Our builds are engineered for longevity with hot‑dip galvanized or stainless fasteners.

Porch Repair

Rotten posts, bouncy floors, and leaky roof tie‑ins are more than cosmetic - they’re safety risks. We perform NADRA‑style evaluations, replace compromised framing, re‑flash ledgers, and correct guardrail and stair code issues. On problematic soils, we can specify larger footings or helical piers for stability. We also address wind uplift connections using Simpson Strong‑Tie guidance, so your porch is safe and solid. After repairs, we can refinish with new decking, railings, and stain or paint for a fresh look.

Porch Remodeling & Renovation

Update an aging space with composite decking, new columns and railings, or a roof extension. We can convert an open deck to a covered porch, add lighting and fans, and complete porch‑to‑screen room conversions. Our designers prepare HOA/permit‑ready drawings and help you select materials like PVC trim, masonry bases, and low‑maintenance rail systems. We phase work to minimize disruption and protect your landscaping and hardscape during the remodel.

We back our work with strong warranties and top manufacturer partnerships. If you’re comparing contractors for Porch Builder Baytown TX, we’ll earn your trust with detailed proposals, transparent pricing, and references from neighbors right here in the East Houston suburbs.

Certified Expertise and Proven Process

Our team holds NADRA deck/porch evaluation training and follows AWC DCA6 and the 2018 IRC for structure and safety. We’re seasoned installers for leading brands - Trex, TimberTech AZEK, and Fiberon - so you get systems built per the manufacturer’s specs for long-term performance. Expect engineered beam sizing, proper ledger attachment and flashing, and guardrail/stair compliance on every build.

We’re BBB accredited and active in the Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA), with more than 2,000 completed outdoor projects since 2009. That experience shows up in tighter fit‑and‑finish, smoother inspections, and fewer surprises once work begins.

Permits, HOA Submittals, and Windstorm Compliance

We handle City of Baytown contractor registration and required permits for porches and patio covers. Baytown adopts a 150 mph Ultimate Design Wind Speed - our connections, hurricane straps, and uplift details meet or exceed that benchmark. For addresses in Chambers County or designated windstorm areas east of SH 146, we coordinate TDI windstorm inspections and provide WPI‑8 certification when required, so you stay insurable.

We prepare HOA/ARC packets with drawings, material specs, and color sheets, and we can provide engineered plans for larger spans, second‑story loads, or projects over ~350 sq. ft. If your property is near flood‑prone zones like Cedar Bayou, we’ll help navigate any floodplain review before breaking ground.

Materials, Equipment, and Craftsmanship Built for the Gulf Coast

From pressure‑treated pine and cedar to LVL/glulam beams, we select materials suited for humidity and salt air. We use Simpson Strong‑Tie connectors, hot‑dip galvanized or stainless fasteners, and proper post bases/anchors to prevent corrosion. Roof options include asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, and insulated panels with integrated gutters and downspouts for improved drainage.

Our crews bring the right tools - laser levels, miter saws, impact drivers, joist hanger tools, and oscillating multi‑tools - for precise installation. On tricky soils, we can specify larger piers or helical piles. For comfort, our TDLR‑licensed electrician handles wet‑location fans, lighting, and GFCI/AFCI protection per the NEC.

Local Knowledge, Communication, and Warranties

We work across Baytown - Goose Creek, Pelly, Wooster, and beyond - so we understand local HOAs, inspection checklists, and how Gulf weather impacts porches. You’ll get a dedicated project manager, daily updates, and tidy job sites that respect your property and neighbors.

