Rooms without walls, built for the way Houston lives.
Shade, airflow and durable materials — outdoor space designed to actually be used.
Our approach
How we think about it
Houston's climate makes outdoor living a real room, not an afterthought — if it's designed for the heat and the rain. We plan shade, airflow, drainage and materials that hold up to sun and humidity, so covered patios, outdoor kitchens and pool-side spaces get used from spring through fall.
Scope
What's included
Covered patios and pavilions, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and fire features, pool-side living, shade and screening, and weather-durable finishes.
Investment & timeline
What a project like this runs
Typical Houston range
$25,000–$80,000+
Typical timeline
about 4–8 weeks on site
A covered patio starts lower; a full outdoor room with kitchen, lighting and living space reaches the top — in Houston's climate it becomes one of the most-used rooms in the house. Because every home is different, Bager gives you one fixed investment after the design phase — the number you approve is the number we build to.

How we work
One studio, start to finish
We build the way you'd want a neighbor to build. One dedicated project manager, communication on a schedule you can plan your life around, and a client portal so you're never chasing an update. Your investment is fixed before we break ground and your workmanship is warrantied in writing — Texas licensed and insured. We run a clean, respectful site and work around your life, not through it. You don't manage us; you live your life. That's the point.

Questions
Answered plainly
- What does an outdoor living space cost in Houston?
- A covered patio commonly runs around $9,000–$15,000; a full outdoor room with kitchen, lighting and living space reaches $25,000–$80,000 or more (2026 Houston market data). Bager gives you one fixed investment after design.
- How long does an outdoor living project take?
- Most take about 4–8 weeks on site depending on structure, utilities and finishes. Covered structures and outdoor kitchens add time for gas, water and electrical.
- Do covered patios and outdoor kitchens need permits in Houston?
- Attached covers and any gas, water or electrical work require City of Houston permits. Bager pulls and manages them as part of the project.
- What makes outdoor living work in Houston's climate?
- Drainage, shade and heat-tolerant materials. We design for Houston's rain and humidity first — the single most overlooked factor in how long an outdoor space lasts.
- Can you build an outdoor kitchen that lasts outdoors?
- Yes — weather-rated cabinetry, stone surfaces and properly run gas, water and electrical. Built right and sealed, an outdoor kitchen lasts 15–20 years.
- Is the work warrantied?
- Yes. Every project closes with a documented punch list, care guidance and a written workmanship warranty.
