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?
Straight to the point without the annoying stories others tell
Thank you!
One of the best building explainer videos I’ve seen. Rare to find someone that produces great work and produces a great video. Usually the skills will be one or the other. Well done. 👏👏👏

Thanks for detailed and easy to follow patio build vids 👍. Followed and subscribed
Btw, how many inch of pitch per feet?
@@txreal2 thank you! The pitch is .5/12 meaning that this patio is 12 feet long and from the ledger to the beam the rafters sit on, is a 6 inch drop.
The developers/builders in the PHX area are hacks who dont care. Its criminal the way they build for that climate. Shade should be always included. You are doing a great service for the homeowners, and for the environment. Horton Homes Builder is the absolute worst!
Thank you. It’s a real shame that they can sell a house without a basic shade. Older homes are always nicer and feel well lived in.
Great video and instructions. For the Joist/truss hanger to the ledger board i can only see this part from HD. Simpson Strong-Tie
LUS ZMAX Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger for 2x6 Nominal Lumber.
Your ledger hangers 2x6 wrap over the top of the ledger board. which i do like better, do you know if they carry at Home Depot?
Here are the ones from the video. You can use either one you like. I personally like the ones in the video, although you need to take into account the 1/4 height increase, which is the most common complaint about them.
www.homedepot.com/p/Simpson-Strong-Tie-PF-18-Gauge-Galvanized-Post-Frame-Hanger-for-2x6-Nominal-Lumber-PF26/100374865
well explained video.
my only question is how locate the top plate to know where to cut the stucco wall?
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.
He cut right into shear panels. Plus he cut stucco paper and didn’t patch the paper overlap. Leaks for ever. Dont let this guy do your job.
Thank you for letting me know.
If I was the owner I would go the extra cost for some type of ceiling finish, maybe some type of tongue and groove. OSB painted looks terrible. Great job thanks for sharing.
Most people will choose to do a drywall ceiling, which could easily be done to this type of patio as the outer fascia boards are slightly taller which means the ceiling will be recessed in and not flush. Thank you for watching my video.
Awesome video. I live in AZ as well. So I wonder what the cost are.
Thank you. It’s about $4,000 labor and $2,500 materials
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
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.
Is a 4" slab enough to support that? We just did a very similar build with only 2 posts (16' wide x 12' deep x 8' tall) and dug and poured footers for the 4x6 posts we used. Used 2 9.5" LVLs for the ledgers. Looks great man!
The plans you get from the city here have a page where it says you do need a footer for brand new concrete slabs. This lab was poured with the footers for the posts marked out. Your patio sounds nice as well.
This is a great video man. Thank you for posting. What size is the seat of the z flashing you are installing? Where did you buy it from? I'm from Colorado and I can't find it anywhere. Thanks! Great content!
Thank you! This is the link to the Home Depot page for the material. Please let me know if you were able to open and see it.

@luisangelmedia4459 thank you so much! It worked. I'm a big fan. I watched your video like ten times already. You make it look easy!
@@129dannytran thank you, I’m happy to help.
Nice work... So how expensive is a job that size? And should the patio cover be built before the concrete is pored?
Thank you! $4,000 labor, $2,500 materials. Concrete should definitely be poured first, but not an absolute requirement. These numbers do not include price of concrete, but that’s probably a $3k - $5k job.
Awesome video bro, liked and subscribed. I'm about to take on a patio 48x12. I've been looking online to get some pointers as I've never done one. What size and type of screws did u use to hang the hangers.
Thank you. For construction, I find that GRK brand screws are the best. These are the ones I used

