A patio cover that gives shade and a dry place to sit, tied into the eave of a 1953-era home or built freestanding if the wall is not up to it.

An insulated cover keeps a sunny slab cooler on Eastland County summer days near 96 degrees, with a quiet ceiling that can hold a fan and lights.

A pergola gives filtered shade over part of the yard and keeps an open feel. In sandy to loamy soil, each post is set in a proper footing.

A screen room keeps out mosquitoes, flies and falling leaves so the patio stays usable from spring into fall. It can go under an existing sound cover.

A sunroom gives a small older house a bright extra room. We check the slab and the back wall of a mid-century home before building on them.

An all-season room is insulated for winters averaging 32 degrees in the county and can tie into your heating and cooling for year-round use.
In Rising Star, a small town of 734 residents, planning mostly comes down to scheduling and choosing a structure that suits an older house. For the town’s 322 households, where the median home was built in 1953, a compact patio cover or screen room sized to an older house is often the right fit. We set the visit for a time you are home, measure, and write the estimate at your table, so you are not waiting on a second trip for numbers. If the slab or back wall needs work first, we tell you then.
For Rising Star, a sunroom works if you mainly want spring and fall use, while an all-season room is for every month. Eastland County’s average temperature runs from 32 degrees in winter to 96 in summer. A sunroom addition has glass walls and a roof but is not insulated like the house. An insulated four-season room adds insulated walls, roof and glass and can share your HVAC. We bring examples of both to the estimate and explain how each would sit against your house and slab.
Rising Star homeowners should know that Eastland County logged 20 hail reports from 2021 through 2025, according to the NOAA Storm Events Database. All of them were an inch or larger, and the biggest was 3 inches. The county also had 15 wind reports, 3 tornado reports and 4 flood reports. Hail was most common in April, May and March. A patio roof built with solid or insulated panels on a well-anchored frame stands up far better than an old open awning.
Homes in Rising Star built around 1953, the town’s median year, often need new doors and windows because the originals no longer seal. Mid-century frames can be out of square from years of settling. We check the openings first and then fit Andersen windows or a new exterior door. When a patio cover is part of the plan, the back door becomes your main way outside, so replacing it at the same time makes sense. We also install vinyl and fiber cement siding.
Our crew is about 35 miles from Rising Star, based near Clyde. We book estimate visits at a time that works for you and confirm the day before, so nobody waits around. On the visit, the specialist measures, takes photos and writes the estimate. After you approve it, we draw the plans, file the paperwork and set a build date. The crew handles footings, framing and the roof or walls, and we walk the job with you after the final inspection.
The 2019–2023 census survey counts 322 households in Rising Star, with 51% of homes owner-occupied. The median home was built in 1953, among the older housing in the county. Homes that age often have original doors and window frames, and a patio slab that should be checked before anything is built on it.

Often, yes. We check the wall framing, fascia and slab first. If the old wall or slab cannot carry the load, we build the cover on its own posts and footings so the house is not stressed.

A patio slab has almost no height of its own, so the real question is the cover above it. Here is what sets it and where taller goes wrong.
