What we build for Mereta properties
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
An insulated roof blocks heat from a 97-degree July and stands up to hail better than thin panels, with a finished ceiling underneath.
Pergolas
A pergola gives a shaded sitting area with an open sky, best suited to a patio used in the morning or after sunset.
Patio Enclosures
Screen walls under a solid roof keep insects and blowing dust off a Mereta patio while the breeze still passes through.
Sunrooms
A sunroom adds a glass-walled room for spring and fall. We check the slab first, since stony clays and silty clay loams vary from lot to lot.
All-Season Sunrooms
An all-season room is insulated for a 32-degree January and a 97-degree July, with the option to share the home’s heating and cooling.
What should a Mereta homeowner plan for on a rural lot?
A Mereta homeowner on a rural lot should plan for wind, sun angle and drainage before choosing a style. Tom Green County’s elevation runs from 1,717 to 2,480 feet, and an open lot catches storms from every direction. We size anchors for that exposure, face the roof to shade the patio when you use it most and set gutters so water leaves the slab. On a large property, a freestanding pergola or cover can go where the view is best.
How bad is hail around Mereta?
Hail around Mereta is frequent, and some of it is very large. The NOAA Storm Events Database lists 107 hail reports in Tom Green County from 2021 through 2025, and 102 of them were an inch or larger. The largest stone measured 4 inches. May, March and April were the busiest months. The county also recorded 81 thunderstorm wind reports and three tornado reports. A solid hail-ready patio roof protects the patio far better than fabric or slats, though no roof is fully hail-proof.
How can a Mereta patio stay usable in a 97-degree July?
A Mereta patio stays usable in summer with an insulated roof and some air movement. Tom Green County’s average July temperature reaches 97 degrees, and the county gets only 18.2 inches of precipitation a year, so most days are sunny. An insulated cover keeps both the direct sun and the heat through the roof off the space. A ceiling fan under it helps on still afternoons. A pergola gives only partial shade, so it suits a patio used early in the morning or after sunset.
Does the ground around Mereta affect footings?
The ground around Mereta affects footings because Tom Green County’s major soils are silty clay loams and stony clays. Clay can move with moisture, and stony ground can make digging footings slower. The county’s minerals include caliche and limestone. We check the slab for level and cracks, decide whether posts can sit on it or need their own footings, and note what the digging will involve. All of that goes into the written estimate, so there are no surprises later, and the county’s 18.2 inches of yearly precipitation can still arrive in heavy bursts.
What are the steps in a Mereta patio project?
A Mereta patio project follows set steps: free visit, written estimate, permit, build and inspection. After you approve the estimate, we confirm whether Tom Green County or a city reviews the work and file the paperwork. Materials are ordered to your measurements. Footings and posts go in, then the roof, then any screens, walls and trim. The final inspection and a walkthrough with you close the job. Ask about financing programs before you sign if you want to spread out payments. Call (469) 949-5909 with your 76940 address to get started.

A solid roof survives most hail far better than fabric or slats, but no roof is fully hail-proof. Tom Green County hail has reached 4 inches. We use solid panels and anchor the cover to the house and footings, which limits damage and keeps the frame in place.
Size, roof type, footings in stony or clay ground, anchoring for an open lot, and extras like screens, fans or lights. You get a firm written estimate at the free visit, and financing programs are available.
Photograph the damage and call your insurance company before anything is removed. Coverage depends on your policy. Avoid paying a large deposit to anyone at the door after a storm. American Eagle Builders can inspect the cover and give you a free written estimate.

What DFW homeowners say
Reproduced word for word. Rated 4.4 on Google from 206 reviews.
“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.”
