SERVING GRANBURY, TEXAS
Patio Covers in Granbury, TX
A west-facing slab in Hood County can be too hot to stand on by mid-afternoon in July. A well-built cover fixes that. For Granbury homeowners, our team draws the cover first, whether it ties into the roofline or stands on its own posts. Then we handle the permit, our own crews do the framing, and the finish work adds fans, lights and heaters you can try out ahead of time at the Fort Worth showroom.
A Double Cover Built Across Two Seasons
One of our recent Granbury jobs shows how a large cover can fit a staged budget. The homeowner wanted shade along most of the back of the house, which meant a double attached patio cover. Rather than pay for all of it at once, they asked us to split it up.
So we drew the whole thing first. Our in-house designers produced plans and 3D renderings for both covers together, set the post locations, beam heights and roof pitch, and confirmed how the second roof would meet the first. We built cover one that year. The next year our crew returned and added cover two. Nothing had to be torn off or reworked, because every connection point was decided before the first footing was poured.
That is the value of designing in-house. You see the finished result on screen before you sign, and later phases follow a drawing instead of a guess.
Cover Styles That Suit Hood County Houses
Attached gable or shed roofs
Tied into the house and shingled to match, an attached roof reads as part of the original home. It is the most common choice for brick houses in newer Granbury subdivisions.
Freestanding structures
When the best shade spot sits out in the yard, a freestanding cover creates a second outdoor room. It works well over an outdoor kitchen or a seating area near a fire feature.
Shades, fans and heat
Motorized drop shades block low western sun and wind. Big Ass Fans and Infratech heaters from our showroom extend the season in both directions.
Sun, Permits and Lot Rules in Granbury
Granbury summers bring long, bright afternoons, and many back patios face west. A solid roof with a stained cedar or painted ceiling drops the temperature under it noticeably and protects furniture from fading. Add a ceiling fan and the space stays usable into August evenings.
Permits depend on where you live. Inside city limits, the City of Granbury Building Inspections Department handles structural permits, and builders must be registered with the city. Homes near the historic courthouse square may sit inside a historic district that adds a design review step. Out in Pecan Plantation or DeCordova, the HOA reviews the plans instead. We prepare engineered drawings for whichever office applies and handle the submittal for you. The full process lays out each step.

Why Granbury Homeowners Trust Our Crews Overhead
Since 2016 we have framed roofs over North Texas patios, and that has taught us a lot, and many trade partners on our jobs have stuck with us more than 15 years. That continuity means the electrician who wires your fans already knows how our beams are built.
Fort Worth Magazine's readers keep picking us as their favorite outdoor store, five years and counting. Star-Telegram readers also chose us for DFW Favorites in the Patio Builder category. If financing helps, LYON Financial offers payment plans, subject to lender approval.
Granbury Patio Cover Questions
Can I add a second patio cover a year or two later?
Yes, and we have done exactly that in Granbury. Design both covers together up front. We build the first, and the second ties into it cleanly whenever you are ready.
Will a new cover make my living room darker?
It can if the roof sits too low or too deep. We study window heights and sun angles in the renderings, then adjust roof pitch, depth or add skylights so the house keeps its light.
Does a patio cover count against my lot coverage?
The roof itself is a structure, and the slab beneath it is a hard surface. Inside city limits, Granbury limits impervious coverage, so we check your lot numbers before we finalize size.
