We Know Austin Backyards
Austin homeowners know outdoor living isn't a luxury - it's how you actually use your house for nine months of the year. For 40+ years, we've built decks, covered patios, pergolas, and gazebos across every Austin neighborhood from Westlake to East Austin to South Congress. Our Austin builds are engineered for 100°+ summer surface temps, the occasional hard freeze, and the expansive clay soil that destroys poorly built outdoor structures.
"Austin is where we've done more work than any other city - thousands of projects since 1984. What we've learned: the soil varies more than people realize. Tarrytown, Clarksville, and Rosedale are often on limestone or rock; Circle C, Mueller, and the east side tend to be expansive clay. Same deck, different footings. We engineer each project to the lot, not a template."
- Peter Toomey, Founder
Why Sunrooms & Screened Porches Matter Here
Central Texas has one of the longest mosquito seasons in the country - roughly February through November in a warm year. That means an open patio is a battle for most of the year, and an uncovered one is unusable all summer. A screened porch gives you the breeze without the bugs. A sunroom goes further: real windows, real comfort, and usable square footage in January and August alike. Either way, you're converting space you avoid into space you live in - and quality enclosed outdoor space is one of the features Austin-area buyers consistently pay attention to.
Bug-Free Outdoor Living
Mosquitoes are the number one reason Central Texas patios sit empty. A properly built screen room ends that problem completely - evenings on the porch from spring through fall without a citronella candle in sight. We build tight: screen panels tensioned correctly, doors that seal, and no gaps at the roofline where bugs sneak in.
Built as a Real Structure
We don't staple screen to an existing patio and call it a screen room. We frame screened porches and sunrooms as true structural additions - engineered posts and beams, proper roof tie-in, correct flashing where it meets your house. That's the difference between 5 years and 30 years.
Three Levels of Enclosure
Screened porch, three-season room, or four-season sunroom - we build all three and we'll tell you honestly which one fits your budget and how you'll actually use the space. Plenty of clients start with screens and upgrade to windows later; we can design for that from day one.
Convert What You Already Have
If you have a covered patio or a solid deck, you may be closer to a screened porch than you think. We assess the existing structure, tell you straight whether it can carry the new loads, and quote the conversion at a fraction of a ground-up build when the bones are good.
Austin-Specific Considerations
Expansive Clay Soil
The challenge: Much of Austin - especially east of MoPac and the southeast - sits on highly expansive clay that swells when wet and contracts in drought. Cheap footings fail within 3-5 years.
How we handle it: We assess each lot individually. On clay, we install deeper footings that reach below the active soil zone, plus proper drainage to keep water moving away from the structure. On limestone, we drill directly into rock for rigid support.
Full-Sun Texas Summers
The challenge: Surface temps on unshaded decks exceed 140°F in peak summer. Composite boards can scorch bare feet; wood can check and split.
How we handle it: We select materials engineered for Texas heat - specific composite lines that reflect more light, cedar and ipe that handle sun better than pine. We also design shade into the build with pergolas, covered roofs, or strategic orientation.
Austin Permit + Tree Ordinance
The challenge: Austin has one of the strictest permit processes and protected-tree ordinances in Texas. Unpermitted or poorly documented projects can delay home sales or trigger fines.
How we handle it: We've pulled thousands of Austin permits and know the tree preservation requirements inside out. We coordinate with arborists when needed and ensure every project is fully permitted and inspected.
HOA & Historic District Rules
The challenge: Neighborhoods like Tarrytown, Hyde Park, and parts of East Austin have active neighborhood associations with architectural standards or historic preservation rules.
How we handle it: We've submitted hundreds of designs to Austin HOAs and historic boards. We design for first-time approval and handle the submission paperwork.
