Patio Covers
A solid cover gives a Commerce patio real shade and keeps rain off the slab. For a house built around 1975, we check the existing fascia and rafters before tying anything to them.

Covers and rooms for Commerce homes
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
Insulated roof panels block more heat than a plain metal roof and come with a finished ceiling. Owners of Commerce rentals like them because they hold up and look clean for years.
Pergolas
A pergola marks out a seating area and softens the sun without enclosing anything. With louvers, you can close it on a hot afternoon and open it on a mild spring evening.
Patio Enclosures
Screen walls turn a covered slab into a bug-free porch. In a county with 43 inches of yearly rain and humid summers, it is often the upgrade people use most.
Sunrooms
A sunroom adds bright, glass-walled space without a full addition. Hunt County clay can shift an older slab, so we check it before setting the walls.
All-Season Sunrooms
An all-season room is insulated top to bottom and can share the home’s heating and cooling. It handles Hunt County’s 33-degree January lows and 93-degree July highs.
Which patio project makes sense for a Commerce home?
For a Commerce home, the project that makes sense depends on if you live there or rent it out. With 40 percent of homes owner-occupied, we see both. Owners living in the house often pick a screened porch enclosure or an insulated cover for evenings outside. Rental owners usually want a durable solid cover that adds shade and keeps the back door dry. Either way, the free estimate covers size, roof type and how the structure meets the house, and you get a firm written number to compare against your plans.
Will an insulated cover or a pergola keep a Commerce patio cooler?
An insulated cover keeps a Commerce patio cooler than a pergola, because it shades the whole slab and stops heat from radiating down through the roof. Hunt County’s average July high is 93 degrees. A foam-core insulated cover can also take a ceiling fan, which helps on still evenings. A pergola is the better pick if you want filtered light, some winter sun and an open look. Some Commerce families use both: an insulated roof by the house and a pergola farther out in the yard.
What do Commerce houses built around 1975 usually need?
Commerce houses built around 1975 usually need some mix of new windows, a better back door and siding repair. The median home in town is about 50 years old, and original frames and weatherstripping wear out long before the walls do. We install Andersen replacement windows, sliding patio doors and insulated vinyl siding. When a patio cover is part of the plan, replacing the door first means the new roof and the new opening line up. If the siding behind the patio is sound, we leave it and say so.
How much hail and wind does a Commerce patio cover face?
A Commerce patio cover faces regular spring and early summer storms. Hunt County had 35 hail reports from 2021 through 2025 in the NOAA Storm Events Database, and 31 of those were an inch or larger. The biggest hail recorded was 2.5 inches, and June, May and April had the most reports. Wind is part of it too, with 18 thunderstorm wind reports in the county over the same years. A cover built to local wind and load requirements, with solid posts and proper footings, gives you the best chance of riding out a storm.
How does a Commerce project run from estimate to final inspection?
A Commerce project starts with a free in-home estimate and ends with a final inspection and a walkthrough with you. In between, we draw plans, confirm whether the city or Hunt County handles the permit, and file it. The crew based near Bonham, about 28 miles away, sets footings, builds the frame and installs the roof, then cleans up the site. If the job includes windows or doors, those are scheduled so the house is never left open overnight. You can look at past work in our photo gallery before you decide.

Commerce at a glance
Commerce has 3,046 households, and 40 percent of its homes are owner-occupied. The median home was built in 1975. At that age, original windows, sliding patio doors and siding are often past their best, and a cover or screen room is easier to plan alongside them.
