Why Estrada

A full drawing set before we build

Carrollton mixes older blocks near downtown with later neighborhoods like Josey Ranch, and many of those back yards still end at a bare slab behind the house. A covered patio gives that slab shade through the long Texas summer and keeps rain off the back door.

Carrollton reviews construction detail closely, so the drawings carry the real work. We settle post spacing, beam sizes and the roof tie-in on site, then draw exactly that, so nothing gets improvised on build day. Our crew builds from the same set the city approved. Fan and light locations are picked at the drawing stage too, which lets the electrician run wire before the ceiling goes up and the final inspection sees finished work.

  • Beam and post layout decided on site
  • Crew builds from the approved drawing set
  • Fan and light spots chosen while drawing
  • Flashing that sheds rain clear of the door
  • Owner on the job from start to finish

What we build

Patio cover options in Carrollton

Fully Drawn Attached Cover

An attached roof built exactly to the drawings the city reviewed.

Detached Garden Cover

A standalone cover on its own posts, out by the garden beds.

Rain-Line Back Door Cover

Flashed into the roof so water sheds clear of the back entry.

Fan and Light Package

Fans, lights and outlets run inside the ceiling before it closes.

Design first

Want to see it on your house first?

Some owners like to see the roof pitch and post spacing before they commit. We can model the cover against your house in 3D so you can try a different size or finish on screen.

Mention it when you book the measuring visit in Carrollton.

Before you build a patio cover in Carrollton

  • The City of Carrollton requires a permit to install a patio cover, arbor or gazebo, and any contractor doing the work has to be registered with the city.
  • The permit needs a plot plan or property survey showing where the cover sits, plus scaled plans, elevations and construction details that show how it is built and anchored, including materials and framing member spacing. We draw that set for you.
  • Additions to a single-family home, attached or detached, must meet the adopted International Residential Code and the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, so where a cover can sit depends on the lot. We confirm placement with Carrollton Building Inspection before we finalize the plan.
  • Electrical work for fans or lights has to be done by a Texas-licensed electrician who is registered with the city, and the job closes out with an inspection once the work is complete.

Carrollton HOAs

Carrollton neighborhoods such as Country Place, where Walden Homeowners Association at Country Place is registered, and Indian Creek have associations that typically review exterior additions like patio covers before work starts. Estrada matches the roof pitch, shingle or metal finish and trim color to the house and prepares the plans for the HOA submission.

Common questions in Carrollton

Will Carrollton want a permit before my patio cover goes up?

Carrollton permits every patio cover, and only contractors on the city’s registered list can do the work. Estrada is set up to file there, so we prepare the drawings and pull the permit for you.

How involved am I in the Carrollton drawings?

You approve the layout before we draw it in detail. We walk the yard with you, mark posts and roof height, and show where fans and lights go. After that we prepare the full set, file it and keep you posted during review. Your main job is answering questions about finishes.

Can I bring my own electrician for the fans?

You can, as long as they meet the city’s licensing and registration rule. Tell us early so we can coordinate who runs wire before the ceiling closes. If you have nobody in mind, we arrange it, and the wiring gets planned with the framing rather than added later.

What should I ask my HOA before we draw the cover?

Ask for the written rules on additions, the submission form and how often the board meets. Bring what you get to our first visit. We design inside those limits from the start, so the plans fit both the board’s review and the city’s.
