Materials We Trust
- Concrete pavers over a compacted aggregate base, with polymeric sand joints.
- Capped composite decking on treated framing with coated or stainless fasteners.
- Aluminum pergolas and railings that will not rot or need paint.
- Natural stone and brick veneers for seat walls, columns and fire features.
Details You Do Not See
Base depth and compaction under pavers, flashing where a ledger meets the house, joist spacing that matches the decking, and hardware rated for treated lumber are all hidden after the job is done. They are also the reasons a space stays level and dry. We photograph key steps so you have a record.
Tying a Roof Into the House
A covered patio that joins the existing roof needs proper pitch, flashing and framing to avoid leaks and sagging. Because Tekton is also a roofing contractor, we handle the roof tie-in ourselves instead of leaving it to guesswork. Shingle or metal roofing can be matched to the house.
Comparing Surfaces for Your Project
Each surface has a place. Pavers flex with soil movement and are easy to repair. Stamped concrete offers a seamless look at a lower cost but can crack over time. Natural stone delivers unique character. Composite decking works where the ground slopes or the door sits high. We often combine surfaces, such as a composite deck stepping down to a paver patio, and we help you decide which makes sense for each area of your yard rather than defaulting to one material.

Common Questions
What types of outdoor spaces do you build in Flowood?
Patios, decks, pergolas, covered patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, walkways and lighting, either individually or as a complete design.
What materials do you recommend?
Concrete pavers, capped composite decking, aluminum pergolas and railings, and natural stone or brick accents are our go-to choices for durability in Mississippi weather.
How long will my patio or deck take?
Most are completed in about 1 to 3 weeks once construction starts. Covered structures and kitchens can extend that.
Can you handle the roof over my patio?
Yes. As a roofing contractor, we build and tie in patio covers with proper flashing and roofing to match your home.
Is stamped concrete or pavers better for a patio?
Pavers usually hold up better on shifting soils and can be repaired piece by piece. Stamped concrete can cost less but may crack. We explain both based on your site.
