At TCP Custom Outdoor, we love transforming spaces into stunning outdoor retreats. Our latest project in Katy, Texas, was no exception. The homeowners had a beautiful setup but felt their existing patio cover, kitchen, and fireplace were too small and cramped for their growing needs. They wanted a larger, more open space to enjoy their backyard fully.

Before

The Vision

The goal was to take their existing patio and expand it into a spacious, functional area while enhancing its beauty and comfort. TCP Custom Outdoor created a design that doubled their outdoor living space, providing them with a more inviting atmosphere for family gatherings and entertainment.

What We Did

We began by demolishing the existing patio cover and pouring additional concrete to accommodate the new structure. The crown jewel of this project is a 568-square-foot gabled patio cover, offering an airy and open feel. To make this happen, we had to remove and replace a second-story window with a shorter one, allowing for the higher roofline of the new structure.

Key Features:

Fireplace & Firepit:

A custom gas-burning fireplace, wrapped in beautiful thin veneer flats limestone from Rock Materials, complements the home’s exterior. The hearth, made from Natural Buff Lueders, adds a polished finish. The same stonework is used on the open-air patio’s firepit, creating a cohesive design.

Outdoor Kitchen:

The original outdoor kitchen was preserved, blending perfectly with the expanded space, offering convenience without the need for additional renovation.

Flooring

The floor features Premium Silver Versailles Pattern Chiseled Brushed tile from Keystone Tile, which stretches throughout the patio, seamlessly tying together the old and new areas.

Ceiling

The vaulted ceiling, finished with pre-stained tongue and groove English Porter by Woodtone, adds a warm, rustic touch. We also upgraded the ceiling in the existing covered area to match the new design.

Columns

The supporting columns are finished in stucco to match the home, enhancing the overall aesthetic while maintaining structural integrity.

The Result

This project not only doubled the amount of usable outdoor space but also gave the homeowners a backyard they can truly enjoy. Whether it’s hosting parties, relaxing by the fire, or simply enjoying the view, this expanded patio cover and outdoor living area offer versatility, comfort, and style.

TCP Custom Outdoor is proud to have brought this family’s vision to life, creating a space that combines functionality with beauty in every detail. If you’re looking to expand or enhance your outdoor living space, we’d love to help turn your dreams into reality!
