Mission Elite Patio Covers provides professional lattice patio covers in Mission, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Upper Rio Grande Valley. We install lattice, and we talk most Mission customers out of it. Not because the product is bad. Because of what a concrete slab does here between June and September.
An open lattice cover blocks somewhere between a third and two-thirds of direct sun depending on rafter spacing. The rest lands on the slab. Concrete stores that heat through the afternoon and gives it back upward for hours after the sun is off it, so the patio is still warm at eight in the evening, which is exactly when a family wants to be out there.
That is the whole argument. Shade arriving in pieces does not stop the slab from charging. A solid roof does, an insulated panel does it best, and every customer who has sat under both knows within a minute which one they wanted. It is not a taste question, it is a thermal one.
There are places lattice is right, and we build those. Over a side walkway where full shade would make it dark. Over a planting bed or a citrus tree that wants filtered light. As a transition strip on the outer three feet of a solid cover, so the edge does not read as a wall. On a north elevation where direct sun was never the problem.
If you want the lattice look and evening comfort both, the answer is usually both: insulated roof over the seating area, lattice extension past it. One structure, one finish, one continuous fascia. It also gives the fans somewhere to hang.
A practical note on spacing. Tighter rafters cost more and buy shade in small increments, and past a point you are paying for most of a solid roof without getting the benefit of one. If the spacing you are drawn to is under three inches, price the solid panel and compare the two honestly.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — powder-coated extruded aluminum framing, foam-core insulated roof panels, screw-chase and snap-cover extrusions, drilled pier footings below the active clay zone, engineered uplift and hold-down connections, 18x14 and no-see-um insect screen — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Mission and nearby communities including Palmview, Alton, Peñitas, Palmhurst.

Materials, equipment and how we do lattice patio covers
The difference between lattice patio covers that lasts and lattice patio covers that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with powder-coated extruded aluminum framing, foam-core insulated roof panels, screw-chase and snap-cover extrusions, drilled pier footings below the active clay zone, 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 Mission 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 Upper Rio Grande Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
