Outdoor living for Nemo homes
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
Insulated panels keep the patio cooler under a 98-degree July average high and quieter in a downpour, and they make a strong base for enclosing later.
Pergolas
A pergola gives a Nemo lot filtered shade over a seating area and keeps an open view of the rough, wooded country around it.
Patio Enclosures
Screens keep insects off the patio in Somervell County’s warm, humid zone 3A climate, while the breeze still moves through.
Sunrooms
A sunroom gives you a bright room for spring and fall, built on a slab we check first, since limestone ground can sit close to the surface.
All-Season Sunrooms
An all-season room is insulated for a 32-degree January low and a 98-degree July, with the option to tie into the home’s heating and cooling.
What is different about building on a rural Nemo lot?
Building on a rural Nemo lot means more attention to exposure, drainage and access. Somervell County’s elevation runs from 600 to 1,200 feet across rough ground, so a house may sit on a slope or a rise. We plan where water will run off the new roof, how the cover is anchored and how materials reach the patio. If your best spot is away from the house, a freestanding pergola or cover is an option. The project photos show different layouts.
How often do storms hit Nemo and Somervell County?
Storms reach Nemo’s county now and then, so a cover should still be built for them. The NOAA Storm Events Database shows four hail reports in Somervell County from 2021 through 2025, all of them an inch or larger, with a largest size of 1.25 inches. June, April and May had them. The county also logged four thunderstorm wind reports and one flood report. A solid patio cover anchored to the house and footings handles that kind of weather well, and it shades the patio the rest of the year.
Sunroom or all-season room: which fits Nemo?
In Nemo, an all-season room fits if you want the room every month, and a sunroom fits if spring and fall are your main seasons. Somervell County’s July average high is 98 degrees and its January average low is 32. A sunroom keeps out wind and insects but follows the outdoor temperature. An all-season sunroom is insulated through the walls, roof and glass and can share your heating and cooling. Both need a level slab on stable footings, which we check at the first visit.
How does limestone ground change a patio cover in Nemo?
Limestone ground changes a Nemo patio cover mainly at the footings. Somervell County’s primary soils are very shallow clayey soils over limestone, and the terrain is rough with outcroppings. Rock close to the surface can make post holes slower to dig, while deep loamy and alluvial soils along the river bottoms behave differently again. We check the slab, probe where posts will go and plan footings to suit what is there. Gutters keep roof water from washing across shallow soil next to the foundation, since the county averages 32.65 inches of rain a year.
How far is the crew from Nemo?
The crew that serves Nemo is based in Fort Worth, about 38 miles away. Call (469) 949-5909 or book online, and we will set a time that works for you. At the visit we measure, check the slab and the ground, look at the wall and roofline, and give you a written estimate. If you approve it, the Arlington office files the permit and orders materials, and the crew returns to build and meet the final inspection. Ask about radiant barrier for the attic during the same visit.
