Project Details
A gable cover that shows its framing
Some homeowners want a roof over the patio and want to see how it is made. This job does that. We built a custom patio cover that ties into the house and leaves the rafters open overhead.
What we built
Here is what stands over the patio on this job.
- An attached patio cover about 16 by 28 feet in Houston, TX
- An A frame gable roof
- An open rafter ceiling, with the framing left exposed by design
- A painted beam and a painted gable truss
- A shingled roof
Open rafters or a finished ceiling
This is a choice the homeowner makes. Open rafters show the framing, the ridge and the roof decking. A finished ceiling hides all of that and carries fans and recessed lights flush. We will talk it through at your estimate.
How it was built
Every Patio Cover Katy patio cover is built on site by our own crew, with no subcontractors. This is how we frame them.
- Wood framed, with most columns 6 by 6, beams 2 by 12, and rafters 2 by 10 and 2 by 8.
- Galvanized bolts and hardware throughout.
- Footers at least 2 feet deep and 2 feet across, sized for the job.
- Shingles chosen to match the home.
- Permit fees and HOA fees included in the price.
A patio cover usually takes about 2 weeks to build, and that is our usual build time, not the time for this job. Book a free estimate and we will walk your yard with you.

The gable end from the yard
A painted beam runs across the front, with a painted king post truss in the gable. Exposed rafters and decking sit under the shingled roof.
The framing from underneath
The rafters, ridge and decking are left open overhead. The cover attaches along the home's brick wall.
Want something like this?
Patio Cover Katy designs and builds custom patio covers and roof extensions. Patio covers start at $14,000, and the price depends on the details you choose. Electrical, gutters, permit fees and HOA fees are included.
A vinyl or kit cover sells for about $2,000 to $3,000. We do not sell or install those, so if that is your budget, we are not the right company.
