Serving Sherman, TX and surrounding areas. (903) 209-2202
Sherman Sunrooms & Patios builds four season sunrooms, patio enclosures, and screen rooms for Ardmore homeowners - including the older Carter County homes that need a contractor who knows how to work with clay soil, settled foundations, and Oklahoma storm seasons.
We have served the Ardmore area since 2017, pulling permits through the City of Ardmore and providing free written estimates before any work begins - on homes from the brick ranch neighborhoods near downtown to rural properties out toward Lake Murray.
Ardmore summers push well above 90 degrees and the city sits squarely in tornado alley, where spring storms bring hail and wind that a screen room or three-season porch cannot survive. A four season sunroom built to handle Oklahoma's full weather range - with insulated glass rated for impact, a proper HVAC connection, and a foundation designed for Carter County clay soil - gives Ardmore homeowners a room they can actually use in July heat and January freezes, not just during the two comfortable weeks in spring and fall.
Many of the ranch-style homes built in Ardmore from the 1950s through the 1980s have back patios that are open to the Oklahoma summer heat, seasonal insects, and spring storms. A patio enclosure adds walls, windows, and a weathertight roof to that existing slab - converting open outdoor concrete into protected living space without having to pour a new foundation. For Ardmore homeowners whose slab is still in sound condition, it is the most cost-effective way to add enclosed square footage to an older home.
Ardmore gets genuinely pleasant evenings in late September and October - cooler temperatures and low humidity that make sitting outside comfortable if you can keep the bugs back. A screen room extends those good-weather windows by giving Ardmore families a shaded, screened outdoor space that filters mosquitoes and wind while keeping the connection to the yard. It is also the right first step on older homes where the full sunroom budget is not yet available, particularly for properties near Lake Murray where the outdoor living season is more of a priority.
Ardmore has a high rate of long-term owner-occupancy - Census data shows most residents own rather than rent, and many have lived in the same house for years. When you plan to stay in a home, a sunroom addition is a quality-of-life investment rather than a purely resale calculation. We build new enclosed additions on their own properly engineered foundations, which matters in Carter County where clay soil movement can undermine structures that were not designed with local conditions in mind.
An all season room is the fully climate-controlled version - insulated walls, insulated glass, and a heating and cooling system that keeps the space comfortable regardless of what the thermometer outside reads. For Ardmore homeowners dealing with both 100-degree August afternoons and hard-freeze January nights, this is the version that actually gets used year-round. Homes near the lake and on larger rural lots often benefit most, where the yard view makes the room genuinely pleasant to sit in during every season.
The older brick homes throughout Ardmore often have covered back areas - sometimes a concrete slab under an existing roof overhang - that are one step away from being a real room. An enclosed patio room uses that existing covered structure as the starting point, adding glass panels, screens, or solid walls to close off the space and make it functional. This approach works well on mid-century homes where the existing structure is solid but the open space has become more of a maintenance burden than an outdoor asset.
Ardmore is the county seat of Carter County with a population of roughly 24,000 people, situated about 100 miles south of Oklahoma City and 100 miles north of Dallas along Interstate 35. A large share of the city's housing stock was built before 1980, with many homes dating to the 1940s and 1950s. Decades of Oklahoma weather - hard freezes, severe spring storms, and summers that push above 95 degrees - have worked on these homes in ways that newer construction has not experienced. A sunroom contractor working in Ardmore needs to understand that conditions here are different from a new subdivision in a North Texas suburb. The City of Ardmore building department reviews permits for all enclosed additions, and we pull the required permit on every project.
The clay soil throughout Carter County is one of the most important factors on any Ardmore sunroom project. As the USDA Web Soil Survey documents for this region, expansive clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry - a cycle that repeats every season and puts constant pressure on concrete slabs and foundations. Homes in Ardmore that are 50 to 70 years old have been through that movement for decades, and many slabs have shifted in ways that need to be evaluated before any permanent structure is added. Spring storm exposure is also real here: the National Weather Service regularly records significant hail events in the Ardmore area from March through June, and the glass and framing of a sunroom need to be selected with that risk in mind.
Our crew works throughout Ardmore regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom and patio enclosure work here. The older brick ranch-style homes that dominate Ardmore's residential streets - single-story construction with low-pitched roofs and concrete back patios - represent most of the work we see in this area. These homes were built well and have held up, but they were constructed before modern insulation standards, and many have existing back areas that were never intended to be permanent structures. We know how to evaluate what these homes can support and what approach makes sense for the budget.
Ardmore sits on Interstate 35 in Carter County, with Lake Murray State Park - one of Oklahoma's most visited state parks - just a few miles to the southeast. Many homeowners in the Ardmore area own properties near the lake or on larger rural lots along Carter County roads, where the outdoor living potential is real but the exposure to wind and weather is also higher than in-town. We work on both the in-town homes near the historic downtown district and the more rural properties on the city's edges, and the approach is different for each.
We also serve homeowners in Gainesville, TX to the south and Durant, OK to the east, covering a wide stretch of the Red River corridor on both sides of the Texas-Oklahoma border.
Call us or fill out the contact form and we will follow up within one business day to discuss your project. We will ask basic questions about your home, the space you want to enclose, and how you plan to use it so we can prepare for the site visit.
We visit your Ardmore home to assess the existing foundation, slab condition, and the space we will be working with - because clay soil movement over decades affects older homes here in ways that require evaluation before we can quote accurately. The written estimate you receive is itemized with no hidden costs, and the assessment is free with no obligation.
We handle the City of Ardmore permit application before any work begins. Permit review adds two to four weeks to the timeline - we build that into the schedule from the start so the construction phase is not delayed. You do not need to be home for every day of work, but we communicate at each key milestone so you always know where things stand.
When construction is complete, we walk through the finished room with you to verify every door seals tightly, every window operates correctly, and the room is exactly what was described in the estimate. We also walk you through the permit closeout documentation, which you will need for your homeowners insurance update.
We serve Ardmore and the surrounding Carter County area with free on-site estimates and no-pressure conversations about what makes sense for your home and budget.
(903) 209-2202Ardmore is a city of roughly 24,000 people in Carter County, sitting at the crossroads of Interstate 35 halfway between Oklahoma City and Dallas. The city has a long history tied to the oil and gas industry - the Greater Southwest Historical Museum on Grand Avenue preserves that story for a region that still feels the influence of the oil boom era. Mercy Hospital Ardmore is one of the largest employers, and the healthcare and energy sectors keep Ardmore's economy stable in ways that smaller Oklahoma cities sometimes do not experience. Most residents own rather than rent, and many have lived here for years, which means the housing stock gets maintained and invested in over time.
The residential streets of Ardmore are dominated by single-story brick and wood-frame ranch homes built between the 1940s and 1980s. Neighborhoods near the historic Ardmore downtown district include some of the oldest homes in the city, with properties built before 1950 that have been through decades of Oklahoma weather cycles. The newer residential areas on the north and west sides of town have more recently built homes, though even these sit on the same expansive clay soil that defines Carter County. Lake Murray State Park, just a few miles southeast, draws homeowners to properties along the lake shore and on rural Carter County roads - a very different lifestyle and building context from the city's core neighborhoods. We also serve homeowners in Durant, OK to the east, which shares many of the same Oklahoma housing conditions and climate considerations.
