Patio cover builder in San Antonio

Klema Builders is a San Antonio patio cover builder serving San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin. The team designs and installs custom covered patios with shingle, metal, and insulated roof systems matched to your home roofline. A 300 sq ft cover is built in 2 to 4 weeks after permits clear. Every project includes HOA submissions, city permits, a fixed-price quote line by line after a free in-home consult, and pass-through manufacturer roofing warranties registered in your name at the walk-through.

The price of a covered patio in San Antonio depends on size, roof material (shingles matched to the house, standing-seam metal, insulated panel or concrete tile), how the new roof ties into the existing one, fans, lighting and electrical, and the permit and HOA review. Klema Builders does not publish a price list: after a free in-home consult you get a written fixed-price quote, line by line, within 3 to 5 business days, and that quote is the total you pay.

A patio cover is a solid roof, often shingled or metal, that blocks rain and sun year-round. A pergola is an open or slatted shade structure that filters light and breeze. If you want a dry, three-season outdoor room, you want a patio cover. If you want filtered light and a more open feel, you want a pergola. A covered patio is what you build when you want to use your patio in August without sweating through your shirt and in October without dragging the furniture in before a storm. The breakeven for most San Antonio homeowners is whether the patio is a primary outdoor living room (cover) or a secondary shade zone next to a pool or garden (pergola). We walk you through both options at the consult, on your actual patio, in your actual light.

Yes. We match shingles, metal panel profile, eave depth, soffit detail, and fascia color so the cover reads as part of the house rather than a tacked-on addition. We also coordinate with your existing gutter system and ensure proper drainage at the new tie-in. On every project we coordinate the new roof tie-in with the existing house gutters, ridge venting, and roof slope so the structure performs as a single roof system, not a bolted-on addition.

Architectural shingles match the house most cleanly and hide the cover-to-house transition. Standing-seam metal panels in a high-reflectance Kynar finish run cooler than shingles and last 40 to 60 years with very little maintenance. Insulated R-panel covers add a foam core that cuts surface temperature and lets us run ceiling fans, recessed lights, and speakers without an exposed wire run.

Yes. Inside San Antonio city limits an attached patio cover is permitted work at any size; it is not on the exemption list in Chapter 10 of the city code, and a freestanding cover under 300 square feet is confirmed with Development Services for the lot. HOAs across Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, Helotes, Boerne, and Fair Oaks Ranch typically require an Architectural Control Committee review. Klema Builders handles every permit and HOA submission for you as a line item in the quote.
