Screened Porches & Screen Rooms
In the Concho Valley a screened porch is mostly a sun structure. Mesh keeps the wasps and the June bugs out, but what decides whether the room gets used is what it does about the west afternoon.
Patio Enclosures
An enclosure suits San Angelo when the goal is dust, wasps and wind rather than temperature. Putting walls around a patio changes how the wind behaves on it, and that alone adds hours to the day out there.
Sunrooms & Glazed Enclosures
A fully glazed room facing the West Texas sun is the easiest way to spend serious money on a space you then avoid half the year. It can be done well.
Retractable & Motorized Screens
Retractable screens make sense here for two reasons: the west sun and the wind. Dropping a solar mesh at four and rolling it back up at seven is the closest thing to adjustable shade that exists.
Rescreening & Screen Repair
Most of the screen we replace in San Angelo was never torn by anything. It has simply been cooked.
Pool Cages & Pool Enclosures
A Florida-style pool cage is not the default answer in the Concho Valley, and we will explain why before quoting one. Two things work against it out here, and they are the wind and the hail.
Screen Doors & Hardware
A screen door here fails from sun and wind, in that order. The frame is rarely the problem.
Insulated Patio Covers
This is the structure we build most often in San Angelo, because a foam-core insulated roof does the one thing the climate really demands. It stops radiant heat instead of collecting it and pushing it back down at you.
Aluminum Patio Covers
Powder-coated extruded aluminum is the workhorse material here. It does not rot, insects ignore it, and unlike timber it will not check and split in air this dry.
Alumawood & Composite Covers
Wood-grain aluminum systems suit this climate well. You get the appearance of a stained timber structure without the one thing timber does badly out here, which is checking and splitting in air that holds almost no moisture.
Lattice Patio Covers
Lattice is genuinely well suited to San Angelo, and part of the reason is counter-intuitive. An open roof lets the wind straight through instead of standing there fighting it.
Wood Patio Covers
Timber can be beautiful over a Texas patio, and it is the material that asks the most of the owner. Nothing rots in air this dry.
Pergola Installation
An attached pergola is the cheapest way to give a bare San Angelo slab some definition and some afternoon shade. Two details decide whether it lasts a decade: the ledger, and the uplift path.
Freestanding Pergolas
A detached structure has no house helping it. Everything the wind does has to be resolved in four posts and whatever those posts are standing in, which is why we start the conversation below ground.
Louvered & Adjustable Pergolas
An adjustable louvered roof answers the exact problem this climate sets. Sun that moves through the day and arrives hardest from the west.
Carports, RV & Boat Covers
Most carports we build in San Angelo are bought for one reason, and that reason is hail. A vehicle under a solid roof is out of the way of the storm that puts every body shop in town on a six-week wait.
Gazebos & Pavilions
A pavilion is the structure that makes a large Concho Valley lot usable. Solid roof, open sides, sited to catch the evening breeze rather than the full weight of the afternoon sun.
Outdoor Kitchens & Living Spaces
The long season is the argument for building a proper outdoor kitchen here. There is no month when the plumbing has to come out of service, and there are a great many evenings when nobody wants a stove running inside the house.
Patio Lighting & Ceiling Fans
Fans and shade are what make a San Angelo patio work. Air movement across dry skin is the most effective cooling available out here, and it costs a fraction of anything mechanical.
San Angelo Elite Patio Covers builds insulated and aluminum patio covers, carports, RV and boat covers, pergolas, louvered roofs and screen rooms across San Angelo, TX and the Concho Valley.
Everything is engineered rather than bolted together from a kit: piers drilled below the active zone in clay and caliche, uplift connections at every post, and spans sized for wind that crosses open country with nothing to slow it down.
We pull the City of San Angelo permit, we build to the adopted residential code, and we hand over drawings you can keep.
Two things make this market different from the rest of Texas. The first is radiant load — well over a hundred degrees for weeks at a time, single-digit humidity, and ultraviolet that strips a cheap finish in a few seasons.
The second is hail, which is genuinely destructive here and the reason so many roofs and covers in this town are on their second life. We specify insulated panels and heavier gauges where they earn their cost, we tell you when they do not, and we would rather quote the smaller honest job than the larger one.
What San Angelo Customers Say
Insulated cover over the back patio off Southland. The difference between this and the old lattice is not subtle — we actually use the patio in July now. Permit handled, crew cleaned up every night.
Two-bay carport plus a cover for the travel trailer. They dug the piers deeper than the last outfit that quoted us and explained exactly why. It has been through two big blows and has not moved.
Told me the lattice I asked for would not do what I wanted on a west-facing patio and priced both anyway. Went with the insulated panel and they were right. Straight answers the whole way through.
Boat cover on a rural property, county permit and all. They checked the setback against our survey before digging, which nobody else bothered to do. Steel roof still looks new after last spring's hail.

