Covered Porch Construction

Protect your patio from sun and frequent Gulf Coast showers. We build insulated roof panel covers for cooler summers, or frame-and-shingle to match your home with proper waterproofing at the house tie-in.

Add recessed lighting, fans, and outlets with weather-rated boxes and AFCI/GFCI protection. Enjoy cooler surfaces, furniture protection, and year-round comfort.

Licensed Trades, Safety, and Engineering Where It Counts

Texas doesn’t license general contractors, so we staff state-licensed electricians and vetted trades for all electrical and gas work. We use GFCI/AFCI protection and weather-rated boxes outdoors per NEC. Elevated builds include OSHA-compliant fall protection. Long spans, complex roof tie-ins, or wind loads? We arrange engineer review so your porch is right the first time.

For hurricane-season winds, we specify Simpson Strong-Tie post bases, straps, and hurricane ties. Stainless fasteners combat coastal humidity, and concrete footings are sized for loads with anchored post bases for uplift resistance.

Materials and Systems Built for Houston Weather

We recommend pressure-treated pine or cedar framing, composite porch flooring for low maintenance, and insulated roof panels for cooler, quieter covers. Screen choices include fiberglass 18x14, 20x20 no-see-um, PVC-coated polyester for pets, or aluminum mesh - tensioned for a clean fit.

Want flexibility? We design louvered roof pergolas with insulated panels and screened walls, and motorized retractable screens that disappear when you want open air. These combos give shade, airflow, and bug control - perfect for Fort Bend summers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a porch or patio cover in Sugar Land?

Most Sugar Land porch, cover, and enclosure projects require permits. The city follows modern I-Codes and the 2023 NEC for electrical. We prepare drawings, handle submittals, coordinate inspections, and ensure details like ledger flashing, positive anchorage, and GFCI/AFCI protection meet code. If you’re in an HOA community, we’ll also assemble your architectural review packet with materials, colors, and elevations to streamline approval.

Do unincorporated Fort Bend projects need County permits?

Yes, some projects in unincorporated Fort Bend trigger County permitting - especially when adding slabs/enclosures, altering drainage, or working in or near a floodplain. We verify jurisdiction, perform floodplain checks, and file any County applications needed. Our plans include footing sizes, connector schedules, and roof details to satisfy reviewers. We also coordinate with MUDs/HOAs when applicable.

How much does a screened-in porch cost in the Sugar Land area?

Costs vary by size, roof tie-in, and finishes. In the Houston/Sugar Land market, many screened porches land between mid–$12k to $28k+, with premium sunroom-style enclosures higher. No-see-um mesh, composite flooring, insulated roof panels, and electrical upgrades add cost but improve comfort and longevity. We provide itemized estimates so you can prioritize features within your budget.

What does a typical patio cover cost in Sugar Land?

Simple attached covers often start around the high single thousands to low teens, while larger insulated-panel or shingle-tied roofs with lighting/fans typically range higher. Engineering for long spans, complex tie-ins, or storms can affect price. We’ll propose multiple options - aluminum systems, framed covers, or louvered pergolas - so you can compare value and maintenance.

Which screen mesh is best for Texas mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and pets?

For general use, fiberglass 18x14 works well. For tiny no-see-ums, choose 20x20 or specialty tightly woven mesh. Pet-friendly PVC-coated polyester resists claws and impacts. Aluminum mesh is rigid and long-lasting. We bring samples to your consultation and recommend the right mesh for airflow, durability, and visibility in Houston’s humid climate.

Can you attach a porch to brick veneer, or do you build free-standing?

We never attach a structural ledger directly to brick veneer. Where the wall construction allows, we use proper ledger attachment to the structural framing with flashing and waterproofing. Otherwise, we design free-standing porches adjacent to the home, engineered for wind uplift and drainage. Both approaches can look seamless with the right roof details and finishes.

How do you prevent wind uplift damage on porch roofs?

We specify Simpson Strong-Tie post bases, straps, and hurricane ties; anchor posts to concrete footings; and use positive connections from roof to foundation. Stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware resists corrosion. On larger spans or open exposures, we may include an engineer’s review and increase connector schedules to meet local wind considerations.

Do you handle HOA approvals in Sienna, Riverstone, Telfair, and similar communities?

Yes. We prepare complete HOA submittals with plans, materials, color matches, elevations, and lighting/fan specs. Our team is familiar with guidelines in Sienna, Riverstone, Telfair, Aliana, Greatwood, New Territory, and Pecan Grove. We coordinate revisions quickly and keep your project on schedule from approval to final inspection.
