Patio Covers
A solid patio roof for country storms. Coleman County hail has reached 3 inches, and a roof over the slab keeps that off people, furniture and the concrete.

Who builds patio covers and pergolas in Rockwood, TX?
American Eagle Builders builds patio covers, pergolas, insulated covers, screened enclosures, sunrooms and all-season rooms for homes in Rockwood. We are family-owned, in business since 1984, and work from an office at 401 Crowley Rd in Arlington. Because Rockwood is a rural address, we set the estimate visit around your calendar. We measure the patio, look at the slab and roofline, and hand you a firm written estimate that costs nothing. Call (469) 949-5909 or set up your estimate online.
Patio and sunroom projects for Rockwood homes
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
Insulated panels block heat from a 96-degree July sun and make a quiet ceiling for rain. A strong base if screens or glass may come later.
Pergolas
A pergola marks out a shaded sitting area on an open lot and can stand apart from the house, which suits a larger Rockwood property.
Patio Enclosures
Screen walls keep insects and blowing debris out of the patio, with a screen door and pet-resistant mesh available, while air still moves through.
Sunrooms
Glass walls and a solid roof make a sheltered room for mild months. We check the slab first, since an uneven base can rack the frame.
All-Season Sunrooms
Fully insulated walls, glazing and roof make a room you can use from a 34-degree January morning to a July afternoon, with heating and cooling tie-in available.
What kind of storms should a Rockwood patio cover be built for?
A Rockwood patio cover should be built for hail and straight-line wind first. The NOAA Storm Events Database shows 50 hail reports in Coleman County from 2021 through 2025, 48 of them an inch or larger, and the largest hail measured 3 inches. May was the busiest month, followed by June and April. The county also logged 14 thunderstorm wind reports and one tornado report. We anchor each covered patio to the house and to footings, and we use solid roof panels that shed hail far better than fabric or open slats.
How do Rockwood homeowners deal with the summer sun on a patio?
Rockwood homeowners get the most relief from an insulated roof over the patio. Coleman County’s mean July high is 96 degrees, and a slab in full sun stays hot well into the evening. An insulated cover keeps both the sun and the heat soaking through the roof off the space below. A pergola is lighter and lets some sun through, so it fits a patio used early or late in the day. Ceiling fans under a solid roof help on the hottest afternoons.
Is planning a patio on a Rockwood country lot any different?
Planning on a Rockwood country lot is different mainly because the house is more exposed. Coleman County rises from 1,500 to 2,250 feet, and a home on a ridge takes wind from more directions than one in a creek bottom. We size anchors for that exposure, decide where roof water should go and check the afternoon sun angle. Larger lots also give you options a town yard does not, such as a freestanding cover over a sitting area away from the house. The photo gallery shows freestanding and attached styles.
What happens after a Rockwood estimate is approved?
After a Rockwood estimate is approved, the next step is the permit. We confirm whether the address falls under a city or Coleman County, prepare drawings and file the paperwork. Materials are ordered to your measurements. The crew sets footings and posts, builds the roof or walls, and finishes trim and any fan or light wiring. A final inspection closes the work, then we walk the finished space with you. If you would like to spread out payments, ask about financing programs before you sign. The 76873 ZIP code is part of our regular service area.
Should a Rockwood home add attic insulation along with a patio?
A Rockwood home with a thin attic gets real benefit from adding insulation, and it can be checked during the patio visit. ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an uninsulated attic in climate zone 3, the zone that covers Coleman County (3B), or R-38 if 3 to 4 inches are already in place. We install blown-in insulation for an attic that is simply short on depth and radiant barrier where roof heat is the main complaint. Ask us to look while we are already there.

Do you need a permit in Rockwood?
Rockwood property outside any city limits is reviewed by Coleman County; inside city limits, the city does the review. We confirm which applies at the estimate and handle the filing.
Which office reviews the job depends on whether your address is inside the City of Rockwood or in unincorporated Coleman County. We confirm that at the estimate and file the paperwork ourselves.
Our permit guide covers the rest, including how an HOA submittal fits in.
Rockwood patio and sunroom questions
Yes. We build patio covers, pergolas, screen rooms and sunrooms for Rockwood homeowners in ZIP 76873. Call (469) 949-5909 to set up a free in-home estimate, and we will schedule it at a time that suits you.
Many pergolas and nearly all roofed covers need one. Whether Coleman County or a city reviews it depends on whether the address is inside city limits. American Eagle Builders checks this at the estimate and files the paperwork.
Size, roof type, whether the posts can sit on the existing slab or need new footings, and extras like fans, lights or screens. Wind exposure on an open lot can change the anchoring. The free visit ends with a firm written estimate, and financing programs are available.
Take photos, keep the broken panels and call your insurance company before anything is removed. Coverage depends on your policy. Avoid paying a large deposit to anyone who shows up at the door after a storm. American Eagle Builders can inspect the cover and give you a free written estimate.
