Patio Covers & Outdoor Living in Allen, TX
Collin County
Allen is family suburb geography. Twin Creeks, Bethany Lakes, StarCreek, and Waterford Parks all have yards of a comfortable size, and what people ask us for is a space that works on an ordinary Tuesday rather than only for a party: a grill, a table, a television, and room for kids to be loud on the grass twenty feet away.
That leads to a fairly specific kind of project. A covered patio with a good fan and better lighting, an outlet exactly where the television goes, stamped concrete extended just far enough to hold a dining set and a seating group, and a pergola over the grill so whoever is cooking is not standing in full sun. Practical, and finished well enough that it reads as part of the house.
Closer to Montgomery Ridge and the Watters Creek side of town, where newer construction sits nearer to its neighbors, proportion becomes the entire game. A cover that is too tall or too deep swallows the yard whole. We size structures to leave usable lawn behind them, and use stained ceilings and slimmer posts so a modest footprint never feels heavy.

Local Note
Allen lots are often tight enough that setbacks and easements end up doing a fair amount of the designing. We pull the plat, mark the utility and drainage easements, and lay the structure out inside them before anyone falls in love with a footprint that could never be permitted.
Questions
Allen FAQs
How close to my fence can a patio cover go?
That depends on your rear and side setbacks and on any easement running behind the fence line. We check the plat first, because in a lot of Allen neighborhoods the last several feet of the yard are already spoken for by a drainage or utility easement.
Can I put a television and a ceiling fan under the cover?
Yes, and both should be planned before the framing closes up. Conduit for the television, a rated fan box, dimmable lighting, and dedicated outlets all get roughed in during construction so nothing has to be surface mounted afterward.
What size patio makes sense for a family of four?
A dining table with the chairs pulled out wants roughly twelve by twelve feet of clear space, and a seating group facing a television wants closer to fourteen by sixteen. We stake the outline in your yard so you can stand in it before it is priced.
