Hear From Our Clients
You stop canceling plans when it hits 98 degrees at noon. Your outdoor furniture isn’t fading or getting soaked every other week. The space you invested in becomes somewhere you actually want to be—not just look at through the window.
Houston gives you about 106 days over 90 degrees, plus sudden storms that drench everything in minutes. A solid patio roof handles both. It drops the temperature underneath by blocking direct sun, cuts your cooling costs when shade covers the back of your house, and keeps rain off your grill, seating, and anything else you’d rather not replace every few years.
You’re not adding square footage, but you’re getting more usable space. That’s the part that matters. Covered patios in Hunters Creek Village consistently add value when it’s time to sell, and they make the home more livable while you’re in it. It’s one of the few upgrades that pays you back in comfort now and dollars later.
We’ve been building outdoor living structures since the 1970s. We’re not new to Houston weather, and we’re not experimenting with materials. Every patio cover we install uses aluminum engineered for heat, humidity, and wind—the stuff that actually happens here.
Our team handles the design, the permitting, the HOA paperwork if needed, and the installation. You’re working with people who’ve done this thousands of times across the Memorial Villages area. We know what works in Hunters Creek Village because we’ve built it here.
We don’t outsource the work. Our installers are trained on Four Seasons products and methods, and every project is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. If something’s not right, we fix it.
It starts with a consultation at your home. We look at your space, talk about how you want to use it, and go over options—full coverage, partial shade, integrated lighting, ceiling fans, retractable screens. You tell us what matters, and we design around that.
Once you approve the design, we handle permits and HOA approvals if your neighborhood requires them. Most Hunters Creek Village homes do, and we manage that process so you don’t have to chase paperwork. Then we schedule installation based on your timeline.
The install itself typically takes a few days depending on size and complexity. We’re building a structure that’s anchored properly, leveled correctly, and sealed against Houston’s weather. That means doing it right, not fast. When we’re done, you’ve got a covered outdoor space that’s ready to use the same day.
We walk you through everything before we leave—how to maintain it, what to expect, and how to reach us if you ever need anything. Then it’s yours.

Every patio cover we build uses aluminum with a baked-on finish that doesn’t need repainting or sealing. It’s designed to reflect heat, not absorb it, which keeps the space cooler and reduces the load on your AC when the cover shades your back windows. In Houston, that’s not a small thing.
You can choose solid patio roofs for full rain and sun protection, or insulated panels that cut down on noise and add an extra layer of heat control. We also install options like recessed lighting, ceiling fans, and retractable screens if you want to keep bugs out during evening use. Everything’s customizable based on how you plan to use the space.
In Hunters Creek Village, most installations also include coordination with HOA architectural guidelines. We submit the plans, handle any revisions, and make sure the design fits the approval requirements before we start building. The goal is a structure that works for your home and meets the standards your neighborhood expects.
The materials are low maintenance. You’re looking at occasional cleaning with soap and water—no staining, no rot, no warping. Aluminum doesn’t break down in humidity or UV exposure the way wood does, so it holds up without constant attention.
Cost depends on size, materials, and features. A basic aluminum patio cover for a standard 12×12 space typically starts around $8,000 to $12,000. Larger areas, insulated roofs, or add-ons like lighting and fans will increase that number.
Custom designs cost more than standard kits because they’re built to fit your exact space and preferences. But they also last longer and perform better in Houston’s climate. We’re not selling you the cheapest option—we’re selling you the one that works.
Financing is available up to $125,000 if you’d rather spread payments out. We’ll give you a detailed quote after we see your space and understand what you’re trying to accomplish. No surprises, no pressure.
Yes, if the cover shades windows or doors on the back of your house. Direct sun heats up glass and walls, which makes your AC work harder. A patio cover blocks that heat before it reaches your home.
The effect is most noticeable on west- and south-facing patios where afternoon sun hits hardest. Homeowners in Houston typically see a reduction in cooling costs during summer months—not huge, but enough to notice. The exact savings depend on your home’s insulation, window quality, and how much shade the cover provides.
Insulated patio roofs perform better than standard aluminum if energy efficiency is a priority. They add a layer of thermal resistance that keeps heat from radiating down into the covered area. It’s a bigger upfront cost, but it pays back over time in comfort and lower bills.
Most likely, yes. Hunters Creek Village has architectural guidelines, and any exterior structure usually requires HOA review before installation. That includes patio covers, pergolas, and similar additions.
We handle the submission process. You’ll need to provide us with your HOA’s contact information and any design guidelines they’ve published. We prepare the drawings, submit them, and work through any feedback or revisions the board requests.
Approval timelines vary—some HOAs respond in a week, others take a month. We don’t start building until we have written approval. It’s not worth the risk of being forced to remove a structure after it’s installed because the paperwork wasn’t done right.
Most installations take two to four days depending on the size and complexity of the project. A straightforward aluminum cover over an existing patio slab goes faster than a custom design with electrical work, fans, and integrated screens.
Weather can delay things—we don’t install in heavy rain or high wind because it’s not safe and the work won’t hold up. If we have to pause for a day, we’ll let you know and adjust the schedule.
The timeline also includes permitting and HOA approval on the front end, which can add a few weeks before installation starts. Once we’re on-site, though, the physical build moves quickly. We’re not leaving your backyard torn up for weeks.
Aluminum doesn’t rot, warp, or need regular maintenance. Wood does. In Houston’s humidity, wood patio covers require staining or sealing every couple of years to prevent decay and insect damage. Aluminum just needs occasional cleaning.
Wood looks more traditional, and some people prefer that aesthetic. But it costs more to maintain over time, and it doesn’t perform as well in heat. Wood absorbs and holds heat, while aluminum reflects it. That makes a noticeable difference in how comfortable the space feels during summer.
Aluminum also handles wind and rain better. It’s engineered to meet building codes for wind load and weather resistance, which matters during Houston’s storm season. Wood can do the same, but it requires more structural reinforcement and ongoing inspection to make sure it’s still sound.
Yes, but it’s easier and less expensive to include them during the initial installation. Adding electrical work after the fact means running new wiring, cutting into the structure, and potentially dealing with additional permits.
Retractable screens can be installed later if the patio cover is designed with mounting points. Same with ceiling fans—if we rough in the electrical during the build, you can add fans whenever you’re ready. But retrofitting everything from scratch is more complicated.
If you’re not sure what you want right now, we can design the structure to accommodate future additions. That way you’re not locked in, but you’re also not paying to redo work later. Just let us know during the planning phase what you might want down the road, and we’ll build in the flexibility.
