Porch slab
- Wood forms and a rebar grid
- Poured and finished by hand
- Sized to the house and the door
Leal's Welding & Construction pours the porch slab and welds the metal cover that goes over it. One crew handles the concrete and the metal, so the two fit together.
Leal's does two kinds of porch work in Granbury, TX: concrete porch slabs and welded metal porch covers. The slab is the floor of the porch. The crew sets wood forms, lays rebar, pours the concrete and finishes the surface, whether it runs along a brick wall or fills a new front entry. The cover is the roof over it. It is welded from metal, with posts and a metal roof, and built to sit against the house. Plenty of customers want both, and because the same crew pours and welds, the slab and the metal get planned together instead of passed between two outfits. Others only need one piece: a slab for a bare entry, or a cover for a porch they already have. Leal's also welds porch railing. Send us the address area and a few photos, and we will tell you what makes sense for your house.
Start with the slab, start with the metal, or do both in one job. These photos are from Leal's own work.

Pour the porch and weld the cover over it as one job. The crew that forms the slab already knows where the posts will land.
A porch with steps or a drop-off often wants a railing, and Leal's welds those too. Because it is metal work done by the same crew, a railing can be planned along with the slab and the cover instead of added as an afterthought.
See repair and fabricationNo two houses are built the same, so a metal porch cover starts with a look at yours. Here is the plain version of how it goes.
We walk the porch and check the roofline, the wall the cover will sit against and where posts can go on the slab or the ground.
With those spots known, we plan the size, the pitch and the roof, and talk through color and style options with you.
The metal posts are welded to the frame, and the frame is built out to meet the house. Then the metal roof goes on top.
Yes. Leal's welds metal porch covers over existing porches and patios around Granbury, TX. We look at the house, the roofline and the slab you already have, then plan where the posts go and how the cover meets the house. If the slab is cracked or too small, we can pour a new one first.
Size is the biggest factor, followed by how the cover ties into the roofline, how many posts it needs, and whether the porch needs a new slab, railing or both. A small slab and a long metal cover on a Granbury house are different jobs. Tell us what you picture and we will give you a quote.
Both. Leal's pours new porch slabs, and we can also form and pour an addition when an existing porch in Granbury is too small. The crew sets forms, lays rebar and finishes the surface. We look at how the new concrete will meet the old before we say which way makes sense.
We talk through roof color and style options with you before the metal goes up. Tell us what the house looks like, whether the roof is flat or pitched and how you use the porch, and we plan the cover to suit it. Bring photos of your Granbury home when you ask for a quote.
