Carport and Pergola Builder in Houston, TX.

A patio without shade in Houston is a patio you can only use three months out of the year. But bolting a cheap kit to your house or pouring undersized footings creates bigger problems than the sun. Houston's summer UV intensity degrades untreated wood pergolas fast, and our storm winds will tear apart poorly anchored structures. If you want to use your outdoor space year-round, you need a structure built for our specific climate.

Homeowners often call us because their existing wood pergola is rotting, or the patio cover they bought online is sagging. Pergola footings need to be sized for Houston's clay — undersized footings heave and tilt when the ground gets wet. Another major issue is water management. Shade structures need to be designed with drainage in mind — roof runoff from a pergola or patio cover ends up on your foundation if it's not directed properly. See our Gutter Service Houston for how we handle it.

Structural pergolas attached to the home may require permits in the City of Houston. DIY builds often violate setbacks or structural requirements, causing massive headaches when it's time to sell the house. We handle the coordination to ensure it's built legally and safely.

We build permanent shade solutions. Our Pergola Installation provides beautiful, filtered shade using high-quality materials. For full weather protection, we build solid Patio Covers Houston that tie into your existing roofline.

If you want low maintenance, our Aluminum Pergola Installation offers extreme durability. For ultimate control, our Louvered Pergola Installation lets you open the roof for sun or close it for rain. We also provide heavy-duty Carport Installation to protect your vehicles, and we design Custom Patio Covers for unique architectural layouts.

Louvered roof systems are popular in Katy, Cypress, and The Woodlands because they handle Houston's unpredictable rain. You can enjoy the breeze on a nice day and close the roof tight when a sudden afternoon thunderstorm rolls in.

Aluminum and powder-coated steel hold up significantly better than untreated wood in our humid, high-UV environment. Because we are a full-service outdoor design company, we ensure the footings for your structure are engineered for the clay soil, and we handle the drainage so water doesn't dump onto your patio.

We assess drainage on every project, ensuring your new roof structure doesn't create a waterfall against your foundation. A project director personally walks your property to check the tie-in points and layout before we design the structure. We offer a free on-site consultation with a $0 trip charge.

Our one team handles the footings, the build, and the drainage integration — no subcontractor hand-offs. We honor our price-what-we-quote guarantee, so you never pay surprise charges. We back our structures with a solid warranty. Call (832) 304-7007 to get your shade built right.
