In Carrollton the job is reviewed by the Building Inspection, and we file and follow the permit through that office ourselves. Our permit guide lists the office for every city we have checked.

What we install in Carrollton, TX
See the home exteriors and outdoor living hubs for every option.
What do Carrollton’s 1970s houses need before anything else?
A large share of the homes standing in Carrollton by 1980 went up during the 1970s. Attic insulation from that period is often thin or compressed, and original windows may be at the end of their life. We would start with what the house loses through the ceiling and glass, then move outward to siding and trim. Fixing the shell first makes every later improvement work better and keeps the new work from being undone by old leaks.
How do older Carrollton trees affect a patio cover?
Yards in neighborhoods of that age have grown trees and fence lines. The original patio and fence are often due for replacement, and the trees shape where a cover can go. Where an older oak survives on a lot, it is an asset, so its root zone is marked before any digging and its shade goes into the layout. A patio cover that leaves the tree alone feels more settled than one that clears the lot.
Is Carrollton’s Elm Fork a flood concern?
The Elm Fork of the Trinity River crosses the western edge of the city, with a timbered strip of elm, oak and willow along it. Part of Carrollton sits near floodplain, so check the maps before pouring a slab, and ask the city’s Building Inspection office what it needs. Blackland clay under the yards moves with wet and dry seasons, so a slab wants a well-prepared base. Ask for the flood map answer in writing if you can, and bring it to the first visit.
Homes in Carrollton
Almost three-quarters of the homes standing in Carrollton in 1980 had been built during the 1970s.
In neighborhoods of that age the original patio and fencing are often due for replacement, and mature trees shape where a patio cover can sensibly go.
The Elm Fork of the Trinity River crosses the western city limits, flanked by a timbered strip of elm, oak, and willow. Where an older oak survives on a lot, it is an asset: its root zone is marked before any digging, and its shade goes into the layout.

“American Eagle installed new windows, put in new siding on half our house and checked the other half to make sure it was still on good shape, replaced a garage door and front door, and added a beautiful new storm door. My son has asked for their number! They even managed to retain the Tudor effect on the siding. But my favorite is definitely the new windows! Love that we can now enjoy a breeze without worrying about pets tearing up the screens since we can now open the windows from the top! SO HAPPY with the job they did. Thank you American Eagle Builders!”

Their building staff can be trusted to effectively communicate with you throughout the phases and to do the job right the first time without cutting corners.”
