Patio Covers and Porches in Roma, TX

From March through October, a bare slab behind your house is too hot to use. If your truck sits in full sun, a carport is the other common ask.

We build patio covers, carports, pergolas and porches in Roma, fifteen minutes from our Rio Grande City base. North of town the back slab is usually bare. Downtown the work is often rebuilding posts and beams on a porch that is already there.

Local conditions02

What houses in Roma actually deal with

Roma sits in zone 1 with Rio Grande City, so distance adds nothing to the price of a cover. Miles only reach an estimate past zone 2, out where the Valley turns toward the coast. What changes the number here is covered square footage, the span between posts and the slab you already have.

The heat season here runs March through October. A bare slab behind the house is unusable for eight months of the year.
North of US-83 the newer subdivisions come with a back slab and no cover at all. That is the most common call in Roma.
Older homes near the historic district often already have a front porch. There the work is new posts, a new beam and new decking.
Masonry walls downtown take a different anchor than frame walls. A cover cannot hang off old brick on lag screws alone.
Trucks sit in full sun on most Roma lots. Carports get asked for about as often as patio covers do.
Hail and straight line wind between March and May decide the hardware. Posts get concrete footings and every rafter gets a tie.

Permits and requirements

A covered structure usually needs a permit, because it changes the footprint of the house. We confirm what Roma requires for your address before we quote.
Anchoring into a historic building downtown can add review on top of the permit, and that answer has to arrive before the posts go up, not after.
A carport out front is a setback question more than a structural one, and the answer differs between a downtown lot and one north of US-83. We measure that before anything gets drawn.

Which homes has David Aceves helped build?

Homes built by Cuates Construction, with David Aceves on the build. Look at the covered patios, the posts and beams and the concrete underfoot: David plans a porches and patio covers job with that same eye.

Questions we get04

What people in Roma ask us

Can a patio cover attach to an old masonry wall in Roma?

Often yes, with the right anchors into sound masonry. We drill and test first, because old brick and mortar do not hold a lag screw the way framing does. If the wall is soft, the cover stands free on its own posts instead.

Do you build carports big enough for two trucks here?

Yes, and it is a common ask in Roma, where most lots park outside. We size the bay to the trucks you actually own instead of a catalog width, and the posts land clear of the driveway apron so nobody backs around a column. On a narrow downtown frontage a long single bay usually beats a short double one.

My front porch is original to the house. Can you rebuild it instead of replacing it?

Usually. We replace the posts, the beam and any rotten decking, and we keep the roof line the house already has. The estimate lists piece by piece what gets saved and what gets replaced, so nothing disappears by surprise.
