Covered Porch Construction

Beat the heat and sudden storms with a custom covered porch sized to your home and slab.

You get shade, protection from rain, and a comfortable outdoor room that looks original to the house. Learn more about our Covered Porch Construction services.

Screened Porch Installation

Mosquitoes are relentless around Lake Houston. We build tight screened-in porches using fiberglass, pet-resistant, or solar screen options to cut bugs and pollen. Tongue‑and‑groove cedar ceilings, GFCI‑protected outlets, and ceiling fans create a breezy retreat. We laser‑level frames, install durable door hardware, and seal every penetration. Optional retractable screens let you open the space anytime. Expect cooler evenings, fewer pests, and more time outside. Learn more about our Screened Porch Installation services.

Front Porch Construction

Boost curb appeal and protect your entry with a front porch addition that matches your brick, trim, and roof. We handle Harris County setbacks, utility easements along FM 1960 corridors, and HOA approvals for Eagle Springs, The Groves, and Kings River. Columns can be cedar, masonry-wrapped, or composite; ceilings in stained tongue‑and‑groove; and rails code‑compliant for safety. We pour reinforced concrete with rebar and design proper expansion joints to tie into existing slabs. Learn more about our Front Porch Construction services.

Porch Repair

From rotten posts to storm damage, we restore safety and extend the life of your porch. Our team replaces failed ledger boards with proper flashing, swaps deteriorated decking for composite (Trex or TimberTech), and upgrades railings, stairs, and lighting to code. We correct drainage slope, add termite barriers at post bases, and re‑seal wood with UV‑resistant finishes. Most repairs wrap in days, with minimal disruption and a clear, written scope. Learn more about our Porch Repair services.

Custom Porch Design

Your porch should fit your family and your lot - not a template. We produce CAD plans for permits and HOA packages, coordinate floodplain requirements near Lake Houston, and specify beam sizing per span tables.

Why Atascocita Homeowners Choose Houston Porch

Houston Porch is the local team your neighbors trust for code‑compliant, great‑looking porches. We’ve completed thousands of projects across Greater Houston, including Eagle Springs, Atascocita Shores, and The Groves. As a proven Porch Builder Atascocita TX homeowners recommend, we back our work with written warranties, clear communication, and clean, safe sites. Our process is transparent from the first sketch to final walkthrough.

Certified Expertise and Proven Craft

Our crew leaders hold NADRA porch/deck certifications and OSHA training, and our designers prepare CAD plans that pass HOA and permit reviews quickly. We’re a BBB‑accredited business and participate in GHBA and NAHB to stay current on the IRC, wind loads, and structural best practices. When your project involves composite decking, we specify Trex or TimberTech profiles and follow manufacturer fastening guidelines to preserve warranty coverage.

Roof work is performed by installers approved through major shingle brands such as GAF or CertainTeed. For concrete and footings, we engineer bell‑bottom piers for expansive clay soils when needed, and we reinforce slabs with rebar, proper control joints, and drainage grading that moves water away from your foundation.

Licensed, Insured, and Code‑Compliant

There’s no general contractor license in Texas, but we staff TDLR‑licensed electricians for GFCI/AFCI‑protected circuits, fans, and lighting on screened and covered porches. We follow the National Electrical Code, Harris County Fire Code, and HOA architectural guidelines. If your home is near Lake Houston or mapped in a floodplain, we coordinate Harris County floodplain development permits and freeboard requirements before we build.

You’re protected with full liability and workers’ compensation coverage. We provide written scopes, schedules, and warranties, and we pull permits when required - so appraisals, insurance, and future buyers get the documentation they expect.

Equipment, Materials, and Build Quality

Quality starts with tools and materials. Our teams use laser levels for precise slopes, framing nailers for consistent fastening, Simpson Strong‑Tie post bases, hurricane ties, and rafter straps for wind resistance, and flashing membranes at every roof tie‑in. We cut with miter and circular saws, and set posts with a post hole auger and concrete mixer for consistent bearing.

Finish options include cedar or UV‑stable composite, aluminum insulated roof panels for cooler spaces, tongue‑and‑groove ceilings, integrated gutters/downspouts, and pet‑resistant or solar screens. Every connection is sealed and every fastener is corrosion‑resistant - built for Houston humidity.

