McKinney Elite Patio Covers provides professional lattice patio covers in McKinney, TX for residential and commercial properties across Collin County. A lattice cover is the one patio structure in McKinney with almost nothing on it for a hailstorm to ruin, which is an odd thing to be able to say about the cheapest option on the list.
There is no roof pan. An open lattice of aluminum or composite rafters presents narrow edges rather than a broad flat sheet, ice passes between the members instead of hitting a drum, and the members themselves are stiff closed sections rather than unsupported skin. After a storm that dimples every solid cover on the street, a lattice looks precisely as it did the day before.
What you are giving up is shelter, and it is worth being blunt about it. Lattice controls sun and nothing else. Tighter spacing buys shade at midday and very little late in the afternoon, and everything underneath gets rained on, hailed on and left wet. If the goal is an outdoor room you use in bad weather, lattice is the wrong purchase.
The configuration we build most on newer homes is a hybrid. Solid insulated panel over the seating and dining zone, lattice over the run beyond it where the grill and the planting go. You pay for the expensive roof only across the square footage that needs it, and the transition detail is clean when it is designed in rather than added two years later.
On the bigger lots, lattice handles wind for the same reason it handles ice. The structure is mostly air, so uplift on it is modest. That means a lighter frame and smaller posts are entirely honest engineering rather than a corner being cut, and the saving is real.
Composite lattice is the exception to all of this. Thin embossed sections do mark, so on an exposed lot we specify aluminum lattice in a structural profile instead.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — heavy-gauge extruded aluminum sections, foam-core insulated roof panels, drilled pier-and-beam footings, bell-bottom concrete piers, hot-dip galvanized standoff post bases, through-bolted and flashed ledger attachment — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve McKinney and nearby communities including Allen, Frisco, Plano, Prosper.

Materials, equipment and how we do lattice patio covers
The difference between lattice patio covers that lasts and lattice patio covers that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with heavy-gauge extruded aluminum sections, foam-core insulated roof panels, drilled pier-and-beam footings, bell-bottom concrete piers, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every McKinney job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of patio cover work in Collin County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
