Custom Porch Construction

Get a porch built for your home’s architecture and the Texas climate. We size beams and posts from span tables, use Simpson Strong‑Tie connectors, and install footings engineered for expansive clay soils.

Covered Porch Construction

Beat the sun and rain with a gable, hip, or shed/flat porch cover that looks original to your home. We handle ledger attachment with proper flashing or build free‑standing frames where needed. Options include insulated aluminum roof panels, composite ceilings, lighting, and fans. We route gutters and downspouts to French drains to protect slabs and landscaping. Expect clean cuts, tight roof tie‑ins, and storm‑rated hardware throughout. Learn more about our Covered Porch Construction services.

Screened Porch Installation

Enjoy breezes without bugs. We install durable screen systems with standard 18x14 mesh or pet‑resistant TuffScreen, plus kick plates, screen doors, and smart wall layouts for furniture flow. Add motorized retractable screens for wide openings and seasonal flexibility. Electrical is installed per NEC (GFCI/AFCI) with wet‑rated fixtures. Ask about privacy and solar screens to cut heat and glare. Learn more about our Screened Porch Installation services.

Enclosed Porch Construction

Turn a porch into year‑round space with a code‑compliant enclosure. We can frame insulated walls, add low‑E windows, and integrate radiant barriers for comfort.

From shingle‑matched roof tie‑ins to insulated aluminum panels with built‑in fan beams, we build porch roofs that perform.

Why Choose Houston Porch for Porch Construction in Cypress, TX

We’re porch specialists who build to code, manage the details, and communicate clearly. Houston Porch brings 15+ years of experience, BBB accreditation, and a portfolio of porches built across Harris County. From screened porches to insulated roof patio covers, we deliver safe structures that match your home. Expect same‑week estimates, thorough designs, and a clean jobsite - every time.

Certified Expertise, Proven Materials, Real Craftsmanship

Our team maintains NADRA training, TrexPro and TimberTech AZEK familiarity for composite porch floors, and OSHA safety credentials. We specify Simpson Strong‑Tie connectors, galvanized/stainless fasteners, and engineered post bases to combat corrosion and uplift. For screen rooms, we use TuffScreen and heavy‑duty frames that hold up to pets and storms.

We follow the 2021 IRC and NEC 2020 for structure and electrical. Need lighting, fans, or outlets? We coordinate with licensed TDLR electrical contractors for GFCI/AFCI protection and wet‑rated fixtures. Considering gas for heaters or grills? We work with TSBPE‑licensed plumbers to ensure safe, code‑compliant installations.

Licensed, Insured, Permits and HOA Done Right

Texas has no statewide GC license, but permitting and registration matter. We handle City of Houston permits for porches, patio covers, and awnings, and we’re fluent in Harris County and ETJ requirements for unincorporated areas. Every project includes a Texas811 ticket - we call before digging and wait per state rules.

HOA ARC submittals are turnkey. We provide scaled drawings, color and material samples, and roof profiles that match your home. If wind load calculations or stamped drawings are requested, we coordinate engineering to ASCE 7 so your submittal moves quickly and confidently.

Equipment, Build Quality, and Safety

We use laser levels, chalk lines, miter/circular saws, and joist hanger nailers to keep every cut straight and every connection tight. Footings are sized for Cypress’s expansive clay soils, with steel reinforcement and control joints in new slabs to reduce cracking. We install integrated gutters and properly sized downspouts and route to French drains to protect foundations.

Safety is non‑negotiable: scaffolding and fall protection on elevated porches, PPE on every site, and clean staging to protect landscaping. Storm‑rated hardware, hurricane ties, and continuous load paths are standard, not upgrades - so your porch is ready for summer squalls.

Local Knowledge and Reliable Scheduling

We’ve built in Bridgeland, Towne Lake, Fairfield, Coles Crossing, Cypress Creek Lakes, Blackhorse Ranch, and Marvida. We know the look HOAs prefer and how to match brick, siding, and shingles so your porch looks original. We also understand sun angles, prevailing winds, and mosquitoes, so screened and shaded designs work better year‑round.

