A solid cover shades the patio from Stephens County’s 98-degree average July high and keeps rain off the slab. We size posts and footings for an open rural setting.

Insulated roof panels keep the space cooler and quieter in a storm. Every Stephens County hail report from 2021 through 2025 was an inch or larger, so panel strength matters.

A pergola gives filtered shade and a defined seating area without closing in the view. Louvers let you adjust the shade as the sun moves across a Caddo yard.

A screened enclosure keeps out flies and mosquitoes on warm evenings. Under a solid roof, it stays dry when a spring storm crosses the plateau.

A sunroom adds a bright room with glass walls. Stephens County’s reddish clay subsoils can move with moisture, so we check the slab and footings before building.

An all-season room has insulated walls, roof and glass and can share the home’s heating and cooling, staying comfortable on a 31-degree January morning.
On a rural lot near Caddo, wind exposure, sun direction and drainage matter most. Stephens County is broken, hilly plateau country, so a home may sit on a slope or a rise where wind hits the patio directly. We size posts and footings to local wind and load rules, face the cover to block the afternoon sun and plan where roof water will run. A well-anchored patio cover built for that setting holds up better and keeps water away from the foundation.
Hail is a serious concern for a Caddo patio cover, because Stephens County storms tend to bring big stones. The NOAA Storm Events Database lists 19 county hail reports from 2021 through 2025, all of them an inch or larger, with a top size of 2.75 inches. April, May and June were the busiest months. The county also had 8 thunderstorm wind reports. An insulated roof panel on a solid frame resists dents better than thin metal and is quieter when hail falls.
A Caddo home should add an all-season room if you want to use it in every month, and a sunroom if mild seasons are the priority. Stephens County ranges from a 31-degree January low to a 98-degree July high, and a standard sunroom feels both. An all-season room addition has insulated walls, roof and glass and can tie into your heating and cooling. A sunroom with glass walls is a simpler build that works well as a plant room or sitting area.
Stephens County soils affect footings near Caddo because loamy topsoil covers deep reddish, clayey or mottled subsoil, and clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. On sloped ground, water can also run toward the house during a storm. We check your slab for cracks and level, plan footings for each post where needed and route roof water away from the foundation. With 26.4 inches of rain a year, dry spells and heavy storms both put the ground through changes.
The crew that handles Stephens County works out of the Clyde area, so a Caddo job is planned in full working blocks rather than short trips. You start with a free estimate, where we measure, check the house and slab and give you a written number. Once you approve it, we confirm which permit applies to your address, file it, order materials and set a start date. The crew builds, cleans up and walks the finished work with you. Our photo gallery shows past projects.
Census figures are not published for Caddo, so we size up each home in person: the age and condition of the roofline, the slab and the doors that open onto the patio. That visit decides whether a cover can attach to the house or should stand on its own posts.
Stephens County covers almost 922 square miles of broken, hilly plateau at 1,000 to 1,600 feet, with summits such as Gunsight Mountain, Double Mountain and Evans Peak. The Clear Fork of the Brazos drains the county. Rainfall averages 26.4 inches a year, with a January low of 31 degrees and a July high of 98.

“American Eagle Builders designed and built a pergola over my back patio. It is beautifully done. Jim Sutton, the builder, did an incredible job. Materials and craftsmanship are both top-notch. I absolutely love it!”
Practical notes on outdoor living in North Texas.

A patio to sunroom conversion starts with three checks: the slab, the cover and the house wall. Here is how to run them and what the steps look like.

How glass-wall and all-season sunrooms differ, where screen rooms and glass roofs fit, and four questions that pick the right one.

An enclosed porch starts with a porch you already have. A sunroom is built as a room. What differs is the floor, roof, walls and use, and what to check first.
