Custom Patio Covers & Patio Extensions for Houston Backyards

A good patio cover does more than shade part of the slab. It extends your living space, protects furniture, and lets you actually use your backyard when Houston weather turns hot, bright or stormy. Our job as your patio contractor is to design a structure that ties into your home and feels like it was always meant to be there.

At Pergola Builder Houston, we build wood-framed patio covers, patio enclosures, patio extensions and cedar pergolas that match your home’s style and roof lines. Because we’re a local, design-to-build contractor, we think through shade, drainage, wind and HOA rules before anything gets built.

Whether you’re starting from a builder-grade slab or extending an existing porch, we help you understand the real patio construction prices and costs for your size, materials and options—no guesswork, no one-size-fits-all kits.

  • Patio covers that tie into your roofline or stand alone with properly sized posts and beams
  • Patio enclosures with walls, screens or privacy features for extra protection
  • Patio extensions that make small, builder slabs feel like real outdoor living rooms
  • Outdoor patio construction around kitchens, fire pits, pool decks and seating areas
  • Integration with wood and cedar pergolas when you want both full shade and filtered light

On your first visit, we walk your backyard (Houston, Katy, Cypress, Sugar Land, etc.), look at the way the sun hits the patio, talk through how you want to use the space and help you compare best patio covers for our climate. We can show addresses of recent projects so you can see finished patio covers and extensions in person before you decide.

Patio Cover FAQ

Patio Covers & Patio Construction – Questions from Houston Homeowners

These FAQs are written to help you compare Houston patio contractors, materials, warranties and real-world costs. It’s the same guidance we share on our first call and during on-site estimates.

Start by asking each patio contractor for a written, itemized estimate that includes size, materials, footing details, roof connection, electrical work and any options like fans or lighting. This lets you compare patio construction prices based on scope, not just a lump-sum number.

Then ask about warranties for the patio cover, structural framing and roof materials. A reputable Houston patio contractor will clearly explain what is covered, for how long, and what is considered normal wear. Also check online for patio construction reviews so you can see how they handle issues after the job is done.
In our experience, wood patio covers built with properly sized posts and beams, then finished with quality roofing materials, perform very well in Houston’s heat and humidity. They can be stained, painted or matched to your home’s trim.

Some homeowners prefer aluminum or composite components in certain situations, but the key is to use materials suited to the Houston climate with proper flashing, drainage and anchoring. On your estimate visit, we’ll walk you through the pros and cons of different options and help you choose the best patio covers for your home.
The full timeline has two parts: planning and construction. Planning includes design, HOA approval and any permits your city or neighborhood requires. Construction is the hands-on work of building the patio cover or patio extension itself.

Once approvals and materials are ready, most outdoor patio construction projects are completed in days, not months, depending on size and weather. On your estimate, we’ll outline a realistic start date and completion window based on your specific project.
Before you sign with any Houston patio contractor, ask them:
  • Whether your patio cover or patio enclosure will require a city permit or just HOA approval
  • Who handles drawings, submissions and inspections
  • What licenses they hold for structural and roofing work
  • What insurance coverage they carry for crews and your property
At Pergola Builder Houston, we explain typical permit and insurance requirements for patio contractors in our service areas so you understand exactly what’s needed and who is responsible for each step.
When you meet with a patio builder, consider asking:
  • How many patio covers or patio extensions they’ve built in your area
  • Whether they offer design consults with drawings or 3D views
  • What materials they recommend for your home and why
  • Typical patio construction costs for similar projects
  • Who will be on-site each day and how long construction will take
These questions help you compare companies beyond price and make sure you’re comfortable with the builder’s process and communication.
Search for phrases like “patio covers near me”, then narrow results by looking at companies that specifically mention Houston, Katy, Cypress or Sugar Land. Read recent reviews that mention communication, clean job sites and how the patio is holding up after a few seasons.

At Pergola Builder Houston, we’re happy to share recent project addresses and photos so you can see our work up close before you decide.
A patio cover is a roof structure that provides shade and weather protection over your existing patio. A patio enclosure adds walls, screens or windows to create a more protected outdoor room. A patio extension enlarges your usable space by extending the slab and cover further into the yard.

During your estimate, we’ll help you decide whether a simple cover, an enclosed space or a full extension makes the most sense for how you plan to use your backyard.
Patio construction costs depend on square footage, roof design, materials, footing depth, tie-in details and whether we’re integrating an outdoor kitchen or fireplace. Smaller patio covers and extensions are usually on the lower end of the range, while larger covered patios with upgraded finishes are a bigger investment.

Instead of guessing, we provide a written estimate with line items so you can clearly see how size, materials and options affect patio construction prices for your project.
You can call or text Pergola Builder Houston, or fill out our contact form and upload photos of your backyard. Share basic measurements and any ideas you have for a patio cover, patio enclosure or patio extension.

From there, we schedule an on-site visit to confirm details, answer questions and prepare a written, itemized quote so you can compare us with other Houston patio contractors with confidence.
No. In addition to patio covers, patio enclosures and patio extensions, we also design and build wood and cedar custom pergolas for homeowners who want both covered and open-air spaces. Many of our projects combine a solid roof near the house with a pergola or shade structure closer to the yard, pool or outdoor kitchen.
