Patio Covers
A solid cover puts a roof over the slab so the patio is usable in July sun and spring rain. On a Quinlan house built around 1983, we check the fascia before attaching.

Patio covers and rooms for Quinlan homes
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
Insulated roof panels keep the space beneath noticeably cooler when Hunt County’s July average high reaches 93 degrees, and they make hail and heavy rain much quieter.
Pergolas
A pergola gives filtered shade and a defined space. Louvered versions let Quinlan homeowners close out the hot afternoon sun or open the roof on a cool fall night.
Patio Enclosures
A screened enclosure keeps insects out while the air still moves through. With 43 inches of county rain a year, the humid months are long, and screens give those evenings back.
Sunrooms
A sunroom adds a bright, glass-walled room off the back of the house. Before building, we check that the slab is level and stable on Hunt County clay.
All-Season Sunrooms
An all-season room is fully insulated and can be heated and cooled, so a Quinlan family can use it on a 33-degree January day as easily as in May.
How do you keep a Quinlan patio cool in July?
The best way to keep a Quinlan patio cool in July is a solid insulated roof, which blocks direct sun and slows heat coming through from above. Hunt County’s average July high is 93 degrees, and a west-facing slab can hold that heat into the night. An insulated roof cover with a ceiling fan makes a real difference. A pergola helps less on the hottest afternoons but lets more light in during winter. We can show you how each option shades your patio at different times of day.
Will a screened patio stop mosquitoes in Quinlan?
A screened patio stops most mosquitoes in Quinlan, as long as the screens seal tightly at the slab and around the door. Hunt County’s 43 inches of rain a year and humid summers keep insects active for much of the year. A screened enclosure under a solid roof keeps the furniture dry and the bugs out. We fit bottom tracks to the slab, add a self-closing door and offer heavier mesh for pets. It is often the most used part of the home once it is built.
What does Hunt County clay mean for a Quinlan patio slab?
Hunt County clay means a Quinlan patio slab can rise and drop a little as it wets and dries, and the cover has to allow for that. County uplands are loamy or clayey and loamy, and bottomlands are clay. We check the slab for cracks and level at the estimate. Where it is not sound, we plan separate footings for the posts. The gutter is placed so roof water empties away from the foundation and the slab, not onto them.
What should Quinlan homes built around 1983 update first?
Quinlan homes built around 1983 often get the most from updating the back door and windows first, because those openings take the most wear. An old slider that sticks or leaks air is common at this age. We install new sliding glass doors, Andersen replacement windows and standard vinyl siding. With 53 percent of Quinlan homes owner-occupied, we also help owners who rent out a house and want it to hold up better. We look at the frame first, and if the opening is sound, we say so.
What happens between the estimate and the final inspection in Quinlan?
Between the estimate and the final inspection in Quinlan, we handle drawings, permit filing, material ordering and the build itself. First, a specialist measures and gives you a written estimate. Next, we confirm whether the city or Hunt County reviews the permit and file it. The crew based near Garland, about 30 miles away, then builds the footings, frame and roof. After the inspection passes, we walk through the finished work with you. More detail is in our guide to permits.
