Hear From Our Clients
You’ve got a patio or deck that sits empty most of the year. Summer heat pushes past 90°F with humidity that makes it unbearable. Mosquitoes take over the moment weather gets tolerable. Rain threatens plans without warning.
A LifeRoom installation changes that. Remote controlled screens drop down when you need protection and retract when you don’t. The cool mist system can drop surrounding temps by up to 40 degrees—real relief when Houston heat is at its worst.
You get UV protection that blocks 95% of harmful rays while keeping your view. No bugs. No sudden weather ruining dinner outside. Just a space that adapts to whatever’s happening, controlled from your phone or a remote.
This isn’t about adding square footage. It’s about making the space you already have actually usable when you want to be outside.
We’ve completed over 9,400 patio covers and sunrooms since 2005. We’re family-owned, and our team knows what works in this climate because we live here too.
Highlands homeowners deal with specific challenges—quarter-acre lots, homes ranging from starter to luxury, and weather that swings from brutal heat to flash flood warnings. We design every LifeRoom to fit your home’s style and handle what Houston throws at it.
You’re not getting a cookie-cutter setup. You’re getting a custom-designed system built by people who’ve seen what holds up and what doesn’t. We’re fully licensed and insured, and we finish on schedule.
First, we come to your home in Highlands and look at your existing patio or deck. We measure the space, check the structure, and talk through what you’re trying to accomplish. You tell us how you want to use it, and we show you what’s possible.
Next, we design the system to match your home. That includes selecting screen types, positioning the cool mist system if you want it, and planning the motor and control setup. Everything gets built to handle wind, rain, and sun without warping or fading.
Installation typically takes a few days depending on size. Our team handles the structural work, electrical connections for the motorized screens, and any additional features like lighting or fans. We test everything before we leave—screens, remotes, mist system, all of it.
Once it’s done, you’ve got full control. Screens go up and down with a button press. The space works when it’s 95°F outside or when a storm rolls in. You’re not calling us back to fix things because it’s built right the first time.

The core of any LifeRoom is the motorized screen system. These aren’t basic patio screens—they’re engineered to retract fully when you want open air and deploy in seconds when weather changes. You control them via remote or smartphone, and they’re built to withstand Houston’s wind and rain.
If you add the cool mist system, you’re looking at serious temperature drops. This matters in Highlands where summer heat indices regularly hit triple digits. The mist cools the air around your space without soaking everything, making August evenings outside actually comfortable.
UV blocking screens are standard. They cut 95% of harmful rays while maintaining visibility, which means you’re protected but not sitting in a dark box. The screens also keep out mosquitoes and other bugs that make outdoor time miserable from spring through fall.
We include options for integrated lighting, ceiling fans, and additional climate control depending on your setup. Every component is covered under warranty, and we only use materials that hold up to sun exposure and humidity. You’re not replacing screens or repainting in two years because the system’s designed for longevity in this climate.
Cost depends on the size of your space, the features you choose, and how much structural work is needed. A basic motorized screen system for a standard patio runs differently than a full setup with cool mist, upgraded screens, and integrated lighting.
Most Highlands homeowners are looking at a range that reflects a serious home improvement—not a weekend DIY project, but not a full room addition either. We offer financing up to $125,000 with competitive rates, which makes it manageable without paying everything upfront.
The best way to get an accurate number is to have us look at your space. We’ll measure, discuss what you want, and give you a detailed quote that breaks down exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Yes, but only if it’s designed for it. Houston’s climate is rough—heat indices above 100°F, humidity that sits around 80%, and sudden storms that come out of nowhere. A LifeRoom system is built specifically to handle these conditions.
The cool mist system is the key for heat. It drops the temperature in your space by up to 40 degrees, which is the difference between unbearable and comfortable. The screens themselves are UV-resistant and won’t fade or break down under constant sun exposure.
For humidity and rain, the motorized screens retract completely when you don’t need them, so there’s no trapped moisture or mildew issues. When weather hits, you close them up and stay dry. The materials we use—aluminum frames, treated fabrics, sealed motors—are all chosen because they hold up in Gulf Coast conditions year after year.
Most installations in Highlands take between two to five days depending on the size and complexity. A straightforward setup on an existing covered patio goes faster than a project that requires new structural support or electrical work.
We start by prepping the site and making sure your existing patio or deck can support the system. Then we install the framework, run electrical for the motorized components, and mount the screens and any additional features like mist systems or fans. Everything gets tested before we consider the job done.
You’ll have some disruption to your outdoor space during installation, but we keep the work area contained and clean up daily. Once we’re finished, the system is ready to use immediately—no curing time, no waiting period. You can start using your LifeRoom the same day we wrap up.
A patio cover gives you shade. A LifeRoom gives you control over your entire environment. The main difference is the smart screen technology and climate control features that let you adapt to weather conditions in real time.
With a standard patio cover, you’re still dealing with heat, bugs, rain blowing in from the sides, and UV exposure. A LifeRoom adds motorized screens that drop down to enclose the space when you need protection and retract when you want it open. Add the cool mist system, and you’re actively cooling the air, not just blocking sun.
The other big difference is usability. A patio cover works okay in spring and fall. A LifeRoom works year-round in Houston because it’s designed to handle extreme heat, humidity, and sudden weather changes. You’re not limited to the few weeks when outdoor conditions happen to be perfect.
No. The system is designed to be low-maintenance, which is the whole point. You’re not out there cleaning, adjusting, or fixing things constantly.
The screens themselves are made from materials that resist fading, tearing, and mildew. They don’t need special cleaning products—just occasional rinsing with a hose if dust builds up. The motors are sealed and protected from weather, so they keep working without regular service.
We do recommend checking the tracks and guides once or twice a year to make sure nothing’s blocking them, but that takes five minutes. If something does go wrong, the system is covered under warranty, and we handle repairs. Most homeowners in Highlands go years without needing any service beyond basic cleaning.
Yes, as long as the structure can support it. Most existing patios and decks in Highlands are good candidates, but we need to inspect the foundation, posts, and roof (if there is one) to make sure everything’s solid.
If your patio is already covered, installation is usually straightforward—we’re adding the screen system and any climate control features to what’s already there. If it’s an open deck, we may need to add a roof structure first, which changes the timeline and cost but is still very doable.
The advantage of adding a LifeRoom to an existing space is that you’re upgrading something you already have rather than starting from scratch. We design the system to match your home’s style, so it looks like it was always meant to be there. The end result is a space that functions completely differently than it did before—without tearing everything out and rebuilding.
