7 Creative/Stylish Ways to Cover Your Patio

One of the many things that’s so great about living in Texas is that we get plenty of days to enjoy warm and beautiful weather. From balconies, to patios or gazebos, there are plenty of ways of making your patio area look and feel like a fun and natural extension of your home.

But in addition to looking nice, you also want to make sure that your family is fully protected from the elements. For some people, that may mean a partial covering, while others may prefer a fully enclosed sunroom.

That’s where we come in. With all the personality you can hope to find in the great Lone Star state, we understand that each homeowner has their own vision for a perfect patio area. We’re proud to say these visions are attainable. And with the right contractor to get it done, you’ll have your dream home in a heartbeat.

7 Ways to Cover Your Patio

1. Retractable Awnings. Sometimes you want shade. Sometimes you want sunlight. Retractable awnings give you the option of having both. They also give you the flexibility of staying outside when there are rain showers. It really is the best of both worlds.

2. See-Through Covers. For days when there’s intermittent rain and mosquitoes, or beautiful clear skies but slightly colder than what you would like to endure, see-through covers provide the perfect solution. You get to soak in every single ray of sunshine without worrying about being exposed to less enjoyable elements.

3. Pergola Plants. No matter where you go, there will always be people who are big lovers of nature. Flowers and greenery are enough to make their environment feel just right. This is why it’s great that so many vines grow so well on pergolas. You get shade, ambiance, breathtaking decorations, and shade. Some of the options that grow well on this type of covering include wisteria, honeysuckle, grape vines, or even roses.

4. Thatched roof. There’s something uniquely relaxing about a thatched roof. The layers of straw and palm trees are reminiscent of island life, tiki bars, and sunsets over the ocean. What’s not to love? By installing it in your own home, you’ll get to indulge that tropical vibe year-round.

5. Patio Covers. If you prefer a more permanent fixture to your patio, traditional patio covers are still a great solution. And thanks to the myriad of materials we have on stock, you can choose any component that will best match your home’s architecture.

6. Umbrellas. If you just want something smaller, we still have something for you. Or if you do love the look and feel of beach umbrellas but need the effect on a larger scale to cover up your entire patio, we can also make it happen.

7. Fabric canopies. Vacationing in exclusive, private beaches often comes with luxurious lounging areas that are beautifully covered with fabric canopies. We can bring the same look and feel to your own backyard. Customize them and make them your own.

What Our Customers Are Saying

★★★★★

The whole process was very easy. The work was done very professionally. I would definitely recommend them to do any work.

I contacted Allied with a last-minute project of adding siding to my home and they were prompt getting back to me and even fit the sales presentation into my very busy and crazy schedule, and he came out on a Saturday morning to meet with me. The estimation process was made quick and easy.

Quality, workmanship, and value. We continue to enjoy our choice from three years ago – our choice was Allied Siding & Windows!!

I used Allied Windows on my previous home, and when I moved, I never even checked the competitors. Extremely pleased with their work and prices.

I was very happy with everyone that I dealt with at Allied, from the office staff, my salesman, the crew leader and his entire crew that installed my windows and siding. Everyone was truly professional, courteous and kept me informed on my repairs.

The project was quick, and the results were awesome. The workers were well skilled and courteous. I am very pleased with the overall project.

Allied has worked for me on two occasions, both times the service was excellent.

Great company to work with. Ease of business. Quality work. Truthful experience.

I love Allied. I have used them on multiple occasions, and they did a great job. Their representative was a wonderful salesperson who knew the product well, and working with the office at the beginning to get this all set up was a pleasure.

If you want to save time and money, go to Allied Siding and Windows first! We worked with a big box company for 5 months and they were never able to deliver and install the product we had requested. Allied had it done in two weeks, at a cheaper price and the house looks great!

We are very pleased with our beautiful new windows and doors installed by Allied. We also had our old vinyl siding removed and replaced with James Hardie siding. We have had numerous comments that our 26-year-old home looks brand new.

We had 19 Simonton Generations replacement windows and James Hardie siding done on our home of 22 years by Allied Siding & Windows. The workmanship and attention to detail is why we chose Allied in the first place.

The Allied team did exceptional quality work and we are incredibly pleased with the project!  We have had a patio dream for some time, and when we happened upon the Allied website, there was a photograph of practically what I had been hoping for — and the team delivered.

We had a representative give us an estimate. He was very friendly, and very knowledgeable. My wife and I were both impressed with his professionalism. Allied stands behind their product and they are trained professionals and insured. Great sales personnel and company!

The Allied representative was extremely professional. With his experience he was able to properly assess my request. He was able to give me a couple of ideas that would enhance the look of my home. I truly appreciate his time.

I purchased gutters from Allied for my home. My salesman was very professional and knowledgeable in explaining the different materials and colors along with associated costs. The entire process was quick and efficient! I would strongly recommend. The installation team was polite and courteous

Have had several great experiences with this company in the past. Roofs on 3 different houses, complete siding, and replacement windows on one…

Very professional and very upfront with all issues that concern my home. Great options with styles with very competitive pricing. I would definitely recommend talking to them on your projects.

Great company! They are Far and Away better than most of the window replacement companies you’ll find out there. They always cater the products to your needs and are willing to go the extra mile to make the project excellent! Highly recommend.

The representative was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He talked my wife and I through the entire process and listened attentively as we talked through the different ideas we had in mind. Based on the initial quote alone, I would highly recommend Allied…

Very comprehensive and professional presentation; it was obvious that this company is customer-centric and dedicated to exceeding expectations.

Fantastic job; these guys are incredible!

With over 50 years in the construction business, I’m hard to impress.  These guys did it; incredible craftsmanship and team work.  Already recommended them to neighbors.

“How incredibly pleased and impressed we have been with the work and craftsmanship of everyone on [the] team!  The awning and everything – all the details – are so beautiful!  We retreat out to the patio each evening just to admire the complete transformation of our home!  We couldn’t be more thrilled!”

They did a great job.  I have them doing 2 other jobs right now for me.
