Covered Patio and Pergola Builder

Shaded, all-season patio covers and pergolas that make the backyard usable again.

Texas sun can make a patio unusable from late morning to evening, so the space sits empty when your family would rather be outside. A covered patio or pergola fixes that. GM Tile Designs builds shade structures that match your home and stand up to wind, heat, and storms across The Woodlands and the greater Houston area. We are family owned and family operated, insured, with decades in the trade, and skilled craftsmen are on site for every job.

What's Included

  • Attached Patio Covers

    Solid-roof covers tied into your home that block sun and rain so the patio stays cool and dry through the season.

  • Custom Pergolas

    Open or louvered pergolas that filter light, frame the yard, and give you shade without closing the space in.

  • Masonry Columns and Finishes

    Stone or brick columns and clean finish work that tie the structure to your home, built by the same crew that does our tile and stone.

  • Skilled craftsmen on every job

    Skilled craftsmen handle framing, roofing, and finishing in house, with the Gutierrez family accountable. No subcontractor handoffs and no excuses.

Shade That Makes the Backyard Usable

The reason a great patio goes unused is heat. By midday the sun drives everyone back inside, and a sudden storm clears the space in minutes. A covered patio or pergola gives you back those hours. GM Tile Designs builds shade structures that are anchored properly, finished cleanly, and matched to the look of your home.

A solid-roof patio cover blocks sun and rain so you can keep furniture, a grill, or a seating area protected year round. A pergola gives you filtered light and an open feel, and a louvered roof lets you adjust the shade. We build both across The Woodlands, Memorial, and the surrounding communities.

Shade structures work best as part of a larger plan. Many clients add a deck beneath the cover, an outdoor kitchen for entertaining, or a water feature nearby. Because one crew handles every part, the columns, decking, and counters all match.

How We Build Covers and Pergolas

Every project starts with a free written estimate. We look at your patio, your roofline, and how the sun tracks across the yard, then lay out a cover or pergola that fits the space. You get a clear scope and a clear range, with no surprise charges.

  • Footings and posts. We set proper footings and anchor the posts so the structure holds in Texas wind and storms.
  • Roof or beams. We build a solid roof for full coverage or set pergola beams for filtered shade, tied cleanly into your home.
  • Masonry and finish. We can wrap posts in stone or brick to match your home, then finish and seal the work.
  • Walkthrough. We clean up and walk the finished structure with you before we call it done.

GM Tile Designs is insured, and skilled craftsmen are on site from start to finish. We serve The Woodlands and communities across Montgomery County. Patio covers and pergolas are part of our full kitchen and outdoor living work, so the same family-owned company can build out your entire backyard.
