Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
An insulated cover holds back roof heat on the hottest days and softens the sound of hail and rain, which matters in a county with 29 recent hail reports.
Pergolas
A pergola shades a sitting area on an open Goree lot, attached or freestanding. We size the footings and fasteners for wind across open ground.
Patio Enclosures
Screens around a covered porch keep insects from the mesquite and grass off you at night, while the breeze still comes through.
Sunrooms
A sunroom gives a 1960s house a bright glass-walled room. Knox County soils include black waxy ground, so we check the slab before planning walls on it.
All-Season Sunrooms
An all-season room is insulated in the roof, walls and glass, so it stays comfortable when the county’s January average minimum reaches 28 degrees.
What does Knox County hail mean for a Goree patio cover?
For a Goree patio cover, Knox County hail means choosing a solid, heavier roof. The county logged 29 hail reports from 2021 through 2025, 23 of them an inch or larger, and the largest stone measured 3 inches. May, April and June saw the most. An insulated roof panel stands up better than thin metal and stays quieter in a storm. No cover is hail-proof. If an existing cover gets damaged, photograph it before anything is moved and call your insurer.
Can you build on a rural Goree lot?
Yes, rural lots in Goree are a good fit for a cover, a freestanding pergola or a screened porch. The town has 62 households spread over about 1.45 square miles, so most homes have room around them. That lets you put shade where you actually sit, not only by the back door. A pergola on its own footings works well out in the yard, and an attached roof over the patio works when you want shelter right at the house. We measure the lot and walk it with you at the first visit.
Is a screened porch worth it for a Goree home?
A screened porch is worth it for a Goree home if bugs drive you inside on summer evenings. A screened-in porch under a solid roof keeps insects out and lets air move. It does not cool the space, which matters when Knox County’s average July high is 98 degrees, so the roof does the shading. If you want a room you can use in January, when the county’s average minimum is 28 degrees, glass walls or an insulated room are a better choice. Many people start with screens and add glass later.
Why does wind matter so much for a cover in Goree?
Wind matters in Goree because Knox County sees a lot of it. The NOAA Storm Events Database lists 44 thunderstorm wind reports in Knox County from 2021 through 2025, along with 4 tornado reports. A patio cover acts like a sail when gusts get under it, so the connection to the house, the post anchors and the footings decide whether it stays put. We engineer every cover for local wind and load. On an open Goree lot, ask any builder exactly how the posts are fastened to the ground.

“I had a patio cover installed. They first said the work would begin about six weeks out but to my surprise it began three weeks out. Jim was my installer and he went above and beyond to ensure I had a strong and properly supported patio cover built. Very pleased with the result and received a very favorable and fair price.”
