A solid cover adds shade and a dry seat to a Scurry home from around 1998, extending the short porch roof most houses of that age came with.

Insulated panels keep the patio cooler and quieter in storms, and Kaufman County saw hail up to 3.5 inches from 2021 through 2025.

A pergola gives filtered shade and a defined space. Louvered tops let you open the roof on mild days and close it in the July heat.

Kaufman County’s subtropical-humid climate brings warm, buggy evenings. A screen room keeps the insects out while the breeze still moves through.

A sunroom adds a glass-walled room on the back of the house. Clay subsoils mean we check the slab and footings before setting walls.

An all-season room is insulated and can tie into your HVAC, so the space is usable in January as well as through a humid summer.
A Scurry screen room solves the mosquito and gnat problem that comes with warm, humid evenings. Kaufman County is subtropical-humid, with about 39 inches of rain a year and July nights averaging 72 degrees, so the patio can be buggy from spring into fall. A screen enclosure keeps insects out while the air still moves. It works best under a solid roof, with a screen door and pet-resistant mesh if needed. An existing cover in good shape can often be screened in.
Footings in Scurry should be planned for clay subsoil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Kaufman County soils have dark to light loamy surfaces over clayey subsoils, and about 39 inches of rain a year keeps that cycle going. A cover or sunroom attached to the house needs posts and footings that hold steady while the ground moves a little. We check the existing slab for cracks or tilt, size footings to match and route gutters so roof water drains away from the patio.
The Scurry area gets hail most springs: Kaufman County logged 52 hail reports from 2021 through 2025 in the NOAA Storm Events Database, and 46 were an inch or larger. The largest was 3.5 inches. March, April and May saw the most, and the county also had 32 thunderstorm wind reports. A cover with insulated roof panels resists hail better than thin metal or lattice. No roof is hail-proof, so take photos and call your insurer after a damaging storm.
An all-season room is worth it in Scurry if you want to use the space in January and July, not just spring and fall. Kaufman County averages January temperatures from 33 to 54 degrees and July from 72 to 97. An all-season room has insulated walls, roof and glass, and can share the house’s heating and cooling. A standard sunroom is a simpler build but runs warm on summer afternoons. Both sit on a slab we check first, and both need a permit.
Scurry homes built near the 1998 median often need a new back door and better windows on the sunny side of the house. Builder-grade sliders from that era can drag or leak air, and clay subsoil can pull frames slightly out of square. American Eagle Builders installs patio doors, entry doors and Andersen windows, along with attic insulation. We check every frame and opening before recommending a replacement, and if something still has good years left, we tell you. Doing the door and the patio cover together keeps the back wall to one project.
Scurry has 231 households, and 76 percent of homes are owner-occupied. The median home was built in 1998, so builder windows and patio doors are reaching the age where seals and hardware wear. Many owners start with the patio, then look at the back door that opens onto it.
Kaufman County is level to gently undulating Blackland Prairie between 300 and 550 feet above sea level, on the divide between the Trinity and Sabine rivers. The soils are slightly acidic, with dark to light loamy surfaces over clayey subsoils. Temperatures average from 33 to 54 degrees in January and 72 to 97 in July.

Often, yes. If the cover over your Scurry patio is sound and properly attached, screen walls and a door can usually be added. We check the posts, beams and slab first, then give you a written estimate for the enclosure.
