We stand in your yard at four in the afternoon to see where the shadow falls. If your garage holds storage, a carport keeps hail off the car.

We build patio covers, covered porches and carports in Edinburg, 58 minutes from Rio Grande City. An attached cover over an existing slab runs three to five working days. Most Edinburg calls start with a west facing back slab that takes full sun all afternoon.

Local conditions02

What houses in Edinburg actually deal with

A cover is priced by the footprint, the posts and how it ties into the house. A freestanding carport and an attached cover over the same slab do not cost the same. Edinburg is close enough to skip the travel rule, which only starts to apply out in zones 3 and 4.

Back yards in the newer subdivisions north of Edinburg have a slab but no shade over it.
The trees planted with those houses are still too small to cover an afternoon.
A west facing slab here is unusable from about two in the afternoon until sundown.
Older homes near downtown often have a deep front porch and a bare back slab.
Households here park in the driveway, so a carport is what saves the car in a hail event.
Straight line wind in March lifts a cover that was set on the slab instead of anchored to it.

Permits and requirements

A patio cover is a structure, so more cities review it than review a fence.
What Edinburg asks for depends on the address and on whether the cover attaches to the house.
We read that for your lot before we quote, and we pull whatever the city requires.

Which homes has David Aceves helped build?

Homes built by Cuates Construction, with David Aceves on the build. Look at the covered patios, the posts and beams and the concrete underfoot: David plans a porches and patio covers job with that same eye.

Questions we get04

What people in Edinburg ask us

Which side of the Edinburg house should the cover go on?

Usually the west or southwest side, because that is where the afternoon lands. We stand in the yard at four and look at where the shadow falls. Sometimes the slab is fine and the real problem is glare through a window. In that case a screen does more than a roof.

Can you add a carport to an Edinburg house that already has a garage?

Yes, and it is a common request here. Many garages in Edinburg hold storage, a laundry area or a workshop, so the cars live outside. A carport keeps hail and sun off them. The setback from the front property line is a city question, and we check it before we price.

Will a patio cover make the back rooms of my Edinburg house cooler?

It helps most on the newer houses north of Edinburg, where no tree is shading that wall yet. The cover stops sun from hitting the glass and the slab, so neither one stores heat all afternoon. The rooms behind that wall feel it first, and the slab stops radiating earlier at night. It is shade, not air conditioning, and we do not promise a number.
