What is the most common patio project for a newer Van Alstyne home?

The most common patio project for a newer Van Alstyne home is a solid or insulated cover that extends the short porch roof out over the whole slab. With a median build year of 2005, most houses here came with a small covered area at the back door and an open patio beyond it. A covered patio adds shade and a dry spot for spring storms. If you plan to add screens or glass later, we build the cover to carry them, so the next step is simpler.

How often does hail hit Van Alstyne?

Hail hits Van Alstyne often: Grayson County logged 124 hail reports from 2021 through 2025 in the NOAA Storm Events Database, and 109 were an inch or larger. The largest was 2.5 inches. May, March and June saw the most, and the county also had 47 thunderstorm wind reports and 2 tornado reports. A cover with insulated roof panels resists hail far better than thin metal. After a storm, take photos, call your insurer before signing anything and do not pay a large deposit to anyone who knocks.

Does blackland soil affect a sunroom in Van Alstyne?

Blackland soil affects a sunroom in Van Alstyne because the walls put steady weight on a slab that sits on clay that swells and shrinks. Grayson County’s southern part has blackland soils, and Van Alstyne falls in that soil zone. With about 37 inches of rain a year in the county, the ground goes through wet and dry cycles often. Before we design a sunroom, we check slab thickness and edges, add footings where needed and route roof water away from the foundation.

Is a screened porch or an all-season room better in Van Alstyne?

In Van Alstyne, a screened porch is better for spring-to-fall evenings, and an all-season room is better if you want the space in January and July. Grayson County averages a 30-degree January low and a 96-degree July high. A screened porch keeps mosquitoes out and lets air through but does not heat or cool. An all-season room uses insulated walls, roof and glass and can tie into your HVAC. Many owners start with a solid cover built to carry walls, then decide later whether screens or glass suit how they use it.
