We design and build covered and screened porches, patio covers, and outdoor living upgrades with a focus on durability, safety, and clean finishes. From HOA submittals to final inspection, our process keeps your project on time and on budget.

Covered Porch Construction

Need shade and rain protection that looks like it was built with your home? We construct attached and freestanding covered porches using engineered footings and a continuous load path with Simpson Strong-Tie hardware. Options include gable, hip, or shed roofs with asphalt shingles or standing seam metal, insulated roof panels, gutters, and downspouts.

Choose pet-resistant screens, screen doors with closers, and integrated ceiling fans and lighting. Our TDLR-licensed master electrician handles circuits to 2023 NEC standards. We seal roof tie-ins, add gutters, and ensure proper floor pitch for drainage. Enjoy outdoor dinners without mosquitoes or debris - and lower indoor cooling loads with added shade.

Custom Porch Construction

Your porch should fit your lifestyle. We design custom porches with cedar or pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine structure, composite porch flooring (Trex or TimberTech AZEK), thermally modified wood options, and integrated lighting and fans. Our crew uses laser levels, miter saws, and ledger flashing tools to achieve tight tolerances and clean lines. Choose insulated aluminum or framed roofs, skylight panels for daylight, and gutter tie-ins to manage runoff. Expect smart design paired with meticulous craftsmanship. Learn more about our Custom Porch Construction services.

Porch Repair

Storms, rot, and failed ledgers can put safety at risk. We repair posts, beams, railings, and floors; replace deteriorated components; and bring older porches up to current IRC guard/handrail standards. We use stainless and galvanized fasteners, new joist hangers, and proper self-adhered flashing with Z-flashing at the ledger to stop water intrusion. After a free inspection, we provide a clear, itemized repair plan and timeline. Learn more about our Porch Repair services.

Why Choose Houston Porch for Porch Builder Pearland TX

We’ve completed 2,000+ outdoor projects across Greater Houston with a focus on safety, code compliance, and clean design. As a local, family-run team, we know Pearland’s neighborhoods, HOAs, and permitting process. Our builds follow 2021 IRC/IBC and local wind load criteria. From Shadow Creek Ranch to Silverlake, we deliver porch construction that’s engineered, inspected, and built to last.

Engineered for Weather and Code Compliance

Every project starts with permit-ready plans. We design for coastal wind loads in Brazoria, Harris, and Fort Bend Counties using a continuous load path, hurricane ties/straps, and Simpson Strong-Tie ledgers and hangers. For Brazoria County areas that require it, we coordinate windstorm engineering and inspection to help you obtain TDI WPI-8 documentation.

Attached covers receive proper step flashing and roof tie-ins. We integrate gutters and downspouts to manage runoff and protect foundations. Where roof penetrations aren’t desired, we offer freestanding patio cover designs engineered to meet wind uplift - and avoid leaks.

Materials and Craftsmanship That Last

We specify pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine or cedar posts and beams, stainless/galvanized fasteners, and Hardie soffit/fascia/trim for durability. Roof options include insulated roof panels (IRP), asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, and optional polycarbonate skylight panels for daylight. For floors, homeowners choose composite decking like Trex or TimberTech AZEK, or thermally modified wood for a rich, low-maintenance finish.

We use precision tools - laser levels, framing/finish nailers, ledger flashing tools, impact drivers, and miter saws - to achieve tight fits and clean lines. Case study: In 2024, we completed a gable roof patio cover in Shadow Creek Ranch (77584) with IRP, 6x6 cedar posts, integrated fans/lights via a TDLR-licensed electrician, and gutter tie-in - delivered in 18 working days.

Permitting, HOAs, and Project Management

Pearland projects often require city permits plus HOA architectural approval. We handle both. Our team prepares HOA packets (plans, elevations, materials, colors) for communities like Shadow Creek Ranch, Silverlake, and Southwyck, and coordinates City of Pearland permitting. We confirm setbacks, easements, utility locates, and drainage considerations up front to prevent delays.

Expect proactive communication, a clear schedule, and site protection from start to finish. If your home is near floodplains or drainage corridors, we conduct elevation and grading checks and incorporate gutter/downspout solutions to move water away from the slab.

Licensed Trades and Safety-First Operations

Electrical is performed by a TDLR-licensed master electrician to the 2023 NEC. Gas lines for outdoor kitchens are handled by a Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners-licensed plumber; irrigation reroutes by a TDLR-licensed irrigator. We follow guard/handrail standards for elevated porches and NADRA deck evaluation best practices.

Our crews use scaffolding, fall protection, and jobsite checklists. We’re registered with the City of Pearland and carry general liability insurance. You get peace of mind from day one through final inspection.

