Mesquite runs from older subdivisions like Town East Estates and Tealwood to newer streets around Solterra, so back yards range from decades-old slabs to brand new ones. Either way, a Texas summer makes an open patio hard to use, and a cover built to match the house is what gets people back outside.
Before any design work, we decide with you whether the cover should hang off the house or stand on its own, since Mesquite handles the two very differently. Attached is the usual pick on older Town East and Tealwood homes, where the roofline is long and the yard is tight. Freestanding makes sense when you want shade out by a pool or garden. Once that is settled, we size the footings and roof, and we plan fan wiring before the ceiling closes.

Spans the whole back wall so the table and grill share one roof.
Shade on its own posts out by the water or garden, away from the house.
A shallow shingled roof that shades the front door and entry.
Ceiling fans, lights and outlets run so the covered slab works after dark.
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 Mesquite projects, so just ask.

Most Mesquite neighborhoods have no HOA, but communities like Solterra, Falcons Lair and Ridge Ranch do, and their associations 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. On a non-HOA street, the city’s zoning rules are the standard we build to.

Mesquite treats any addition to a home as permitted work, and a cover over the back patio counts, with inspections along the way. Estrada draws the site plan, files the application and books those visits.
Mostly access to the yard and a survey if you have one. The city wants a site plan for freestanding covers, and a survey saves us measuring every line from scratch. Also tell us about any detached garage or shed near the patio, since tying a cover into one changes which rules apply.
Often, yes. If the house already meets its setbacks, the attached cover usually can too, and the city sets no size cap for that case. Full width then becomes a design question: how the roof meets the existing gutters, and whether one long span or a break over the door looks better.
It can make sense on older homes that have neither. One crew can match both roofs to the house in a single pass. The front cover has tighter limits than the back, so we design it first and let the patio cover carry the larger share of the shade.
We walk your Mesquite yard, give you a straight price, and show you how the cover is built and tied in.
