Pavilions & Covered Structures

Covered Outdoor Structures Designed for Comfort and Durability

Handy Home Repairs designs and builds pavilions and covered outdoor structures for homeowners in Burlington, Ontario and surrounding areas. These structures provide reliable shelter from sun and rain while creating defined, comfortable outdoor spaces for gathering, dining, and everyday use.

Our pavilions and covered structures are thoughtfully planned and built as permanent features—designed to integrate with your home, landscape, and how you actually use your backyard.

What Are Pavilions and Covered Structures

Pavilions and covered structures are freestanding or integrated outdoor roofs supported by posts or columns. Unlike pergolas, they typically provide full overhead coverage and can range from open-air designs to partially enclosed structures with privacy screens or architectural detailing.

They are commonly used to cover patios, outdoor kitchens, seating areas, or poolside spaces, adding both function and architectural presence to the backyard.

Design Services for Pavilions & Covered Structures

Every project begins with careful design to ensure the structure is properly scaled, structurally sound, and visually cohesive with the home and site.

Layout and proportion planning
Integration with patios, decks, and walkways
Roof form and structural design
Material and finish selection
Consideration of shade, wind, and drainage

Our design process ensures the finished structure feels intentional and well-integrated rather than oversized or purely decorative.

Construction of Pavilions & Covered Structures

We build covered outdoor structures using durable materials and proven construction methods suitable for Ontario’s climate.

Structural wood framing and detailing
Proper footings and foundations
Columns, beams, and roof structures
Partial walls, screens, or architectural features
Repairs, upgrades, and rebuilds of existing structures

Attention to structure and detailing ensures these spaces are built for long-term use and stability.

Covered structures are commonly built over or integrated with concrete patios to provide a stable, durable foundation.
