How much room does a deeper DeSoto lot give a sunroom?
DeSoto grew as a Dallas commuter suburb from the 1960s through the 1990s, and its lots tend to run deeper than those in older inner suburbs. That depth is the useful part. A sunroom and a patio cover do not have to compete for the same wall, so each can sit where it gets the light, the view and the shade it needs. Plan them as a pair on one drawing, even if only one is built this year.
Which DeSoto yards need the original patio replaced?
Yards here are usually established, with grown trees and an original patio. After decades, that slab may be cracked, tilted or simply too small for a cover. Check that it still drains away from the house before building on it. Houses from those years also deserve a look at their windows: seals, frames and sills. If the glass is going to be replaced, doing it before the patio work keeps the finished exterior consistent.
Do DeSoto lots near Ten Mile Creek need a flood check?
Ten Mile Creek runs through DeSoto. The land also rises toward the Cedar Hill escarpment on the west side of the city, so a yard there may slope. A sloped yard changes how the footings and drainage are laid out. It also changes how a patio cover meets the back of the house, so the slope is measured before any drawing is final.
Homes in DeSoto
DeSoto grew as a Dallas commuter suburb from the 1960s through the 1990s.
DeSoto yards are usually established, with grown trees and an original patio, but the deeper lots leave more room than in older inner suburbs to set a patio cover and a sunroom well apart.
Ten Mile Creek runs through the city. Near a creek or river it is worth checking the flood maps early, before a patio slab is placed.

“First of all I would like to thank Phil Ehinger for coming out to our home and going over the details of the work this company would be doing per our request. Both the Patio Cover and the Door Installation contractors were great. They were very professional and answered any questions we had regarding the work they were doing. They cleaned up after themselves and made sure our dogs would not step on anything that would hurt them. We have already had a couple of neighbors ask about your company doing windows and have referred them to give you guys a call. We will most likely call again later about doing the rest of the windows in our home. P.S. Our kids and grandkids love coming to visit us with this new outdoor patio area.”

“I was so concerned about how the new windows were going to replace the old ones. But when the men got here, they made me feel assured that everything was going to work out. And it did, they were great, covered everything and cleaned it all up. Then they even put my things back on the shelves. I never expected that. So don't worry they know what they're doing and do a great job. You will be happy with their work. To top it off they were friendly and respectful.”
