What we install in Ferris, TX
See the home exteriors and outdoor living hubs for every option.
What should a Ferris pre-war frame house get first?
Ferris is a small railroad and brick-making town, with pre-war frame homes near the old railroad grid and newer infill scattered around. Frame houses of that age depend on their exterior to keep water out. Check the base of the walls and the areas under windows for soft wood, and look at the trim joints. Where boards are tired, siding repair or replacement comes before any patio project, because a good roof over a bad wall helps nothing.
Why do older Ferris lots need an access and utility check?
Near the old railroad grid, pre-war lots bring big trees and older utility lines, while newer infill lots start closer to bare. Either way, access and the old lines get checked at the first visit. Before a patio cover goes up, find where power, water and gas run, and which tree limbs or lines overhang the work area. Old lines are better located than guessed at, and the findings may move the cover a few feet.
How does the brick clay under Ferris affect a slab?
Ferris built its economy on brick, drawing on heavy local clay that still underlies most lots. Clay holds water and moves, so a slab needs drainage that carries water away. Tenmile Creek, with limestone and black-clay banks, flows through the city limits. Clay along a creek holds water, so the slab is sloped to shed it.

“Nothing but good things to say about my experience with American Eagle Builders about how they handled the pouring of a new outdoor patio and the enclosure of our existing covered patio. Our salesman, John, was a real delight to work with as was Ashley in the front office. They worked diligently with the city of Arlington to get the building permit approved and were able to start work almost immediately once it was. Our installer, Mike, was was very methodical and took his time to make sure everything was done right. We are extremely pleased with the quality of the work--shown in the photos--and are now waiting on another contractor to put in the wood flooring. Highly recommend this company to others seeking similar work.”

“20+ years ago was the installation of siding and windows. To still be in business says a lot about a company. The way customers are treated is why. I have contacted AEB twice in that time span to have repairs done. Both times they have done fantastic work. Our siding manufacture changed and their staff was able to track down current owner, plus went above and beyond match as close as could to the original, and get the repairs accomplished.”
