Turn your backyard into space you'll actually use.
DTP Construction & Home Improvements is the outdoor living contractor building patio covers, decks, carports, and sunrooms for East Texas weather.
East Texas summers are long, the humidity is real, and storms roll through often enough that your outdoor space needs to hold up to more than a mild afternoon. As a home improvement contractor working across Gladewater, Longview, Tyler, and the surrounding lake communities, we build outdoor living additions that fit how you actually spend time at home, not a generic catalog design. Every addition we build is designed to hold up to Piney Woods heat and Gulf-fed storms.
Whether you're near Lake Gladewater, out toward Cedar Creek Lake by Athens, or closer to Caddo Lake by Marshall, the goal is the same: extend your living space outdoors without adding a maintenance headache.
Every property is different, so we build every outdoor living addition around your yard, your budget, and how your family actually uses the space. Below is the full range of outdoor living construction services we offer as a home improvement contractor serving Gladewater and the surrounding region.
Each project starts with an honest conversation about what you want the space to do, followed by a design and quote you can actually plan around.
As a patio enclosure contractor, we build screened patio installation and glass enclosures that keep pests, wind, and rain out while keeping the view in. It's a smart way to reclaim a patio that only gets used a few weeks a year.
Our team builds custom patio covers in wood and metal, giving homeowners options for shade level, style, and upkeep. As a patio cover contractor offering metal patio cover installation and traditional builds, we match the cover to your roofline and your budget.
From a simple platform deck to a multi-level entertaining space, our deck construction work is built for East Texas humidity and heavy use. As a custom deck builder specializing in wood deck installation, we frame decks that stay solid season after season.
Protect your truck, boat, or farm equipment with a carport built to handle wind and hail. As a carport builder offering metal carport installation and custom carport construction, we size and place carports to fit your driveway or property layout.
Add livable square footage without a full home addition. Our sunroom installation projects give you a climate-comfortable space to enjoy the yard view without the bugs, heat, or cold.
The right outdoor living project depends on how you use your yard, how much sun exposure the space gets, and what you're trying to solve. A family that grills every weekend has different needs than one looking for a quiet, bug-free reading nook.
As an exterior remodeling contractor, we walk every property before recommending a design, checking drainage, sun angles, and how the addition will tie into your existing roofline and siding. If you're already planning other exterior upgrades, it often makes sense to pair a new deck or patio cover with siding installation, a privacy fence installation for added backyard seclusion, or window replacement along the back of the house to open up the view.
Yes. As a local general contractor, we pull the necessary permits for decks, carports, and enclosures in Gladewater, Longview, Tyler, and the other communities we serve, and we handle inspections as part of the build.
A patio cover is an open-sided roof structure that provides shade and rain protection, while a patio enclosure adds screens or glass panels around the perimeter to fully close off the space from bugs and weather. Many homeowners start with a cover and add screening later.
Absolutely. Many clients pair a new deck or patio cover with siding installation, window installation, or a fence installation so the whole exterior gets updated in one coordinated project. We can also walk you through financing options if you're planning multiple upgrades at once.
From a screened-in patio near downtown Gladewater to a new carport out on a wooded lot toward Kilgore, DTP Construction & Home Improvements builds outdoor living additions that hold up to East Texas weather and fit how your family actually lives. Reach out for a straightforward quote and a design that starts with your yard, not a template.