Local Knowledge, Real Results

We know the Atascocita way of life - mosquito season, humidity, and busy FM 1960 traffic. Our screened porch builds in Atascocita Shores and Walden on Lake Houston often include solar screen mesh, large ceiling fans, and sealed thresholds to block pests. In Kings River Estates, we regularly match brick or stone veneer columns and roof pitches so additions look original.

Recent projects: a 14×18 screened porch in Eagle Springs with tongue‑and‑groove cedar ceiling and dual fans (completed in 3 weeks), and a 12×24 insulated patio cover near West Lake Houston Parkway that dropped surface temps by 15–20°F on summer afternoons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a porch or patio cover in Atascocita/Harris County?

Often yes. Covered porches, roof tie-ins, and electrical typically require permits. We handle the submittal, including CAD plans, wind load details, and NEC-compliant electrical. If you’re near Lake Houston or mapped in a floodplain, we’ll also coordinate a Harris County floodplain development permit and elevations. HOAs like Eagle Springs or The Groves usually require architectural approval before construction. We manage both tracks to keep your project moving.

How much does it cost to build a covered porch in Atascocita, TX?

Budgets vary by size, roofing, finishes, and electrical. As a planning range, many covered porches land between $65–$120 per square foot in the Atascocita area. Insulated roof panels, masonry columns, composite decking, or outdoor kitchens increase cost. After a site visit, we’ll provide a line‑item proposal with options so you can compare value - no guesswork or hidden fees.

Can you build a porch over my existing concrete slab?

Often yes, if the slab has adequate thickness, slope, and condition. We inspect for cracks, verify drainage, and add an expansion joint where needed. If the slab is undersized, we can pour reinforced concrete with rebar and proper footings to support posts. Our goal is a stable, code‑compliant structure that performs through Houston’s seasonal movement and humidity.

How long does a porch project take from design to completion?

Most projects take 2–4 weeks for design, HOA, and permitting, then 2–3 weeks for construction depending on weather and scope. Screened porches without complex roof tie‑ins can be faster. We provide a clear schedule milestone-by-milestone and maintain communication so you always know what’s next.

Will a new porch increase my home’s value in Atascocita?

Yes - covered and screened porches are highly desirable in the Lake Houston market. Buyers value shade, bug control, and usable outdoor space. Projects that blend with your home’s roofline, brick, and trim see the best return. Quality documentation - permits, inspections, and specs - also supports appraisal and resale value.

Do screened porches actually keep mosquitoes out in Houston’s climate?

They do when built correctly. We use tight screen systems, sealed thresholds, and self‑closing doors. Solar or pet-resistant mesh can reduce pollen and provide durability. Large ceiling fans improve comfort by increasing airflow. Many Atascocita clients choose solar screen on the west side to reduce afternoon heat along West Lake Houston Parkway.

Can you match my roof shingles and brick on a new porch?

Yes. We source shingles from GAF or CertainTeed to match color and profile, and we can wrap posts in brick or stone veneer that complements your home. We also match fascia, soffit vents, and gutters. The goal is a porch that looks original - not tacked on.

Who handles HOA submissions for Eagle Springs, Walden on Lake Houston, and The Groves?

We do. Our team prepares the full HOA package - site plan, elevations, materials, colors, and neighbor notifications when required. Because we’ve worked many projects in 77346, approvals tend to move quickly. We coordinate any revisions and keep you updated until you have written approval.

Are insulated roof panels worth it in Houston heat?

For many homes, yes. Insulated panels reduce radiant heat, quiet rain, and allow recessed lights without large framing cavities. Clients near FM 1960 often see 15–20°F cooler surface temperatures under an insulated cover compared with open patios. We’ll price standard framing versus insulated panels so you can choose confidently.

What maintenance is recommended for cedar posts and beams?

Plan to re‑stain and seal every 2–3 years with exterior, UV‑resistant products. Keep sprinklers off posts, clean debris from gutters, and check caulking at flashing annually. We design for durability - post base separation, proper drip edges, and quality sealants - so your cedar ages gracefully in Atascocita’s humidity.
