When you are building a patio cover off of an existing roof or wall you must take all of your measurements from the point at which the patio roof will attach to the existing structure not the outside of the slab.
Adding a roof to your deck is best done as the deck is being built.
If you choose to add a roof to an existing deck you may need to add additional supports so it can hold the weight of the roof.
Many building departments require a local architect or engineer to design plans for porch roofs because of the increased snow roof and wind loads created by adding a roof.
Porch decks require 25 additional psf for roof loads for a total of 80 psf.
As a result most decks have inadequate footings to support a new porch roof.
The footings for porch decks must be larger than deck footings.
Consider including an ice and water barrier too.
