Patio Covers
On a Celeste house built around 1972, a new patio cover is often attached to an older roofline. We inspect the rafters and fascia first, then build a cover that sheds rain and gives steady shade.

Patio and sunroom choices in Celeste
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
Insulated panels keep heat off the patio and give a clean, finished ceiling with room for a fan and lights. They make sense if you might enclose the space down the road.
Pergolas
A freestanding or attached pergola adds shade without closing in an older home’s back windows. Adjustable louvers let more light reach the house in winter and less in July.
Patio Enclosures
Screen walls keep insects out of the patio while keeping the open-air feel. In Hunt County’s humid summers, a screened space is often where Celeste families end up spending their evenings.
Sunrooms
A sunroom gives you a bright room for plants, reading or a breakfast table. We set it on a slab and footings checked for Hunt County clay so the glass walls stay square.
All-Season Sunrooms
An all-season room adds insulated walls, roof and glazing, so it stays comfortable in a January cold snap, when the county average low is 33 degrees, and through a 93-degree July.
Should a Celeste homeowner pick a sunroom or an all-season room?
In Celeste, pick an all-season room if you want to use the space every month, and a sunroom if spring and fall matter most. Hunt County averages a January low of 33 degrees and a July high of 93, and a standard sunroom will feel both extremes. An all-season sunroom has insulated walls, roof and glass and can connect to the home’s heating and cooling. A three-season sunroom is a simpler build and suits a plant room or a bright sitting area. We set the two side by side at the estimate so you can compare them on your own patio.
What do Celeste homes built around 1972 need besides a patio?
Many Celeste homes built around 1972 need updated windows, entry doors and siding along with any patio work. With 75 percent of homes owner-occupied, most families plan to stay, and a coordinated exterior plan avoids redoing trim twice. We install Andersen windows, entry doors and siding, and we look at the back door and wall before attaching a cover. A sliding door that drags or leaks often comes up at the same visit. If something is still sound, we say so and leave it alone, because there is no point replacing what works.
Are Celeste patio covers at risk from spring and early summer hail?
Yes, Celeste patio covers face real hail risk, mostly from April through June. Records in the NOAA Storm Events Database show 35 Hunt County hail reports from 2021 through 2025, with June, May and April the busiest months and stones up to 2.5 inches. The county also logged 18 thunderstorm wind reports in that span. A solid roof on a properly anchored frame holds up far better than a thin kit cover or an open lattice. We engineer covers for local wind and load and show you how the posts tie into their footings.
How do Hunt County soils affect a Celeste sunroom slab?
Hunt County soils affect a Celeste sunroom because clay moves, and glass walls do not tolerate much movement. The county’s uplands are loamy or clayey and loamy, and its bottomlands are clay. An older slab may already have settled or cracked, so we check it with a level and decide whether it can carry walls or needs new footings. Roof drainage is planned at the same visit, since 43 inches of county rainfall a year needs somewhere to go besides the foundation. You can see finished rooms in our sunroom photos.
When can the crew get to Celeste?
The crew that serves Celeste is based near Bonham, about 22 miles away, so reaching the 75423 ZIP code is routine for us. We set the free estimate at a time that suits your household. Once you approve the written estimate, we file the permit, order materials and give you an install date. On the day, the crew arrives with what the job needs and cleans up before leaving. You can also ask about financing options at the visit, so the numbers are clear before work is scheduled.

Celeste quick facts
Of the 305 households in Celeste, 75 percent own their home. Half the houses were built before 1972, so older windows, worn entry doors and aging siding are common questions. Those upgrades pair well with a new cover out back, since the trim and colors can be planned together.
Celeste is in Hunt County, which covers 840 square miles of the Blackland Prairie with rounded drainage divides and shallow stream valleys.

Celeste outdoor living questions
Yes, a sunroom or roofed cover usually needs a permit. The city or Hunt County reviews it, depending on where your Celeste address sits: inside the city limits or outside them. We confirm that at the estimate, draw the plans and file the paperwork on your behalf.
The size, the roof and wall system, insulation, the condition of the existing slab, any new footings, and extras like fans, lights and doors. We do not list numbers online. A specialist measures your home at no charge and gives a firm written estimate, so you know the figure before you decide.
Often, yes. If the posts and beam are solid and the slab is level enough to seal the bottom, we can add screen walls and a door. If the old cover is too weak, we explain why and show you a new cover designed to carry screens.
Take dated photos, contact your insurer, and do not pay a big deposit to anyone who shows up at the door after a storm. What is covered depends on your policy. American Eagle Builders can inspect the cover and give you a free written estimate for the repair or a replacement.

“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.”
