Patio Covers
A solid patio cover shades a Paint Rock patio through July, when Concho County highs average 97 degrees, and adds cover from spring hail. We tie it carefully into the roof of an older house.

Covers and rooms for Paint Rock houses
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
Insulated panels take hail better than thin metal and keep the space cooler. On a Paint Rock home from the late 1940s, they also add a finished ceiling with room for a fan.
Pergolas
A pergola gives a Paint Rock yard shade and an open frame for lights or climbing plants. Posts sit in footings suited to the clay loam ground in this part of the county.
Patio Enclosures
Screens let a Paint Rock family sit outside in the evening without bugs, while air still moves. Under a solid roof, the space stays dry and shaded.
Sunrooms
A sunroom adds glass walls and a solid roof to the back of the house. With the median Paint Rock home built in 1949, we check the wall and slab before planning.
All-Season Sunrooms
An all-season room is insulated top to bottom and can share your heating and cooling, so it stays comfortable through a 33-degree January low in Concho County.
What does a 1949 home in Paint Rock need before a patio cover goes on?
A 1949 home in Paint Rock, the town’s median build year, needs a close look at three things before a patio cover goes on: the wall framing, the roof edge and the slab. Older roofs may have been reworked more than once, and the wall where a ledger board attaches has to be solid. An existing slab may be thin or cracked. Sometimes a freestanding patio cover on its own posts is the better choice, so the house carries less load. We check all of this at the free visit and explain what we find in plain terms.
Will a patio roof in Paint Rock hold up to Concho County hail?
A solid, well-anchored patio roof in Paint Rock gives the best chance against Concho County hail, though nothing is hail-proof. The NOAA Storm Events Database lists 22 hail reports in the county from 2021 through 2025, all of them an inch or larger, and the largest reached 4 inches. There were also 8 thunderstorm wind reports and one tornado report. Hail came mostly in May, June and April. An insulated cover has thicker panels than plain metal and a frame engineered and permitted for local wind and load.
What is the ground like under a Paint Rock patio?
The ground under a Paint Rock patio can be thin, stony Edwards Plateau soil or the clay loam found in the north of Concho County, so we check what is under your lot at the first visit. Clay loam holds moisture and can shift a little as it wets and dries, so each post needs a proper footing. The northern part of the county is rolling, with steep slopes and benches, so a yard may fall away from the house. With twenty-three inches of rain a year, we route roof water away from the slab. A sunroom needs the firmest base of all.
Do older Paint Rock homes need new windows, siding or doors?
Many older Paint Rock homes need new windows, siding or doors, because the median house in town was built in 1949 and those parts rarely last that long. Old windows let heat and dust in, and worn siding lets water reach the frame. American Eagle Builders installs Andersen replacement windows, vinyl siding and James Hardie fiber cement, plus entry doors sized to older openings. With 68 percent of homes owner-occupied, pairing this work with a patio project means the wall is ready for the new roof.
How far does your crew travel to Paint Rock, and how is a visit set?
Our crew travels about 67 miles to Paint Rock from its base near Clyde, and the free visit is set for a day and time that suit you. A specialist measures the patio, checks the house and the ground, and goes over covers, screens and glass. You can see examples in our screen room gallery. You keep a written estimate, whatever you decide. If the job needs a permit, we confirm whether the city or Concho County handles your address in ZIP code 76866 and file the paperwork for you.
