With open lake wind and a history of hard hail, a cover here has to keep the patio dry and stand up to a spring storm. Serving Wylie and all of Collin County.

Wylie sits between Lavon Lake and Lake Ray Hubbard, and an April 2016 hailstorm damaged most of its homes, so lakeside back yards here deal with open wind and hard storms. A patio cover in Wylie has to be anchored and roofed to handle that weather.
We roof a Wylie cover the way we would roof a small house, with flashing at every edge and a finish that can take a hail season. Posts go on footings set deep enough to resist wind coming off open water. Newer homes that back onto the lake or a floodplain can have an open space easement behind them, so we find it on the plat before we place anything.

Tied into the main roof and flashed to keep wind-driven rain out.
A freestanding cover farther from the house, built like a small roofed building.
Shades the patio while leaving the view toward the water open.
Wired for fans and lights so the space works on calm summer nights.
Some owners like to see the roof pitch and post spacing before they commit. We can model the cover against your house in 3D so you can try a different size or finish on screen.
Mention it when you book the measuring visit in Wylie.

Woodbridge, Inspiration and Kreymer East are all association communities, and HOAs like these typically review exterior additions such as patio covers. Because Wylie leaves deed restrictions to the owner, we match the roof pitch, shingle or metal finish and trim color to the house and prepare the plans for the HOA submission before we apply for the permit.

Patio covers are on Wylie’s list of projects that require one, with a plan review before approval. Estrada submits early to keep your schedule on track and prepares the HOA package as well.
Earlier than most people think. In an association community the HOA reviews it first, then the city does its plan review, and only then does building start. Starting the design in late winter leaves room for both reviews before the hot months arrive.
Ask for the architectural guidelines and the submittal form, and whether the board wants roof samples or a color sheet. Ask too whether it limits cover size or placement. Having those answers first keeps us from redrawing the plans after the board has looked at them.
Yes. Because we roof it with the same kind of shingle or metal used on a house, a damaged section can be replaced without rebuilding the frame. It makes sense to have the cover checked whenever the main roof is inspected after a storm.
We walk your Wylie yard, give you a straight price, and show you how the cover is built and tied in.
