Why You Should Invest In A Patio Cover

 

Your gorgeous patio is now finished and you love every square inch of it. However, now you have the great debate of whether or not you should have a patio cover installed. The answer to this question is a resounding yes! There are so many awesome benefits that come along with investing in a patio cover and three of them will be discussed here.

Preserves Your Patio

The cost to install your patio was not cheap and it is something that you’d like to keep around for a long time. Repairs to your patio can be costly, and one big reason why you may need repairs is because your patio is constantly being exposed to the elements. A great way to slow down this weathering and deterioration process is to install a patio cover. This patio cover blocks your patio from a lot of the elements that it would otherwise come in contact with regularly, such as rain, snow, sun exposure, etc. This alone can save you a great deal of money in the long run and makes a patio cover an excellent investment.

You Get More Out Of Your Space

When you choose to install a patio cover to go over your patio, you are going to get a lot more out of your space. This is due to the fact that you can use the patio in different weather conditions that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to comfortably. It also makes it much more enjoyable and relaxing to cook, eat, and otherwise entertain outside because of the extra protection it offers.

Increases The Value Of Your Home 

When you invest in a patio cover, you are increasing the overall value of your home. Your patio and patio cover are seen as extended living space, which will help your home to appraise for more. Also, if you did want to sell your home at some point, potential buyers will likely be more interested in your home if you have a gorgeous patio and protective patio cover.

Enjoy Your Outdoor Living Area with a Covered Patio

As a homeowner, you want to spend your money wisely when it comes improvements and additions. It is best to consider your wants and needs, but you should also think about the most versatile options. For instance, when it comes to adding an outdoor living area, one of the smartest choices is a covered patio because it provides you with so much versatility and so many options for furnishing and using the space.

Enjoy Easy Furnishing and Decorating

Without a covered patio, you have to consider many factors for buying furniture, such as how the climate will affect the furniture that you purchase. It is ideal to get furniture that will not experience substantial wear and tear from constant exposure to the sun or getting hit with heavy rain on an annual basis. However, a covered patio allows you to avoid these particular issues.

Protect Yourself from the Elements

Not only do you want to protect your furniture from the elements, but you want to make sure that you and your family are protected as well. A covered patio provides you with the perfect alternative to an uncovered patio or deck, which are both popular options for outdoor living spaces.

Get Comfortable Furniture

Although it is not impossible to get comfortable furniture for an uncovered patio, you will have a more difficult time finding furniture that can last through the years and remain comfortable at the same time. Without the elements to worry about, you can focus on getting the coziest furniture.

Turning Your Patio into a Perfect Outdoor Living Area

 

When we drive around Texas, whether it’s Houston, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio or Forth Worth, we’re dismayed by the state some patios are in. Too often, when renovating their homes, homeowners focus on the inside. But as anyone who’s lived in Texas for a while knows, being outside can be just as enjoyable as being stuck inside. So why not turn your patio from a simple concrete part of your yard into the perfect outdoor living area?  We’d love to help you do just that.

Start with the Foundation

A good patio, one that you’ll truly enjoy spending time in, begins with a solid foundation. That means creating a surface that is both durable and beautiful, which is more difficult to achieve than you may think. Surfaces that are durable and easy to maintain, such as poured concrete, simply does not look the part, while the more beautiful alternative – sandstone or quartz – take quite a bit of maintenance.

Fortunately for you, we have the perfect solution. Our concrete overlays make your existing patio both beautiful and durable, creating a sandstone-like look that your guests will rave about. It’s the perfect foundation for an outdoor living area.

The Sky is the Limit

Of course, it doesn’t end there. The Texas sun can get pretty hot, and it may even rain a time or two. So why not check out our options for patio covers? Not only will they protect you from the elements as you enjoy your time outside, they also add a design feature to your house that will be sure to get approving comments from your neighbors and passers by. You can decide on the exact amount of sunlight and air you want to let in to your new and improved outdoor living area, and we’ll design and build a patio cover that’s perfect for your needs.

So what are you waiting for?  Contact us today to get your home ready for the Texas summer!
