Patio Covers
A roof over the patio gives a Blanket family shade through Brown County’s 96-degree July afternoons, and we frame it to meet a roofline that may date back to the early 1960s.

What we build for Blanket backyards
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
An insulated cover holds back radiant heat and softens the sound of hail, which matters in a county with 57 reports of one-inch hail or larger from 2021 to 2025.
Pergolas
A pergola suits a Blanket yard where you want shade without closing in the view. We size the posts and beams to your patio rather than using a kit.
Patio Enclosures
Screened walls let a Blanket porch catch the breeze while keeping out insects and leaves. Pet-resistant screen and a screen door can be part of the plan.
Sunrooms
Glass walls and a solid roof create a bright room for spring and fall in Blanket. We check the slab and footings first, since soils in Brown County vary widely.
All-Season Sunrooms
For use in every month, an all-season room adds insulated glass, walls and roof, and can connect to your home’s heating and cooling for 33-degree January lows.
Can a small-town home in Blanket get a custom patio cover?
Yes, a home in Blanket can get a fully custom patio cover, since town size does not change how we design or build. Blanket has 128 households across about 0.6 square miles, and the median home dates to 1963. A cover for a house that age usually has to meet an older roofline, sometimes with low eaves, and the estimator plans the slope and beam height around it. If attaching is not a good fit, a freestanding covered patio or a custom pergola is another route.
Is a screen room a good idea for a Blanket porch?
A screen room is a good idea for a Blanket porch if insects or blowing debris keep you inside on mild evenings. A screened patio enclosure keeps the space open to air while blocking bugs and leaves. It does not hold heat or cooling, so in Brown County, where July highs average 96 degrees, most owners pair screens with a solid roof overhead. Photos in our screen room gallery show how the framing meets different house styles. Screens can also be added later under a cover built strong enough for them.
What does Blanket’s ground mean for posts and slabs?
Blanket ground can change from one lot to the next, because Brown County soils range from heavy loam to sand, clay and shales. That mix affects how deep footings go and whether an old slab can carry new posts. Sand drains and can wash out, clay holds moisture and shifts, and shale may sit shallow and be hard to dig. We look at the slab edge, any cracks and how water drains across the yard before deciding. With 27.42 inches of rain a year in the county, the downspout plan off a new roof deserves attention too.
How do spring storms in Brown County affect a cover in Blanket?
Spring storms are the main weather test for a patio cover in Blanket. Brown County recorded 59 hail reports from 2021 through 2025, with stones as large as 3.25 inches, and May, April and March had the most. There were also 26 thunderstorm wind reports and 6 flood reports. A cover needs to be anchored for wind, and a roof with a solid or insulated deck takes hail better than an open lattice. If an older cover was hit, take photos, call your insurer and get a written estimate before signing anything.
Do you replace windows and doors on 1960s homes in Blanket?
Yes, we replace windows and doors on Blanket homes, where the median house was built in 1963 and many still have older openings. American Eagle Builders installs Andersen replacement windows and new front entry doors, and we can include siding too. Doing a patio cover and windows at the same visit keeps one point of contact and one written estimate. If a door sticks, we check the frame first, since ground movement in Brown County can pull an opening out of square.

Do you need a permit in Blanket?
A permit review for a Blanket patio or sunroom goes to the city if your lot is inside the city limits and to Brown County if it is not. We confirm which one at the estimate and file the paperwork.
Which office reviews the job depends on whether your address is inside the City of Blanket or in unincorporated Brown County. We confirm that at the estimate and file the paperwork ourselves.
Our permit guide covers the rest, including how an HOA submittal fits in.
Blanket, TX patio questions
Our crew is based near Clyde, about 58 miles from Blanket, and the scheduling office is in Arlington. We set the estimate visit first, then plan the build date around your project and the materials it needs.
It matters for the design, not for whether we can build. With a median build year of 1963, many Blanket homes have lower rooflines and older framing. The estimator checks how a cover can attach, or recommends a freestanding frame if attaching would strain the house.
Photograph the damage from several angles and report it to your insurance company. Be careful with anyone asking for a large deposit at the door. We can inspect the cover and give you a free written estimate for repair or replacement. Coverage depends on your policy.
Room size, glass type, whether the walls and roof are insulated, the condition of your slab and any electrical or HVAC tie-ins all affect the cost. We give a firm written estimate after measuring at your home, at no charge, and financing programs are available.
