What we build for Gordon back yards
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
Insulated roof panels keep a Gordon patio cooler under summer sun and quieter in a hard rain, with a finished ceiling underneath. They also make a sound base if you plan to add screens later.
Pergolas
A pergola gives filtered shade and an open look over a deck or slab. On a sloped Gordon yard we plan the posts and footings around the grade instead of forcing a kit to fit.
Patio Enclosures
Screens let you sit out on a warm Gordon evening without bugs, leaves or blowing grit, while the breeze still moves through. Most go under a solid or insulated roof.
Sunrooms
A glass-walled room under a solid roof, set on a slab we check first. It turns a 1960s back porch into a bright room you can use through spring and fall.
All-Season Sunrooms
Fully insulated walls, roof and glass, with the option to connect heating and cooling. Built for a January morning near 33 degrees as well as a July afternoon in the mid-90s.
Which outdoor project makes the most sense for a Gordon home?
For most Gordon homes, a solid patio cover is the first project that makes sense, and a screen room or sunroom can follow. The median house in town was built in 1965, so the patio slab is often older and smaller than people want today. A cover gives shade and rain shelter right away. A screened enclosure adds evenings without bugs, and a sunroom adds a real room. Because 78 percent of Gordon homes are owner-occupied, many families plan in steps, starting with the roof and adding walls later. We can show you each option at the same visit.
Will a patio cover in Gordon stand up to hail and wind?
A well-anchored solid cover in Gordon holds up better than an open frame, but no roof is hail-proof. The NOAA Storm Events Database lists 30 hail reports in Palo Pinto County from 2021 through 2025, 28 of them an inch or larger, with stones up to 2.5 inches. The same county records show 23 thunderstorm wind reports and 7 tornado reports. May, March and April had the most hail. That is why our patio covers are engineered and permitted for local wind and load, with the posts set into proper footings. Ask any builder how the roof is fastened to the house.
Does the ground in Gordon change how a cover or sunroom is built?
Yes, the ground in Gordon matters, mostly because Palo Pinto County is broken, hilly land with sandy, gray and black soils. A back yard that slopes away from the house may need taller posts on the low side or a step-down slab. Sandy ground drains well but can wash out under a slab edge, and darker soils hold more water after a storm. With about 30 inches of rain a year in the county, we also plan where the new roof sheds water so it does not pool against your foundation. For a glass all-season room, we check the slab before any walls go up.
Do older Gordon homes need new windows, siding or doors?
Many Gordon homes are due for new windows, siding or doors, because the median house in town was built in 1965 and those parts wear out long before the frame does. Single-pane glass and loose sashes let summer heat in. Old siding can crack or let water behind it. American Eagle Builders installs Andersen replacement windows and James Hardie fiber cement siding, and we look at the frame before recommending a new front door. If you are adding a patio cover anyway, it is a good time to look at the wall it attaches to.
How far does your crew travel to Gordon, and how do you schedule a visit?
A crew based in Fort Worth serves Gordon, about 62 miles away, so we set the visit on a day and at a time that suit you rather than squeezing in a quick stop. The specialist measures the patio, looks at the roofline and the slope of the yard, and talks through covers, screens and glass with you at the kitchen table. You get a written estimate before anyone leaves. If the job needs a permit, we confirm which office handles your address in ZIP code 76453 and take care of the paperwork from there.

Gordon, TX by the numbers
Gordon has 197 households, and 78 percent of its homes are owner-occupied. The median home was built in 1965, so many houses may still have older windows, worn siding and a patio slab poured long before anyone planned a roof over it. That age is worth checking before a new cover is tied to the house.
Palo Pinto County is broken, hilly land in north central Texas with sandy, gray and black soils, and elevations from 800 to 1,450 feet. The Brazos River drains the county, and average rainfall is 30.13 inches a year.

Gordon patio cover and sunroom questions
Often, yes. If the cover in Gordon is solid, square and fastened well to the house, screens can usually be added to it. If it is an older or lightly built frame, a new insulated cover may be the better base. A specialist checks the posts, beams and slab at a free estimate and tells you which way makes sense.
Size, roof type, insulation, the height of the posts on a sloped yard, and extras such as fans, lights or screens drive the cost. A slab from the 1960s may need work too. We do not post flat numbers. A specialist measures your Gordon patio and gives you a firm written estimate, and financing programs are available.
Usually, yes, because a sunroom adds a roof and new living space. Whether the city or Palo Pinto County reviews it depends on whether the Gordon address is inside the city limits. American Eagle Builders confirms that at the estimate and files the paperwork for you.
