Our team handles permits, HOAs, and inspections so you can enjoy your new space without stress.

Certified Design-Build Expertise

We bring NADRA-certified practices, ICC residential code knowledge, and OSHA 10/30 safety training to every project. Our designers prepare HOA-ready submittals with site plans, elevations, and material specs, plus 3D visuals so you can approve finishes before we order materials.

We’re TrexPro and TimberTech/AZEK experienced, which means proper framing spans, hidden fasteners, and ventilation details for composite surfaces. For screen rooms, we use SCREENEZE systems for large, stable openings that resist sagging and are easy to rescreen in the future.

Permits, HOAs, and Code Compliance

Richmond requires permits and inspections for most porch and patio cover projects. We apply through the MyGovernmentOnline (MGO) portal, submit engineer-stamped roof tie-in details, and schedule inspections. You’ll stay updated at every milestone.

HOAs in Aliana, Harvest Green, Veranda, and Long Meadow Farms often need color samples, roof profiles, and site plans. We provide complete packages and communicate directly with your ACC to speed approvals while meeting setbacks, height limits, and finish requirements.

Engineered Construction and Safety

Structures are built on engineered piers or slab extensions with proper rebar and concrete strengths. Roof loads are transferred to posts and beams sized for span and deflection. We integrate ledgers with step-flashing, use Simpson Strong‑Tie joist hangers, hurricane ties, and wind‑uplift connectors appropriate for Fort Bend County conditions.

Electrical is installed to NEC standards by Texas-licensed electricians. If your porch includes a gas grill or fireplace, we coordinate licensed plumbers for gas line work and follow clearance requirements for safe operation under a covered structure.

Materials and Equipment That Last

We recommend materials that stand up to heat, humidity, and storms: cedar or pressure‑treated pine framing, insulated aluminum roof panels or shingled roofs to match, and composite decking from Trex or TimberTech/AZEK where desired. For screens, we use Phifer, SuperScreen, or SCREENEZE for strength and durability.

Our crews arrive equipped with laser levels, impact drivers, hammer drills, and concrete mixers to ensure accuracy from layout to finish. Drainage is planned with gutters, downspouts, and site grading to protect your slab and landscaping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a porch or patio cover in Richmond? Do you handle it for me?
Yes. Most covered porches, patio covers, and screen rooms in Richmond require permits and inspections. We manage the entire process through the MyGovernmentOnline (MGO) portal: create a project, upload plans, engineer‑stamped roof tie‑in details, product specs, and site plan, then coordinate plan review and inspections. We also prepare HOA submittals. You’ll receive status updates at each step so your project stays on schedule and passes the first time.
What’s the cost range for a screened‑in porch in Richmond, TX?
Typical screened porch projects in the Richmond area start around $12,000–$18,000 for smaller builds and $20,000–$35,000+ for larger rooms with electrical, tongue‑and‑groove ceilings, and premium SCREENEZE or SuperScreen systems. Costs vary by size, roof complexity, slab work, and finishes. We provide a detailed, line‑item quote after a free on‑site consultation so you can compare options and choose materials that fit your budget and maintenance goals.
How long does it take to install a patio cover or screen room?
From signed agreement to final inspection, most patio covers take 3–6 weeks, and screen rooms 4–8 weeks, depending on HOA and permit timelines. Actual build time on site is typically 3–7 days for straightforward covers and 1–2 weeks for larger enclosures with electrical or masonry. We provide a written schedule, coordinate inspections in advance, and maintain clean, safe work zones throughout construction.
What materials do you recommend for Texas heat and humidity?
For structure, cedar or pressure‑treated pine performs well; steel/aluminum posts are great for long spans. For roof skins, we match your shingles or use insulated aluminum panels for cooler temperatures and low maintenance. For flooring, composite options like Trex or TimberTech/AZEK resist moisture and fading. For screens, SCREENEZE with SuperScreen handles large openings. We’ll recommend the best mix based on sun exposure, budget, and HOA requirements.
Can a new patio cover be tied into the existing roof without leaks?
Yes - when detailed correctly. We use engineer‑approved tie‑ins, continuous step‑flashing, counter‑flashing at walls or chimneys, waterproof membranes at penetrations, and properly aligned gutters/downspouts. We verify pitch, shingle type, and framing layout before tear‑off. Our team also checks attic framing to confirm load paths and uses Simpson Strong‑Tie connectors and anchors to meet IRC standards and Richmond inspection requirements.
Do you offer motorized screens or 3‑season porch systems?
Absolutely. We install motorized retractable screens for covered porches and louvered roof systems, plus 3‑season vinyl‑panel rooms (Eze‑Breeze style). Motorized units can provide bug control, shade, and privacy at the press of a button. We size openings, plan electrical, and recommend screen fabrics based on wind and pet use. Controls, remotes, and wall switches are configured per your preference and NEC requirements.
Will you help with HOA approval and drawings?
Yes. We prepare a complete HOA package: site plan, elevations, roof profiles, materials, colors, lighting layouts, and neighbor notification forms if required. Neighborhoods like Aliana, Harvest Green, and Veranda often require shingle matches and brick/stone samples - we provide those. We coordinate directly with your ACC, respond to comments, and revise submittals until approved, then proceed to Richmond’s MGO permit submission.
What wind‑uplift connectors are recommended in Fort Bend County?
We commonly specify Simpson Strong‑Tie hurricane ties at rafter‑to‑beam, H1/H2.5 or equivalent, joist hangers, and post‑to‑beam connectors with appropriate fasteners. Ledger connections receive structural screws/bolts and proper flashing. For slab‑mounted posts, we use approved post bases anchored with wedge or Tapcon anchors sized per engineer specs. The exact hardware depends on spans, exposure category, and roof design to meet current IRC requirements.
Can motorized screens be retrofitted to an existing covered porch without new posts?
Often, yes. We evaluate your porch for mounting surfaces, spans, and wind exposure. If the header and posts can support the screen assembly weight and wind loads, we add blocking and run electrical to code, then install surface‑mounted housings. In some cases, we’ll recommend supplemental steel/aluminum framing or narrow posts to carry loads cleanly. A quick site visit confirms feasibility and pricing.
Is the estimate and on‑site design consultation free?
Yes. We offer a free on‑site consultation in Richmond, including measurements, photos, initial layout ideas, and a written estimate. For complex projects requiring engineer calculations or multiple 3D concepts, we’ll outline any design retainer up front - and credit it back when you build with us. You’ll know costs, timelines, and next steps before you commit.
