Patio Covers
Shade and Shelter for Outdoor Living
Patio covers make outdoor spaces usable through more of the year by blocking intense Texas sun and providing shelter from sudden afternoon rain. In the Houston area, an uncovered patio can be too hot to enjoy for much of the summer, while a well-designed cover creates a comfortable extension of your living space for meals, relaxing, and entertaining. Oakmont Construction Group designs and builds patio covers for homeowners in Harris & Surrounding Counties, including attached roof extensions, freestanding structures, and pergolas. We match rooflines and materials to your home, install proper footings for local clay soils, and integrate flashing and drainage so rain flows away from your house. With more than 23 years of experience, our locally owned team can add ceiling fans, lighting, and outdoor finishes, communicates dependably, and cleans up thoroughly. Every patio cover is backed by our limited one-year workmanship warranty.

Outdoor Comfort Under Cover
Patio Covers That Blend With Your Home and Beat the Heat
A patio cover should look original and perform through Gulf Coast storms. These principles guide every cover we design and build.
Rooflines Matched to Your Home
Attached patio covers look best when they match your existing roof pitch, shingles, and trim. Careful design makes the cover feel like an original part of the house rather than an afterthought added years later.
Flashing That Keeps Rain Outside
Where a patio cover meets your home is a critical leak point. We install proper flashing and tie-ins at the connection, keeping heavy Houston rain flowing away from walls and preventing water damage inside. It reflects our pride in local craftsmanship.
Footings Built for Clay Soil
Local clay soils move with moisture, stressing posts and footings. We install footings suited to local soil conditions, helping your patio cover stay level, sturdy, and secure through seasons of wet and dry weather. We treat every home like our own.
Wind Resistance Considered
Tropical storms and strong winds put real force on outdoor structures. We use appropriate connections, fasteners, and structural details, helping your patio cover stand up to Gulf Coast weather year after year. That approach protects your investment long term.
Fans and Lighting for Comfort
Ceiling fans and lighting turn a covered patio into a true outdoor room. We coordinate electrical work for fans, lights, and outlets, so your space stays comfortable on warm evenings and usable after sunset. Our crews follow this on every job.
Permits and HOA Requirements Handled
Patio covers often require permits and HOA approval. We help you understand these requirements early and coordinate permitting, so your project moves forward smoothly and avoids costly problems or delays later. Doing it right avoids doing it twice.

How it works
How We Build Your Patio Cover
Your patio cover project begins with a consultation about how you use your backyard and what kind of shade and shelter you want. We evaluate your roofline, patio, soil conditions, and drainage, then discuss attached, freestanding, and pergola options along with materials, fans, and lighting. You receive a detailed estimate and schedule, including permit and HOA considerations, so you know exactly what to expect before construction begins.

During construction, Oakmont Construction Group installs footings, posts, beams, and roofing with careful attention to flashing, drainage, and wind resistance. We coordinate electrical work for fans and lighting, clean up thoroughly, and walk through the finished patio cover with you. Our limited one-year workmanship warranty adds peace of mind. To complete your backyard retreat, we also design outdoor living spaces throughout Harris & Surrounding Counties Our work does not end at installation.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Patio covers raise questions about design, permits, and durability. Here are answers for homeowners in Harris & Surrounding Counties
Should my patio cover be attached or freestanding?
Attached covers extend your roofline for convenient shade near the house, while freestanding covers work well elsewhere in the yard. The best choice depends on your layout, roof design, and how you use outdoor space.
Do patio covers require permits?
Many Houston-area jurisdictions require permits for patio covers, and HOAs often have design guidelines. We help you understand requirements early and coordinate permitting so your project stays compliant and avoids delays. We provide clear guidance.
Will a patio cover cause roof leaks?
Not when properly installed. The connection between the cover and your home needs correct flashing and drainage. We pay close attention to these details, helping keep rain flowing away from your walls and roof. We will gladly explain.
Can you add ceiling fans and lighting?
Yes. We coordinate licensed electricians to add ceiling fans, lighting, and weather-rated outlets, making your covered patio comfortable on warm evenings and usable for entertaining after dark. We keep the whole process simple and organized.

Many patio covers are completed in one to several weeks, depending on size, design, materials, permitting, and weather. We provide a timeline with your estimate and keep you updated throughout construction. Feel free to ask.
