McKinney Elite Patio Covers provides professional screened porches & screen rooms in McKinney, TX for residential and commercial properties across Collin County. The screened porch conversation in McKinney usually starts with a builder's covered patio. The slab is poured, the roof is already on, the fan is wired, and what the owner wants is the mosquitoes gone and the space usable from March into November. Screening a structure that already stands is quick work, and done correctly it stays a patio cover rather than quietly turning into an addition.
Openness is the line that keeps it there. Appendix AH wants the longer wall, plus one more, to keep 65 percent of its area below a height of 6 feet 8 inches open or glazed, measured up from the floor. Screen mesh counts as open, which is why a screen room passes and a sunroom does not. Fill those bays with glass and the room is reviewed as conditioned floor area.
Mesh choice is where the money goes. Standard 18x14 fiberglass is the ordinary default and it is the correct answer on the sheltered bays. A 20x20 weave shuts out no-see-ums and gnats at the cost of airflow, which on a still July evening is a real cost rather than a theoretical one. On the west and south elevations we fit heavier vinyl-coated polyester and frame those bays as removable panels.
Hail sets the maintenance calendar here. A cell dropping stones the size of a golf ball punches clean through mesh on the windward wall and leaves the sheltered side completely untouched. Budget for mesh the way you budget for gutter cleaning rather than treating it as a defect in the product. A removable panel lifts out in minutes instead of a crew dismantling a finished wall.
We lay the bays out to the roll width of the mesh so that no wall panel carries a seam at all, since a seam is exactly where a screen eventually lets go on you. On the deep, narrow patios common in the newer subdivisions we add intermediate mullions rather than stretching one enormous bay that pumps in and out all season and creeps the spline loose.
Approvals come before material. HOA architectural review applies across most of the newer neighborhoods, and the historic district around the downtown square runs its own design review instead. McKinney has reviewed to the 2024 family of codes since 1 October 2025, so a set drawn to an older edition comes back for correction. We start the submittal the day the drawings are agreed rather than the day material is ordered.
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 screened porches & screen rooms
The difference between screened porches & screen rooms that lasts and screened porches & screen rooms 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.
