What we do, and how.
A backyard in Austin is unusable for a third of the year unless something is built for it: shade, a fan, a ceiling that keeps the rain off, a floor that does not scorch bare feet. Build those and the outside becomes the best room in the house — where you cook, eat and sit through the summer evenings.
We design and build the whole space: the roof structure and how it ties into the house, the slab or the deck, the outdoor kitchen with gas and water run to it, lighting, fans, screens, and a drainage plan that keeps it all dry. Permitted where it needs to be, priced as one fixed number.
What's in the contract

- Pergolas, shade structures and screened rooms

- Ceiling fans, lighting and outdoor-rated electrical
- Fireplaces and fire pits
- Drainage and grading so it stays dry
- Permits and inspections where the structure needs them

The reviews we
can't edit.
"We interviewed four remodelers for our kitchen. Home Remodel Pro was the only one who gave us a real line-item bid instead of a vague number. Finished two days early and the final price matched the contract exactly."
"They gutted both of our bathrooms while we lived in the house. Dust walls every day, floors covered, and our PM actually texted us updates. Painless."
"Added 480 square feet onto the back of our 1950s house. They handled the permits, the engineer, all of it. The new room looks original to the home."
What Austin homeowners
ask about a outdoor living build.
Costs, timelines, permits and what happens when something unexpected shows up behind a wall — answered the way we answer them at the kitchen table.
How much does a outdoor living build cost in Austin?
Our published Austin ranges are $35k–$60k for a covered patio, $60k–$110k for a patio with an outdoor kitchen, and $110k+ for a whole outdoor room. Your number is fixed in writing before demolition, and it only moves if you ask for a change or we find something genuinely hidden behind a wall.
How long does an outdoor living build take?
Construction runs 4–8 weeks, and most of it is weather-proof once the roof is on. Gas and electrical rough-ins are inspected before anything is closed up.
Do I need a permit for a covered patio or a deck?
A roofed structure attached to the house, a deck above a certain height and any gas or electrical work need a permit from the City of Austin; a ground-level paver patio usually does not. We pull what is needed and manage the inspections.
What materials hold up in the heat?
Composite decking over hardwood if bare feet matter, natural stone or light pavers over dark concrete, stainless and stone in the kitchen, and a real roof over a fabric cover. The sun is harder on a backyard than the rain is, and we specify for it.
Can you match the patio roof to the house?
That is the difference between an addition and an awning. We match the pitch, the fascia, the shingles or the metal and the ceiling finish, and tie the framing into the structure properly so it reads as part of the house.
Does the fixed price actually stay fixed?
Yes. Once selections are final and the contract is signed, the price only changes if you request a change or we uncover something genuinely hidden, like rot or failed wiring behind a wall. Any change is priced and approved in writing by you before we proceed.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We work with established home-improvement lending partners so you can spread the cost of a remodel into predictable monthly payments instead of paying everything up front. Your project consultant will walk you through current terms during your free estimate — asking costs nothing and does not affect your credit.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We carry general liability and workers compensation coverage, and all trade work is performed by licensed electricians, plumbers and HVAC technicians. We will send current certificates of insurance on request.
