We are proud to announce that Texas Custom Patios was nominated in four different categories and we won all four! It’s an honor to be recognized among other elite builders. Here are the projects that impressed the judges!

Winner 50 – 75k

This older home needed a backyard make-over. The family needed some shade, a nicer area to entertain, and a built-in kitchen. For details and pictures on this entire project, click here.

Winner 75k – 100k

The homeowners wanted to add about 850 square feet of outdoor living space, so we added an expansive kitchen, living room and dining area. We worked through the existing drainage issues, and added Astro Turf. Now the home is complete and perfect for entertaining! For details and pictures on this entire project, click here.

Winner 100k – 125k

The customer had an existing pergola with arches that were on its last leg. They wanted to remove the deteriorating pergola and add a space that could add the “wow” factor to the backyard when they looked out their living room window. They wanted a space that could blend with the architecture of the home along with the design of the pool. For details and pictures on this entire project, click here.

Winner 125k – 150k

This project needed remodeling in both the front and the back of the home. This gorgeous patio was done in a contemporary style complete with an outdoor dining and living area. For details and pictures on this entire project, click here.

Josh Miller – Project Developer
Josh is a West Texas boy that loves the outdoors and helping others enjoy it also.
I have a background in customer service and sales, most recently in the oil and gas industry.  I love the quality that TCP brings to the table. It’s not your average patio covering, it’s a custom built extension of the original home for the homeowner to enjoy an amazing outdoor lifestyle.  Fun fact… I love going to national parks and took a 2 month camping road trip hitting 6 major national parks in the western US with lots of smaller ones in between.
David Mitchell Elliot – Project Developer
David originally from Minnesota is an avid golfer who moved to Texas 3 years ago with his wife, Betty.
I’m a former pastor, philosophy teacher and concrete company owner.  I love the personality of the Texas Custom Patios and the organization itself.  The product we produce is awesome!  Fun fact… I played pro basketball in Europe in the early eighties.
Crystal Morgan – Office Manager
Crystal was born and raised in the DFW area!
My entire career has been in office management ranging from advertising to country clubs. I  love working with TCP because I am able to see complete, beautiful outdoor living transformations! It’s absolutely amazing to see all kinds of projects from start to finish.  Fun fact… I’m a huge animal lover!
Lilia Alvarez – Office Assistant 
Lilia was born and raised in Dallas,Texas!
I enjoy all of the wonderful customers I get to speak with and seeing the finished projects the designers work so hard on.  Fun fact… I enjoy working on DIY/ fixer upper projects on the weekends!
Joshua Murray – Project Developer
He was born in Nuremberg Germany where his parents were stationed oversees.  He then grew up and served 9 years in the military.
I love creating awesome backyard experiences for homeowners and working with a good team!
