Patio Covers, Pergolas & Sunrooms in Novice, TX

Who builds patio covers and screened porches in Novice, TX?

American Eagle Builders builds patio covers, screened porches, insulated covers, pergolas, sunrooms and all-season rooms for Novice homeowners. We are a family-owned remodeler in Arlington, in business since 1984. A crew based near Clyde, about 31 miles away, serves Novice. During a free visit we look at your patio, the wall it meets and the roof above it, then give you a firm written estimate. Call (469) 949-5909 to set a time, or book your visit online.

Is a screened patio worth adding in Novice?

A screened patio is worth adding in Novice if insects are what drive you indoors in the evening. A screened patio enclosure keeps bugs and blown debris out while the air keeps moving. It does not cool the air, though, so most enclosures are built under a solid or insulated roof that blocks Coleman County’s 96-degree July sun. Pet-resistant mesh and a screen door are both available. If you later want glass instead, an insulated roof makes that change easier.

What should owners of older Novice homes check before adding a patio cover?

Owners of Novice homes from around 1946, the town’s median year of construction, should have the attaching wall and roof edge checked before any cover goes up. Older rafters, fascia boards and siding may not be ready to carry a new roof. Of the 28 households counted, 82 percent own their homes, and many are long-term owners who have repaired as they went. We look at the wall, the eaves and the entry doors nearby, since settled frames point to movement worth knowing about.

Does the ground around Novice affect patio footings?

The ground around Novice affects footings the same way it does anywhere in Coleman County’s rolling terrain: no two lots are quite alike. The county’s hills run from 1,500 to 2,250 feet, and it lists clay and rock among its natural resources. An old slab may have settled at one corner. We check slab level and look for cracks at the visit, and the written estimate states whether new footings are needed under the posts. See finished work in the enclosure gallery.

How far is the crew that serves Novice?

The crew that serves Novice is based near Clyde, about 31 miles away. That means an estimate visit and the build are handled from nearby rather than from Arlington. Call (469) 949-5909 or book online, and we will set a time that works for you. The visit covers measurements, the slab, the roofline and the wall the cover will meet, and you leave with a written estimate. If the attic is thin, we can talk about attic insulation during the same visit.

Which outdoor upgrade makes sense for a small Novice lot?

For a small Novice lot, a patio cover or a screened porch usually makes the most sense, because both fit the existing slab and do not crowd the yard. The town covers less than half a square mile, and many homes sit on compact lots. A cover gives shade from the July sun and shelter from hail, which in Coleman County has reached 3 inches. A sunroom is possible too, but it needs a slab that can carry walls. We compare the options with you at the estimate.
