Outdoor Living in West University, TX

Outdoor living in West University Place, TX is an exercise in using a city lot well. Yards here are rarely sprawling, which makes design matter more, not less — a covered patio proportioned to the house, an outdoor kitchen that earns its footprint, and lighting that makes the space as good at nine in the evening as at noon.

Outdoor living in West University Place, TX is an exercise in using a city lot well. Yards here are rarely sprawling, which makes design matter more, not less — a covered patio proportioned to the house, an outdoor kitchen that earns its footprint, and lighting that makes the space as good at nine in the evening as at noon.

We treat the backyard as another room of the home. Structures are detailed to match the house's architecture, materials are chosen to the same standard as the interior, and the utilities — gas, power, drainage — are engineered in from the start so the finished space performs for years.

What's Included

  • Covered patios and cedar pergolas tied into your roofline
  • Custom outdoor kitchens with built-in grills
  • Composite decking, pavers, and stamped concrete
  • Outdoor lighting and audio for evening entertaining

Outdoor Living in West University — Common Questions

Answers to the questions West University homeowners ask most about outdoor living. Don't see yours? Reach out for a free quote.

Can you build a real outdoor living space on a smaller lot?
Yes — West University lots are where thoughtful design shows its value. We scale the covered area, kitchen, and seating to the yard, use built-ins instead of freestanding pieces, and keep sight lines open so the space feels larger than its square footage.
What does an outdoor living project cost in West University?
The structure size, the appliance and finish package, and the utility runs are the main cost drivers. We design to your budget from the first conversation and deliver a free itemized quote so every element of the project is priced before construction.
Will the new patio structure match my home?
It should, and ours do. We carry the home's roof material, trim details, and masonry into the new structure and tie the cover into the existing roofline where the architecture allows, so the backyard reads as part of the original design.
How do you make an outdoor space usable through a Houston summer?
Deep covered shade, high-volume ceiling fans, and smart orientation do most of the work, and durable materials like stone and stainless handle the humidity. Designed together, they turn a West University patio into genuine year-round living space.
Client Reviews

Don't Just Take Our Word For It

Our greatest pride is the trust we've built with homeowners throughout the community.

Hector and his team were great to work with from the first meeting for concept planning to the last day of blue tape walk through and clean up. We had added covered patio that needed permits which his team handled. We had a few design changes along the way to meet city regulations but Hector was very collaborative with us at each change to make sure it fit our ideal backyard. The landscaping and paved walkway were also done to perfection. Now our backyard looks like it's out of a high end design magazine and we're ready for the Houston summer.

Covered Patio & Outdoor Living

This is my third time using HR Remodeling. The first time was after my house had a water line that busted and they had to totally reduce the downstairs of my home. Now I moved to a new home and they did a complete remodel. Not only was the work done in a short timeframe it was completed with quality. Their quote and billing process is easy and convenient. Workers show up when they say they will and they clean up after themselves.
