Outdoor Living
Outdoor projects are still construction
The difference between a fence that leans in three years and one that stays straight for fifteen, or a patio cover that feels like part of the house versus one that looks bolted on, is not the lumber. It is construction fundamentals: how deep the posts are set, how the structure is tied to the house, how water is managed at every connection. Garcia's Construction builds outdoor projects with the same trades and standards as our indoor work, which is exactly what fences, decks and patio covers need to survive Texas weather.
Cedar fences that stay straight
A West Houston fence lives a hard life: soaked by spring storms, baked by summer, pushed by the occasional tropical blow, and heaved by clay soil that swells and shrinks with the seasons. We build for that with deep concrete footings, steel posts where longevity matters most, cedar pickets that resist rot and insects, and gates framed square so they still swing right years in. Whether it is replacing a storm-flattened section to match the neighbors or fencing a whole yard new, the quote covers tear-out, haul-off and a clean build.
Covered patios that earn their shade
From May to September, an uncovered west-side patio is a griddle. A properly built cover changes how much of the year your backyard actually gets used. We frame covers that tie into the existing roof line or stand on their own columns, match the roofing and paint to the house, and finish the ceiling clean. Because electrical is one of our trades, ceiling fans, lights and outlets go in during the build instead of as a retrofit, which is the difference between a patio and an outdoor room.
Decks, pergolas and the rest of the yard
Wood decks get built on real footings with flashed, lagged connections at the house, not deck screws and hope. Pergolas add filtered shade where a full roof is not wanted. And because we are a full construction company, the projects that touch several trades at once, an outdoor kitchen wall here, a bench and planter there, stay one project with one crew instead of a parade of specialists.
