⌂ Comfortable Outdoor Living

A shaded spot your family can use all summer.

Down here, the sun chases everybody back inside by noon. A covered patio gives you a real, shaded space right off the back door — to grill, visit, let the kids play, and stay cool without running the AC on high. No fancy outdoor kitchen, just comfortable, honest shade.

⌂ Why Add a Covered Patio

More than just a roof over your head.

A covered patio is one of the most useful things you can add to a Texas home. Here’s what it gives your family.

☀

Real Shade From the Sun

A solid roof blocks the heat so you can sit outside in the middle of a Texas summer.

⌂

Protects Your Back Door

Keeps rain and sun off your door, steps, and the flooring just inside your home.

◉

Stays Dry in the Rain

Unlike an open pergola, a real roof sheds water — your grill and chairs stay dry.

▱

Adds Usable Living Space

It’s like adding a room to your house — shaded, open-air space the whole family uses.

♨

A Covered Spot to Grill

Keep cooking outside year-round without the sun beating down or rain running you off.

↗

Adds Value to Your Home

A well-built patio cover is an upgrade buyers actually notice and appreciate.

⌂ Materials & Construction

Built the right way, from the ground up.

A patio cover is a roof — so we build it like one. Solid framing, a real roof, and the details that keep water and wind out for years.

Pressure-treated posts & beamsTreated 6×6 posts and heavy beams carry the roof — built to hold up to Texas weather.
Posts anchored in concreteFootings set deep and anchored so the cover stays put in high winds.
Properly flashed ledgerWhere it ties into your house, we flash it right so water can’t sneak behind it.
Real shingle or metal roofArchitectural shingles to match your house, or durable metal.
Galvanized hardware & bracingBolts, brackets, and knee bracing that keep the frame solid for the long haul.
Sealed & stained woodThe framing gets a stain finish to protect it and keep it looking good.

⌂ Roof Options

Pick the roof that fits your home.

We’ll match your house’s style and pitch. Here are the common roof types we build.

⌂

Gable (Pitched) Roof

A peaked roof that sheds water fast and looks great tied into your home.

↘

Single-Slope (Lean-To)

A simple sloped roof that drops water away from the house — affordable and clean.

□

Flat Patio Cover

A low-profile cover with just enough pitch to drain — good for tight eaves.

▤

Shingle or Metal

Match your house with architectural shingles, or go with durable metal roofing.

⌂ Make It Yours

Customize it to fit your home and how you’ll use it.

Every home and family uses their covered space a little differently. We’ll help you pick the size, roof, and details that make sense for yours.

↔

Size & Coverage

Cover just the back door, or run it the full width of the house for a big shaded area.

✣

Ceiling Fans & Lights

We can wire for fans and lights so it’s comfortable and usable in the evening too.

✦

Skylights

Add skylights to keep natural light coming in under the roof where you want it.

#

Post Wraps & Trim

Dress up the posts with wraps and trim that match your home’s look.

▤

Tie Into a Deck

Pair it with a deck or patio slab for one seamless outdoor living area.

▰

Paint or Stain Finish

Choose a stain that complements your home or a solid finish for a clean look.

Honest work on ordinary homes — shaded spaces built to be used, not just looked at.

⌂ Straight Talk

Covered patio questions we hear a lot

No runaround. Here’s how we answer the things homeowners actually ask us.

What’s the difference between a covered patio and a pergola?

A covered patio has a solid, waterproof roof. A pergola has open slats and gives partial shade but does not keep rain out.

Can you tie the roof into my house?

Yes. We frame and flash the connection correctly so it stays solid and water cannot get behind it.

What roofing material do you use?

We can use architectural shingles to match your home or durable metal roofing.

Will it hold up in high winds?

We use deep concrete footings, heavy treated framing, galvanized hardware, and proper bracing for South Texas weather.

Can you add a ceiling fan and lights?

Yes. We can plan wiring for fans, lights, and outlets during the build.

How much does a covered patio cost?

Cost depends on size, roof style, access, and finishes. We provide a straight quote after an on-site walkthrough.

What makes a covered patio comfortable in South Texas?

A solid weatherproof roof creates practical shade and outdoor comfort, with options for fans, lighting, and finishes that fit your home.
