“Bringing indoor comfort & convenience into the great outdoors — where it belongs”
It’s a fact: the hottest trend in residential upgrades is outdoor living, where you can create a special place for family and friends to get out of the house, relax and enjoy nature... without leaving home.
For a growing number of homeowners, that means a complimentary consultation with Custom Patio Structures, a Montgomery based, family owned business specializing in custom designed structures that match the look and quality of the home and the needs of those living there. From patio covers, pergolas and car ports to outdoor kitchens and specialty living areas, Custom Patio Structures is the choice for a better build at a better price.
The Great Outdoors
With its moderate climate, Texas offers residents the opportunity to enjoy outdoor living pretty much year round. So it’s no surprise that outdoor kitchens, screen rooms and multi-media equipped outdoor living spaces are perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
“Adding an outdoor space gives you the opportunity to be creative,” said owner Bradley Cooper. “We work with you to create a space that is uniquely you and enhances your existing home and lifestyle.”
And while Custom Patio Structures can handle simple additions, like car ports and basic patio covers, they excel at more complicated projects like outdoor kitchens and living spaces complete with media capabilities and water or fire features.
If you can dream it, there’s a pretty good chance Custom Patio Structures can build it.
The Trust Factor
Recognizing the benefits of adding customized outdoor living space to your home is the easy part. The harder part is finding someone who can take your dreams and turn them into reality — on a timely basis at a reasonable price.
“It’s important to work with someone you have confidence in and get along with,” said co-owner Kelli Cooper. Both she and Bradley are native Texans and graduates of Texas A&M University. “A renovation project or addition is a big project that requires teamwork. It’s important to know who you are working with.”
That’s true because construction projects involve so many options. Turning over your house and a significant amount of money to a “Chuck in a truck” working out of his garage is probably not a good idea. But overspending with a big company whose layers of staffing make it difficult to determine who’s in charge: is that big name construction company really going to focus on your relatively small project?
Focus: We Only Do One Thing – But We Do It Better Than Others
A lot of construction companies handle a wide range of commercial and residential projects with layers of administrative and management expense: salesmen, designers, architects, construction foremen, tradesmen and more. Those salaries and bonuses have to come from somewhere.
Custom Patio Structures is strictly focused on patio additions and outdoor living spaces. When you deal with the company, you deal with the owners, Bradley and Kelli Cooper, from start to finish.
“I’m the guy who comes to your house and talks to you about the project you want,” said Bradley. “I have more than 20 years of experience designing and building projects, but the most important part of planning a great project is listening to your ideas. We’ll help you shape and refine the parameters if necessary, but our goal is building something that exceeds your expectations.”
To do this, Custom Patio Structures has assembled a core group of building experts along with specialists in key areas of construction, including certified electricians, plumbers, masons, roofers, carpenters and more. From mild to wild, Custom Patio Structures delivers quality and durability.
Bradley and Kelli are also the ones supervising the job. If you have a question or concern, you call them; you don’t waste time going through a complicated chain of command.
“We are with you every step of the way,” said Kelli.
The Price is Right
Some builders play a lot of games with the bidding process — inflating the cost of materials, appliances or other construction elements. The details are often buried in paperwork the average homeowner is unfamiliar with. Custom Patio Structures, however, offers a process that is completely open and transparent.
“We provide clients with actual invoices for materials, labor and other expenses,” said Bradley. “We have quality vendors for materials and appliances and we encourage people to go and see what options are available. We have no problem if they want to buy the materials directly — in fact we probably have sources where you can get better quality products at lower prices.”
In addition to design and construction expertise, Custom Patio Structures handles all the issues related to zoning, building permits and homeowners association guidelines. Getting the job done correctly and legally can be challenging — and expensive if not done properly.
The Guarantee
It’s hard to evaluate a project until it’s completed. With many builders, their commitment ends when the pickup truck leaves the driveway. Some offer limited warranties for a few months or a few years.
Custom Patio Structures offers an impressive seven year warranty — the longest in the business — covering materials and craftsmanship. Even more remarkable, they include a three year maintenance package which includes an inspection and evaluation of the project to make sure of its structural integrity.
“Our reputation as builders means everything to us,” said Kelli. “A lot of our business comes from referrals from previous customers, so it’s important that we keep them satisfied — before, during and after the project is completed.”
That’s important because a number of homeowners hire Custom Patio Structures to fix projects done by other companies. Sometimes the lowest price isn’t the best deal.
“Working with someone you trust and who listens is important,” said Bradley. “We work with our clients to transform their ideas into reality. It’s a win-win for all concerned.”
