San Antonio Patio Covers
Sitting outside with friends and family has never been more comfortable than under a patio cover. Experience cool shade, the sun out of your eyes, and protection from the rain.
A well-designed patio cover can be a true extension of your home, complete with a ceiling fan or heaters, lighting, and power outlets. There are many styles to choose from when designing a covered space to fit your home. The most common styles we offer are hip, gables, shed, and Dutch gables, to name a few.
Covered patios can be constructed as standalone structures or attached to an existing home, creating a larger shade and rain protection area throughout the backyard. We offer pavilions, patio covers, carports, and awnings to keep you comfortable outside while boosting your home value.
We offer wooden and insulated metal covers depending on your home style. Composition shingles, standing seam metal roofing, clay tiles… No problem, we do it all! We can also incorporate complementary materials such as stone, stucco and Hardie board. Ceilings can be vaulted or flat using different tongue and groove materials. The options are endless!
What to Consider When Choosing a Patio Cover
When selecting a patio cover or enclosure, several factors should be considered. First, ensuring the patio cover will provide enough shade and protection from the elements is crucial. Additionally, it's important to consider how the cover will fit in with your outdoor space's overall design and aesthetic.
Materials also play a role in a patio selection, as some materials may require more maintenance and have shorter lifespans than others.
Consider other features, such as built-in lighting or fans and AC/heating, which can further enhance your patio experience.
Choosing a patio cover ultimately involves finding the right balance between function, aesthetics, and budget. Considering these items, you can choose a patio cover that meets your needs and enhances your outdoor living space.
From design to installation, we have over 25 years experience with the installation of custom covered patios to meet your needs.

Why do all homeowners have to be at the initial appointment?
There are many design choices involved in the initial appointment including size, location, materials and colors. We've found that when all homeowners are part of the creation of their project, they:
- Are much more satisfied with the design
- Can easily discuss changes to size, location, materials and colors
- Find a price that works for their budget
- Participate in an appointment that is creative, efficient and fun!
What should I expect to happen at my appointment?
We request an initial appointment timeline of two hours. While it may not take this long, we always strive to accomplish & you should expect certain procedures that happen at the initial appointment:
- Your designer will walk the space with you.
- He or she listens to understand how you envision using your outdoor living area.
- We will take detailed measurements of the current existing structures and those areas in which we will build.
- The team member will then sit with you all inside, at a table, to discuss design choices, pros and cons of each and make recommendations for your unique home, goals and budget.
- As you make choices, the designer will create detailed drawings of the project and price based on your selections.
Why can you not give me a 'ballpark' estimate, price per square foot or price range for my project?
We do not give 'ballpark' estimates, price per square foot or price ranges as there are a variety of factors that go into designing and pricing your project.
For example, your home may be on a slope - impacting deck height or concrete depth.
The material choices you make, even down to the color, can also significantly influence price. For example, composite wood may be more expensive but has a longer life than natural wood.
Even factors such as location of gates and access to the property can impact pricing. For example, the price to pump concrete in varies from the price it costs when material must be hand-carted or carried into the backyard.
For this reason, we design and price projects at the property with all homeowners' present.
Is my project too small for your Company?
We love projects of all sizes! Our project minimum investment is typically $3,000 (for wood) and $5,500 (for concrete). As quality is our number one value, most of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals - so many clients have chosen to complete multiple projects with us and at higher investment levels. We are also happy to phase out your project(s), if that is best for you. No matter the size, we believe you will be creating additional property value and meaningful space for your family to make joyful memories.
