When I had my patio built, they were very clear with NOT raising my patio to be level with the house. I'm glad they didn't. Instead, they graded the concrete so any water drains out the farthest corner from the door.

I wouldn't raise it up to be completely level. If for some reason your patio floods, being an inch lower than the house can save your house. If it's level, the water will happily run right into your living room.
