Shade & Comfort

Screened Porches Built for Alamo Heights

An unshaded deck in San Antonio is genuinely unusable for a good chunk of summer afternoons — surface temperatures climb, direct sun is intense, and mosquitoes show up the moment the sun drops. A screened porch, pergola, or solid patio cover solves both problems at once, and it's consistently the upgrade our repeat customers wish they'd done the first time.

Older homes in Alamo Heights often have additions and grade changes over the decades, so many decks here need custom framing solutions rather than a standard rectangular build to tie in cleanly with the existing house lines. When it comes to screened porches & patio covers specifically, The City of Alamo Heights has its own permitting office separate from the City of San Antonio, and the Historic and Design Review Board may weigh in on projects visible from the street. We coordinate directly with the city's building department to keep the paperwork moving.

  • Screened porches keep out mosquitoes and pollen year-round
  • Solid patio covers cut deck surface temperature significantly
  • Pergolas add partial shade while keeping the space open-air
  • Structures engineered for wind load and attached roof tie-in

Alamo Heights at a Glance

Custom decks for one of San Antonio's most established neighborhoods

Alamo Heights homes tend to sit on mature, well-established lots with established oak canopy, which shapes almost every deck we design here — placement has to work around root zones and dappled shade rather than open sun.

Our Process

How Screened Porches Works in Alamo Heights

01

Structure Consultation

We discuss whether a full screen enclosure, solid roof patio cover, or open pergola best fits your goals — bugs, shade, or both — and your budget.

02

Engineering & Roof Tie-In

We engineer the structure for wind load and, for attached covers, properly tie into your existing roofline and flashing to prevent leaks.

03

Construction

Framing, roofing or screen panel installation, and any electrical for fans or lighting are completed by our crew, typically over 1–3 weeks depending on structure size.

04

Final Details

Screen doors are hung and adjusted, gutters or drainage are tied in if needed, and we walk the finished structure with you before final payment.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

A pergola has an open or slatted top that provides partial shade while letting light and air through — good for filtered shade without darkening the space. A solid patio cover has a full roof structure that blocks sun and rain completely, functioning more like an extension of your home's roofline.
