Why DFW Homeowners Are Adding Patio Covers to Their Outdoor Space

March 25, 2024

Outdoor living is a big part of life in North Texas—but intense heat, heavy rain, and unpredictable weather can limit how often you use your patio. That’s why more DFW homeowners are investing in custom patio covers to turn their outdoor spaces into comfortable, year-round retreats.

At Texscape Solutions & Exteriors, we design and build high-quality patio covers across the DFW Metroplex, combining function, beauty, and protection. Here's why a patio cover might be the best upgrade you make this year.

1. Beat the Texas Heat with Shade

Summers in DFW are no joke. With temperatures climbing well into the 90s and beyond, uncovered patios can become unusable during peak hours.

A professionally installed patio cover provides essential shade, significantly lowering the surface temperature of your seating area and protecting your family from harmful UV rays.

We offer materials like aluminum, cedar, and composite that stand up to Texas sun without fading or warping.

2. Extend the Use of Your Patio Year-Round

Whether it's a summer BBQ or a cozy fall evening, patio covers make your space more livable throughout the year. Add ceiling fans for ventilation in the summer or heaters for winter, and you’ve got a four-season retreat right in your backyard.

Texscape patio covers are fully customizable—we can even integrate them with pergolas, lighting, and outdoor kitchens for a complete outdoor experience.

3. Protect Your Furniture and Flooring

Your patio furniture, grill, or outdoor kitchen is a major investment. Without cover, it’s constantly exposed to sun, wind, and rain.

A covered patio protects your outdoor assets, extending their life and saving you money on repairs or replacements.

We design covers that fit seamlessly over existing patios or hardscaping, ensuring a clean, polished look.

4. Add Curb Appeal and Resale Value

Adding a patio cover doesn’t just improve your quality of life—it also boosts your home’s value. Outdoor living spaces are among the most sought-after features for homebuyers in DFW.

Our team builds covers that match your home’s architecture, using trim, finishes, and roofing materials that blend beautifully with your exterior.

5. Enjoy Better Drainage and Weather Protection

Many homeowners deal with standing water or rain run-off on their uncovered patios. A well-built patio cover diverts rain with custom gutters and downspouts, keeping your patio surface dry and safe.

At Texscape, we incorporate drainage and grading into every patio cover project so water is managed properly, not just hidden.

6. Custom Designs for Every Home

No two homes—or patios—are the same. That’s why we offer a wide range of styles:

  • Open gable covers for airflow and open sightlines
  • Solid roof structures for full protection
  • Pergola-style shade covers for filtered light and aesthetic charm
  • Combination covers that mix roofing styles for a unique look

Our design team works with you to create a patio cover that fits your space, function, and personal style.
