Patio Covers, Pergolas & Outdoor Kitchens in Katy, TX

Backyards in Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch and Grand Lakes were laid out with a pool in mind, and a bare concrete slab next to that pool is the part of the house that gets used the least once the Texas sun is out in full. A cedar pergola over the water or a covered patio off the back door turns that same space into the part of the house everyone actually sits in, with an outdoor kitchen and a built-in grill next to it for the days nobody wants to go back inside. CH Remodeling and Construction frames and finishes all of it — the cover, the pergola, the stone kitchen — the same way it shows up in the photos on this site.

None of that goes up in these neighborhoods without a look from the HOA, and a pergola or a covered patio has to match the house rather than stand out from it to get approved — the roofline, the color, the material all get checked against the guidelines before a post ever goes in the ground. The land under it is flat and Katy gets heavy rain, so the posts holding up a cover or a pergola sit on real footings with drainage built in, not set straight into the dirt where standing water will work at them season after season. It starts with a WhatsApp photo of the backyard, the HOA guidelines if you have them on hand, and a no-obligation quote back, with a visit in person before anything larger gets built.
