Outdoor Living

Patio Cover Builder in Dallas–Fort Worth

Big Tex Construction builds patio covers in Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas. A patio cover puts a solid roof over a patio or outdoor living area so it stays usable through summer sun and rain. We frame, roof and finish the cover, and we can pair it with a new concrete or stone patio.

Patio Covers

What's Included

North Texas summers make an uncovered patio hard to use for months at a time. A patio cover adds shade and keeps rain off the space, and because it is a real roof, it has to be framed and anchored to stand up to wind and storms. We plan the size, height and roof pitch around your house and how you want to use the space.

  • Patio covers over existing patios
  • Covers built together with a new concrete or stone patio
  • Posts, beams and roof framing
  • Roofing on the cover
  • Tying the cover into the house where it attaches
  • Finishing the posts and framing

Patio Covers FAQs

What's the difference between a patio cover and a pergola?

A pergola has an open slatted top that gives partial shade. A patio cover has a solid roof, so it blocks direct sun and keeps rain off the space underneath.

Can a patio cover attach to the house?

Often, yes. An attached cover ties into the house's wall and roofline, so how it connects depends on the existing roof height and structure. A freestanding cover works when attaching isn't practical.

Can you build the patio and the cover together?

Yes. We also do concrete and stone work, so a new patio and the cover over it can be planned and built as one project.

How do I get an estimate?

Call or text Mike at (469) 523-3345, or email bigtexconstruction@icloud.com. Texting photos of the patio along with your city and a short description of what you want done is the quickest way to get started.
