I recently had hail damage that requires a complete roof replacement, and I'm considering extending my roof to cover half of my patio. I'm hoping to have one side covered and the other side with a pergola. If this is feasible, should I handle both the structural changes and the re-roofing at the same time, or should one be done before the other?

Absolutely, you can tie a covered patio into your existing roof. Just make sure to install the proper footings for the new roof supports. I'd recommend doing everything at once. It simplifies the process and ensures everything matches nicely.
Thanks for the tip! I’ve got one contractor suggesting we do the roof first and then tackle the patio later, but it feels like he’s more focused on the insurance payout. Another contractor wants to extend the patio first and then re-roof everything together. Do you think it’s really better to do it all at once?