About San Angelo Elite Patio Covers in San Angelo, TX
San Angelo Elite Patio Covers has spent over 15 years building outdoor structures across the Concho Valley. We started with carports and aluminum covers out of one truck and grew a job at a time, with the same crew showing up each morning. Today we build insulated covers, carports, RV and boat covers, pergolas, louvered roofs, pavilions and screen rooms for homes, ranch properties and businesses, and we still measure every job ourselves.
Building here is its own discipline. Ultraviolet strips finishes that last a decade in milder places, hail arrives with very little warning, wind crosses open country with nothing to break it, and clay and caliche move under any footing that was not drilled deep enough. We design around all four rather than importing a detail from a gentler market and hoping it holds.
We also tell people when not to hire us. If you want filtered light over a garden path, a lattice costs a fraction of an insulated roof and does that job better. If your patio faces east and is in shade by two in the afternoon, you may not need much from us at all. We would rather quote the right thing and keep the customer.
How It Works

Free on-site quote
We measure, check the framing behind the brick for a real attachment point, and walk sun path and prevailing wind with you. No charge, no pressure.
- 2
Engineering and permit
We size posts, beams and piers for span and uplift, pull the City of San Angelo permit, and handle county permitting on rural and ranch properties.
- 3

Walkthrough and warranty
We walk the finished structure with you, hand over the manufacturer finish warranty and back our workmanship in writing.
Commercial Shade Across the Concho Valley
Commercial work here splits three ways. There are restaurant and brewery patios downtown and along the river, shade and covered walkways for schools, churches and clinics, and covered parking — which in this town is bought for hail rather than for comfort. A dealership or a fleet yard that loses inventory to one storm rarely waits for the second.
We build on engineered piers with documented connections and uplift detailing, and we sequence the work so a business keeps trading while it goes up. Where a landlord, an insurer or the city wants stamped drawings, we provide them rather than sending you off to find an engineer.
- ✓Restaurant, brewery and patio dining shade
- ✓Hail-protection covered parking for dealerships and fleets
- ✓School, church and clinic walkway canopies
- ✓Employee break areas and shade shelters
- ✓Ranch and agricultural equipment covers
- ✓Stamped engineering, permits and inspections

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a patio cover or carport in San Angelo?
Almost always. An attached cover changes the load path on your house and a carport is a permanent structure with setback rules, so the city wants both permitted and inspected. Rural properties go through the county instead. We handle the paperwork and the inspections as part of the job.
What does a patio cover cost in San Angelo, TX?
It depends on span, roof type and whether it is attached or freestanding, so we quote after measuring. A simple aluminum cover over an existing slab sits at the low end, and an insulated RV cover with deep piers and heavy bracing sits well above it. The on-site quote is free and in writing.
Will hail destroy an aluminum patio cover?
Large hail will dent the top skin of any aluminum roof, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling. The dents are cosmetic and the panel keeps doing its job. Twenty-six gauge R-panel steel resists denting better than a light aluminum pan, so if appearance from an upstairs window matters, we would steer you there.
Insulated cover or open lattice in this climate?
Insulated, for anywhere you actually want to sit in summer. Under a lattice at three in the afternoon in July you are in shade and still uncomfortable, because the sun is nearly overhead and the roof above you is radiating. Lattice is genuinely right over walkways, grill stations and planting, and we build plenty of it.
Can you build an RV or boat cover?
Yes, and it is a large part of our work. Most Class A coaches want about fourteen feet of clear height, and a boat on a trailer needs more length than people first guess. Taller posts mean deeper piers and heavier bracing, so these get engineered rather than assembled from a standard kit.
How long does the whole thing take?
Two to five days of build for most residential covers once the piers have cured, longer for a large RV cover or a pavilion. The permit is usually the longer part of the calendar. Wind days can move a roofing crew, and we would rather tell you that up front than promise a date we cannot hold.
