My Biggest Patio Build

Welcome to Phoenix, Arizona. Every day new homes without a patio covers or any kind of shading are built leaving homeowners looking for respite from the scorching sun. That's where I come in. Check out this huge patio roof I built!

First of all, just want to say thank you and for posting this video. I’m planning to install my own awning and have been researching this project quite a bit and your content has helped a lot. I have a question did you install flashing on the bottom part of the ledger board? This is the only video I found where the home is very similar to mine in that the siding is stucco and it’s two-story which makes this video very applicable to my project. But I have to say cutting into the stucco of my house. Kind of worries me. I figured cutting through the stucco was necessary to expose the framing of the home to make a solid connection between the house and the awning. But wouldn’t you want to include flashing on the bottom of that ledger board?

[@jeremiahmiranda9659]

well explained video. my only question is how locate the top plate to know where to cut the stucco wall?

[@luisangelmedia4459]

In most cases you will not be able to know the exact location, and you will probably be cutting the stucco to about 8-9 feet depending how tall your patio can be. Attaching to top plate is good, but most of the time we just attach to the vertical studs which is equally good.

Hi! Great video. Im doing something similar in Tucson... What would you change in the structure if the patio was going to be walked on like a balcony? Only up to 5 ppl at a time

[@luisangelmedia4459]

Thank you. I see a few concerns with having people on a roof like this. The first thing is that the wood used is meant to mostly hold its own weight, so maybe bigger beams, posts and possibly rafters. Second, the roofing base sheet and cap sheet are not real good for walking on. In peak summer when the roofing rolls get hot, they get sticky and very soft, if you step on it too much the tiny rocks sink into the black tar, so you’d need to spray it with foam and seal it, like a built up roof or flat roof.

Thanks so much for the great video. Realy appreciate it. Question. you showed putting in the L Flashing in the beginning, but later on i didn't see it? How come? You don't use any screw or adhesive for the flashing, just the 3" board? How do you know where to cut the stucco? thanks again so much for all your teaching

[@luisangelmedia4459]

Thank you. There are two flashings used in the video. The first one you see is the Z bar flashing, you won’t see this except for the piece that comes down over the L flashing. You can see the L flashing being out on at the end of the video. In this video I didn’t use any screws to attach the L flashing to the Z bar flashing or over the cap sheet because how tight it was. But you can use 1/2 lath screws to anchor the Z bar and L flashing together and also screw down the flashing to the cap sheet with longer screws, but you need to apply sealant to those anytime you screw into the cap sheet. To cut the stucco, you need to measure how high your ledger board needs to go and then cut about 9 inches, 6 inches for the ledger board and 3 inches for the wooden spacer. Hope this helps.

[@kevinvo7950]

What is the best way to find the decider for the top plate? How far up from the first floor?

[@luisangelmedia4459]

In this patio, it was decided by the fact that the HOA would not allow the patio roof to be taller than 10 feet. On my other patio, with stucco, I was limited in height by the fascia of the roof. You can also determine the height by having your horizontal beam be at least 7 feet high, the beam at the edge of the patio.

How much was the permit for the build? I live in Tucson and was just trying to get a idea of what to expect.

[@luisangelmedia4459]

City of Glendale wanted $600 because they said it’s based on square footage. That was for a patio at my house, I chose not to get the permit as it was out of my budget and for this patio, the home owner also chose to not get the permit either. Keep in mind that we build these according to the specs given by the city, so that if in the future if someone needed to get a permit for this, it will pass as it’s exactly what they ask.

[@MrMglinks677]

How do you waterproof the sides of the Ledger board?

[@luisangelmedia4459]

That’s the only place where you will have to use the acrylic caulking. I recommend the caulking because it’s paintable, but silicone is best.

[@robertrenier1709]

I noticed the caulking guns what exactly did you use those for? Do the z bar or l bar flashing require some type of sealant? I am in the process of building our attached patio cover and definitely found this video helpful. Thank you for the content.

[@luisangelmedia4459]

If you mean the caulking gun at 9:04 then it was used to seal the edges where the stucco meats all the flashing materials, only the two side edges. We also use silicone to seal the overlapping edges of the flashing materials. The z bar is not glued or anchored behind the stucco, it sits on top of a spacer and what you can do is, nail or screw the L flashing that goes bellow the Z bar flashing to the spacer, you will have to lift up the flap of the z bar flashing a little bit to do this.

How were you able to cut the stucco so straight?

[@luisangelmedia4459]

On this house I did it with a level and marker as I was by myself, but if I’m with a helper we do a chalk line.

[@williamhaynes4630]

Do you do this for a living? I’m interested in doing this to my house in SanTan.

[@luisangelmedia4459]

Yes, I do this as a profession, among money other things, I’m a professional handyman. If you want to inquire about the work, please email me so we can exchange information. San Tan valley is a bit farther than I normally go out, but perhaps we can arrange something. [e-mail]

Hi Luis! Can I ask you about attach patio cover?

[@luisangelmedia4459]

Hello. Yes, you can ask me anything. Or did you mean ask me to see work that you have?

[@riceburnr2005]

How much total material cost would you be looking at for something like this.

[@luisangelmedia4459]

The materials for this was $2,500 back when it was built.

I need a 10x12 patio, you still do this in the phx area?

[@salvadorromero2103]

How do you know what the pitch/slope should be ??

[@luisangelmedia4459]

If you are using this roofing material, the roll self adhering sheet, it needs at least a .25/12 slope or pitch. I personally went higher with a .50/12 slope. That means that for every 12 inches of length on the roof, the direction in which the slope will be, you need to drop half inch. So I’m this case I went down 6 inches because it was 12 feet long. Let me know if that makes sense.

[@sabada51]

What’s the best way to measure for the top plate? Measure inside first?

[@luisangelmedia4459]

Depends on how tall your ceilings are. For an 8ft ceiling, the top plate is around 97 inches. However, I wouldn’t let the top plate height determine your patio height, you could go lower or sometimes higher if your hoa allows. The important thing is locating those vertical studs.

i need this done at my home.... what does something like this cost? parts and labor?

[@luisangelmedia4459]

It was about $2,500 materials and at that time, $4,000 labor.

[@abrahammarttinez812]

Why didn’t you go over the stucco with the ledger?

[@luisangelmedia4459]

That is not the recommended way to install the ledger board and it would not meet city code here in Phoenix. You can do it, but it’s not a good idea.

[@ScottMcClintockDesign]

How long did this build take you?

[@luisangelmedia4459]

Normally me and my dad only need about 5 days, but as you see in the video, I was working alone most of the days as he was home sick. So this project took me about 10 days.

What type of wood are you using?

[@luisangelmedia4459]

Nothing fancy. Just Douglas fir or whatever wood Home Depot happens to sell in bulk.

[@El_Gato718]

How much does something like this goes for?

[@Daditoxic1]

Luis, what would I expect to pay for a wood patio cover this size versus an aluminum?

[@luisangelmedia4459]

I’ve never done an aluminum patio, but I’m guessing it would be a lot cheaper in labor and materials as it would require less of both. This patio was $4,000 labor and $2,000 materials at the time it was built just so you can get an idea of how much you could save on aluminum.

[@Daditoxic1]

@@luisangelmedia4459 Thank you for the reply, $6000 sounds super reasonable. Aluminum would actually cost more than double that. I quoted $17000. Wish you were here in cali.

[@vierdoesit]

how long did this take to build?

[@luisangelmedia4459]

This specific patio was a bit slow because I was by myself most days. Normally it’s about 5-6 days with two or three people and I took 9 days. Every patio is different though, so you can’t assume it will always be the same amount of time.
