Patio Covers in Grapevine, TX
A patio cover is usually the first thing Grapevine homeowners ask us about, and for good reason. Summer sun bakes an open slab by early afternoon. A cover framed into your existing roof gives you a shaded room you will use from April through October.
A decade of covers, many of them next door to each other
Ever since its 2016 start, The Collective Outdoors has built across the Fort Worth area, and referrals drive a big part of that. It usually goes like this. One Grapevine family adds a cover, the people next door come over for burgers, and a few months on we are filing a permit a couple of houses away. Growth like that depends on the first cover still looking right years later.
It also means we have seen how covers age. We know which stains fade on a west wall, which fans move enough air under a tall gable and which roof tie-ins stay dry through a spring storm. That history shapes every cover we draw for a Grapevine home.
Matching a cover to a Grapevine house from the 1980s or 1990s
The median Grapevine home was built in 1987, and brick ranch and traditional styles lead the market. Many of those houses came with a tiny porch roof or nothing at all over the back door. A new cover should look like it was there from day one.
We match roof pitch, shingles or metal, fascia and trim color. Posts can be stained cedar, painted wraps or set on stone bases. Inside, choose a painted ceiling or tongue and groove wood, then add recessed lights, fans and outdoor heaters where you need them.
Three cover styles we build most often
Open gable
A peaked roof with exposed trusses gives height and light. It suits single story homes where a flat roof would sit too low against the eaves.
Hip or shed tie-in
When the existing roof will not take a gable cleanly, a hip or shed roof can follow the house line and still shed water toward the yard.
Freestanding cover
On a larger Grapevine lot, a detached cover can anchor a second seating area away from the house, often paired with a fireplace or kitchen.
Drawings, Grapevine permits and the build
Patio covers in Grapevine typically need a building permit from the City of Grapevine, reviewed by its Building Inspection Department. If your street has an HOA, it will want to see drawings too. Our in-house designers prepare both sets, with 2D plans and a 3D rendering so you can picture the cover against your actual house.
Once approvals are in hand, our crews frame, roof and finish the cover. Fans, lights and speakers can be wired during the build. Our showroom carries Big Ass Fans, Infratech heaters and Sonos and Sonance audio, so you can see and hear options before choosing. Walk through every step on our process page.
Want more than shade? Pair a cover with an outdoor kitchen built for Grapevine families or a stone fireplace or fire pit. If you prefer filtered light, compare this page with our Grapevine pergola options.
Patio cover questions from Grapevine homeowners
Will a new cover look original to my brick home?
That is the goal. We copy your roof pitch and roofing material, match trim paint and choose post finishes that suit the brick, so the addition reads as part of the house.
Can a cover go under the big trees in my yard?
Usually, yes. We place footings to limit root damage and check branch clearance during design. Sometimes the trees shift the cover to a different side of the patio, and that is fine.
What is the timeline for a Grapevine patio cover?
Timing comes down to three things: how big the cover is, which roof style you pick and how long permit review runs. After approval, crews frame and roof a standard attached cover in short order. You get a written schedule during design, so the calendar holds no surprises.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We work with LYON Financial, subject to lender approval, which lets many families build the full cover now instead of a smaller version.
