Covered Patios & Pergolas in Dallas, TX

In North Texas a patio without cover is unusable from June to September. Archetex builds covered patios, pergolas and free-standing pavilions with cedar beams, stone-base columns and the lighting run in before the ceiling closes up, so it looks like part of the house and not a carport in the back yard. This is the work they are best known for.

SCOPE

What this service covers.

This is the work we actually do. If you are not sure whether your job fits, send a photo and we will tell you straight.

Attached covered patios

Tied into the existing roofline so the pitch and fascia match.

Pergolas

Cedar or dark steel-look framing, open or slatted for filtered shade.

Free-standing pavilions

Set out in the yard over a pad, for pools, kitchens or fire pits.

Lighting and fans

Wiring run during framing, so there are no surface conduits afterwards.

Why people call about this.

  • The patio is too hot to sit on

    Cover is the difference between a slab and a room.

  • You want to be out there at night

    Integrated lighting is what actually gets the space used.

  • The concrete is already there

    Covering an existing pad is usually the cheapest square footage you will ever add.

QUESTIONS

Covered Patios & Pergolas: common questions.

A covered patio in Dallas typically costs $20,000 to $60,000 for a 300 to 500 sq ft structure with a solid roof, posts, electrical and ceiling fans (Block Renovation, 2026 Dallas guide). Smaller covers over an existing slab come in below that; stone columns, a gable roof tied into the house and a wood ceiling push it toward the top. Archetex Outdoor Design Co. quotes covered patios after a free site visit. Call Matthew on (430) 318-6275.

A pergola in Dallas typically costs about $3,000 to $8,000 installed, with an average around $5,400 (HomeAdvisor, Dallas). Large custom cedar pergolas, attached pergolas and ones with lighting run in cost more. Archetex Outdoor Design Co. builds custom cedar and modern pergolas designed to match the house, priced after a free site visit.

Archetex Outdoor Design Co. is a Dallas covered patio and pergola builder rated 5.0 on Google. Covered patios are the work they are best known for: attached patio covers matched to the roof pitch, cedar pergolas, free-standing pavilions, stone columns and integrated lighting, built across Dallas, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Richardson, Garland and Rockwall.

Often yes. The questions are the thickness of the slab, the footing depth and the edge distance for the posts. Matthew will check all of that before quoting.

A pergola filters light and keeps airflow; a solid cover keeps rain off. If you want to use the space through a Texas summer, solid cover with fans wins.

That is the point of designing it rather than ordering a kit. Pitch, shingle and trim are matched to the house.
