Patio Covers & Outdoor Builds

Outdoor Living, Built Right

Central Texas weather is good for being outside most of the year, and hard on anything left out in it.

• Covered patios
• Pergolas and shade structures
• Outdoor kitchens
• Shade placement worked out from which way your house faces

Patio Cover or Pergola

A solid patio cover gives you full shade and keeps rain off, so the space is usable in a summer downpour and the furniture underneath survives. A pergola gives filtered light and more of an open feel, which suits a seating area better than a dining area. Attached covers tie into the house roofline and need proper flashing at that connection. Freestanding structures avoid that entirely and can go where the shade actually falls.

The Roof Connection Is Where These Fail

This is the part most outdoor builders get wrong and the reason a roofing company should be doing it. Where a patio cover meets your house, the flashing has to be woven into the existing roof, not caulked against it. A cover bolted to a wall with a bead of sealant will leak into the wall assembly within a couple of seasons, and you will not find it until the drywall stains.

Built for Texas Sun and Storms

Structures out in full Central Texas sun fail in predictable ways, so we build against them.

• Posts and beams sized for real wind loads, not what looks proportional
• Posts set properly rather than surface-mounted
• Materials chosen for UV, because untreated wood checks and greys in a season
• Built to local code and inspected where the city requires it

Permits and Setbacks

Most cities in our area require a permit for a permanent structure, and there are setback rules about how close you can build to a property line. HOAs frequently have their own approval process on top of that. We pull the permit and can tell you early whether what you have in mind will clear the setback, which saves redesigning it after the fact.

From Concept to Finish

One crew, start to finish. No subcontractors bouncing between your project and someone else’s.

• Tell us what you want and how you use the yard
• We walk the options and the tradeoffs
• You get a price before anything starts
• The same crew stays until it is done

Wire It While It Is Open

Fans, lighting, and outlets are much cheaper and cleaner to run while the structure is framed and open than to add later. We do the outdoor electrical too, so it goes in as part of the build rather than getting surface-mounted onto finished work afterward.

Same Warranty as Our Roofing

Outdoor builds carry the same 5-year labor warranty as our roofing. If something we built moves, leaks, or fails, we come back.
