Right now, your patio sits empty most of the year. Too hot in summer, too wet during storms, and completely overrun by mosquitoes the moment the sun goes down. That’s 106 days over 90 degrees you’re not using that space, plus another 180 days of rainfall keeping you inside.
A solid patio roof changes that. You get shade that actually drops the temperature underneath, protection from Houston’s unpredictable downpours, and a space you can use morning to night without getting cooked or soaked.
The difference shows up immediately. Your outdoor furniture stops fading. Your energy bills drop because you’re not blasting the AC to compensate for heat pouring through your windows. And you actually want to be outside again, which is the whole point of having a backyard in the first place.
This isn’t about making your patio prettier. It’s about making it functional in a climate that’s actively working against you.
We’ve been building outdoor living spaces at Four Seasons Sunrooms since the 1970s. We’re not new to Houston weather, and we’re not experimenting with your home.
Every patio cover we install in South Belt/Ellington uses structural aluminum that won’t rust, crack, or warp under Texas sun. Every project comes with a lifetime warranty because we know these structures hold up. And every installation is handled by our trained builders who’ve done this hundreds of times.
We’re licensed and insured in Texas. We offer free in-home consultations with upfront pricing. And we don’t disappear after the install—if something needs attention, we handle it.
You’re not getting a sales pitch. You’re getting someone who knows how to build a patio cover that works in this climate and will still be standing 20 years from now.
First, we come to your home for a free consultation. We measure your space, talk through what you’re trying to accomplish, and show you design options that actually fit your property. No pressure, no gimmicks—just a clear conversation about what works and what doesn’t.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we provide a detailed estimate that includes everything: materials, labor, timeline, and warranty coverage. No surprise fees, no vague line items.
Installation typically takes a few days depending on the size and complexity of your project. Our crew shows up on time, builds the structure to spec, and cleans up when they’re done. We’re not leaving your yard a mess.
After installation, you get a walkthrough to make sure everything meets your expectations. Then you get your lifetime warranty documentation and our contact information for anything that comes up down the road.
That’s it. No runaround, no delays, no wondering what’s happening next. Just a straightforward process that gets you a covered patio that works.
Ready to get started?
Every patio cover we build uses structural aluminum designed specifically for outdoor roof structures. This isn’t decorative—it’s engineered to handle wind load, rain, and the kind of heat that makes South Belt/Ellington summers unbearable.
You get custom sizing that fits your existing patio layout. You get integrated support for ceiling fans and lighting if you want them. And you get a finish that doesn’t require repainting or constant maintenance.
We offer solid roof designs that provide complete shade and weather protection, plus options that combine solid panels with decorative lattice if you want filtered light in certain areas. Each cover is built to match your home’s style without looking like an afterthought.
In South Belt/Ellington, where humidity averages 75% year-round and UV levels hit hazardous ratings six months a year, you need a backyard shade solution that actually performs. Aluminum patio covers handle that without breaking down, which is why we can back them with a lifetime warranty.
This is about function first. The fact that it looks good is secondary to the fact that it works in Houston’s climate and keeps working for decades.
Aluminum patio covers in the Houston area typically run around $38 per square foot, but your final cost depends on size, design complexity, and any add-ons like fan mounts or integrated lighting. A standard 12×12 cover would land somewhere around $5,500, while larger or more custom designs can go higher.
We provide upfront pricing during your free consultation so there’s no guessing. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before any work starts, and that price includes materials, installation, and warranty coverage.
If cost is a concern, we offer financing up to $125,000 with competitive rates. Most homeowners see a return on investment between 70-80% when they sell, and you’re getting immediate use out of the space instead of waiting years to enjoy it.
Yes, and the difference is noticeable. A solid patio roof blocks direct sunlight, which is what drives temperatures up on uncovered patios. You’re not sitting in 95-degree heat with a UV index in the hazardous range—you’re sitting in shade that can drop the temperature underneath by 15-20 degrees.
That also means your home stays cooler. When your patio and the windows facing it aren’t absorbing direct sun all day, your AC doesn’t have to work as hard. Homeowners typically see lower energy bills during summer months because they’re not fighting constant heat gain.
In South Belt/Ellington, where we hit 90+ degrees over 100 days a year, shade isn’t optional if you want to use your outdoor space. A patio canopy gives you that without the maintenance headaches of fabric awnings or the limited coverage of umbrellas.
Most installations take two to four days depending on the size of your patio and the complexity of the design. A straightforward single-section cover goes faster than a multi-level structure with custom angles.
We schedule everything upfront so you know when we’re starting and when we’ll be done. Our crew works efficiently without cutting corners, and we clean up at the end of each day so your yard isn’t a disaster zone while the project’s in progress.
Weather can occasionally push timelines if we’re dealing with heavy rain or high winds, but that’s rare. Once we start, we finish. You’re not waiting weeks between phases or wondering when someone’s coming back to wrap things up.
Almost none. Aluminum doesn’t rust, rot, or warp, so you’re not dealing with the constant upkeep that wood structures require. You don’t need to repaint it, reseal it, or replace sections every few years.
Occasional cleaning is about it—hosing off dust or pollen a couple times a year keeps it looking good. If leaves or debris collect on top after a storm, brush them off. That’s the extent of it.
This is one of the main reasons homeowners in South Belt/Ellington choose aluminum over other materials. Houston’s humidity and heat destroy wood and cause metal structures to corrode if they’re not built right. Structural aluminum handles the climate without breaking down, which is why we can offer a lifetime warranty on these covers.
Yes, that’s one of the most common installations we do. If you already have a concrete patio, we’re just adding the roof structure on top of it. We anchor the support posts into your existing slab, attach the frame to your home’s exterior wall, and build out the cover from there.
The process is straightforward and doesn’t require tearing up your patio or starting from scratch. As long as your concrete is in decent shape and properly positioned, we can work with it.
During your free consultation, we’ll assess your current setup and let you know if there are any issues that need addressing before installation. Most of the time, it’s a simple add-on that transforms the space without major construction headaches.
Yes, when they’re built correctly. Our patio covers use structural aluminum engineered to handle wind load and weather conditions common in the Houston area. The frames are anchored securely to your home and into the ground, and the materials don’t degrade under moisture or UV exposure.
We’re not installing lightweight decorative structures that blow away in the first storm. These are solid outdoor roof structures designed to stay put through high winds, heavy rain, and the occasional severe weather event that rolls through South Belt/Ellington.
That’s part of why the lifetime warranty matters. We’re confident these covers will hold up because we’ve been installing them in Houston for decades and they’re still standing. If you’re concerned about durability, ask to see examples of our work or talk to other homeowners in the area who’ve had their covers for years. The proof is in how they perform long-term.
