Slab patios poured during the airport-era building boom turn into usable family space once a solid roof, engineered from the piers up, covers them. Serving Coppell and all of Dallas County.

Coppell’s housing grew up fast in the 1980s and 1990s after DFW Airport opened next door, and many of those back yards were built around an open slab patio. A properly built cover turns that slab into shaded space the family can use from spring through fall.
Here we settle the roof type before anything else. A solid roof on an attached cover brings an engineer into the foundation design, so we make that call at the first visit and line up the engineering while we draw. The packet then goes in complete, and each city inspection lines up with a stage of the build. That keeps you from waiting between stages on paperwork that could have been done at the start.

A solid roof tied into the house, shingled to sit with the main roof.
A freestanding roof near the pool, open on the sides for the breeze.
A gable profile drawn to suit Riverchase or Northlake Woodlands homes.
Ceiling fans and lights placed over the table and seating.
If you are torn between two sizes or roof styles, a 3D rendering settles it faster than a sketch. We can draw your cover in place and adjust it with you until it looks right.
It is available on request for Coppell projects, so just ask.

Coppell maps 92 HOA areas, including Riverchase, Northlake Woodlands, Coppell Greens and the Village at Cottonwood Creek, and associations like these typically review exterior additions like patio covers. Old Coppell also has its own historic design guidelines, so we check whether they apply. Estrada matches the roof pitch, shingle or metal finish and trim color to the house and prepares the plans for the HOA submission.

Coppell files covered patios under its accessory building permit, so yours needs one whether it ties into the house or stands apart. Estrada prepares the survey drawing and plan set, and coordinates any engineer stamp.
It depends on how you use the yard. Attached keeps the walk from the kitchen dry and looks like part of the house. A freestanding cover can sit out by the pool where the family spends summer afternoons, as long as it fits the distance rules for your lot. We sketch both options on your survey so you can compare.
You can, though planning it now saves a second round. Coppell handles those under the same permit type as a covered patio, so showing a future kitchen on the first drawings, with space for counters and a gas line, makes the next step simpler. We design the cover and kitchen together when you want both.
Ask for the architectural guidelines in writing and whether the board has a form for patio covers. Note any limits on roof material, color or height, and how long their review usually runs. Bring that to us, and we build the drawings around it so the first submission answers the board’s questions.
We walk your Coppell yard, give you a straight price, and show you how the cover is built and tied in.
