The Longhorn difference

Your Backyard Wasn’t Meant to Be Built One Contractor at a Time.

A pool company builds the pool. Another contractor builds the patio. Someone else handles the kitchen. Then you hope everything lines up.

We believe there’s a better way.

Longhorn looks at your entire backyard before construction begins. We plan how the spaces connect, where people will gather, how traffic will flow and how every element works together.

The result is a backyard that feels like it was always supposed to be there.

One vision. One coordinated project. One company standing behind the work.

“I was extremely impressed with the professionalism the workers displayed. The patio has given my back yard that extra boost it needed. If you're looking to add a patio I would recommend Longhorn.”

YYolanda PaytonPatio project

“We had our patio concrete coated and then screen enclosed. Both crews were really nice and easy to work with. Very thorough and paid attention to detail.”

RRoy OwenPatio enclosure
★★★★★

“They were great, covered everything and cleaned it all up. Then they even put my things back on the shelves. I never expected that. You will be happy with their work.”

DDebra ReppWindow replacement

“They worked diligently with the city of Arlington to get the building permit approved and started work almost immediately. We are extremely pleased with the quality of the work.”

BBryan ClinePatio & enclosure
★★★★★

“These energy efficient windows and doors are already showing a return on our utility bill. Best investment we have made for our home to date — and they give the house more curb appeal.”

“Longhorn designed and built a pergola over my back patio. It is beautifully done. Materials and craftsmanship are both top-notch. I absolutely love it!”

LLois LeftwichCustom pergola
★★★★★

“Longhorn installed insulated siding a couple years ago. Not only does it still look brand new, I haven't had frozen pipes or a cold house since. I highly recommend!”

MMel PerksonInsulated siding
★★★★★

“20+ years ago was the installation of siding and windows. To still be in business says a lot about a company. Both times I've called for repairs they've done fantastic work.”

FFrankieLong-term customer
★★★★★

“From the concrete to the patio cover and the sliding patio door, their attention to detail and professionalism were top notch. They do the job right the first time without cutting corners.”

Pool Patio Enclosure in DFW: Barrier Code Rules

A screen room next to a pool is a good idea that carries one complication nobody mentions in the showroom: it can change where your safety barrier line falls, and that line is inspected.

In North Texas the gap between a sunroom and an all-season room is not the glass. It is heating and cooling, and the permit, foundation and tax questions that come with it.
