You know the drill. Summer hits and your patio becomes a furnace. Winter arrives and your backyard sits empty for months. That’s not outdoor living—that’s outdoor surviving.
Real outdoor living means stepping outside in July and finding shade that actually cools you down. It means gathering around a fire pit in January without feeling like you’re camping in your own backyard. It means cooking dinner outside in April without worrying about sudden storms ruining everything.
When your backyard remodeling is done right, you get more than just a prettier space. You get an extension of your home that works when you need it to work. Your friends start asking to come over more often. Your kids spend less time indoors. Your home value increases because buyers can see exactly how they’d use the space.
A Plus Home Remodel has been transforming Tarrant County backyards since the early 1990s. That’s over 400 completed projects and counting, all in neighborhoods just like Bentley Village-Waterchase.
We understand what works in North Texas and what doesn’t. We know that outdoor living spaces here need to handle 100-degree summers, surprise hailstorms, and occasional winter freezes. We’ve seen every HOA requirement and city permit process in the area.
Most importantly, we’ve learned that homeowners in established neighborhoods like yours expect contractors who show up on time, communicate clearly, and clean up after themselves. That’s exactly what you get with every project, whether it’s a simple patio extension or a complete backyard transformation.
Your project starts with a consultation where we assess your space, understand your goals, and discuss what’s realistic for your budget. You’ll see digital renderings of your project before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Next comes the paperwork phase that most homeowners dread. We handle all permits, HOA approvals, and city requirements. You don’t chase down forms or wait in line at government offices. We manage all of that while keeping you updated on progress.
Construction happens on schedule with daily communication. Manny or someone from our team checks in each day to update you on what was accomplished and what’s planned for tomorrow. We clean up every evening so your property doesn’t look like a construction zone longer than necessary. When the project is complete, you get a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets your expectations before we consider the job finished.

Your backyard remodeling project includes everything needed to create a functional outdoor living space. That means proper drainage to handle Texas storms, shade structures designed for intense summer sun, and materials selected specifically for local climate conditions.
In Bentley Village-Waterchase, most projects involve extending existing patios, adding pergolas or covered areas, installing outdoor kitchens, or creating fire pit areas. We also handle decorative concrete, cedar fencing, and landscape integration to ensure your new space looks like it was always part of your home.
Every project comes with complete project management, which means you deal with one person instead of juggling multiple contractors. You get fixed-price estimates so you can budget accurately. All work is performed by licensed, insured professionals who understand local building codes. We also provide digital design services so you can visualize your project before construction begins, making changes easier and less expensive than discovering issues during construction.
Most backyard remodeling projects in Bentley Village-Waterchase take between two to six weeks, depending on scope and complexity. A simple patio extension might be completed in 7-10 days, while a comprehensive outdoor living space with kitchen, pergola, and fire features typically requires 4-6 weeks.
The timeline depends on several factors including permit approval times, HOA review processes, weather conditions, and project complexity. We provide a detailed project schedule upfront and update you on any changes that might affect completion dates. We build buffer time into schedules to account for typical delays like material delivery or unexpected weather.
Weather can impact outdoor construction, but experienced contractors work around Texas climate patterns. We schedule concrete pours and major installations during favorable weather windows and have backup plans for indoor work when conditions aren’t suitable for outdoor construction.
Permit requirements vary based on project scope, but most backyard remodeling in Bentley Village-Waterchase requires city building permits and HOA architectural approval. Simple projects like small patio extensions might only need HOA approval, while comprehensive projects with electrical, plumbing, or structural elements require full city permits.
We handle all permit applications and HOA submissions as part of our service. We know exactly what documentation each approval authority requires and have established relationships with local permit offices. This typically saves homeowners 2-3 weeks of back-and-forth communication and ensures applications are submitted correctly the first time.
The HOA review process in established neighborhoods can be particularly detailed, requiring specific materials, colors, and design elements that complement existing homes. We understand these requirements and design projects that meet approval standards while achieving your functional goals.
Successful outdoor living in Texas requires strategic shade planning, proper ventilation, and heat-resistant materials. This means positioning covered areas to block afternoon sun, incorporating ceiling fans or misting systems, and selecting materials that stay cool underfoot even in direct sunlight.
We design pergolas and patio covers with optimal spacing for airflow while providing adequate shade coverage. Materials like natural stone, stamped concrete, and composite decking are selected for their heat-resistance properties. Water features and strategic landscaping create cooling microclimates that make spaces comfortable even during summer months.
The key is understanding sun patterns throughout the day and seasons. Morning sun might be pleasant in winter but brutal in summer, so we design for year-round usability. Retractable shade elements, adjustable pergola louvers, and flexible furniture arrangements allow you to adapt your space to changing conditions throughout the year.
Our fixed-price estimates include all materials, labor, permits, and project management services needed to complete your backyard remodeling project. This means no surprise charges for permit fees, material price increases, or additional labor costs that weren’t discussed upfront.
Project management includes daily communication, progress updates, permit handling, HOA coordination, material scheduling, and quality control inspections. You get a single point of contact throughout the project rather than dealing with multiple subcontractors. Daily cleanup is included so your property remains functional during construction.
The estimate also covers digital design services, allowing you to see 3D renderings of your project before construction begins. Changes to the original scope are discussed and approved before implementation, with any cost adjustments clearly documented. This approach eliminates the budget uncertainty that makes many homeowners hesitant to start remodeling projects.
Outdoor living spaces increase home value when they’re designed as natural extensions of your indoor living areas and built with quality materials that withstand local climate conditions. This means creating seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, using materials that complement your home’s architecture, and including features that buyers actually want.
In the Bentley Village-Waterchase market, buyers look for low-maintenance outdoor spaces that provide year-round functionality. Features like covered patios, outdoor kitchens, fire elements, and professional landscaping consistently add value because they expand usable living space without the cost of home additions.
The key is professional design and quality construction that looks intentional rather than like an afterthought. Outdoor spaces that appear to be original to the home’s design typically provide better return on investment than obviously added-on features. Using high-quality materials and professional installation ensures the space will look good and function properly for years, which is what potential buyers evaluate when considering home purchases.
We provide complete project management with a single point of contact, which eliminates the coordination headaches most homeowners experience when managing multiple contractors. You deal with one person who oversees all aspects of your project from permits to final cleanup.
Our communication approach sets us apart from typical contractors. Daily check-ins, evening phone calls, and progress updates keep you informed without having to chase down information. We handle all permit applications, HOA approvals, and city requirements as part of our service, not as expensive add-ons.
Our three decades of experience in Tarrant County means we understand local requirements, climate challenges, and neighborhood standards. Our fixed-price approach eliminates budget uncertainty, and our digital design technology lets you see exactly what you’re getting before construction begins. Most importantly, we show up when scheduled, do the work as promised, and clean up after ourselves—basic professionalism that’s surprisingly rare in the construction industry.
