When Wood Is the Right Answer in Round Rock
Wood costs more to maintain. Some houses are worth it.
A stone ranch off Sam Bass Road, a cedar-trimmed home in Brushy Creek, a craftsman near the historic core: an aluminum cover on those houses can look like an afterthought. A wood cover with the right beam proportions, stained to the trim and roofed with the house’s shingles reads as original construction, and that matters both for how the backyard feels and for what a buyer sees.
The maintenance is real: re-stain every few years and keep the roof and flashing sound. We build to minimize it: kiln-dried cedar, metal post bases so nothing sits in water, proper ledger flashing and a roof that actually sheds water instead of a coated plywood deck.

Wood Cover Styles We Build

Gable covers
Vaulted, with tongue-and-groove ceilings. Popular on single-story homes in older Round Rock.
Shed-roof covers
Single slope, the most economical solid wood roof.
Open-rafter covers
Rafters with no deck, for dappled light. See pergolas.
Hybrid covers
Cedar posts and beams with an insulated aluminum roof. Wood looks, aluminum maintenance.
Finishing
Stain or paint matched to the trim, with an honest re-coat schedule.
Where Wood Covers Fail, and How Ours Don’t
Almost never in the beams. Almost always where wood meets water.
The ledger where the cover meets the house, and the post bases where it meets the slab, are where wood covers rot. We flash the ledger properly, set posts on steel standoffs above the concrete, seal end grain and use coated or stainless fasteners. Then a real roof keeps the rest dry. Done that way, a cedar cover in Williamson County outlasts several rounds of stain.
Wood Patio Cover FAQ, Round Rock
How often do I re-stain a wood cover here?
Every two to four years, depending on sun exposure and the product. A roofed cover protects most of the wood, so it’s mainly exposed beam ends and posts.
Cedar or treated pine?
Cedar for everything visible; it resists rot and insects and stains beautifully. Treated lumber only where hidden. Both are shown on your quote.
Can you match the shingles on my house?
Yes. We identify the shingle and source a match, or a complementary color if it’s discontinued.
Is wood more expensive than aluminum?
Usually, particularly with a shingled roof and finished ceiling. The gap narrows on small covers. See our cost guide.
Do wood covers need a Round Rock permit?
Attached covers, yes, with engineering, plus HOA approval in most neighborhoods. We handle it.
