Gable Style Roofs

TCP Custom Outdoor Living can add height to your patio cover by building a gable style roof. This type of roof has a vaulted ceiling so your covered patio will have a very open feeling to it.  Your project developer can help you choose the best finish for the ceiling to create your style while keeping it looking original to your home’s design.  

Choices for the ceiling finish include:

  • Hardiepanel
  • Pine or cedar tongue-and-groove planks
  • Exposed rafters, or reclaimed wood

We serve the Houston and Dallas – Fort Worth areas. If you have questions about gable style roofs, please call (281) 265-1994 in Houston or (972) 915-2727 in Dallas.

Our Customers Love Us

I have a lot of experience with construction and renovations, so some contractors find me annoying at best. My outdoor living project was larger than I was able to take on as it entailed adding an outdoor living area, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom with a fireplace and fire pit. It’s built onto an existing structure with a tile roof in a seamless manner. The completed project is amazing, and was featured in the Houzz project of the month for December 2013. It was a very large project so it took a long time to complete, however the process was absolutely painless. In my previous experiences, I have always had issues with miscommunications and added costs, among other things. My experience with Texas Custom Patios included NONE of these issues. The finished project far exceeded my expectations. The workmanship was superior, and the quality of the products is top of the line. I truly highly recommend them.
