Serving Wesley Chapel, FL and surrounding areas. (813) 454-0103
Wesley Chapel summers mean intense heat, afternoon storms, and a backyard that goes unused for months. A properly built covered deck or patio cover puts that space back to work - every day, in any weather.
Covered decks and patio covers in Wesley Chapel start around $3,000 for a basic attached aluminum structure and can reach $40,000 or more for a large wood-framed covered deck with lighting and screens, with most active construction wrapping in three to ten business days once the Pasco County permit is approved.
A large share of Wesley Chapel homes were built with plain concrete slabs and no overhead shade at all. That is a big reason demand for patio covers is high here - the existing slab is already there, and adding a covered structure over it is far more straightforward than building from bare ground. Newer homes also tend to have clean exterior walls and newer electrical panels, which makes adding fans and lighting simpler.
Homeowners who want bug protection alongside shade often combine a patio cover with a screened-in porch or screened deck to create a fully enclosed outdoor room.
If you step outside at 10 a.m. in July and the concrete is already radiating heat with no shade in sight, your outdoor space is not working for you. A covered structure changes that equation entirely and gives you back hours of usable outdoor time every day during Wesley Chapel's long summer.
If you find yourself watching the sky every time you step outside from June through September, or a fast-moving storm has sent you inside more than once, that anxiety is a real quality-of-life issue. Wesley Chapel's afternoon storms are intense, and a covered structure gives you a dry place to stay outside even when the rain starts.
Florida's UV intensity is among the highest in the country. If your patio cushions, furniture frames, or rugs are breaking down within a year or two of purchase, direct sun exposure is the cause. A covered patio dramatically extends the life of everything you put under it.
A covered deck or patio cover is often the anchor feature that makes a pool or outdoor kitchen genuinely functional. If you have been planning a bigger outdoor upgrade but keep putting it off, adding the cover first gives you the framework for everything else you want to build around it.
We build attached patio covers, covered elevated decks, and freestanding covered structures throughout Wesley Chapel. Aluminum framing is the most popular choice for a flat or low-slope covered patio because it will not rot, rust, or attract termites in Florida's climate. For homeowners who want a more traditional look or a larger custom outdoor room, wood-framed structures using pressure-treated lumber provide more architectural flexibility - just with more maintenance over time. Every project includes outdoor-rated hardware and is built to Pasco County's wind load standards.
Many covered patio projects also include a pergola installation element for open-air style, or are combined with screened-in porch and screened deck work so the finished space has both overhead protection and full bug screening. We handle Pasco County permits and HOA submissions for every job.
Suits homeowners who want a low-maintenance, budget-friendly shade structure attached to the back of their home.

Suits homeowners who want a shaded area positioned away from the house - near a pool, garden, or secondary patio.
Wesley Chapel averages around 233 sunny days per year and sits in one of the most lightning-active corridors in the country. Florida's building code sets wind resistance requirements for covered outdoor structures that are stricter than most of the country - and for good reason. A south- or west-facing patio without any overhead protection can be genuinely unusable from mid-morning onward for five months of the year. A well-designed covered structure blocks the low western sun in the late afternoon, and adding insulated roof panels or ceiling fans makes a further difference in how comfortable the space actually feels. The Florida Solar Energy Center notes that shade and ventilation are the most effective tools for reducing outdoor heat exposure in Florida's climate.
We work across the broader Wesley Chapel area, including in New Tampa and Odessa. Many homes in these communities were built without any covered outdoor space at all, and adding a covered patio is one of the most practical improvements available given how much time Florida families can realistically spend outdoors. If your neighborhood has an HOA - as most Wesley Chapel communities do - we handle the architectural review submission before pulling the Pasco County building permit.
Call or submit the form and we will follow up within one business day. We come to your home to measure the space, look at the existing slab or deck, and walk through your options for materials and design - no charge, no obligation.
After the visit you receive a written estimate covering scope, materials, permit fees, and total cost. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we walk you through the architectural review requirements before you commit to anything.
Once you approve the scope, we prepare drawings for HOA submission if required, then submit the Pasco County permit application. HOA review typically takes one to four weeks; county permit review runs two to four weeks. We track both and keep you updated.
Active construction runs three to ten business days for most projects. When the structure is complete, a Pasco County inspector signs off on the work. We walk you through the finished space, explain any fans or hardware, and leave you with permit documentation.
No obligation. We will visit your Wesley Chapel home, measure the space, and give you a written estimate - usually within one business day of your call.
(813) 454-0103We pull the county building permit and schedule the final inspection on every covered patio project. That documented sign-off protects you when you sell your home or file an insurance claim - and it means the structure was built correctly, not just quickly.
Wesley Chapel's master-planned communities require HOA architectural review before exterior additions. We prepare the drawings and documentation your HOA needs and submit them on your behalf, so there are no stop-work surprises once construction begins.
We use aluminum framing and outdoor-rated hardware that will not corrode in Florida's year-round humidity. For wood-framed projects, we specify pressure-treated lumber that meets Florida's requirements for termite and moisture resistance - not whatever happens to be at the supply house.
We have been building covered outdoor structures in Wesley Chapel and surrounding communities since the area was still adding new streets. That history means we know these neighborhoods, these HOAs, and what Pasco County inspectors expect to see when they show up.
Every covered patio we build is permitted, inspected, and built with materials chosen for Florida's climate. That combination is what separates a structure that lasts from one that needs attention after the first storm season.
An open-roof pergola structure adds architectural character and partial shade without the full enclosure of a covered patio.
