Attached and freestanding patio covers in cedar, painted wood or powder-coated aluminum — engineered, permitted and built to match your home.
Most North Texas backyards get about four usable months without shade. A patio cover changes that — it turns the slab outside the back door into a room you use in July, in the rain, and after dark. The difference between a cover that adds value and one that looks bolted on is in the details: how it ties into the house, how the roof pitch matches, and whether the posts sit on real footings.
We build attached covers that tie into the existing roof structure, freestanding covers on their own footings, and insulated-roof covers that keep the space cooler and let you hang fans and lights. Every cover is engineered for wind load, submitted for a city permit, and built by our own carpentry crew.
A patio cover is the one project that changes how often you actually use the backyard. Ours are engineered for wind and uplift, tied into the structure properly, and finished so the roofline reads like part of the original build — not a bolt-on.
Wind and uplift calculations, stamped when the city requires it, before we order a board.
Posts on real concrete footings; ledgers flashed and lagged into framing, never just the fascia.
Shingles matched to your house, standing seam, or insulated aluminum panels rated for Texas hail.
Fans, lights and TV outlets planned before framing so nothing is surface-mounted after.
Cedar is the classic look and what most HOAs prefer: real wood grain, stained to match the fence or the trim, and easy to add a tongue-and-groove ceiling to. It needs a re-stain every few years. Painted pine costs less than cedar and takes color well, but it's the least forgiving in our humidity if it's not sealed properly.
Insulated aluminum is the low-maintenance option and the fastest build. The roof panels are rated for hail, the finish never needs paint, and the underside comes out clean and white. It costs more per square foot than wood, and it's the choice we recommend when the cover has to span wide without posts in the middle. Whatever you choose, the roof pitch and the fascia get matched to the house so it reads as original.
We walk the property with you, measure, and talk through how you actually want to use the space. Free, no pressure.
We recreate your yard in 3D and show you the finished space, with materials picked from real samples, plus an itemized written price.
We pull city permits and prepare your HOA packet, then give you a start date and keep it.
Our own crews build it. Forms pulled, debris hauled, site swept — your neighbors only know we were there by the finished work.
Free walkthrough, free 3D design, itemized price in writing. Financing available so the project doesn't have to wait.
Yes, in every city we work in. A patio cover is a roofed structure attached to or near the house, so the city wants engineering, a site plan and inspections. We handle all of it, and the permit shows as a line item in your estimate.
Once the permit is issued, a typical attached cover takes one to two weeks of construction. Insulated aluminum is faster than wood. Permit review is the variable — two to six weeks depending on the city — so we start that first.
That's the point. We match the shingle, the pitch and the fascia so the cover looks like it was part of the original build. For aluminum, we match the trim color to the house.
It's engineered to. Attached covers are tied into the framing, freestanding covers sit on footings sized for the span, and the roofing is rated for Texas weather. We've had covers through hail that totaled the roof on the house.
Yes. We handle city permits and inspections for covered patios, pergolas, electrical and gas work across Rockwall, Royse City, Fate, Heath, Rowlett, Wylie, Forney, Garland, Dallas and the surrounding municipalities, and we prepare HOA submittal packets using your 3D design. Permit costs are a line item in your estimate.
Yes. A written workmanship warranty on every project, on top of the manufacturer warranties on pavers, turf, aluminum and materials. The terms are in your contract, not buried somewhere.
