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 claim to be able to make about the cheapest item on the list. It is also, regularly, the product people buy while expecting shelter from it, and shelter is the one thing an open frame was never going to give them.
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 striking a drum, and the members are stiff closed sections rather than unsupported skin. After a storm that dimples every solid cover on the street, a lattice looks exactly as it did the day before the front arrived.
What you give up is shelter, and it is worth being blunt about that. Lattice controls sun and nothing else at all. Tighter spacing buys shade at midday and very little in the late afternoon, when the west and southwest elevations take their load, and everything underneath still gets rained on and left wet. For an outdoor room you intend to use in bad weather, this is the wrong purchase.
The configuration we build most on newer homes is a hybrid. A 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 actually needs it, and the transition detail is clean when it is designed in rather than added two years later as an afterthought.
On the bigger lots lattice handles wind for the same reason it handles ice: the structure is mostly air, so uplift on it stays modest even in a downburst. That means a lighter frame and smaller posts are honest engineering rather than a corner cut. The load path still runs down to a pier, and the code still asks for 10 pounds per square foot of vertical live load.
Composite lattice is the exception to all of this, since thin embossed sections do mark, so on an exposed lot we specify aluminum lattice in a structural profile instead. Either way it is a permitted structure rather than a Saturday project, and McKinney has reviewed those drawings to the 2024 codes since October 2025, so they have to answer to that edition.
With 15+ years of experience, our 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.
