Patio Covers
A solid roof over the slab, tied into the house and anchored for open-country wind. In a county where hail has measured 3 inches, a covered patio also shelters chairs and furniture from the worst of it.

What we build for Burkett patios
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
Foam-core roof panels keep the patio cooler under a 96-degree July sun, the county’s average high, and give you a finished ceiling ready for fans and lights.
Pergolas
An open frame for filtered shade where you still want some sky. On a Burkett lot with room to spread out, a pergola can set off a sitting area without closing in the view.
Patio Enclosures
Screen walls under a roof keep flying insects and blown leaves off the patio while the evening breeze still comes through. A practical choice for a rural lot surrounded by brush and pasture.
Sunrooms
Glass walls under a solid roof make a bright room most of the year. We check the slab and footings first, since the ground across Coleman County’s rolling hills changes from lot to lot.
All-Season Sunrooms
Insulated walls, roof and glass for a room you can use when January lows drop to 34 degrees and July highs reach 96. It can tie into the home’s heating and cooling.
Should a Burkett home start with a patio cover or a screen room?
Most Burkett homes are best served by starting with a solid patio cover, because shade and storm shelter are the first things an open slab lacks. Coleman County’s average July high is 96 degrees, and a bare patio in that sun sits empty all afternoon. Once a roof is up, screen walls can be added later if insects turn out to be the bigger problem. If you already know you want a room you can sit in through the winter, say so at the estimate, because footings for glass walls are planned differently from the posts of a simple cover.
Does a country lot near Burkett change how a patio is planned?
Yes, a Burkett lot usually needs more planning for wind, sun angle and drainage than a city yard, because it is open on more sides. Coleman County is rolling mesquite and oak country between 1,500 and 2,250 feet, and the ground under one house can differ from the next. We look at where roof water will land, which side the afternoon sun hits and whether the slab can carry posts or needs new footings. A freestanding pergola is an option when the sitting area is away from the house.
How hard does hail hit around Burkett?
Hail is a real design load for a Burkett patio. The NOAA Storm Events Database lists 50 hail reports in Coleman County from 2021 through 2025, 48 of them an inch or larger, and the largest stone measured 3 inches. May, June and April saw the most. No patio roof is hail-proof, but a solid or insulated roof holds up far better than fabric or thin panels, and a well-anchored frame resists the wind that comes with those storms. The same county records show 14 thunderstorm wind reports and one tornado report over those five years.
How far does your crew travel to reach Burkett?
A crew based near Clyde serves Burkett, roughly 31 miles away, so an estimate visit does not mean a trip out from Arlington. When you call (469) 949-5909 or book online, we set a time that suits you and send someone to measure the patio, look at the roofline and photograph the slab. You get a written estimate before anyone leaves. If you go ahead, the Arlington office handles permits, materials and the schedule. Browse the project gallery before the visit and point out the styles you like.
Do you also replace windows, siding or attic insulation in Burkett?
Yes, American Eagle Builders also handles windows, siding and attic insulation for Burkett homes, often as a second project after the patio. We install Andersen replacement windows and James Hardie fiber cement siding. Coleman County is in climate zone 3B, and ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an uninsulated attic in zone 3, or R-38 if 3 to 4 inches are already there. A thin attic makes every room harder to cool in a 96-degree July, so ask us to check it during the same visit.

Burkett, TX in brief
There is no separate census count for Burkett, ZIP 76828, so we do not guess at the age of its houses. At the estimate we look at the existing windows, siding and doors along with the patio, because an older wall or frame changes how a new cover attaches.
Coleman County sits in the transition between the Edwards Plateau and the Rolling Plains, with rolling hills of mesquite brush and oaks between 1,500 and 2,250 feet. Jim Ned and Hords creeks drain the northern half of the county and the Colorado River drains the southern half. The county averages 26.82 inches of rain a year.

Do you need a permit in Burkett?
Whether a Burkett project is reviewed by a city or by Coleman County depends on whether the address sits inside city limits; unincorporated property goes through the county. We confirm which applies at the estimate and file the paperwork.
Which office reviews the job depends on whether your address is inside the City of Burkett or in unincorporated Coleman 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.
Questions from Burkett homeowners
It depends on where the address falls. Property inside city limits goes through the city, and property outside them goes through Coleman County. American Eagle Builders checks which one applies to your Burkett lot during the free estimate and files the paperwork, so you do not have to track it down.
Size, roof type, whether the slab can carry posts or needs new footings, and extras like fans, lights or screens. We do not post flat numbers because no two patios match. A free in-home visit in ZIP 76828 ends with a firm written estimate, and financing programs are available.
Photograph the damage from several angles and call your insurance company before anything is torn down. Coverage depends on your policy. Be careful with anyone at the door asking for a large deposit. American Eagle Builders can look over the structure and give you a free written estimate for repair or replacement.
Usually, yes. If the roof and posts are sound, screen walls can be framed in under an existing cover, and an insulated roof makes the best base because it keeps the enclosed space cooler. We check the posts and the slab edge at the estimate to see whether your cover is ready for screens.
