Celina, TX • Patio Covers & Pergolas
Patio Covers & Pergolas in Celina, TX
This is where the money goes in Celina. Your house is new and your kitchen is fine, but the builder handed you a bare concrete slab and a yard of sod, and that is the part of the property that is genuinely unfinished. Outdoor living is the upgrade that changes how a new Celina home lives.
It is also the work with the most review attached to it. Brand-new master-planned communities have the strictest architectural control of anywhere we build, because the developer is still enforcing the community standard while the neighborhood goes up around you. We plan for that from the first conversation.
Why homeowners in Celina hire us
We build the part the builder skipped
A slab, sod and a hose bib is not a backyard. A covered structure with a finished ceiling, fans, lighting and power, sitting on a properly sized surface, is the single highest-value thing you can add to a new Celina home.
Developer architectural review, handled seriously
Light Farms, Mustang Lakes, Cambridge Crossing and Glen Crossing enforce materials, colors, rooflines, setbacks and even post details while the community is still building out. We prepare the full submittal — elevations, site plan, materials, colors — and we do not start until it is approved in writing.
Matched to a house that is two years old
On a new home the cover has to look original or it looks wrong. We match pitch, shingle or metal, brick and stone details and column proportions so the structure reads as part of the elevation, which is also what the review committee is judging.
Drilled piers, correct flashing, city permits
Covered structures over about 200 square feet generally need a permit and attached structures generally need one at any size. We drill piers to depth for the clay, flash the ledger into a new roof without voiding anything, and file with the City of Celina.

Bare slabs in the fastest-growing city in America
Celina is adding residents faster than any city in the country, with new home sales up sixty-one percent year over year and construction still active across Light Farms, Mustang Lakes, Cambridge Crossing and Glen Crossing. Production builders in these communities deliver the same backyard almost universally: a modest covered or uncovered concrete pad at the rear door, sod, irrigation and a fence. Everything that makes a yard usable in a North Texas summer is left to the homeowner, which is exactly why outdoor living is the dominant project type here. Two local factors shape how we build it. First, the architectural review is the strictest we encounter anywhere in our service area — the developer is still actively protecting the look of a neighborhood that is only half finished, so materials, colors, rooflines and even where a post lands are all subject to written approval, and unapproved work can be ordered removed. Second, these are new roofs and new slabs, and both have to be respected: the ledger gets flashed into the roof properly, and the new structure gets drilled piers of its own rather than relying on a slab edge that was never designed to carry it.
