Edinburg Elite Patio Covers provides professional aluminum patio covers in Edinburg, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Rio Grande Valley. Most of our shade structures are aluminum, and the part of the quote worth reading is the post schedule. The roof panel is the visible bit. The posts decide what the structure can become later, and in Edinburg later usually means screened, because screen is what makes the space usable from May through September. Everything above the post can be changed later; the post schedule cannot.
Here is why. A cover that will be screened one day needs posts placed on a screen bay grid, and a cover that never gets screened can put posts wherever the span tables allow. Those are different layouts. Building the second and then deciding you wanted the first means moving columns, drilling new piers and buying a new beam. A screen bay grid is set by the mesh roll, not by what the beam could span.
Grade matters for a specific reason on this kind of job. A screen channel needs a straight, thick-walled member to bite into, and thin kit panels will not hold one. Non-insulated W-pan roofing is roll-formed and thin by nature, and a thicker pan dents and oil-cans less than a light one under a hailstone, a ladder or a dropped tool. Thin-wall kit sections flex, and a flexing channel lets go of its spline.
Open or solid is a comfort question with a real answer. A solid pan gives full shade and blocks the sky, and underneath it the air can go still. With a decent southeast exposure we often run solid over the seating and leave the outer bay open so air keeps crossing the space. Half a bay of lattice does the same thing for less.
Finish color changes how the space feels after sundown. Light finishes give back less heat into the room below than bronze does, which is why so much of what we install around Edinburg is white or sand even on houses with dark trim. Powder coat is baked on, so it chalks slowly under this sun rather than peeling off in sheets. Hail and grit both find a thin pan before they find a thick one.
Footings go on drilled piers past the seasonal clay and get sized for uplift, with a hold-down at every roof-to-beam and beam-to-post joint. Where a cover meets the house we lap head flashing under the shingles, and we go self-supporting wherever the existing framing will not give a clean ledger. Say early if screens are coming. That flashing detail is the difference between a dry wall and a slow leak nobody finds for two years.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 18x14 fiberglass insect screen, no-see-um and 20x20 tight-weave mesh, solar shade screen fabric, pet-resistant lower-panel mesh, spline-and-groove screen retention, powder-coated extruded aluminum framing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Edinburg and nearby communities including McAllen, Mission, Pharr, Weslaco.

Materials, equipment and how we do aluminum patio covers
The difference between aluminum patio covers that lasts and aluminum 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 18x14 fiberglass insect screen, no-see-um and 20x20 tight-weave mesh, solar shade screen fabric, pet-resistant lower-panel mesh, 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 Edinburg 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 the Rio Grande Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
