What we build in De Leon
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
Insulated panels keep heat off the patio on a 95-degree July afternoon, the county average high, and give you a finished ceiling ready for a fan.
Pergolas
A pergola provides lighter shade and an open frame. On Comanche County’s sandy northern soils or dark waxy southern soils, we size footings for the ground.
Patio Enclosures
Screens give you a bug-free place to sit at dusk. An existing De Leon cover can often be screened in if its posts, beams and slab are sound.
Sunrooms
A sunroom puts glass walls under a solid roof. On a slab poured decades ago, we check for cracks and settling before walls go up.
All-Season Sunrooms
An all-season room is insulated and can share your HVAC, so it is usable on a 32-degree January night as well as in midsummer.
Which patio project should a De Leon homeowner start with?
Most De Leon homeowners should start with a solid or insulated patio cover, because shade is what an older back patio usually lacks. The median home here was built in 1965, and many still have a bare slab or an aging aluminum awning. A solid patio cover gives shade and a dry place to sit, and it can carry screens or glass later. If you already have a sound cover, screening it in or enclosing it as a sunroom may be the better next step. We show each option on one written estimate.
Is a sunroom or an all-season room right for De Leon’s winters and summers?
In De Leon, an all-season room is right if you want year-round use, and a sunroom suits spring and fall. Comanche County averages a January low of 32 degrees and a July high of 95. A three-season sunroom has glass walls and a roof but runs hot in summer and cool in winter. An all-season room uses insulated walls, roof and glazing and can be heated and cooled with the house. On a 1965 home, we also check whether the existing system can carry an added room.
How much attic insulation does a De Leon home built around 1965 need?
A De Leon home built around 1965 often needs more attic insulation to meet current guidance. ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an uninsulated attic in climate zone 3, or R-38 if 3 to 4 inches are already there, and Comanche County is in zone 3A. We install blown-in insulation for thin attics and a radiant barrier to cut summer heat under the roof. We measure the depth you have before recommending anything. Better attic insulation also helps if you later add an all-season room that shares the same heating and cooling.
What ground conditions affect footings in De Leon?
Footings in De Leon depend on which soil the house sits on, because Comanche County has two quite different types. The northern county is in the Western Cross Timbers, with light sandy and loamy soils that drain well but can let shallow posts shift. The southern county sits on the edge of the Grand Prairie, with dark waxy and dark loam soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry. The North and South Leon rivers drain the county. We check your ground in person and size footings to match.
How does a De Leon project go from estimate to final inspection?
A De Leon project goes from a free estimate visit to approval, permit filing, the build and a final inspection. The specialist measures and checks the slab, roof and drainage, then hands you a written estimate. After you approve, we confirm whether the city or Comanche County reviews the permit and file it. The crew based near Clyde, about 60 miles away, plans the build in full working days. Where an inspection is required, we schedule it and walk the finished work with you.

Sunrooms
Sunroom vs Enclosed Porch: What Actually Differs
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.
Patio Covers
Patio Cover Materials: Wood, Metal or Insulated?
A patio is not only wood. Compare the frames and roofs available for a Texas cover, what each one asks of you, and which one to skip if you hate upkeep.
Sunrooms
Can You Add a Sunroom to Any House in Texas?
Most houses can take a sunroom, but seven checks decide whether yours is ready, needs work first, or should skip the idea.
