Your backyard isn’t just grass and a fence anymore. It’s square footage you’re not using.
When we’re done, you’ll have a covered patio where you can eat dinner without fighting mosquitoes. An outdoor kitchen that keeps the heat outside during Texas summers. Fire pit areas where your family actually wants to spend time after work and on weekends.
The best part? You get all this extra living space without a mortgage payment or moving boxes. Your property value goes up, your utility bills stay reasonable, and you finally have somewhere to go when you need to get out of the house but don’t want to leave home.
A Plus Home Remodel has been transforming Watauga backyards since the 1990s. We’ve completed over 400 projects across Tarrant County, so we know what works in North Texas heat and what doesn’t.
We’re the contractors your neighbors actually recommend. The ones who show up when we say we will, handle permits without you having to think about it, and don’t disappear after we cash your check.
Watauga homeowners choose us because we understand local building codes, HOA requirements, and how to build outdoor spaces that can handle everything from summer storms to winter freezes. When you’re investing this much in your property, experience matters.
First, we walk your property and listen to what you actually want to do back there. Not what we think you should want – what you want. Cooking outside? Entertaining? Just somewhere to sit with coffee that’s not your kitchen table?
Then we design it using digital technology so you can see exactly what it’ll look like before we break ground. No surprises, no “trust us, it’ll be great.” You see your new backyard on screen first.
We handle permits, HOA approvals, and coordinate all the moving parts. You get one point of contact – not a different person every time you call. We’re on-site daily checking progress, and you get updates whether you ask for them or not.
The work gets done on schedule with fixed pricing. No change orders unless you change your mind about something. When we’re finished, you’ve got an outdoor space that works for your family and adds real value to your home.

We build covered patios that give you shade during Watauga’s brutal summer months. Outdoor kitchens with proper ventilation and storage. Fire pit areas with seating that’s actually comfortable. Concrete work that won’t crack in Texas heat.
Every project includes decorative concrete options, proper drainage for our unpredictable weather, and electrical work for lighting and outlets. We install cedar fencing, pergolas, and board-and-batten features that match your home’s existing style.
Local insight matters here. We know Watauga’s soil conditions, drainage patterns, and how to build structures that pass city inspections the first time. Your project includes all permits, HOA coordination, and warranty coverage on our work.
The materials we use are selected for North Texas weather – not what looks good in a catalog. Heat-resistant concrete, fade-resistant stains, and hardware that won’t rust out in two years. You’re investing in your property, not replacing it in five years.
Backyard remodeling costs depend on what you’re building and how much space you’re working with. A basic covered patio starts around $10,000-15,000, while complete outdoor living spaces with kitchens and fire features run $25,000-50,000+.
The smart approach is getting a fixed-price estimate upfront so you know exactly what you’re spending. We provide detailed quotes that include all permits, materials, and labor – no hidden fees or surprise charges later.
Most Watauga homeowners see strong returns on outdoor investments. Patios alone recover 95% of costs in added home value, and outdoor kitchens often return 100% according to real estate data.
Watauga requires permits for most permanent outdoor structures including covered patios, outdoor kitchens, concrete pads over certain sizes, and electrical work. The specific permits depend on your project scope and property location.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. This includes submitting plans to the city, scheduling required inspections, and ensuring everything meets local building codes. You don’t have to navigate city hall or worry about compliance issues.
HOA approval is separate from city permits if your neighborhood has one. We coordinate both processes simultaneously to avoid delays. Most projects require 2-4 weeks for approvals before we can start construction.
Timeline depends on project complexity and weather. A straightforward covered patio typically takes 1-2 weeks once we start construction. Complete outdoor living spaces with kitchens and multiple features usually need 3-6 weeks.
Permit approval adds 2-4 weeks before construction begins. We schedule your project start date after all approvals are in place, so there’s no waiting around once we break ground.
Weather can affect concrete work and other outdoor construction. We build buffer time into schedules for North Texas weather patterns, and we’ll keep you updated if conditions cause delays. Your project gets finished right, not rushed.
Yes, we regularly work around existing pools, mature trees, and established landscaping. The key is proper planning and understanding what can stay versus what needs modification.
We assess your current setup during the initial consultation and design around features you want to keep. Sometimes existing elements actually enhance the new design – like incorporating mature trees into covered patio layouts or connecting new patios to existing pool areas.
When landscaping needs modification, we handle it carefully and restore areas that aren’t part of the permanent construction. We’re not in the business of destroying your yard to build something new.
All our work includes warranty coverage on both materials and labor. Concrete work is warrantied against structural defects, and we guarantee proper installation of all components including electrical, plumbing, and structural elements.
Specific warranty terms depend on the materials and scope of work. We use manufacturers’ warranties for appliances and fixtures, plus our own workmanship guarantee. Everything is documented in your contract before work begins.
If issues arise during the warranty period, we return to address them at no charge. We’ve been serving Watauga for over 30 years because we stand behind our work, not because we’re good at avoiding callbacks.
Spring and fall are ideal for outdoor construction in North Texas. Temperatures are more comfortable for workers, and there’s less chance of weather delays from summer storms or winter freezes.
However, we work year-round and can schedule projects based on your needs. Winter actually offers some advantages – less demand means faster scheduling, and outdoor spaces are ready for spring and summer use.
Summer projects are manageable but may require earlier start times to avoid peak heat. We adjust work schedules seasonally to maintain quality and keep crews productive. The key is planning ahead regardless of season.
