Outdoor Structures Built for West Texas Conditions

Patios, Decks, & Pergolas in Lubbock

When you add a patio, deck, or pergola to your property in Lubbock, the structure must handle direct sun, wind, temperature swings, and occasional heavy rain without warping, fading, or requiring constant maintenance. Emery Remodeling & Renovations designs and builds outdoor living structures that provide shade, seating, and usable space for entertaining while standing up to West Texas weather year after year.

This service includes site assessment, layout planning, material selection, foundation or footing installation, framing, decking, and finishing for patios, decks, and pergolas across Lubbock and surrounding areas. The team evaluates drainage, sun exposure, and how the structure connects to your home, then builds using materials selected for durability and low maintenance. The result is outdoor space that extends your living area, supports gatherings, and remains stable through seasonal conditions.

What Makes Outdoor Structures Last in Lubbock

Your project begins with a site visit in Lubbock where the team measures your yard, checks for drainage issues, and discusses how you plan to use the space. They review options for covered patios that provide shade during summer afternoons, elevated decks that level out sloped yards, or pergolas that define seating areas without blocking airflow.

After construction, you see posts set in concrete footings that resist shifting, joists spaced to support foot traffic and furniture weight without bouncing, and decking or pavers that drain water without pooling. Pergola beams provide partial shade while allowing ventilation, and stairs or railings meet code requirements for height and spacing. The structure integrates with your home's exterior and yard layout without obstructing windows, utility access, or existing landscaping.

This service works for patios that expand seating areas near back doors, decks that create level outdoor space on uneven lots, and pergolas that define dining or lounge zones without enclosing the area. It also applies to combinations such as covered decks or patios with attached pergolas. The service does not include landscaping, sprinkler relocation, or fence installation, as those require separate coordination.

Questions Homeowners Ask Before Starting Construction

Homeowners in Lubbock often ask how long construction takes, whether permits are required, and what materials hold up best in direct sun and wind.

How long does it take to build a patio, deck, or pergola in Lubbock?
Most patios and decks complete in one to two weeks depending on size and site preparation, while pergolas typically finish in three to five days. Timelines adjust if the site requires grading, drainage work, or utility relocation.
What materials work best for decks and pergolas in West Texas?
Composite decking resists fading and splintering without annual staining, while treated lumber costs less but requires periodic maintenance. Cedar and redwood offer natural appearance and durability but need sealing to prevent weathering.
Do I need a permit to build a deck or patio in Lubbock?
Permits are typically required for decks over a certain height or size and for structures attached to your home. The team confirms local requirements and handles permit applications before construction begins.
How do you handle drainage around patios and decks?
The team grades the site to direct water away from foundations, installs gravel or drainage channels where water collects, and leaves gaps between deck boards to allow runoff. Proper drainage prevents water from pooling under the structure or eroding surrounding soil.
Can I add lighting or ceiling fans to a pergola?
Yes, the team can install electrical wiring during construction to support ceiling fans, string lights, or post-mounted fixtures. Electrical work requires a licensed electrician and may extend your timeline and cost.
