Covered Space That Keeps the Patio Usable

When your patio gets too hot to use in the afternoon or stays wet for hours after a storm, a patio cover changes how much time you can spend outside without discomfort. In Barnhart, where summer sun heats up concrete and rain can roll in without much warning, a roof over your patio keeps the surface dry, the furniture protected, and the space comfortable even when the weather isn't ideal.

McCoy's Exteriors builds patio covers that attach to your home and extend over your existing outdoor slab or pavers. We design each cover to match your roofline, integrate with your siding and trim, and drain water away from the house. Every structure is framed with treated lumber or engineered beams, anchored to the home's exterior wall, and built to handle wind, snow, and long-term exposure without sagging or pulling away.

If you're ready to make your Barnhart patio more functional, contact McCoy's Exteriors to talk through your space and what kind of cover makes sense.

We begin by attaching a ledger board to your home's exterior wall, using bolts and flashing to create a watertight connection that won't let moisture behind the siding. Posts are set in concrete footings at the outer edge of the patio, and beams span between the ledger and the posts to support the roof. In Barnhart, we account for clay soil movement by using adjustable post bases and setting footings below frost depth.

After the cover is installed, your patio will stay dry during rain, and the surface will be noticeably cooler on sunny days. Furniture cushions won't fade as quickly, and you won't need to move everything inside before a storm. Water will drain off the roof into gutters or away from the foundation, depending on how the structure is designed.

We use either a shingled roof that matches your home or a low-slope metal roof that sheds water quickly and requires less maintenance. If you want more airflow, we can build an open-beam cover or add a fan mount. The structure doesn't enclose the patio, so you keep the open feeling while gaining protection from above. We'll also coordinate with any existing lighting or outlets to keep them accessible and code-compliant.

Before adding a patio cover, most people want to know how it attaches, what it's made of, and whether it will block too much light. These answers address the concerns we hear most often.

If you're ready to cover your patio and make it usable in more conditions, McCoy's Exteriors will assess your space, explain your options, and build a structure that fits your home and handles Barnhart weather. Get in touch to schedule a consultation.
