Construction Services in McAllen, TX

Wood-framed and steel carports with a metal roof, engineered and anchored for the wind we actually get here rather than for a calm day. The footings and the connection between post and beam are what keep a cover on the property in a storm, and they are where we spend the money.

Attached and freestanding covers, sized and pitched so rain leaves rather than pools, and tied into the existing roofline with flashing that will not leak at the junction. That junction is where almost every failed patio cover we are called to fix went wrong.

Decks built with proper ground clearance, treated or composite material appropriate to Valley humidity, and hardware that will not bleed rust down the boards in a year. Steps, rails and skirting finished to the same standard as the deck surface.

Adding a room, enclosing a porch or extending a living space, taken from foundation and framing through roof tie-in, electrical, insulation and finish. The roof junction and the drainage around the new slab are planned first, because those are what turn an addition into a leak.

Slabs for carports, sheds and additions, plus driveways, walkways and patios. Reinforcement, thickness and control joints are specified to the ground and the load, and the fall is set so water runs away from the structure rather than toward it.

Relocating a shed, a storage building or a small structure on the property, including preparing the new pad and re-setting it level. It is work we do regularly, often alongside a carport or deck build on the same visit.

It depends almost entirely on what is under the posts and how the frame is connected, not on how heavy the frame looks. Wind lifts a cover rather than pushing it over, so the footings have to resist uplift and the connections have to transfer that load. A cover set on shallow pads with nailed connections is the one that ends up in a neighbour’s yard. We will show you the detail we use before you commit.

Yes. Carports, covers, additions and slabs are permitted work inside most Valley city limits, and setback rules decide how close to a property line a structure can sit. We check the setbacks before we design anything, then pull the permit ourselves. Building first and asking later is how people end up moving or removing a structure at their own cost.
