Gary came out and gave me a very good price for the product. (Not one word about not showing up a week ago.)

He said he would get back to me. That was 3 weeks ago. I have called both phone numbers listed and I get voice mail. I also have sent e mails. I can't give anyone a check if they won't talk to me.

Absolutely Love Our New Patio and Pergola!…read more We couldn't be happier with our new extended patio and pergola! From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and detail-oriented. The design process was smooth--they really listened to our ideas and brought them to life perfectly. Even my idea of adding sliding wood paneled door for the "windy" side of the patio. The craftsmanship is outstanding--the materials are top-quality, and every detail looks flawless. The pergola provides just the right amount of shade, and the extended patio has completely transformed our outdoor space into a place we actually use and enjoy every day. Can't forget to mention some of the most reasonable prices for quality of work! The crew showed up on time, kept the worksite clean, and finished right on schedule. You can tell they take real pride in their work. If you're thinking about adding a patio or pergola, I can't recommend this company enough. They turned our backyard into our favorite "room" of the house!

2/11/2026. Another Review Update: After 3 days the City of Ovilla found the Inspection report for…read moremy Patio extension. The City had previously provided the incorrect information to me. The City had signed off on the project. Apparently, the inspection report was filed under the wrong patio extension. I thanked the City for their due diligence in assisting with this issue. My apology to Texas Patios Plus for including the incorrect information from the City. However, I was informed the City Inspector only checked the framing, not the actual material installed on the roof. This was explained to me after I asked the question why would the City sign off on felt material on a low sloping roof when the industry standard material required for a flat roof is the ice and water shield to prevent leaks from standing water. The bottom line is I am still dealing with a sagging, leaking roof after less than 2 years that I paid $61K for because the wrong material was installed on a low sloping roof. I have had text discussions with Texas Patios Plus to come out and assess the damage to the roof and to provide a path forward. I can only ask and hope they do whatever is necessary to assist with this costly repair issue. We trusted Texas Patios Plus to deliver a quality patio. My husband is a disabled Veteran and the stress of this situation has affected his health. $61k is a lot to pay for a patio and in less than 2 years have to deal with a major problem.

I've had 2 consecutive negative experiences with this establishment, and both times were because…read moreRoy, the owner, tried to overcharge me on labor hours and use bait & switch tactics. 1st experience with Roy was about 3 months ago when I walked in and Roy was at the counter. I had to scrape up over $2,000 on securement supplies, including an additional $500+ on an 18" diamond plated step box that Roy talked me in to. Roy walked out to my truck with me and it was determined that he could install the box and that the box was around $450 plus an $89 install fee. I agreed to the price and Roy told his warehouse manager to go ahead and install the box. The installer was doing everything in his power to install the box and had to fabricate a bracket to get the box to fit in the selected area. Roy comes back from lunch and tells me that he needs to charge me an additional amount (over $200) because the install didn't include fabricating. I told him that he never mentioned any fabrication fee and that I was only told that the install was $89. He then started to belittle me by talking down to me. That's when I told him that I wasn't going to pay anymore than what was initially quoted. He refused to honor that and I told him to forget the box then. Roy told the installer to remove the brackets and I went on my way. The second bad experience was today. I called Roy on the phone and brought up the 1st experience and he said he remembered me. I asked him if he still had the box and what was the final price going to be with install. He told me the initial $89 install fee would still be applied but an additional $69 per hour for every hour after the 1st hour. I agreed and asked him if he still had the 18" diamond plated box. He said yes, that he hasn't sold that size. He also said that everything in stock has been discounted until Christmas. I arrived at 12:30pm with install beginning at 1pm as everybody was at lunch. We walked out to the truck, where the installer followed. The installer remembered me and the 3 of discussed the install options. During this discussion Roy talked me into also purchasing an additional diamond plated logger box for $250, which would be installed between the legs of my headache rack. It fit perfectly and it covered up the large hole behind my catwalk. I was very pleased and everything was finally getting done... that is until the installer brought out an 18" smooth face step box. I told him that I was supposed to be getting the diamond plate box. He said they didn't have that in stock. He called Roy (as Roy was at lunch) and Roy told the installer that it would take 4-6 weeks to get the diamond plate box. I asked if they could replace the lid from the smooth face box with a diamond plated lid from a logger box seeing they were the same size. Roy said no and hung up. The installer said that I could order it at the current sale price and have it installed the next time I could get in to town. I agreed and we proceeded. Several hours passed and the fabrication continued. Another warehouse worker became freed up and the installer had him start working on the install of the logger box. He had to cut 4 pieces of 4"x4" plate so he could create a pinching bracket that attached the I-Frame of the truck. Half way into the install he gets interrupted by another Owner Operator who had just purchased his securement supplies. So my project had to wait almost 30 minutes because they went and gathered his supplies and take them to the other driver's truck. He returns and begins to assemble the bracket. Roy comes back from lunch and says that if I want the sale price, I need to take the smooth face box as he wouldn't be able to get the diamond plate box at the same price due to the new year pricing was going to be much higher. I told him I wanted it now, not next year. He said that they would charge him the new price now. I said that wasn't my fault and that I called ahead and he told me that they had it in stock. That's the only reason I drove the 45 miles. He said "it is what it is". I told him that the smooth face box wouldn't go with my truck as everything else was diamond plate. He didn't care and wasn't going to make things right, AGAIN! I told him to forget the box then and he went and stopped the fabrication process. They finished installing the logger box. I went in to pay the bill on the logger box only to see the bill was over $500. I questioned the 2 1/2 hour install and said how is this possible when there was no fabrication for it. Roys' wife comes out and tells me that this is the second time that I've caused them problems and said that I will pay the bill as it reads. I said no and to remove the box if they didn't adjust it to 1 hour. She told me they have been working on it since 1pm and that I was never welcomed back if they remove it. I said they been working on the step box since 1pm, not the logger and I wasn't coming back. Box was removed and I went on my way!

We added a custom folding lateral arm retractable motorized awning. It came with a sensor that…read moreretracted for heavy rain and high wind. Also it can be used year round. So if we were out and about and all of the sudden rain hit or high winds picked up, the sensor will automatically retract the awning to prevent any damage. The smart mechanism, anemometer type wind sensor or front bar motion sensor made it so that the retractable awning will automatically be retracted if the sensor records a speed above the threshold you have set. Generally, it is recommend that the threshold be anywhere between 15 - 20 mph, for folding lateral arm awnings and 30 - 35mph for retractable patio / deck pergolas, but you can always change this in the future based on local wind conditions of your area. Water-resistant means the awning is able to resist the penetration of water to some degree but not entirely. Waterproof means it is impervious to water. It was a very nice upgrade for the new home buyers. Staff was very friendly and we enjoyed the new addition to our backyard.

She accused us of purposefully delaying the project because we didn't want to pay and was combative and unbusinesslike. I made it clear to the company I wanted to be there for install and that we were traveling for the month. They were completely unaccommodating. I instructed them I would meet them at my home for install as both our side gate and electric gate are securely locked. They took the liberty to access our property without us being home and without permission to install the awning. I would not recommend this company. They are also unreachable and do not have higher management to talk to and address concerns. We paid the final balance in full and they did noting to rectify the problems we addressed with them.

We went with the 80 % tinted screen and immediately noticed a difference in the temperature of the house and our lower electric bills.

The white metal frames of the screens were still in great shape (better than the metal on the windows) and cleaned up well and the screen material is still very pliable.