We stand behind every build with a written workmanship warranty up to 5 years, plus manufacturer warranties (e.g., Trex 25‑year fade and stain). Our proposals outline scope, schedule, and payment milestones clearly, so you know exactly what to expect from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to build a porch or patio cover in Baytown?
Most porches, roofed patio covers, and structural remodels require a Baytown building permit. We prepare HOA/permit‑ready drawings, handle contractor registration, and submit for approval on your behalf. Projects must meet 2018 IRC/IBC and Baytown’s 150 mph Ultimate Design Wind Speed. If your location falls under TDI windstorm zones (certain areas near SH 146/Chambers County), we’ll coordinate the windstorm inspection as well. We manage the entire process through final inspection.
How much does a screened porch cost in Baytown TX?
Pricing depends on size, foundation needs, roof structure, and finishes. In Baytown, a typical screened porch can range from about $22k–$45k, while upgraded options with composite decking, PVC trim, and electrical often run $35k–$65k+. Eze‑Breeze 3‑season rooms add cost but extend usability. We’ll provide a written estimate with line‑item options for materials, screen types (standard, solar, pet), and electrical so you can choose what fits your budget.
What porch roof styles do you build (gable, hip, shed)?
We build gable, hip, and shed/lean‑to roof systems, both attached and freestanding. The best style depends on your home’s roof geometry, drainage, and desired ceiling height. We size beams/rafters per span tables, integrate step flashing at tie‑ins, and add gutters/downspouts for water control. Roofing options include asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, and insulated panels, all installed to resist uplift in Baytown’s wind conditions.
How long does a porch project take from design to final inspection?
Design and HOA/permit approvals typically take 2–4 weeks, depending on HOA meeting schedules and city review times. Most porches build in 1–3 weeks once materials arrive. Larger or engineered projects can take 4–6 weeks. We provide a detailed schedule, manage inspections, and keep you updated daily. Weather can impact timelines, but we sequence work to minimize delays and protect the site.
Can you help with HOA approvals and architectural submittals?
Yes. We assemble complete HOA packets: scaled drawings, color/material samples, product literature (e.g., Trex/TimberTech), photos, and plot plans. We’ll address common ARC concerns like setbacks, roof pitch, and matching shingles/paint. Our team communicates with your HOA until approval is secured and coordinates any revisions requested so you don’t have to manage the paperwork.
What materials are best for low-maintenance porches near the Gulf Coast?
We recommend composite decking (Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon), PVC/low‑maintenance trim, stainless or hot‑dip galvanized fasteners, and Simpson Strong‑Tie hardware. For roofing, standing seam metal and insulated panels perform well in heat and humidity. Cedar or treated pine framing is common, while masonry column bases can add durability. We’ll tailor materials to your budget and maintenance goals.
Do you install ceiling fans, lighting, and outlets on covered patios?
Absolutely. Our TDLR‑licensed electrician installs wet‑location fans, recessed lights, dimmers, and GFCI/AFCI‑protected outlets per the NEC. We can add dedicated circuits, switch locations, and exterior‑rated boxes/conduit neatly concealed in beams or columns. Controls can be wired or smart‑enabled for convenience. All electrical work is permitted and inspected with the rest of the project.
Can you convert my existing patio cover into a screened porch or enclosure?
Often, yes. We assess the existing structure, foundation, and connections. If framing and footings meet code, we can add screen walls, doors, and kick plates, or upgrade to Eze‑Breeze vinyl‑glazed panels for a 3‑season room. If the structure isn’t adequate, we’ll propose reinforcement or re‑framing to achieve a safe, long‑lasting enclosure.
Do Baytown addresses in Chambers County need TDI windstorm inspections and a WPI‑8?
Many do. Properties in TDI‑regulated windstorm areas require inspections during construction and final certification (WPI‑8) for insurability. We confirm your address status, coordinate the TDI inspector, and build to the specified details (uplift connectors, fastener schedules, sheathing) so your certificate is issued without hassle. We include any required documentation in your closeout package.
Can you use helical piers for a porch foundation on problematic soils?
Yes. When soil conditions or load requirements call for it, we can specify helical piles installed with a torque head to achieve the required capacity. They’re great for minimizing excavation, reducing settlement, and working close to existing foundations. We’ll provide engineering as needed and connect posts with code‑approved brackets for a robust, long‑term solution.
