Porch Construction, Screen Rooms, and Repairs Built for Waller County

Our core focus is designing and building long-lasting porches that complement your home and meet local codes. We combine proven framing methods with quality materials for porches that look great and perform in Texas heat, storms, and clay soil.

Custom Porch Construction

Want a front entry that makes a statement or a back porch that becomes your favorite room? We plan structure, roof pitch, and drainage, then build with pressure-treated pine or cedar, Simpson Strong-Tie connectors, and hot-dip galvanized fasteners. We install concrete piers below frost depth or helical piles for poor soils, and tie the roof with continuous ledger flashing. Expect clean lines, matching shingles, and IRC-compliant stairs/rails. Learn more about our Custom Porch Construction.

Screened Porch Installation

Enjoy the breeze without the bugs. We design screen rooms using TuffScreen, PetScreen, or solar screen, with kick plates where needed and GFCI-protected circuits for fans and lighting per 2023 NEC. Insulated aluminum roof panels or shingle-matched roofs keep the space cool. We build freestanding when needed to protect your home’s envelope. Learn more about our Screened Porch Installation.

Covered Porch Construction

Add all-weather shade and value. We engineer spans, uplift connectors, and lateral bracing for wind, and integrate gutters/downspouts for drainage. Choose standing seam metal or asphalt shingles to match your home; columns in cedar or PVC (AZEK) for low maintenance. We use a laser level for precise layout and moisture meters on tie-in points. Learn more about our Covered Porch Construction.

Porch Additions & Extensions

Need more space or a farmhouse-style wraparound? We handle structural loads, extended beams, and porch roof extensions with clean fascia transitions. On expansive clay, we recommend helical pier porch foundations with a torque-monitored drive head for predictable capacity. We coordinate permits with the City of Waller or Brookshire and help with HOA approvals. Learn more about our Porch Additions & Extensions.

Porch Repair

From rotten posts and soft floors to storm damage, we diagnose the root cause and fix it right. Services include rescreening, floor replacement (wood or composite), railing upgrades, ledger re-flashing, and stair/guard updates to meet 2021 IRC. We can convert an open patio cover into a screened enclosure and replace undersized footings. Learn more about our Porch Repair.

Certified Craftsmanship and Proven Materials

We’re a TrexPro Contractor and TimberTech/AZEK recognized, so you get manufacturer-backed best practices for composite floors and PVC trim. We design to the 2021 IRC, with code-compliant guards, handrails, and stairs that feel solid underfoot.

From pressure-treated pine (MCA) and cedar to AZEK columns and standing seam metal, we specify materials that perform in Southeast Texas. We use Simpson Strong-Tie connectors, hurricane ties, and uplift hardware so your porch resists racking and wind loads. Expect crisp roof tie-ins, ledger flashing with peel-and-stick membranes, and neat fascia transitions.

Licensed, Insured, and Safety-First

We carry general liability insurance and follow OSHA 29 CFR 1926 fall protection. Electrical work is performed by TDLR-licensed electricians to the 2023 NEC, including GFCI circuits for fans, lighting, and exterior outlets. Where plumbing or gas lines are involved (outdoor kitchen under a cover), we partner with licensed trades.

Permits aren’t a headache - we handle City of Waller contractor registration and permitting, Brookshire submissions, and Waller County development or floodplain approvals for rural sites. We also prepare HOA packages with drawings, material specs, and color selections for quick approvals.

Engineered for Clay Soil, Wind, and Heavy Rain

Waller County’s clay soils and sudden storms demand reliable foundations and water control. We install concrete sonotube piers to stable depth or helical pier porch foundations where soils are problematic, using a torque monitor to verify capacity. Lateral bracing and blocking reduce sway, and integrated gutters/downspouts move water away from slabs.

We use laser levels for grades, moisture meters at tie-in points, and Simpson Strong-Tie layouts for accurate framing. Roofs are matched for pitch, shingles, or standing seam metal, with proper flashing and sealants to prevent leaks at the house connection.

