounted in the cover so the patio works in January too.

Daylighting research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory notes that overhangs can reduce daylight reaching a room, while taller, sloped ceilings help spread light deeper, which is why roof height and shape matter on a lanai extension.

What Shapes a covered patio extension in SilverLeaf

More than 4,350 acres of SilverLeaf are set aside for conservation, so many backyards look onto preserve. Most SilverLeaf homes are new, and the standard builder lanai is usually the first thing families want to extend or screen. Facing water, the roof edge is set so the view starts right at the seating.

The hardest part of a patio cover is the tie-in to the house. Amany studies the existing roof at the in-home visit before choosing between a gable, a single slope or a flat roof. Before we draw a covered patio extension in SilverLeaf, we check where columns can go without blocking the view, where fans and lights belong and how the floor carries out from the old slab.

Up to 80% of UV rays can get through clouds, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.

Approvals and Permits in SilverLeaf

SilverLeaf reviews additions for placement, materials and colors, and village rules can add to that. Boards usually want elevations showing how the new cover meets the roofline, along with the roofing material and the setbacks. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

SilverLeaf homes are permitted by St. Johns County. The County requires a building permit for most improvements and, in most cases, a clearance sheet before it accepts the application, and registered architectural review associations are notified automatically when exterior work is filed. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
