Patio Covers
A solid patio cover shades a Strawn slab through the county’s 96-degree July afternoons and keeps rain off in spring. It is framed into the roof of the house and built for local wind.

Patio projects for Strawn homes
Also available: replacement windows, siding, doors and attic insulation.
Insulated Patio Covers
Insulated roof panels keep heat from building up under the cover and soften the sound of hail. On a Strawn house from the mid-1960s, they add a finished ceiling for fans and lights.
Pergolas
A pergola gives open, filtered shade that suits a compact Strawn yard without closing it in. Louvered tops can tilt to block the sun at midday and open again at night.
Patio Enclosures
Screens give a Strawn patio bug-free evenings while the breeze still gets through. Pet-resistant mesh and a screen door to the yard are available on request.
Sunrooms
A sunroom adds a bright room of glass under a solid roof. With the median Strawn home built around 1965, we check the slab and the back wall before any walls go up.
All-Season Sunrooms
An all-season room is fully insulated and can share the home’s heating and cooling, comfortable when Palo Pinto County dips to a 33-degree January low or heats up in July.
Should a Strawn patio get a solid cover or an insulated one?
A Strawn patio should get an insulated cover if you plan to sit out on summer afternoons, and a solid cover is fine if you mostly want rain shelter and evening shade. Palo Pinto County’s average July high is 96 degrees. A thin metal roof stops the sun but warms up and radiates heat down. An insulated roof stays cooler underneath and is much quieter in a storm. It can also carry screens or glass later. A plain patio cover costs less up front and still does the basic job well.
Does a screen room in Strawn need a solid roof over it?
A screen room in Strawn works best with a solid roof over it, because screens stop bugs but not rain or sun. A screened enclosure under an insulated cover gives shade, dry furniture and fresh air together. Under an open pergola, rain blows straight in. Palo Pinto County averages 30.13 inches of rain a year, so a dry floor matters. If you already have a sound cover, screens can often be added to it. If not, we can build the roof and the screens together as one job.
What do Strawn homes from the mid-1960s need in windows and siding?
Strawn homes from the mid-1960s, around the town’s median year of 1965, often need new windows and siding to keep heat out and water off the walls. Original single-pane windows let summer heat in and winter warmth out. Old siding can crack, warp or pull loose. American Eagle Builders installs Andersen replacement windows and insulated vinyl siding as well as James Hardie fiber cement. With 74 percent of Strawn homes owner-occupied, it can make sense to plan the outside of the house and the patio as one project.
How do Palo Pinto County storms shape a patio build in Strawn?
Storms shape a patio build in Strawn mainly through the roof material, the post footings and how the frame ties to the house. From 2021 through 2025, the NOAA Storm Events Database lists 30 hail reports in Palo Pinto County, 28 of them an inch or larger, with the largest stones 2.5 inches. There were also 23 thunderstorm wind reports, 7 tornado reports and one flood report. Hail peaked in May, March and April. We engineer and permit each cover for local wind and load. A solid roof is not hail-proof, but it does far better than fabric or an open frame.
How does a patio job in Strawn go from first call to final inspection?
A patio job in Strawn goes from first call to final inspection in a few clear steps. You call or book online, and we set a visit. A specialist from American Eagle Builders, whose crew is based near Clyde about 60 miles away, measures and gives you a written estimate. After you sign, we confirm whether the city or Palo Pinto County handles your address and file the permit. The crew sets the footings, frames the roof and adds screens or glass if you chose them. Once the inspector signs off, we walk through it with you. Finish ideas are in our photo gallery.

Strawn, TX snapshot
Strawn has 239 households, and 74 percent of its homes are owner-occupied. The median home was built in 1965, so siding, windows and doors on many houses have seen decades of sun, and back slabs were often poured small. Both matter when a cover or room is added.
Strawn lies in Palo Pinto County, broken and hilly land in north central Texas with sandy, gray and black soils. Elevations range from 800 to 1,450 feet, the Brazos River drains the county, and rain averages 30.13 inches a year.

What DFW homeowners say

“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.”
