Serving Sherman, TX and surrounding areas. (903) 209-2202
Sherman Sunrooms & Patios has been serving Durant, OK homeowners since 2017, building sunroom additions, patio enclosures, and screen rooms across Bryan County - with four-season rooms and patio-to-sunroom conversions that are permitted, inspected, and free to estimate before any work begins.
Durant is a city where most residents own their homes and plan to stay - median home values are relatively modest, which means adding livable square footage through a sunroom addition is often a more practical choice than buying a larger property. A properly permitted addition engineered for Bryan County's clay soil gives you extra space that works and holds its value.
Durant's older neighborhoods - the brick ranch houses near downtown and around Southeastern Oklahoma State University - frequently have open concrete patios that sit unused for most of the summer because of heat and insects. Enclosing that patio with glass or screen panels converts unused outdoor square footage into protected living space without replacing the slab.
Durant summers are long and humid, and winters can bring ice storms that make an uninsulated porch unusable for weeks at a time. A four-season room is the only sunroom design built to stay comfortable through both conditions, using insulated glass and a dedicated climate system sized specifically for the space.
Evening outdoor time in Durant is pleasant in spring and fall, but mosquitoes and other insects are a real deterrent from late spring through September. A screen room - particularly on properties near Lake Texoma - keeps the bugs out while letting in the breeze, at a lower price point than a full glass enclosure.
Durant's intense afternoon sun from June through August makes south- and west-facing patios uncomfortable for hours at a time. A solid patio cover blocks direct sun exposure, drops the surface temperature of the concrete below it, and extends usable outdoor hours without requiring the full investment of a glass enclosure.
A number of Durant homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s have existing porches or older sunrooms with single-pane glass, soft wood trim, and seals that have been failing for years. Remodeling those spaces replaces the components that have failed and brings the room to a functional standard - more cost-effective than tearing out and rebuilding when the underlying structure is still sound.
Durant's housing stock is older than many people expect for a growing community. A significant share of homes in the established neighborhoods were built between the 1940s and the 1980s - brick veneer construction, wood-frame interiors, and original windows that have long since outlived their useful life. Those homes develop air leaks, moisture intrusion at aging trim and seals, and sunroom or porch enclosures that were never properly engineered in the first place. When a homeowner in one of these neighborhoods decides to add or improve a sunroom, they are often working around existing conditions that a newer-market contractor may not anticipate.
The clay soil in Bryan County behaves the same way it does throughout this part of Oklahoma and North Texas - it swells when wet and contracts when dry. During Durant's dry summers, that soil can pull away from foundations, and during wet springs it holds water against slabs and wall bases. A sunroom addition built on a shallow or improperly designed foundation will show the effects of that movement within a few years: cracked panels, sticking doors, and gaps where the addition meets the house. Oklahoma's spring storm season adds another layer of demand - hail and high winds move through Durant every year, and sunroom glass and roof panels need to be specified with that exposure in mind, not just sized for mild weather.
Our crew works throughout Durant regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. Durant is the county seat of Bryan County, anchored by Southeastern Oklahoma State University on the south side of town and the Choctaw Casino Resort near US-70 - two institutions that give the city stability and bring a steady mix of long-term homeowners and newer residents to the area. We have worked on homes throughout the city, from the older brick ranch houses near downtown to the newer subdivisions going up on the north and east sides as the city has grown.
The neighborhoods closest to SE, as locals call the university, include a range of housing ages and conditions - some well-maintained owner-occupied homes, some rental properties that have had deferred maintenance for years. We are familiar with both. For homeowners checking permits and building department processes, the City of Durant handles building permits for properties within city limits. We manage that process on your behalf so you are not navigating paperwork alone.
Durant sits about 90 miles north of Dallas and roughly 15 miles north of the Texas state line, which puts it close to several communities we also serve regularly. We cover Pottsboro, TX just across Lake Texoma to the south, where the same clay soil and similar housing stock create familiar job conditions. We also serve Ardmore, OK to the north, another Bryan County-adjacent community where homeowners frequently need the same type of work.
We respond within 1 business day. Tell us roughly what you have in mind - the type of space, where on the house it would go, and how you plan to use it. No commitment at this stage, just a conversation.
A member of our team visits your Durant property, checks the foundation site, reviews the condition of any existing structure, and puts together a written proposal with a clear scope and price. We address cost during this visit, not in vague terms later.
Once you approve the proposal, we submit the permit application to the City of Durant Building Department. This typically takes one to three weeks. We handle the paperwork and keep you updated on timing.
Work begins once the permit is issued. City inspections happen at the foundation, framing, and final completion stages. When everything passes and the room is finished, we walk through it with you before closing out the project.
We serve Durant and Bryan County. Free estimates on every project, permits handled, and we respond within 1 business day. Call us or fill out the form to get started.
(903) 209-2202Durant is the county seat of Bryan County in southeastern Oklahoma, with a population of roughly 18,000. It sits about 90 miles north of Dallas and just north of Lake Texoma, one of the largest reservoirs in the United States. The city has grown steadily over the past two decades, driven in part by the presence of Southeastern Oklahoma State University and the economic activity of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, which is headquartered here and operates the Choctaw Casino Resort near US-70 - a landmark visible from the highway that most residents recognize immediately. That combination of a four-year university, a major tribal employer, and a growing residential base makes Durant more economically stable than many small Oklahoma cities. You can learn more about Durant's history on its Wikipedia city article.
The residential character of Durant varies considerably by neighborhood. The streets around the university and near downtown are dense with older single-story brick homes, many dating back to the mid-20th century. On the north and east sides of the city, newer subdivisions have been built over the past decade - vinyl-sided or brick homes on slab foundations, typically ranging from 1,400 to 2,200 square feet. Then there are properties near the Lake Texoma shoreline, farther south toward the water, where cabins and vacation homes see more humidity and seasonal wear than homes in town. We work in all of these settings. For homeowners in neighboring communities, we also cover Pottsboro, TX to the south and Ardmore, OK to the north.
