Patio Covers
A solid cover gives a Clyde patio shade from a 96-degree July sun and protection from spring storms. We attach it to a 1970s roofline only after checking the fascia and rafters.

Patio covers and outdoor rooms in Clyde
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
Insulated panels cut heat through the roof and make hail much quieter underneath. In a county that logged 36 hail reports of an inch or more from 2021 through 2025, that matters.
Pergolas
A pergola marks out a seating area and gives partial shade. Louvered tops let Clyde homeowners open the roof on a mild evening and close it against the afternoon sun.
Patio Enclosures
A screened enclosure keeps out flies and mosquitoes, especially after spring rain. Under a solid roof it becomes a dry, open-air room you can use from spring well into fall.
Sunrooms
A sunroom adds a glass-walled room with plenty of light. We check that the slab is level and stable on Callahan County’s loamy soil and clayey subsoil before building walls.
All-Season Sunrooms
An all-season room is insulated throughout and can share the home’s heating and cooling, so it stays usable on a 31-degree January morning or a snowy day.
Which outdoor upgrade suits a Clyde home best?
For most Clyde homes, an insulated patio cover is the upgrade that pays off first, because it handles both the summer sun and spring hail. Callahan County’s average July high is 96 degrees, and the county logged 39 hail reports from 2021 through 2025. An insulated cover keeps the patio cooler and gives you a base for screens or glass later. If you already know you want a room, compare a sunroom addition with an all-season room at the estimate. We bring samples so you can see the panels and frames.
How do Callahan County soils affect footings in Clyde?
Callahan County soils affect footings in Clyde because the loamy topsoil sits over clayey to loamy subsoil, and clay changes volume as it wets and dries. With only 25 inches of rain a year, the ground can be dry for long stretches and then soak up a heavy spring storm. We check the existing slab for cracks and level, set post footings where the slab cannot carry the load, and route roof water away from the foundation. Getting this right at the start keeps the cover and the house moving together.
Will a Clyde patio cover survive large hail?
A Clyde patio cover can survive large hail better if it is built with a strong frame and solid panels, though no roof is hail-proof. The NOAA Storm Events Database lists Callahan County hail up to 3.25 inches from 2021 through 2025, with 36 of 39 reports at an inch or larger and April the busiest month. The county also had 12 thunderstorm wind reports. We build to local wind and load rules and anchor posts to proper footings. Ask any builder what the roof panels are made of and how they are fastened.
Do Clyde homes built around 1972 need new windows and doors?
Many Clyde homes built around 1972 are due for new windows and doors, especially if they still have the original aluminum frames or a sliding door that sticks. With 75 percent of homes owner-occupied, most families plan to stay and want the house to hold heat and cool air better. We install Andersen windows and sliding patio doors, and we check the frame first so a new door is not hung in an opening that is out of square. If a window or door is fine, we leave it.
Is it worth adding attic insulation to a Clyde house?
It is often worth adding attic insulation to a Clyde house, because many homes from the early 1970s may have far less than today’s guidance. Callahan 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. We install blown-in insulation and radiant barrier for attics that bake in July. The check takes a few minutes during the patio visit, and if your attic is already in good shape, we tell you so and move on.
How does a Clyde project go from estimate to final inspection?
A Clyde project goes from a free estimate, to drawings and a permit, to the build and a final inspection. Because our crew is based in Clyde, about 2 miles from most homes in town, scheduling the visit and the work is simple. After you approve the written estimate, we confirm whether the city or Callahan County reviews the permit and file it. The crew sets footings, frames the structure and installs the roof. Once the inspection passes, we walk the job with you. Read more on our permit page.

Clyde in brief
Clyde has 1,283 households, three out of four of them owner-occupied, and the median home was built in 1972. Houses of that age may still have aluminum windows, older patio doors and siding that has seen fifty West Texas summers. Those are natural to plan alongside a cover or sunroom.
Clyde sits in Callahan County, in the Rolling Plains, where the Callahan Divide separates the Brazos River basin to the north from the Colorado River basin to the south. Soils are mostly loamy with clayey to loamy subsoils. The county averages 25 inches of rain a year, a January low of 31 degrees and a July high of 96.

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.”
