Why Estrada

Framed in, never hung on brick

Sachse back yards range from the curving cul-de-sac lots of Woodbridge to the wider mid to late 2000s lots in Sachse Farms, and many of them came with an open slab. A cover tied into the roofline makes that slab usable through a Texas summer.

The detail Sachse watches most is where the cover meets the house, so that is where our design starts. On the first visit we find the wall studs and roof framing behind the veneer and decide where the ledger and roof connection will land. Posts get their own footings, and the roof is flashed so rain stays outside the wall. Settling that connection first means the rest of the cover is drawn around something the city will accept.

  • Shade over the open slab most lots came with
  • Gable or shed roof to suit the back wall
  • Wood frame and roof matched to the house
  • 3D rendering for the HOA on request
  • Owner on site at every inspection

What we build

Patio cover options in Sachse

Gable Attached Cover

A gable roof over the patio, tied into the house and flashed.

Shed Roof Cover

A single-slope roof that runs off the back wall below the eave.

Detached Yard Cover

A standalone cover out in the yard for a second seating spot.

Wired Ceiling Package

Ceiling fans, lighting and plugs so the cover stays comfortable on July evenings.

Design first

A rendering before the first post

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 Sachse projects, so just ask.

Before you build a patio cover in Sachse

  • Sachse requires a building permit for an attached patio cover, with a scaled plan set that includes a site plan, framing and roof tie-in details, foundation details and elevations. A detached cover is permitted as an accessory building instead.
  • The city does not allow a patio cover to be anchored or attached to brick or siding, and any metal structure needs plans stamped by a licensed Texas engineer.
  • Ceiling fans, lights and outlets go on an electrical plan in the same submittal, and an electrical rough inspection is required when that work is in scope.
  • In the R-10 through R-15 districts the city handout sets the rear yard at 25 feet or 20 percent of the lot depth, whichever is smaller. Planned developments have their own standards, so we confirm your lot with Development Services.

Sachse HOAs

Woodbridge and Sachse Farms are established subdivisions, and associations in communities like these typically review exterior additions such as patio covers. We match the roof pitch, shingle or metal finish and trim color to the house and prepare the plans for the HOA submission alongside the city plan set.

Common questions in Sachse

What permit does Sachse require for a patio cover?

An attached cover needs a building permit, while a detached one goes through the accessory building process. Estrada prepares the full plan set, adds the electrical plan when your design calls for it, and files everything.

My house is all brick. Can it still have an attached cover?

Yes. Brick is a skin over the wall framing, so the cover connects to the studs and roof structure behind it. We find those members on site and show the connection on the drawings. Where the ledger meets the wall, the joint is flashed so water cannot run behind the veneer.

Should I add ceiling fans now or later?

Now, if you think you will want them. Putting them on the original plans means one inspection trip and wiring run before the ceiling closes. Adding them later means opening a finished ceiling and filing again, which costs you time and patience.

What will a Woodbridge association want to see?

Ask for its submittal form and any rules on roof color before we draw. Most boards want drawings and a picture of the finished look, and we can provide a 3D rendering on request. The HOA and the city review separately, so we send both at the same time.
