Richardson Elite Patio Covers provides professional sunrooms & glazed enclosures in Richardson, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Telecom Corridor. A sunroom is the most movement-sensitive thing you can attach to a Richardson house. It is rigid, it is glazed, and it is being bolted to a slab-on-grade home sitting on soil that swells every spring and shrinks every August.
We design for that rather than pretending otherwise. The sunroom gets its own drilled belled piers taken below the active clay zone, so its floor is not riding the same seasonal cycle as the house slab. Where the two structures meet, the connection is a flashed and gasketed joint permitted to move a fraction of an inch, not a rigid tie that transfers every bit of differential straight into a pane of glass.
That detail is the difference between a sunroom still sliding open in year twelve and one whose doors started dragging in year three. Owners of 1970s houses in Canyon Creek and Richardson Heights have generally watched an interior door go out of square already, so the mechanism needs no explaining.
For the roof we prefer an insulated foam-core panel with vertical glass walls over anything glazed overhead. Less dead load carried by the piers, far better performance in July, and the fragile element is no longer the thing above your head. Roof glass on a structure that moves is a repair waiting for a date.
If there is an existing screened porch or an old patio cover we are being asked to convert, we will tell you plainly whether it can carry glazing. Frequently it cannot, and the sunroom is a rebuild rather than an upgrade. That is an unwelcome answer and it is cheaper to hear before the deposit than after the glass arrives.
On sequencing, the piers go in first and we let them sit before any frame lands on them. That adds a week to the programme. It is the cheapest insurance available on a structure carrying this much glass, and we will not compress it to hit a date.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — screw-chase extruded aluminum framing, 18x14 fiberglass insect mesh, 20x20 no-see-um mesh, pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester screen, drilled belled piers below the active clay zone, hot-dip galvanized post base standoffs — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Richardson and nearby communities including Plano, Garland, Sachse, Murphy.

Materials, equipment and how we do sunrooms & glazed enclosures
The difference between sunrooms & glazed enclosures that lasts and sunrooms & glazed enclosures that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with screw-chase extruded aluminum framing, 18x14 fiberglass insect mesh, 20x20 no-see-um mesh, pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester screen, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Richardson job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of patio cover work in the Telecom Corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