You’ll get a clear timeline: design and HOA/permit assistance typically 1–3 weeks, standard builds 3–7 days depending on scope. We back our work with a written workmanship warranty and responsive service. Ask about design upgrades like motorized retractable screens or insulated aluminum roof panels to beat the heat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a patio cover or porch in Houston/Cypress?
Inside Houston city limits, most porch covers, enclosures, and patio roofs require permits and inspections. In unincorporated Harris County/ETJ, structural and drainage rules still apply even if a full permit isn’t always required. We verify jurisdiction, prepare drawings, and handle submittals. We also open a Texas811 ticket before digging, as required by law. If your HOA needs approval, we provide plans, colors, and materials to streamline ARC review.
How much does it cost to build a covered porch near Cypress?
Budgets vary by size, roof style, materials, and electrical. As a ballpark, simple shed‑roof covers often land around $45–$75 per sq ft; gable/hip roofs with electrical typically run $70–$120 per sq ft. Insulated aluminum panel roofs with fan beams add comfort and can be cost‑competitive. New concrete slabs in the Houston area generally range $8–$14 per sq ft (broom), and $12–$20 for stamped/stained. We provide clear, itemized quotes.
What’s the difference between a pergola and a porch cover?
Pergolas are open structures that provide partial shade with slats or polycarbonate tops. They’re great for airflow but don’t fully block rain. Porch covers (roofed porches/patio covers) use shingles, standing seam metal, or insulated aluminum roof panels to provide complete weather protection. In the Texas heat, many Cypress homeowners choose covered porches with fans and lighting for all‑day use, and add motorized screens for bug control when needed.
Are insulated roof panels available for porches, and how cool do they keep the space?
Yes. Insulated aluminum roof panels (typically 3–6 inches) offer roughly R‑12 to R‑24 and include fan beams for wiring. They reduce radiant heat, quiet rain, and keep the underside ceiling cooler compared to conventional framing alone. Paired with light‑colored finishes, ceiling fans, and optional solar screens, most clients report notably lower midday temperatures and better year‑round comfort on Cypress porches.
Do you offer motorized retractable screens or four‑track vinyl windows?
We install motorized retractable solar/bug screens for wide spans and seasonal use. For 3‑season rooms, four‑track vinyl windows add wind and rain protection while keeping ventilation flexible. We also offer TuffScreen for durability and pet‑resistance. Each option can be integrated with covered porches, electrical for controls, and HOA‑friendly finishes that match your home’s exterior.
Can I enclose my existing covered patio into a sunroom later?
Absolutely. We can design a porch now with “future sunroom” in mind - proper slab elevation, framing layout, and electrical planning. Later, we add insulated walls, low‑E windows/doors, and weatherproofing. If HVAC is desired, we coordinate code‑compliant mechanical and electrical with licensed trades. Planning ahead saves time and cost and helps with HOA approvals.
How long does porch or patio cover installation take?
Most standard covered porches build in 3–7 working days after HOA/permit approvals. Screen rooms add 1–2 days; enclosures or new slabs extend timelines. Design, HOA, and permitting typically take 1–3 weeks depending on jurisdiction. We provide a detailed schedule before we start and maintain a clean, safe jobsite throughout.
Which materials last longest in Houston’s humidity and heat?
Cedar or pressure‑treated pine framing with galvanized/stainless fasteners holds up well when properly sealed. Composite porch floors from Trex or TimberTech resist rot and fading. For roofing, composition shingles to match your home or standing seam metal both perform; insulated aluminum roof panels excel at heat reduction. TuffScreen outlasts standard fiberglass screening. We recommend finishes and fasteners designed for coastal humidity and storms.
What size posts and footings are needed for a porch cover?
It depends on loads, spans, and soil. In Cypress’s expansive clays, we often use deeper, larger‑diameter piers with rebar, sized per engineering and span tables. Posts are typically 6x6 or larger. We create a continuous load path using Simpson Strong‑Tie connectors and uplift hardware, and we anchor beams and ledgers per IRC R507 best practices to meet wind requirements.
