What's the difference between a pergola and a covered patio?
A pergola has open slats that filter sunlight but don't block rain. A covered patio has a solid roof that provides complete protection from both sun and rain — creating a true all-weather outdoor space. Post-Hurricane Harvey, many Friendswood properties have elevated foundations that require custom fence grading to maintain consistent height and drainage.
Can you match my home's roof with the patio cover?
Yes. We offer shingle-matched roofing that blends seamlessly with your existing roofline, making the patio cover look like an original part of your home. Friendswood permits for this work go through Friendswood Community Development, and we file them for you.
Are insulated patio panels worth it in Houston?
Absolutely. Insulated panels reduce under-cover temperatures by 15–20°F compared to non-insulated options. In Houston's 100°F+ summers, that difference transforms an unusable space into a comfortable outdoor room. Friendswood properties are typically 1970s-through-2000s homes on wooded, tree-heavy lots, which changes how we detail the build.
