What storms should a Robert Lee patio cover be built for?

A Robert Lee patio cover should be built for spring hail first and wind second. The NOAA Storm Events Database lists 23 hail reports in Coke County from 2021 through 2025, 22 of them one inch or larger and the largest 2.75 inches, with the most in May, April and March. The county also had 4 thunderstorm wind reports and 2 tornado reports. Posts set in footings, a roof fastened to the house framing and a design engineered for local wind and load are what count. That is how we build our patio covers, and why we pull a permit where one applies.

Is a screened enclosure worth it in Robert Lee?

A screened enclosure is worth it in Robert Lee if bugs or dust keep you inside. Coke County gets only 20.48 inches of rain a year, so the patio is usable on most days, but wind carries dust and mosquitoes show up after a storm. A screened patio enclosure under a solid roof stops both while letting the breeze through. A screen door with a closer and pet-resistant mesh make it easier to live with. It will not cool the air, so a ceiling fan is worth planning in from the start, while the roof is open.

Sunroom or all-season room: which fits the Robert Lee climate?

For the Robert Lee climate, an all-season room fits families who want the space in winter and summer, while a sunroom fits mainly spring and fall use. Coke County’s average January low is 29 degrees, and its July high averages 97. That is a wide swing for a room made mostly of glass. An all-season sunroom uses insulated glass, walls and roof and can share the home’s heating and cooling. A standard sunroom is brighter, lighter and costs less to build. Coke County is in climate zone 3B, a warm, dry zone, so glass choice matters.

What do Robert Lee homes built around 1973 need now?

Robert Lee homes built around 1973, the median year, often need new windows, exterior doors and siding repair by now. Windows from the early 1970s let in heat in a 97 degree July and cold air on a 29 degree January night. We install Andersen replacement windows, entry doors and James Hardie siding. Robert Lee has 531 households and 62 percent owner-occupancy, and for owners, tackling the patio wall and its openings together avoids opening up the same wall twice.

Does hilly ground around Robert Lee affect a cover or sunroom?

Hilly ground around Robert Lee can affect a cover or sunroom where the slab steps down or the yard slopes away from the house. Coke County rises from 1,800 feet in the south to 2,600 feet in the north, with prairie, hills and the Colorado River valley, and sandy loam and red soils predominate. On a sloped lot, posts on the low side need longer footings, and a slab that tilts must be checked before glass walls go on. We measure grade at the estimate and plan drainage so roof water runs away from the slab.

How does a Robert Lee project run from estimate to inspection?

A Robert Lee project runs in four steps: a free in-home estimate, your approval, the build and a final inspection where a permit applies. Our crew is based near Clyde, about 67 miles away, so we order materials first and book install days in a block. If a permit is needed, we file it with the city or Coke County, depending on your address, and schedule the inspection. Before we leave, we walk the finished work with you and answer questions. Financing programs are available if spreading payments helps.
