Outdoor living options in Santa Anna
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
An insulated cover keeps the patio cooler and quieter, and its finished ceiling is ready for a fan to move air on a 96-degree afternoon.
Pergolas
A pergola gives a Santa Anna backyard filtered shade and an open look, and it puts less weight on an older wall than a full roof.
Patio Enclosures
Screens close the patio off from insects while letting the breeze in. Pet-resistant screen and a screen door are both options.
Sunrooms
A sunroom adds a bright room for spring and fall. On an older house, we check the slab and wall connection so the glass walls stay square.
All-Season Sunrooms
An all-season room is insulated top to bottom for use through a 34-degree January, and it can share the home’s heating and cooling.
Which outdoor project gives a Santa Anna home the most use?
A covered patio usually gives a Santa Anna home the most use for the investment, because shade is what an open slab lacks most. Coleman County’s mean July high is 96 degrees. A patio cover makes the space usable through the afternoon, and screens or glass can follow. If evenings are spoiled by insects, a screen room may come first. If you want a room you can sit in during winter, an all-season room is the bigger step. We lay out all three at the estimate.
Will a screen room keep bugs off a Santa Anna patio?
A screen room keeps bugs off a Santa Anna patio while leaving it open to the breeze. A screen enclosure blocks flying insects and windblown debris, and a screen door lets you step in and out without letting them follow. It does not lower the air temperature, so most are built under a solid or insulated roof that shades the space from the Coleman County sun. If you think you may want glass walls later, an insulated roof is the better base to start with, especially under a 96-degree July sun.
What do Santa Anna houses built around 1957 usually need?
Santa Anna houses built around 1957, the median year, usually need some combination of windows, siding and doors as well as patio work. With 423 households and 60 percent owner-occupied, many homes have been lived in by the same family for years and repaired along the way. We install Andersen replacement windows, James Hardie and vinyl siding, and new entry, sliding and storm doors. Fixing the wall before a cover attaches to it saves tearing into the new roof later.
How does the crew get to Santa Anna, and how is a visit scheduled?
Santa Anna is about 48 miles from the crew based near Clyde, and that crew handles both the estimate and the build. You call (469) 949-5909 or book online, we agree on a time, and someone comes out to measure and take photos of the slab, roofline and the wall the project will meet. You get a written estimate during that visit. Planning, permits and ordering run through the Arlington office. Look through the sunroom photos first if you are weighing a room.
How often does hail hit Santa Anna and the rest of Coleman County?
Hail hits Santa Anna’s county several times a year in a typical stretch. The NOAA Storm Events Database records 50 hail reports in Coleman County from 2021 through 2025, 48 of them an inch or larger and one at 3 inches. May, June and April had the most. There were also 14 thunderstorm wind reports and four flood reports. A solid roof protects the patio and what sits on it, and anchoring to the house and footings keeps the structure from loosening in the wind that comes with these storms.

Santa Anna, TX at a glance
The census counts 423 households in Santa Anna, with 60 percent owner-occupied and a median home built in 1957. Homes of that age often carry worn siding, drafty windows and doors that no longer close tight. Because a patio cover attaches to that same wall, we check it before anything is built.
Coleman County lies in the transitional area between the Edwards Plateau and the Rolling Plains, and the southern half of the county includes the Santa Anna Mountains at about 2,000 feet. Rolling hills covered in mesquite and oak are typical. The county averages 26.82 inches of rain a year, a 34-degree mean January low and a 96-degree mean July high.

The size of the patio, the roof the screens sit under, the condition of the slab, and options like a screen door or pet-resistant mesh. If a new roof is needed, that is part of it too. A free in-home visit gives you a firm written estimate, and financing programs are available.
Often, yes. If the posts and roof are sound, screen walls can be built under an existing cover. We check the posts, the slab edge and how the roof is attached during the estimate, and tell you plainly if the cover needs work first.

“I had a patio cover installed. They first said the work would begin about six weeks out but to my surprise it began three weeks out. Jim was my installer and he went above and beyond to ensure I had a strong and properly supported patio cover built. Very pleased with the result and received a very favorable and fair price.”