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
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.
@@luisangelmedia4459 YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!! THANSK SO MUCH !!!! DONT EVER CHANGE !!!! SUBSCRIBED AND LIKE A MILLION TIMES> THANKS AGAIN
@@FreedomWanderer-hk3hc thank you!
This is great. I’ve been wanting to install something like that on my house here in California. What’s the average price for something like that?
Thank you. Here in Phoenix, this was $2,500 materials and $4,000 labor.
thanks for the video its very helpful would like to ask how much would a 40x12 cost? also could you use pavers?
Thank you. A patio that size, and only considering the roof structure, not concrete or the paving, would be closer to $5,500 labor and $3,000 materials. And no, you cannot put this roof over pavers, you need to have footings where the posts will go.
@@luisangelmedia4459 thanks for responding wish you was in FL hard to find people that don’t over charge in my area muchas gracias.! 💪🏼
@@vaderfx4 you’re welcome, thank you for checking out my video and I hope you find someone you can trust to help you out.
Great video, Luis! I thought this was something I might attempt DIY, until you cut into the stucco. Lol!
Can you tell me the measurements of the foundation?
Cutting the stucco can be intimidating, but just need to measure everything twice and even a third time before taking the grinder to the stucco. The concrete pad is 32 x 10 feet.
@@luisangelmedia4459 Not much different than mine...10'x28'
Can you share the wood sizes for this great project
Vertical posts are 4x6, horizontal beams are 4x8, rafters are 2x6 12 feet long. The fascia is a nominal size of 2x7
My hat off to you !!! I only had trouble with mexican workers . You are above and beyond of them all ! God Bless !
Thank you! Tell those Mexican workers que se pongan las pilas
So do the spacers just float in there? They don't get secured in any way other than the friction?
Yeah they are just small metal clips that go between the boards. However, they actually fit very tightly on the board, plus if you use this self adhering material, the base sheet gets glued down on them too.
Hi bro! Ese patio cover es de 35ft ? Luce como de 25ft. Btw excelente video keep it up
Gracias. Sí, el patio mide 35 pies y se mira más chico porque es de 12 de largo cuando normalmente se hacen de 8 o 10 aquí
Never , never cut the plywood, now the house has a hinge point between upper and lower floor. The ledge can be install it on top of the plywood.
The plywood did not extend across the entire span of the house, only bellow the windows.
What is the best way to find the decider for the top plate? How far up from the first floor?
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.
Im also in Phoenix and thinking of extending my back patio. Do you have to get city perms for something like this? Assuming you do?
The truth is that yes, you should be going to the city and filling out an application, but the honest truth is that most homeowners will not get a permit and hundreds of these patios have been built without one.
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.
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.
This is my 2nd reply, please the 1st one. You can see the spacer board at 2:28 the z bar flashing sits on top of this.
@@luisangelmedia4459 makes sense thanks for the fast reply. How often would we need to re apply sealant to the two side edges where the stucco meets the flashing?
@@robertrenier1709 if you are precise with your measurements and you only applied a small bead, then I doubt it will ever crack and need maintenance, but if you ended up with a large gap, like more than 1/2, then it’s something you will need to keep an eye on to make sure it does not crack.
@@luisangelmedia4459 sounds good 👍
Hello Luis, is there another way to keep the L flashing in place other than with the cap sheet adhesive? With no Z bar flashing..
With screws and silicone, but this would not be ideal nor would I recommend it.
@@luisangelmedia4459 ok thanks, it just seems like the flashing is not sticking to the cap sheet very well..
@@josedanielpa are you talking about this build or did you do something similar? In this video the L flashing is barely able to move across the cap sheet adhesive. But let’s say that it was loose, I would add a layer of the Henry black tar or silicone bellow the flashing and above the cap sheet to create a better bond. Maybe even add a spacer if my roof was too low and there was a big gap.
@@luisangelmedia4459 I did something similar, ok thanks for the idea! I appreciate it
On the L flashing and Z flashing, could you get away with only doing L flashing?
It can be possible, although not recommended. The Z bar is important to make sure water does not return back into the stucco.
I would love to see you do a patio using compression joints no nails or screws
Maybe one day that opportunity will come up. Would love to do that in the forests of northern Arizona.
@@luisangelmedia4459 yeah, I would love to see it in Phoenix.

How much was the permit for the build? I live in Tucson and was just trying to get a idea of what to expect.
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.
Do you do this for a living? I’m interested in doing this to my house in SanTan.
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.

How do you waterproof the sides of the Ledger board?
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.
how much should something like this cost? including roughly the same size layout and patio space?
$4,000 for labor and $2,500 materials.
Were those 4x6 posts?
& if so what was the spacing in between the posts?
Yes, they were 4x6 posts. I have a private video that I did for someone regarding posts distance. Tap “read more”

How were you able to cut the stucco so straight?
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.
Definitely would not have cut out the buildings sheer structure, think you called it plywood in the way of the ledger😂 and hopefully there were footings underneath that freshly poured patio where your posts went. All things you should know if you’re a licensed contractor 😢 otherwise build was par for the course. Be careful who you hire people.
Thank you for the feedback.
Licensed contractors higher guys like this to go do the work😒
He cut aprox 16’ of osb out of the “sheer” and replaced with 2x materials 😒
And for the footings, do you really think 4” slab is going to fail from supporting maybe 250lbs at the points of contact?😒
In AZ and no snow loads…. I’m sure it’ll last for the life of the house.
Be careful if you are a licensed contractor that’s a lawsuit waiting to happen now.
Come on, Mr. Profesional. 😂😂😂
I was about to reply the same. You voided structural warrant cutting into sheer panel. Also the patio being so big you should have cut out concrete and poured your own footings. Hope this helps…
i need this done at my home.... what does something like this cost? parts and labor?
It was about $2,500 materials and at that time, $4,000 labor.
How do you know what the pitch/slope should be ??
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.
Why didn’t you go over the stucco with the ledger?
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.
What’s the best way to measure for the top plate? Measure inside first?
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.
@@luisangelmedia4459 thank you bro. I appreciate it your video was amazing

How long did this build take you?
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.
I need a 10x12 patio, you still do this in the phx area?
You can send me an email at luisangelmedia@gmail.com
Hi Luis! Can I ask you about attach patio cover?
Hello. Yes, you can ask me anything. Or did you mean ask me to see work that you have?
How much total material cost would you be looking at for something like this.
The materials for this was $2,500 back when it was built.
What type of wood are you using?
Nothing fancy. Just Douglas fir or whatever wood Home Depot happens to sell in bulk.
How much does something like this goes for?
$2,500 materials, $4,000 labor
How much is cost the labor of this work??
This patio was about $2,500 materials and $4,000 labor.
How much would something like this cost ?
Materials were about $2,500 and labor would change depending your area, but I would guess minimum around $4,000.
how long did this take to build?
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.
@@luisangelmedia4459 nice! Thanks!

How much did the build cost you?
It was about $2,500 materials and $4,000 labor.

Nice video. You don’t need footing for the posts? I am thinking of building a 35 foot one. But I don’t think I should cut out my stucco. I don’t want to expose the house structure to termites and the elements. I am just going to bolt the ledger board on top of the stucco. What do you think?
Thank you! For new concrete yes, if it’s an older pad, it needs to be 4 inches thick and no cracks. Mounting the ledger board to the stucco is a bad idea. Also, termites don’t get into the house from the surface, they dig under your house and crawl up once they find soft wood. Be careful about mounting ledger board to stucco.
Why be careful with attaching ledger board to stucco ?
@@sdyoda because you don’t mount the ledger board to the stucco.
