Patio Covers
A solid patio cover shades the slab from Hunt County’s July sun and sheds rain away from the back door. On a home built around 1985, we tie it to the roofline only after checking the fascia and framing.

Outdoor living options for Caddo Mills homes
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
Insulated roof panels keep the patio noticeably cooler on a 93-degree July afternoon and quiet the drum of spring storms. They also give you a finished ceiling if you screen or glass in the space later.
Pergolas
A pergola gives filtered shade over a smaller Caddo Mills patio or a spot out in the yard. Louvered tops let you open it to winter sun and close it when a summer afternoon gets hot.
Patio Enclosures
A screened enclosure keeps mosquitoes and wasps out while the evening breeze still gets through. In a county that averages 43 inches of rain a year, insects are often what drives people back inside.
Sunrooms
A sunroom adds a glass-walled room on the back of the house. On blackland clay, the slab and footings are checked before any walls go up, so the room and the house move together.
All-Season Sunrooms
An all-season room is insulated in the walls, roof and glass, so it stays usable on a 33-degree January morning. It can tie into the home’s heating and cooling for year-round use.
Which outdoor upgrade fits a Caddo Mills home built around 1985?
For most Caddo Mills homes, a solid or insulated patio cover is the best first step, because it solves sun and rain before anything else. The median home in town was built in 1985, so many back patios are plain slabs poured with the house and never covered. An insulated patio cover also sets you up to add screens or glass later without rebuilding the roof. If you want a real room now, compare a glass sunroom with a screened space at the estimate. We bring samples and show how each option meets your roofline, so you can see the difference before choosing.
Can a patio cover in Caddo Mills handle Hunt County hail?
A well-anchored solid cover handles hail in Caddo Mills better than an open frame, though no roof is hail-proof. The NOAA Storm Events Database lists 35 hail reports in Hunt County from 2021 through 2025, 31 of them an inch or larger, and the biggest stone measured 2.5 inches. June, May and April had the most reports. The same county records show 18 thunderstorm wind reports and 2 tornadoes. That is why our patio cover options are engineered and permitted for local wind and load. Ask any builder how the posts are anchored and how the roof is fastened at the wall.
Does blackland soil in Caddo Mills change how a patio cover is built?
Yes, blackland soil in Caddo Mills changes how the posts and footings are planned. Hunt County sits in the Blackland Prairie, and its upland soils are loamy or clayey and loamy, with clay in the bottoms. Clay swells after a wet spring and shrinks in a dry summer, and a cover fastened to the house has to tolerate that movement. We look at the existing slab for cracks and settling, decide whether new footings are needed, and plan the gutter so roof water drains away from the foundation. With 43 inches of rain a year in the county, that drainage detail matters more than most people expect.
How far does the crew travel to Caddo Mills, and how is a visit set up?
The crew that serves Caddo Mills is based near Garland, about 26 miles away, so a job in the 75135 ZIP code is ordinary work for us. You call or book online, and we set a time when everyone who will make the decision can be home. The specialist measures the patio, checks the roofline and slab, and walks you through the options. You get a written estimate before anyone leaves. If you want to see finished work first, our project photo gallery shows covers, pergolas and rooms from past projects.
Is the attic in a Caddo Mills house worth insulating while you remodel?
Often yes, because a Caddo Mills home built around 1985 may still have the attic insulation it was built with, and loose fill settles over time. Hunt County is in climate zone 3A, where ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an uninsulated attic, or R-38 if 3 to 4 inches are already in place. We install blown-in attic insulation where the layer is thin and check for gaps around lights and the attic hatch. A new insulated patio roof also shades the back wall, so the two jobs work together on summer cooling.

Questions from Caddo Mills homeowners
Usually, yes, for a new roof or an enclosed room. If your address is inside Caddo Mills city limits the city handles it, and if it is outside, the job goes through Hunt County. American Eagle Builders confirms which applies during your free estimate and files the paperwork, so you do not have to sort it out yourself.
Size, roof type, whether the cover is insulated, the condition of your slab and footings, and extras such as fans, lights or screens. We do not publish flat numbers because every patio is different. A specialist measures at a free in-home visit and gives you a firm written estimate, and financing programs are available.
Photograph the damage from several angles and call your insurance company before you sign anything. Coverage depends on your policy. Never hand a large deposit to someone knocking on the door after a storm. We can inspect the structure and give you a free written estimate for repair or replacement.
Often it can, if the posts, beam and roof are sound and the slab is level enough to seal the bottom track. We check those points at the estimate. If the old cover is too weak to carry screen walls, we will tell you and explain the options, including an insulated cover built to be enclosed.

What DFW homeowners say
Reproduced word for word. Rated 4.4 on Google from 206 reviews.
“I had a patio cover installed. They first said the work would begin about six weeks out but to my surprise it began three weeks out. Jim was my installer and he went above and beyond to ensure I had a strong and properly supported patio cover built. Very pleased with the result and received a very favorable and fair price.”
