Patio Covers
A covered patio adds shade to a 1958-era house that likely had none. We fasten it to a sound wall or stand it on its own posts, framed for county wind.

Patio covers and rooms built for Ranger
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
An insulated cover keeps the patio cooler through summer averages of 96 degrees and quiets hail. It is also the right base for screens or glass later.
Pergolas
A pergola gives a Ranger yard defined shade without a full roof. On hilly ground, we set each post in a footing so the frame stays level.
Patio Enclosures
A screened porch keeps mosquitoes and leaf drop off the slab. It suits a Ranger home where the patio is used most in the evenings.
Sunrooms
A sunroom adds daylight and floor space to an older layout. We inspect the slab and wall framing on mid-century homes before building on them.
All-Season Sunrooms
An all-season room has insulated walls, glass and roof and can be heated and cooled, so it stays comfortable in county winters averaging 32 degrees.
How does Ranger’s hilly ground affect a patio cover or sunroom?
Ranger’s hilly ground affects how a slab drains and how deep footings need to go. Eastland County terrain is hilly and rolling, with soils from sandy to loamy, so water tends to run toward the low side of a patio. We check for settling at the slab’s corners, look at where gutters empty and size each footing for the post load. If the slab is sound, it can carry a cover. For a glass sunroom, we are stricter, because walls and glass need a level base.
Is a screen room a good fit for a Ranger patio?
A screen room is a good fit for a Ranger patio if you want to sit outside at dusk without insects. Eastland County is wooded in places with post oak, walnut, pecan and cedar, and screens keep their leaves and pollen off the slab too. A screened enclosure does not cool the air, so it works best under a solid or insulated roof. If you think you may want glass later, say so at the estimate and we will frame for it.
What do Ranger homes built around 1958 need besides a patio?
Ranger homes built around 1958, the town’s median year, often need windows, siding or a better back door along with a patio. Mid-century houses tend to have drafty window frames and worn siding, and when a new cover makes the patio the place you use most, the door to it matters. American Eagle Builders installs Andersen replacement windows, vinyl and fiber cement siding and storm doors as well as entry and sliding doors. Planning them with the patio means one crew handles the wall where everything meets.
Will a covered patio in Ranger survive hail season?
A covered patio in Ranger can come through hail season well if it has a solid roof and a strong frame. The NOAA Storm Events Database lists 20 hail reports in Eastland County from 2021 through 2025, all an inch or larger, with stones up to 3 inches. April, May and March had the most. The county also logged 15 wind reports and 3 tornado reports. No patio roof is hail-proof, but insulated or solid panels on a well-fastened frame do much better than lattice or fabric.
How does a Ranger project go from first call to final inspection?
A Ranger project starts with a call to (469) 949-5909 and a free visit from a specialist, who measures and writes an estimate. After you sign, we prepare drawings, confirm whether the city or Eastland County reviews it and file the paperwork. The crew, based near Clyde about 48 miles away, then sets footings and builds the frame, roof and walls. When the inspector approves the work, we do a final walk-through with you. Ask about monthly payment options at the visit.

It means footings and drainage need more attention. Eastland County terrain is hilly with sandy to loamy soils. We check the slab for settling, size footings for the load and route gutters away from the patio so water does not undermine it.
Cost depends on size, roof type, insulated or standard panels, footings, the condition of your slab and wall, and extras like screens, fans and lights. A specialist measures at a free visit and gives you a firm written estimate.
A sunroom adds a roof and walls, so it usually needs one. Whether the City of Ranger or Eastland County reviews it depends on whether the address is inside the city limits. We confirm that and file the paperwork.
Yes. We install Andersen replacement windows in houses of all ages, including Ranger homes from around 1958. On older homes we check the openings for rot or settling first, so the new windows sit square, open smoothly and seal properly against wind and dust.
