Upgraded Patio Cover Turns Storm Damage Into a Stunning Outdoor Retreat

There's something special about revisiting a project years later and making it even better. This custom patio cover, originally built in 2015, just received a complete transformation after storm damage led to a full home exterior reconstruction.

While opening up the ceiling to access MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) lines, we saw an opportunity to reimagine the entire space—enhancing comfort, function, and style for this Cypress, TX homeowner.

Highlights from this Exterior Renovation:

✔️ Stained wood ceiling upgrade – A rich, elevated look replacing the original beadboard for added warmth and elegance.

✔️ Smoker-friendly screened wing – Featuring a 30" directional fan to keep air flowing and smoke outside. Perfect for outdoor grilling enthusiasts.

✔️ Enhanced lighting & electrical – New fixtures and electrical access offer flexibility for entertaining and future enhancements.

✔️ Outdoor kitchen redesign – Upgraded with a Blackstone griddle and salamander oven for restaurant-level versatility.

✔️ New exterior walls, doors, and screens – Creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience with comfort and privacy.

✔️ Smokeless fireplace installation – Ideal for cool Texas evenings without lingering smoke.

What started as a storm repair turned into a fully redesigned covered patio retreat—proving that even unexpected damage can spark opportunity.
