Create Dry, Stylish Outdoor Living Spaces with Alabama Porch & Patio
Imagine turning the damp, wasted space under your deck into a dry, inviting outdoor living area. At Alabama Porch & Patio, we specialize in custom under-deck ceiling systems designed to do exactly that. Whether you’re in Hoover, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, or anywhere in the Birmingham metro area, our team transforms under-deck areas into functional spaces that are both beautiful and durable.
An under-deck ceiling system is a waterproof drainage solution installed beneath elevated decks. It catches rainwater that falls through the deck boards above, channels it away from your home, and keeps the space underneath dry and usable. This turns what used to be a soggy mess into a space perfect for storage, lounging, or even outdoor kitchens and TVs.
Every system is custom-designed with your input and installed by experienced professionals.
Choose from over 27 panel colors, or upgrade to a beadboard or wood grain finish to complement your home’s style.
Our patented all-aluminum panels are built to last—and can be easily removed for access when needed.

We use powder-coated aluminum panels designed to withstand Birmingham’s high humidity and heavy rain. They won’t rust, peel, or sag—and they’re easy to clean. Choose from a variety of colors and finishes to match your home’s style. We also offer systems built with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and steel for homeowners with specific preferences or design needs.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Powder-Coated Aluminum | High – rust-resistant, weatherproof | Low – easy to clean | Multiple colors/finishes | Birmingham’s humid/rainy climate | 20+ years |
| Vinyl (PVC) | Moderate – can warp over time | Moderate – needs occasional cleaning | Limited colors | Budget-conscious installs | 10–15 years |

Our ceiling panels are installed beneath the joists of your existing wood or composite deck, forming a sealed, soffit-like ceiling. The design incorporates a slight slope that directs rainwater into integrated gutters and funnels it out through a downspout, preventing puddles and leaks below.
By managing drainage efficiently, the system helps eliminate moisture buildup, keeps surfaces dry, and reduces the risk of mildew or rot. It’s an ideal waterproofing solution for Birmingham homes that experience heavy rain and humid summers.
All panels are secured with corrosion-resistant screws to ensure long-term performance in all seasons.
