The term “attached” means we physically tie the new roof framing into your existing roof system. In The Colony, that usually means cutting back shingles, installing a ledger board to the rafters or rim joist, and flashing it exactly like your original roof. The result is continuous shelter from your back door to the edge of the patio with no leaks and no gap for wind driven rain. You also get easier access to run electrical through the attic or walls for ceiling fans, lights, heaters, and TVs without exposed conduit. Because the cover is permitted and tied in structurally, it adds appraised value and passes home inspection. Want pricing for your The Colony layout? Call 469-340-0839 today.
Engineered for The Colony Weather, Wind, and Clay Soil
In The Colony, TX the sun is brutal from May through September with UV index values hitting 10 or 11. Afternoon patio slabs reach 130 degrees and vinyl furniture warps. A solid attached cover blocks 100% of UV and drops the temperature 15 to 20 degrees, so you actually use the space for lunch, dinner, and games. When storms hit The Colony, they bring 60 mph straight line winds and sideways rain. We design for 115 mph wind uplift using hurricane ties on every rafter, structural screws, and hold downs at the posts. Footings are 18 to 36 inches deep with 12 to 18 inch bell bottoms to resist The Colony’s expansive clay soil that lifts and drops with moisture. Flashing at the house uses step flashing and counter flashing so wind driven rain cannot get behind the ledger and into your wall cavity. Want an engineer’s take on your The Colony home?

We Handle The Colony Permitting and HOA Submittals
We handle permits in The Colony and across Denton County, Collin County, and Tarrant County as part of every project. You do not call the city, wait on hold, or figure out paperwork. We submit stamped drawings, site plan, and structural details showing setbacks from property lines, maximum height, lot coverage, and wind design. Most The Colony permits are approved in 3 to 10 business days when the submittal is complete. We meet the inspector for footing, framing, and final so you do not miss work. If the city asks for a revision, we handle it. Permit fees are included in your price, so there are no surprises. Building without a permit in The Colony risks red tags, fines, and trouble when you sell the house. Have HOA questions too? Get answers at 469-340-0839.
Attached Patio Cover Styles for The Colony Homes
Gable Attached: This style adds a peaked roof that ties into your existing gable or creates a new gable projection off the back of the house. You get height, airflow, and a vaulted ceiling that makes the space feel bigger and more open. It works on most The Colony two story homes and adds architectural interest that appraisers notice. We match your existing shingles, ridge vent, and fascia so the new gable looks original to the house. Inside, we can vault the ceiling or add a tongue and groove ceiling for a finished look. Electrical is hidden above the ceiling for fans and lights. This style is popular in The Colony because it sheds water fast and looks high end. Typical spans are 12 to 24 feet wide with depths of 10 to 20 feet. Want a gable design? Call 469-340-0839.
Construction Details for The Colony Attached Patio Covers
We do not use prefab kits in The Colony because roof heights, slab sizes, fascia conditions, and setback requirements are always different. Kits assume a perfect world and they fail in The Colony wind. We build in the real world. After footings pass inspection, we frame posts, beams, and rafters. Every connection uses structural hardware, not deck screws. We notch beams around existing vents and gas lines so your The Colony cover works with what you already have. Electrical is run in conduit or through framing during the build so your patio is ready for fans, lights, heaters, and TVs on day one. We add a dedicated circuit if needed and install GFCI protection per code. After roofing, we paint or stain all exposed wood, install gutters, and seal every cut end to prevent rot. Final cleanup includes magnet sweep for nails and haul off of all debris. Questions on framing? Call 469-340-0839.
Pick the Right Material for Your The Colony Attached Patio Cover
Engineered Wood: Laminated veneer lumber or glulam beams for longer spans with less twisting, checking, and sagging. Great for The Colony when you want a wood look but need to cross 20 to 24 feet without a center post that blocks your view. Engineered beams are straighter and stronger pound for pound than solid sawn lumber. We wrap them in cedar or paint them to match your trim so you get the performance of engineered and the look of real wood. They cost more than solid cedar but you save on posts and footings. We use them on high end The Colony projects where the span or design demands it. They also take stain well if you want a natural look. Questions on spans? Ask an expert: 469-340-0839.
Our Process in The Colony From Estimate to Final
Step 3: HOA and city submittal. We submit drawings, site plan, and engineering to your The Colony HOA and pull the city permit. Most The Colony permits take 3 to 10 business days. We handle HOA resubmittals if they ask for color changes or more detail. You do not chase paperwork. Step 4: Build. Our The Colony crew frames posts and beams, sets roofing, installs fans and lights, then paints or stains. Most attached covers take 3 to 6 days depending on size, weather, and electrical scope. We protect your landscaping, use tarps for dust, and clean up daily. Step 5: Inspection and final walkthrough. We meet the The Colony inspector for footing, framing, and final, correct any punch items on the spot, do a final walkthrough with you, and haul off all debris. You get care instructions, warranty info, and photos of the flashing before it was covered. Check our timeline? Dial 469-340-0839.

The Colony Homeowners Ask Us These Questions
Q: Do attached covers cause roof leaks in The Colony? A: Not when it is flashed correctly. We remove shingles at the tie in, install ice and water shield, step flashing on each shingle course, counter flashing under the siding, then re shingle. Water cannot get behind the ledger. We warranty the roof tie in on every The Colony project for as long as you own the home. We also photograph the flashing before we close it up so you have proof for insurance or resale. The key is tying into framing, not just siding, and using the same details your original roofer used. We have done hundreds in The Colony with zero leak callbacks because we follow manufacturer specs and code. Still concerned? Ask about flashing: 469-340-0839.
Q: What ceiling height can I get in The Colony? A: It depends on your existing fascia height and the pitch we need for drainage. Code requires 1/4 inch per foot minimum. Most The Colony covers finish at 8 to 10 feet at the beam. On a 12 foot projection we drop at least 3 inches from house to beam. If you have a tall two story, we can vault it for 10 to 12 feet at the peak. If you have an 8 foot single story, we keep it open with larger beams and a shallow pitch. We will show you exact heights on the 3D before we build so there are no surprises. We also check door swing and window head heights so the cover does not block anything. Need your height checked? Call 469-340-0839.
Q: Can you attach to brick or Hardie in The Colony? A: Yes. On brick or stone we use masonry wedge anchors or epoxy anchors into the rim joist or wall studs, not just the brick veneer. We seal every penetration and flash above with a metal cap. For Hardie or other siding we cut the siding, tie directly to framing, install Z-flash and counter flash, then trim with matching material or PVC. Both methods are approved in The Colony and pass inspection. We also verify there is blocking in the wall before we cut. If your home has foam sheathing, we use long fasteners to hit structure. Not sure about your siding? Call 469-340-0839.
Q: Price range for attached covers in The Colony? A: Size, roof type, material, and electrical drive cost. A 12×16 attached cedar cover in The Colony with shingles, one fan, and stain typically lands between $9,800 and $16,500 with permit included. A 20×20 with vaulted ceiling, 4 fans, lights, heaters, and tongue and groove ceiling runs $24,000 to $38,000. Open beam is less per square foot, vaulted shingle with electrical is more. Most The Colony attached projects run $55 to $85 per square foot fully built. Free estimates in The Colony take 30 minutes and you get a firm number, not a range.
