Our neighbor across the street had hers done by her daughters father in law and we contacted him.  He builds it with pressure treated wood and then in cases it in cedar.  If you have gutters, he removes them and attaches them to the cover.  We are paying $2300 for 10X15.  The roof will be shingled and the inside of the roof (the part we see) is painted bead board.  It is attached to the house, so thats why we had to get permission from HOA.  He should be finishing it this week :)

Does this guy who is doing ya'lls do it for a living? or on the side?  Can you pm me his name and number?  You should post some pictures when it's all done.  Love to see it.

we got one because our contractor suggested it.  I didn't know we had a "choice"  It was $50 bucks, but at least I don't need to worry about it.  We did have to get an OK from our HOA though

Who did ya'lls patio cover?  We have bids ranging from $2200 - $5000 for the same exact patio that I want.  I'll have to get out my HOA rules book.  I thought that no approval is needed if it's not visible from the road???

Wow, what sq ft are you trying to cover. We have almost 100 sq ft we are trying to cover, thinking we may do it ourselves and take a year to do it LOL

Do you have a link on the company/type of covering you are doing?


Here's what we want built 12 x 22..with the bids all over the place.  The website will not let me save the image.

Well seeing as how we actually now have 12 sq ft to cover; I am in for a huge bill  ::) We might just have to leave some uncovered.

ours looks like that, but much larger.  It is slightly wider that the entire back of the house  We used Deckmasters.  http://www.deckpictures.com/

It's been a year, but I think we paid a little over $7K for it.  Only approval we needed was from HOA (Pam at the time) and that took about 3 work days.  If we had a building permit, I am not aware of it.

Yours also has twists and turns and a full concrete pad which flows nicely with the roofline.  I think yours is in a slightly different league, given its ornate look and custom lines.

Or, as Quark would be interested in, "latinum."
