Custom Porch Construction

Need shade, rain protection, and a beautiful transition to the backyard? We design and build custom porches with engineered footings for expansive clay soils, proper drainage slope, and code‑approved ledger connections. Materials include cedar posts and beams, Hardie trim, and composite decking from Trex or TimberTech.

You get a porch tailored to your home’s architecture, complete with integrated gutters and lighting. Learn more about our Custom Porch Construction services.

Screened Porch Installation

Beat mosquitoes and enjoy the breeze with a screened porch built for Houston’s humidity. We install Phifer PetScreen, TuffScreen heavy‑duty mesh, or solar screens for glare control. Kick plates or brick knee walls protect the lower section, while insulated aluminum roof panels reduce radiant heat. Our process covers HOA submittals, permits, and NEC‑compliant wiring for fans and lights by a TDLR‑licensed electrician. Choose single, double, or sliding screen doors with pet options. Learn more about our Screened Porch Installation services.

Covered Porch Construction

Stay dry and comfortable with a covered porch that matches your roofline. We build gable, hip, or studio roofs with asphalt shingles or standing seam metal, flashing correctly at brick veneer to prevent leaks. Insulated roof panels and tongue‑and‑groove porch ceilings keep temperatures manageable in summer. Using a laser level, scaffolding, and powder‑actuated fasteners where appropriate, we ensure plumb, true lines and a clean finish. We also integrate gutters and downspouts to move water away from the slab. Learn more about our Covered Porch Construction services.

Front Porch Construction

Boost curb appeal and create a welcoming entry. We craft porticos and full front porch additions that align with HOA architectural rules and your home’s style, from farmhouse posts to brick or stone columns. We set posts on concrete footings with post base anchors, then finish with Hardie soffit, LED lighting, and code‑compliant stairs and railings. Our team handles stamped concrete options and color‑matched shingles and paint for a seamless look. Learn more about our Front Porch Construction services.

Porch Repair

From storm damage to rotten floors, we repair and replace structural members, railings, and porch roofs to the current IRC standards. We use moisture‑resistant materials, replace flashing, and upgrade connectors for today’s wind requirements. If termites or water intrusion are discovered, we correct the source and rebuild with durable species and proper coatings. You’ll get a detailed scope, photos, and a warranty when the work is complete. Learn more about our Porch Repair services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to build a porch in Stafford, TX?

Yes. Most porches in Stafford require a building permit and inspections through the City’s MGO Connect portal. We handle drawings, site plan, structural details, and scheduling inspections. If your property is in a floodplain or unincorporated area, Fort Bend County may add requirements. We also coordinate HOA approvals so the permit, color selections, and materials all align - reducing delays.

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

Pricing depends on size, roof type, slab work, and screen material. Typical ranges we see: 10x10 from $12k–$18k, 12x20 from $22k–$35k, and 16x24 from $38k–$60k+. Insulated roof panels, brick knee walls, and electrical upgrades add cost. We provide a line‑item estimate for Stafford homes so you can compare options like TuffScreen, PetScreen, or solar mesh.

Can you enclose my existing patio cover to create a screened porch?

Often, yes. We evaluate the existing roof and posts, then add screen wall framing, kick plates or knee walls, doors, and code‑compliant electrical. We verify ledger attachments, add wind‑uplift hardware, and integrate gutters. If structure or footings are undersized, we propose upgrades so the enclosure meets IRC and passes Stafford inspections.

What porch roof style is best for Houston weather - gable or flat (studio)?

Both work when engineered correctly. Gables vent heat and feel open; studio roofs are budget‑friendly and fit low eaves. We flash at brick veneer, size rafters for spans, and add integrated gutters and downspouts. For south‑facing porches, insulated panels or a tongue‑and‑groove ceiling with radiant barrier can noticeably reduce heat gain.

Which screen material is best for pets and mosquitoes?

For durability, Phifer PetScreen or TuffScreen resist claw damage and impacts. For mosquito control and sun glare, we can combine tighter weave with solar screen panels in strategic bays. We’ll show samples on site so you can compare visibility, airflow, and shading before we finalize your Stafford porch design.

How long does it take to build a porch in Stafford?

Design, HOA, and permitting typically take 2–4 weeks. Build time for a standard screened or covered porch runs 1–3 weeks depending on size, electrical, and finishes. Complex projects with stamped concrete, brick columns, or motorized retractable screens may extend to 4–6 weeks. We provide a calendar with key inspection dates.

Will my HOA need plans and color/material approvals?

Almost always. We prepare a complete HOA package - site plan, elevations, materials, colors, and roof shingle match. We also provide product datasheets (screens, connectors, roofing) when requested. Our goal is first‑pass approval so your Stafford project moves straight into permitting and construction.

What wind-uplift hardware and fastening schedule do you use?

We specify Simpson Strong‑Tie connectors - post bases, joist hangers, hurricane ties, and rafter ties - per manufacturer specs and the IRC. Fastener type, spacing, and uplift values are documented in your build packet. We also anchor posts to concrete and add ledger bolts with proper spacing and flashing to meet local wind requirements.

Are motorized retractable screens reliable in Houston humidity?

Yes, when installed to manufacturer guidelines. We use corrosion‑resistant components, protect wiring to NEC, and set proper tension and tracks for smooth operation. Routine cleaning and annual checks keep them running. We’ll review warranty coverage and recommend models that perform well near the coast and in Fort Bend County.

Can ceiling fans and recessed lights be installed in a porch roof?

Absolutely. Our TDLR‑licensed electrician roughs in wiring to code, adds fan‑rated boxes, GFCI/AFCI protection where required, and sealed trims for outdoor use. We can place switches, dimmers, and remote controls for convenience, then coordinate electrical inspections with the City of Stafford.
