Is a screened patio enclosure worth it in Bonham?

A screened enclosure is worth it in Bonham if insects are what keep you indoors. A patio enclosure keeps out mosquitoes, pollen and windblown debris while the space stays open to the breeze. What it will not do is cool the air, so most sit under a solid or insulated roof. If you want the room for a cold snap or a humid July, look at a sunroom or all-season room instead. Fannin County’s average July high is 94 degrees and its average January low is 33.

Will a patio cover hold up to storms in Bonham?

A well-built solid cover handles Bonham’s storms better than an open frame, but no cover is hail-proof. NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 37 hail reports in Fannin County from 2021 through 2025, 36 of them one inch or larger, with a largest size of 2 inches. It also lists 38 thunderstorm wind reports and 6 tornado reports. Most of the hail, 31 of the 37 reports, came from March through May. Our patio covers are engineered and permitted for local wind and load, so ask any builder how the structure is anchored.

Which patio upgrade makes the most sense in Bonham?

A screened enclosure or a covered patio usually makes the most sense in Bonham, because rain, humidity and insects limit outdoor time more than anything else. Mosquitoes in North Texas are active from roughly March through November, so screens can give you the evenings back. A cover gives you shade and shelter, and a sunroom gives you a real room. American Eagle Builders builds all of them, so you can compare them at a free estimate.

How does Blackland clay change a patio cover or sunroom in Bonham?

Blackland clay changes how the footings and slab need to be planned. Bonham sits on the northern edge of the Blackland Prairie, and Fannin County’s soils are mainly blackland clay, with a claypan area in the north near the Red River. Clay swells in a wet spring and shrinks in a dry summer, and a structure tied to the house has to live with that movement. With a little over 43 inches of rain a year in the county, roof water matters too. Ask how the footings are set, how the cover meets the wall and where the water will go.

Do you also fix sticking doors in Bonham?

Doors often stick in Bonham because the ground moves. Fannin County’s soils are mainly blackland clay, with a claypan area in the north near the Red River, and clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That movement can pull a frame out of square. A new door fixes the problem only if the opening is checked and corrected first, which is why American Eagle Builders looks at the frame before recommending a new entry door or sliding patio door. If the frame is sound, we will say so.

Do you also replace windows and siding in Bonham?

Yes. American Eagle Builders installs Andersen replacement windows, plus James Hardie fiber cement, insulated vinyl and standard vinyl siding. Bonham falls in the South-Central zone on the ENERGY STAR map, where a certified window needs a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.23 or lower and a U-factor of 0.28 or lower.

Do you also install attic insulation in Bonham?

Yes. ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an uninsulated attic in climate zone 3, or R-38 if there are already 3 to 4 inches, and Fannin County is in zone 3A, a warm, humid climate. American Eagle Builders installs blown-in insulation for an attic that is simply thin and spray foam where air leaks are the real problem.
