American Eagle Builders builds patio covers, insulated covers, pergolas, screened enclosures, sunrooms and all-season rooms for homeowners in Jayton, ZIP 79528. We are a family-owned company, in business since 1984, with our office in Arlington. A crew based near Clyde serves Jayton, about 85 miles away, so we plan each trip carefully. The first step is a free in-home estimate: we measure, check your roofline, slab and sandy soil, and leave a firm written estimate. Call (469) 949-5909 or request an estimate online.
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.

A solid patio cover shades a Jayton patio from 97-degree July sun, framed to meet a late-1960s roofline and set on footings planned for Kent County’s sandy soil.

An insulated cover cuts heat under the roof and adds a thick foam core, useful in a county where hail reached 4 inches between 2021 and 2025.

A pergola gives a Jayton yard filtered shade and keeps the wide sky in view. Louvers can close against midday sun and open again in the evening.

A screen room keeps insects and wind-blown sand off a Jayton patio while air still moves, under a solid roof that keeps it dry.

A sunroom adds a glass-walled room for spring and fall. We check the slab on Jayton’s sandy ground before framing so the walls stay plumb.

An all-season room is insulated throughout and can share your heating and cooling, ready for a 28-degree Kent County January morning.
Hail in Kent County has reached 4 inches, so a Jayton patio cover should be built with storms in mind. The NOAA Storm Events Database lists 16 hail reports in the county from 2021 through 2025, 14 of them one inch or larger, with that 4-inch stone the largest. June, April and May had the most. The county also logged 8 thunderstorm wind reports. No cover is hail-proof, but a solid roof does far better than lattice, and an insulated metal roof panel adds a thick foam core.
For Jayton summers, an insulated cover gives the most relief, because it blocks the sun completely and slows heat from radiating down. Kent County’s average July high is 97 degrees. A pergola for filtered shade keeps the open sky and suits evening use, and louvers let you close the roof at midday. Our pergola project photos show both fixed and louvered styles. At the estimate we can mark where each option’s shade falls on your patio through the afternoon, which makes the choice easier.
A Jayton home should add an all-season room for year-round use and a sunroom if spring and fall are the goal. Kent County ranges from an average January low of 28 degrees to an average July high of 97, which is a wide swing for a glass room. A three-season sunroom brings in light but is not built to hold heating or cooling. An insulated all-season room can connect to your home’s system. The slab on sandy ground gets checked first.
Yes, we build in Jayton; our crew based near Clyde is about 85 miles away, and we plan the trip around the job. Jayton has 163 households, 83 percent owner-occupied, and each project gets the same design and build process as a city job. At the free estimate, the specialist measures, checks access and lists every material, so the crew arrives with what it needs and the work runs in as few trips as possible. Our Arlington office handles the scheduling and the paperwork.
Kent County’s sand and sandy loam change footings in Jayton because sandy ground drains fast but can shift or wash out around a shallow post. Footing depth and width are set after we look at the site. The county’s rolling, broken terrain also means some lots slope, which affects drainage and post height. With 20.75 inches of rain a year, storms can still dump water quickly, so gutters and downspouts carry roof water away from the posts and the slab.
Many 1960s homes in Jayton could use new windows, siding or doors, since the median house dates to 1968. American Eagle Builders installs Andersen replacement windows, James Hardie and vinyl siding, and new entry doors along with storm and patio doors. Because the drive to Jayton is long, it makes sense to plan exterior work and a patio project on the same visit and the same written estimate. We check each opening for rot and square before recommending sizes, so the new units fit the first time.
Jayton has 163 households, and 83 percent of them own their home. With a median build year of 1968, many houses are more than fifty years old, so windows, siding and doors may be due for replacement, and a back patio may never have had a roof.
Kent County covers 878 square miles of rolling, broken terrain, part prairie and part mesquite woodland, drained by the Salt and Double Mountain forks of the Brazos River. The soils are sand and sandy loam, and elevations run from 1,900 to 2,400 feet. Average annual rainfall is 20.75 inches, with January lows near 28 degrees and July highs near 97.

Whether the city or Kent County reviews a Jayton patio cover or sunroom depends on whether the address is inside the city limits. American Eagle Builders confirms it at the estimate and files the paperwork.
Which office reviews the job depends on whether your address is inside the City of Jayton or in unincorporated Kent County. We confirm that at the estimate and file the paperwork ourselves.
Our permit guide covers the rest, including how an HOA submittal fits in.
Usually, yes, when a project adds a roof or a room. If your address is inside Jayton city limits, the city reviews it; if it is outside, Kent County does. We confirm which at the estimate and file the paperwork for you.
Size, roof type, insulated or plain panels, footings for sandy soil, and extras like fans, lights or screens all affect the cost. We do not post flat numbers. After measuring at your home, we give a firm written estimate at no charge.
Take photos of the damage and call your insurance company. Do not pay a large deposit to anyone who knocks after a storm. We can inspect the cover and give you a free written estimate. Coverage depends on your policy.
Yes. Kent County is in climate zone 3B, and ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an uninsulated attic in zone 3, or R-38 if 3 to 4 inches are already there. We can check your attic on the same visit as a patio estimate in Jayton.
