Which patio upgrade suits an Anson home built in the 1960s?

For most Anson homes, a solid or insulated patio cover is the first upgrade worth looking at, because the median house here dates to 1966 and its patio was usually poured bare. A solid cover adds shade and keeps rain off the door. An insulated roof does the same with a cooler, quieter space underneath. If you want the patio to feel like a room, screens or glass can follow on the same roof. With 83 percent of Anson homes owner-occupied, most people plan for the long haul and build the roof first.

Should an Anson patio get an insulated cover or a pergola?

In Anson, an insulated cover is the better choice if you want real relief from afternoon heat, and a pergola is better if you want an open feel with lighter shade. Jones County’s average July high is 97 degrees, and a solid insulated panel blocks that sun completely. A pergola with louvers filters it instead and lets you open the sky on cooler evenings. A west-facing patio usually needs the solid roof. An east-facing one often does fine under slats. We will tell you which way your Anson patio faces and what we would pick.

How does Jones County weather affect a patio cover in Anson?

In Anson, a patio cover has to be built for hail and wind first. The NOAA Storm Events Database lists 56 hail reports in Jones County from 2021 through 2025, and 52 of them were one inch or larger. The largest stone measured 4 inches. The same county records show 21 thunderstorm wind reports and 5 tornado reports, with most hail falling in May, April and June. No cover is hail-proof, but a solid roof that is anchored and engineered for local loads holds up far better than a light frame. Ask any builder how the posts are fastened.

Does the ground in Anson change how a cover is set?

Yes, the ground in Anson changes how a cover is set, because the town sits in a county where the soils run from black to sandy loam over clayey subsoils, and clay moves as it wets and dries. A cover tied to the house has to allow for that, so footing depth and post placement matter more than the roof style. With about 25 inches of county rainfall a year, roof water also needs a planned path away from the slab. Our specialist looks at the existing patio, the grade and the downspouts at the first visit, and the project gallery shows how covers meet the house.

What do 1966-era Anson homes need besides a patio?

Many Anson homes built around 1966 are ready for new windows, siding or doors at the same time as the patio. American Eagle Builders installs Andersen replacement windows, James Hardie fiber cement siding and new sliding patio doors. A sliding door that opens onto a new cover is often the piece people wish they had changed first, because it gets used every day. If the attic is thin, Anson falls in climate zone 3B, where ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an uninsulated attic.
