Richardson Elite Patio Covers provides professional aluminum patio covers in Richardson, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Telecom Corridor. Aluminum is the workhorse retrofit in Richardson. A large share of our year is spent taking down a tired 1970s wood cover and replacing it with an extruded structure sitting on footings that were done properly this time.
Light weight is the engineering argument, not just the maintenance one. A roll-formed W-pan roof on extruded beams weighs a fraction of a wood-framed, shingled cover. The footings under it carry less, which means seasonal soil movement has less mass to work against. On a marginal existing foundation that difference decides whether the job is possible at all.
The attachment is where our attention goes. Richardson brick veneer from that era is a single wythe with an air gap behind it, and it is cladding rather than structure. A ledger lagged into veneer is holding onto nothing in particular. We through-bolt into the framing behind it, flash the ledger correctly, and keep the weep holes clear so the wall can still drain the way it was built to.
Where the veneer shows stepped cracking, previous repointing or a course visibly out of level along the back wall, we will often recommend not attaching at all. A freestanding cover on its own drilled piers, set an inch off the house with a flashed gap, is the better structure on a house with a movement history. Two extra posts against a lifetime of veneer repair.
Drainage is structural here, not trim. We fit an integral fascia gutter and carry the downspouts well away from the wall, because water dumping at the slab edge is precisely what drives the moisture swing damaging your house and your cover together.
Finishes are baked enamel and they hold up for decades. We match to the trim you already have rather than to a brochure, and we bring samples out to the wall, because a colour that reads correctly on a printed card rarely reads the same against fifty-year-old brick.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — screw-chase extruded aluminum framing, 18x14 fiberglass insect mesh, 20x20 no-see-um mesh, pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester screen, drilled belled piers below the active clay zone, hot-dip galvanized post base standoffs — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Richardson and nearby communities including Plano, Garland, Sachse, Murphy.

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 screw-chase extruded aluminum framing, 18x14 fiberglass insect mesh, 20x20 no-see-um mesh, pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester screen, 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 Richardson 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 Telecom Corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