Local Knowledge and a Smooth Process

From Prairie View and Hempstead to Brookshire and Pine Island, we know local setbacks, building lines, and inspections. For rural tracts, we coordinate Waller County 9-1-1 addressing as needed. We provide clear timelines - typical covered porch builds take 3–7 working days after materials arrive; more complex screen rooms or wraparounds may take 2–3 weeks.

You’ll receive a written scope, drawings, and a single point of contact. Our crews protect landscaping, keep sites tidy, and review punch lists with you before closeout. We stand behind our work with written workmanship warranties and prompt service if you ever need us.

Frequently Asked Questions

What screen mesh options are available for Houston-area screened porches?

We offer fiberglass mesh for value, TuffScreen for durability, and PetScreen for homes with pets. Solar screen reduces heat and glare on west/south exposures, and fine-weave options help block mosquitoes common in Waller County. For higher wind resistance, we pair heavier mesh with reinforced frames and kick plates. We’ll recommend the best mix based on your exposure, pets, and budget during the design appointment.

Do I need a permit to build a porch or patio cover in the City of Waller?

Yes. The City of Waller requires permits and contractor registration. Plans must meet the 2021 IRC and zoning requirements such as setbacks and building lines. Brookshire has its own permitting process, and rural properties may need Waller County development or floodplain approval. We prepare drawings, handle submissions, and coordinate inspections so your project moves smoothly.

How long does screened porch installation take?

Most screen rooms take 3–7 working days after materials arrive. Projects with electrical, stamped concrete, or insulated aluminum roof panels may take 1–2 weeks. Add 1–3 weeks for HOA and municipal permits in Waller or Brookshire. We provide a detailed schedule up front and keep you updated daily during construction.

What does a screened-in porch cost near Houston and Waller County?

Costs vary by size, roof type, and finishes. As a general range, many screened porches land between mid-four and low-five figures, with upgrades like composite floors, insulated panels, and lighting adding more. We provide a line-item estimate so you can prioritize features and fit your budget. Site conditions, permits, and foundation type also influence pricing.

Can you add ceiling fans, lighting, and outlets to my porch?

Absolutely. We coordinate TDLR-licensed electricians to install GFCI-protected circuits, fan-rated boxes, and weather-resistant devices per 2023 NEC. Popular upgrades include dimmable LED lighting, dual ceiling fans, and convenience outlets. We can add dedicated circuits for outdoor kitchens under a covered porch or plan low-voltage options for accent lighting.

How do you tie a new porch roof into an existing roof without leaks?

We match pitch and shingles, then use proper step/continuous flashing, underlayment, and sealants at the connection. Where a ledger is used, we install continuous metal flashing with peel-and-stick membrane. On some homes, a freestanding design avoids penetrating the structure. Our goal is a clean transition with reliable water management and integrated gutters.

Will a screened porch keep mosquitoes out in Waller County?

Yes, when built with tight screen systems, sealed perimeters, and self-closing doors with sweeps. We often recommend TuffScreen or finer mesh, add kick plates where needed, and seal slab transitions. For heavy mosquito pressure, pairing screens with a ceiling fan improves comfort by increasing airflow and discouraging insects.

Do you install helical pier foundations for porches in poor or expansive soils?

Yes. Helical piles are a great option for expansive clay or limited-access areas. We install them with a drive head and torque monitor to verify load capacity, then connect with engineered brackets. They minimize excavation, reduce mess, and provide predictable performance where traditional piers are challenging.

Can you convert my existing pergola into a fully roofed and screened porch?

In many cases, yes. We evaluate the existing structure, add proper footings or helical piles if needed, reinforce framing with Simpson Strong-Tie hardware, and install a code-compliant roof and screen walls. Electrical and drainage are upgraded as required. You’ll end up with a comfortable, code-compliant outdoor room.
