Project overview
What Colony Builders built
This River Oaks project called for broad, comfortable coverage across several connected outdoor-living zones without making the finished structure feel separate from the home. Colony Builders constructed an attached patio cover that transitions through a central gabled section and adjoining lower roof sections, allowing the cover to follow the home’s rear elevation and protect a large portion of the existing outdoor area.
The finished cover combines white structural framing with a warm tongue-and-groove wood ceiling for contrast and visual depth. Colony also installed the visible ceiling fans and recessed lighting, creating usable areas for dining, seating and everyday outdoor living after sunset.

Design approach
Built to relate to the existing home
The coordinated roof, fascia, gutters and trim respond to the existing architecture, while the stone finish installed by Colony on the patio-cover columns grounds the new structure. The result is substantial coverage with a detailed, residential finish—not a generic freestanding kit.