Transparent Pricing, Warranty, and Brands You Know

We provide detailed, line-item proposals and 3D visuals so you can see finishes before we build. Typical covered porch projects run on predictable timelines, with payment milestones tied to progress. We back our work with a written labor warranty and honor manufacturer warranties - like Trex fade and stain coverage (up to 25 years) and TimberTech AZEK limited warranties (up to 50 years, per product line).

We’re members of NADRA, GHBA, TAB, NAHB, and the BBB. Ask about our TrexPro experience and Trex RainEscape certification when planning dry-under systems for elevated porches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a patio cover or porch in Pearland TX?
Most attached patio covers and porches in Pearland require a building permit. We prepare permit-ready plans and submit to the City of Pearland, verifying setbacks, easements, drainage, and utility locates. If you’re in an HOA like Shadow Creek Ranch or Silverlake, we coordinate HOA approval in parallel to avoid delays. Freestanding structures may still need permits depending on size, height, and location. We’ll confirm requirements up front and handle the paperwork.
What building codes does Pearland use for porches and decks?
Pearland has adopted the 2021 IRC/IBC and the 2023 NEC. We design to current guard and handrail standards for elevated structures, use Simpson Strong-Tie hardware for ledgers and hangers, and follow proper step flashing and roof tie-in details. Wind load criteria vary by site and county. Our plans include a continuous load path, hurricane ties/straps, and footing sizes appropriate for Gulf Coast soils to meet code and pass inspection.
Is windstorm certification (WPI-8) required for patio covers in Pearland?
Parts of Pearland in Brazoria County may require windstorm engineering and inspection to qualify for TWIA/TDI windstorm eligibility. When WPI-8 applies, we coordinate a windstorm engineer, incorporate uplift connections, and schedule inspections so you can obtain the WPI-8 certificate. Harris and Fort Bend areas typically follow local permitting without WPI-8, but we still build to appropriate wind loads for safety and insurance peace of mind.
How long does a covered porch project take?
Typical timelines are 2–4 weeks for design, HOA approvals, and permitting, followed by 10–20 working days of construction depending on size, complexity, and weather. Projects with electrical, gas, or drainage work may add a few days for inspections. We provide a clear schedule up front, communicate milestones, and keep crews on-site consistently to finish on time without sacrificing quality.
How much does it cost to build a screened porch in Pearland?
Costs vary by size, roof style, framing, and finishes. As a ballpark, many screened porches we build land between $18,000 and $45,000, including roof tie-in, powder-coated frames, quality screen mesh, and electrical for a fan/light. Premium options like insulated roof panels, composite flooring, and upgraded trim increase budget. We’ll measure on-site and provide a detailed, line-item estimate so you can tailor scope and price.
Do you handle HOA approvals and city permits?
Yes. We prepare architectural packets for HOAs such as Shadow Creek Ranch, Silverlake, and Southwyck, then manage City of Pearland permitting. Our submittals include plans, elevations, materials, and color data. We also verify setbacks, easements, and drainage requirements. Handling both processes together reduces delays and keeps your project moving toward construction and final inspection.
Which is better for Houston weather: aluminum or wood patio covers?
Both can perform well when designed correctly. Extruded aluminum or insulated aluminum panels offer low maintenance and great heat reduction. Wood (cedar or pressure-treated SYP) blends with home architecture and supports heavier loads, fascia details, and shingle or metal roofing. We’ll compare lifespan, maintenance, and appearance for your home and budget, then recommend the best option for Pearland’s sun, rain, and wind.
What screen types work best for mosquitoes and No-See-Ums on the Gulf Coast?
For Gulf Coast pests, we recommend fine-weave No-See-Um mesh on powder-coated aluminum frames. Pet-resistant options are available for durability. We tension screens to limit sag, add door closers and sweeps, and can integrate kick plates where pets or kids are active. For airflow and durability balance, we’ll show sample swatches and help you choose the right mesh density for your porch.
Can a freestanding patio cover be engineered to avoid roof penetrations and still meet wind load requirements?
Yes. We regularly design freestanding patio covers with engineered footings, posts, beams, and uplift connections to meet local wind loads without tying into the home’s roof. This approach eliminates roof penetrations and potential leak points. We size members, specify Simpson Strong-Tie connections, and can include shear bracing, ensuring strength, stability, and inspection approval.
What setbacks and easements affect where I can build my porch in Pearland neighborhoods?
Setbacks and easements vary by subdivision and HOA. Common constraints include rear utility easements, drainage swales, and side-yard setbacks. We review your plat, deed restrictions, and HOA rules, then design within the allowable envelope. For covered porches, height and roof overhangs can also matter. Our permit-ready plans document compliance so approvals and inspections go smoothly.
