There are some pergola options that would look good, create more of a defined ‘entrance’ area, and prevent rain intrusion. There are louvered metal pergolas that have built-in gutter systems, or you could cover a pergola with polycarbonate panels that shed water but don’t block the sunlight. Some fabrics (if waterproof and installed in a way that sheds water) could also work as a pergola ‘roof’ so to speak.

Yes this is exactly what I am looking for. Mostly we want to reduce rain and debris so that when our tenant goes downstairs it’s a nicer feel overall for them.

You could also call in a contractor to see how much it would cost to extend the roofline but I assume a lot more than something like this.

The cheaper option is to buy a canopy that can be attached to the wall of your home. If you are looking for a fabric option Sunbrella does have a wide range of colors that are water resistant although not actually waterproof.

Living in PNW I feel like we need to address the water.

We have one of these. We installed it ourselves which was a pain in the neck but it works keeping away the rain snow from the kitchen slider.

We need something that extends somehow off the overhangs? I got the name of someone who does awnings and will see what his ideas are

I can share dozens of ideas with you and renderings to satisfy the idea. If you are interested, please message me. I will give a list of needed items and offer you a few initial ideas immediately at no cost. All I ask is that you leave me a nice review.

Imagine the roof w/brackets over the door closest to you. A similar extension of your roof out a couple feet. Depending on home style you have, different style brackets or none at all depending on the distance of the roof's extension. This rendering looks odd without grade, but it was a very unique downward grade towards structure with retaining walls. The road was as high up from entry as shown by garage and stairs up. Project was a large totally renovated block and framing lake house. Let me know if you are interested.
