Custom Patio Covers for North Texas Homes

Solid and insulated patio-cover systems designed to add dependable shade, weather protection, and a more comfortable outdoor living space. TexSun Exteriors has served North Texas homeowners since 2004.

Built for North Texas

Put a real roof over the space you want to use.

A patio cover changes when and how often you can use the backyard. The right roof can reduce direct sun, protect furniture, create a place for fans and lighting, and make the patio feel like part of the home instead of an exposed slab.

Choose Your Cover

Different roofs solve different problems.

Solid Roof

For maximum shade and reliable overhead weather protection. A strong choice when the patio needs to function more like an outdoor room.

Insulated Roof

For homeowners who want solid coverage plus improved thermal performance and a more finished ceiling appearance, where applicable.

Patio Cover + Pergola

Use solid coverage where protection matters most and an open pergola section where filtered light and architectural openness are preferred.

Attached or Freestanding

Design the cover around the patio, deck, and home.

Attached Patio Covers

An attached cover can create a natural transition from the house to the backyard. Roofline, wall and fascia conditions, drainage, door locations, windows, and existing construction all influence the final design.

Freestanding Patio Covers

A freestanding cover can provide shade over a detached patio, poolside seating area, outdoor kitchen, or other space where attaching directly to the house is not the best fit.

Existing Patios & Decks

Existing concrete or deck conditions should be evaluated as part of planning. TexSun can discuss how the proposed cover, posts, circulation, and surrounding outdoor-living improvements work together.

Comfort From the Start

Plan today for how you want to use the patio tomorrow.

Lighting & Fans

Think about evening use, ceiling fans, task lighting, outlets, and other electrical needs before the cover is built.

Shade Direction

A roof handles overhead sun, but orientation and late-day sun can still affect comfort. Screens or other shade solutions may complement the cover.

Future Screens

If motorized screens or a more enclosed room may be added later, discuss that goal during patio-cover planning so the projects can work together.

Outdoor-Living Layout

Furniture, grills, outdoor kitchens, doors, walkways, pools, and backyard views all influence post placement and the usable footprint.

Before You Buy

The roof is only part of the decision.

Attachment

The house, roofline, fascia, wall conditions, and available structural attachment points affect the design.

Water

Drainage, gutter locations, roof pitch, and runoff should be planned before the structure is built.

Sun

Afternoon sun can make a covered patio uncomfortable even when the roof blocks overhead exposure.

Future Features

Fans, lights, screens, heaters, or other additions are easier to plan for before construction.

Patio Cover Questions

What homeowners commonly ask before an estimate.

Can a patio cover be attached to my house?

Often, but the appropriate approach depends on the home, roofline, fascia or wall conditions, drainage, and the proposed cover. TexSun evaluates those conditions during project planning.

Can you cover an existing patio or deck?

Existing patios and decks can be considered, but their condition, dimensions, layout, and the proposed support locations need to be evaluated for the individual project.

Can I add fans, lights, or screens?

Those features are best discussed early. Planning ahead can make it easier to coordinate electrical needs, ceiling-fan locations, and future motorized or fixed-screen options.

Do you offer solid and insulated roofs?

Yes. TexSun works with solid patio-cover systems and insulated-roof options. The recommended system depends on the project goals, configuration, and current product availability.
