San Antonio Sees Rising Demand for Custom Patio Covers as Homeowners Prioritize Outdoor Living

Share this news:

More San Antonio residents are investing in patio covers that combine protection with personalized outdoor design, signaling a shift in how Texans are adapting their homes for year-round enjoyment.

-- Ask anyone in San Antonio how they deal with the summer heat or those sudden, sideways storms, and you’ll hear a similar answer: cover the patio. But this isn’t just about throwing up a shade. For many families, installing a patio cover San Antonio style, built for weather, design, and real life, is becoming one of the smartest investments they make in their homes.

Kyle Brooks sees it firsthand. He’s not just the founder of Integrated Outdoor Designs,he’s also a neighbor, a builder, and someone who grew up under the same unforgiving Texas sun. “People don’t just want something functional anymore,” he said. “They want something that feels like a natural part of the home. Something that actually gets used.”

Turns out, they’re not alone. A 2024 report from the National Association of Home Builders found that over 60% of U.S. homeowners now list covered outdoor spaces as a must-have feature. In San Antonio, where weather shifts from blazing heat to sudden rain within the hour, that number is even higher in practice.

“Most of our clients start the conversation because they’re tired of dragging furniture in and out or watching family events get cut short by a storm,” Brooks shared. “But by the time we’re done, what they’ve created is a new room. A new experience.”

Integrated Outdoor Designs specializes in custom-built solutions, from solid roof extensions to modern pergolas, that reflect the structure and soul of the home. No prefabs. No one-size-fits-all models. Each design is mapped to match both the layout of the property and the way people actually live in it.

Beyond the beauty and shade, the investment pays off. Outdoor structures like patio covers now rank among the top five home upgrades for ROI, according to Remodeling Magazine’s 2024 Cost vs. Value Report, with resale recoup rates approaching 76%.

But not all builds are created equal. “We see a lot of botched jobs or fast installs that skip permits or use poor materials,” Brooks warned. “That’s where we’re different. We care about doing it right, even when no one’s looking.”

The demand isn’t slowing. Industry analysts at IBISWorld project the outdoor living market will grow more than 6% per year through 2027, with Texas leading the trend thanks to its climate and culture.

For Brooks, the real win isn’t the growth, it’s the quiet moment afterward: a shaded backyard, kids playing outside, a family dinner that lasts past sunset. “You feel the difference. That’s when we know we’ve done it right.”

Based in San Antonio, Integrated Outdoor Designs builds custom patio covers designed for real life in South Texas. Owned and operated by Kyle Brooks, the company blends local knowledge, structural craftsmanship, and client trust to help homeowners create lasting outdoor spaces.
