Patio Covers
A solid roof that throws real shade over the patio during Coke County’s 97 degree Julys. Posts go into footings and the roof ties into the house so it stays put in a storm.

What we build for Silver homes
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
Insulated roof panels cut the heat that radiates off a plain metal roof and quiet hail on the patio. A sound base if you later want screens or glass at a Silver home.
Pergolas
A pergola adds filtered shade and an open-air feel off the back of the house. Louvered tops can be closed against midday sun near Silver and opened when the evening cools.
Patio Enclosures
Screen walls under a solid roof keep flies, mosquitoes and dust out of the sitting area. On a rural lot near Silver, that can make evenings outside far easier to enjoy.
Sunrooms
A glass room joined to the house on a slab we check first, since Coke County’s sandy loam and red soils still need sound footings under a heavy structure.
All-Season Sunrooms
An insulated room with insulated glass that stays usable from a 29 degree January average low to the height of summer, with an optional tie-in to your HVAC.
What does a rural Silver property mean for a patio project?
A rural Silver property mostly changes the logistics of a patio project, not what you can build. Our Coke County crew is based near Clyde, so we plan the estimate visit and the install days together and bring materials in one well-planned delivery. At the visit we check driveway access, where a trailer can park and how panels reach the backyard. Open land also means full sun and wind on the patio, so a solid or insulated cover usually beats an open frame in ZIP code 76949.
How much hail does the Silver area get?
The Silver area shares Coke County’s hail record: 23 reports from 2021 through 2025, with 22 at one inch or larger and a largest size of 2.75 inches, according to the NOAA Storm Events Database. Hail came most often in May, April and March. The county also logged 4 thunderstorm wind reports and 2 tornado reports in that time. A patio cover with a solid roof, set in footings and fastened to the house framing, gives the best protection. Thin lattice and fabric shades do not stand up to stones that size.
What should Silver homeowners know about the soil under a patio?
Silver homeowners should know that Coke County’s sandy loam and red soils drain well but still need proper footings under any cover or sunroom. The county’s terrain takes in prairie, hills and the Colorado River valley, so some lots slope and some slabs tilt. We set posts below the loose surface layer, check slab level with a long straightedge and plan gutters to carry roof water away from the house. If the slab is not ready for glass walls, we say so before recommending a sunroom, and we explain the choices in writing.
How do you keep a Silver patio cool in summer?
To keep a Silver patio cool in summer, block the sun with a solid insulated roof and keep air moving with a fan. Coke County’s average July high is 97 degrees, and the county is dry, with 20.48 inches of rain a year, so sun is the main problem on most days. A pergola is a lighter option that filters sun rather than stopping it, best where the house shades the patio after midday. A ceiling fan under a solid cover makes a bigger difference than its size suggests, and we can wire for one during the build.
Is an all-season room worth it for a home near Silver?
An all-season room is worth it for a home near Silver if you want to use the room in January and July, not just in spring and fall. Coke County averages a 29 degree low in January and a 97 degree high in July. An all-season room has insulated glass, walls and roof and can share your HVAC, so it works like part of the house. A standard sunroom is lighter and costs less to build, and it suits mild months well. Coke County is in climate zone 3B, and the right glass makes a large difference there.
Does a Silver home need more attic insulation?
A Silver home likely needs more attic insulation if the attic is thin or bare. ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 for an uninsulated attic in climate zone 3, or R-38 if 3 to 4 inches are already in place, and Coke County is zone 3B. We install blown-in insulation and spray foam where gaps let hot air in. In a county with 97 degree July highs, a better-insulated attic keeps the rooms below cooler and helps an attached sunroom stay comfortable.
