How much hail should a Lipan patio cover be built for?

A Lipan patio cover should be built for large hail. The NOAA Storm Events Database lists 56 hail reports in Hood County from 2021 through 2025, 49 of them an inch or larger, and the biggest stone measured 4.5 inches. May, April and March had the most reports. The county also recorded 16 thunderstorm wind reports and 2 tornado reports. We build insulated covers with solid frames, posts set in proper footings and roofs fastened securely at the house, built to local wind and load rules.

What does a rural Lipan lot mean for a patio project?

A rural Lipan lot means planning for wind, sun and drainage before choosing a cover or room. Lipan has 139 households on about 1.1 square miles, and Hood County’s terrain is undulating to hilly, so a patio may face open ground or sit on a slope. We size posts and footings for local wind and load, orient the cover to block afternoon sun and plan where roof water will run. A pergola with louvers or a solid cover can both work, depending on how the house faces.

What should a Lipan home built around 1973 check before adding a cover?

A Lipan home built around 1973 should check the fascia, the back wall and the slab before adding a cover. Older roof edges can be weathered, and a slab on red or mottled loam may have settled. We look at all three at the estimate. If the back door or siding needs work, we can replace sliding glass doors or put up new insulated vinyl siding at the same time. With 89 percent of homes owner-occupied, most Lipan families plan to stay and want it done right.

Does a Lipan attic need more insulation?

Many Lipan attics need more insulation, since homes built around 1973 often have only a thin original layer. Hood County is in climate zone 3A, and ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an uninsulated attic, or R-38 if 3 to 4 inches are already in place. We install blown-in insulation for thin attics and spray foam where air leaks are the real problem. We check the attic during the patio visit and tell you straight if it is already fine, so you only pay for work the house actually needs.
