Nothing elevates your backyard like a beautifully designed outdoor cooking and entertaining space.
At HHI Patio Covers, we design and build custom outdoor kitchens in Houston that seamlessly integrate with your new or existing patio cover. Whether you’re dreaming of a full outdoor cooking station, bar seating, or a covered outdoor kitchen with fireplace, we create spaces built for comfort, function and long-lasting value.
With more than four decades of experience, and as one of the first patio-cover builders in the Houston area, we know exactly how to design outdoor kitchens that look incredible, withstand Texas weather, and blend naturally with your home.
Why a Covered Outdoor Kitchen Makes Sense
A covered outdoor kitchen transforms your backyard into a true year-round living space. Houston’s strong sun, heat and frequent storms make it difficult to cook or entertain outdoors without protection. Adding a patio cover over your outdoor kitchen not only shields your appliances and countertops, but keeps you and your guests comfortable in every season.
It also opens the door to adding features like a covered outdoor kitchen with fireplace, perfect for enjoying crisp evenings, hosting gatherings or creating a cozy atmosphere for late-night conversations. With roofing overhead, you get:
- Protection from UV rays, rain and wind
- A longer lifespan for appliances and finishes
- More usable days per year
- A cooler, more comfortable cooking environment
- A visually cohesive outdoor living space
A covered outdoor kitchen isn’t just beautiful, it’s a smart, functional upgrade that improves lifestyle and home value.
How We Integrate Your Outdoor Kitchen With Your Patio Cover
Because patio covers are our specialty, we know how to plan your outdoor kitchen as part of the patio cover design, ensuring everything works together structurally, visually and functionally.
Our integrated approach includes:
- Coordinated design: The patio cover and kitchen layout are designed together for a seamless look.
- Hidden utilities: Gas, electrical and plumbing lines are routed cleanly within the patio cover structure.
- Engineered ventilation: Proper vent hoods and airflow planning for safe, comfortable cooking.
- Comfort features: Fans, lighting and electrical outlets strategically placed exactly where you need them.
- Roofing compatibility: Gable, hip, flat or tongue-and-groove designs that match your home’s architecture.
- Fireplace integration: We can safely install fireplaces or fire features beneath the patio cover.
With over 40 years of experience and thousands of patio covers built since 1981, we ensure your integrated patio cover and kitchen is built to last.
