Thank you for a clearly explained video. I appreciate the detail you went into talking about the right way to do the flashing. I'm doing research before adding a porch to my house and the flashing was a concern. Kudos to you and your dad for the level of professionalism you put into little details.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I made sure to put in as much information because those were some of the things I had struggle with as well. I made several calls and searched online for the “appropriate” and “correct” ways to perform each step. I just wanted to show people accurate information. I’m glad you found it helpful!
Beautiful work bro! Thank you for sharing! I love Arizona a ton! I hope that you and the family enjoy this terraza for many years to come! Cheers from sunny Puerto Rico!
Thank you for watching my video. The process can be challenging and concerning, be sure to measure twice and you will be okay. Look out for electrical and water pipes going through the wooden studs.
These videos are great man, really appreciate you taking the time to do this. I am getting ready to build a patio onto my house and I didn't wan't to cut into the stucco, but it sounds like this is the correct way to do it. Good job getting the help from the wise old men as well haha
David Higdon thank you so much for the feedback! I wish you good luck on your project and make sure to measure twice before you cut into the stucco. You will feel glad you did it right the first time.
@@luisangelmedia4459 Can I ask how difficult it was to install the first piece of z bar flashing? It looks like you install the z bar before you put up the 2x6 ledger. Just wondering how difficult it is to cut into the black paper and slide the first piece of Z flashing up behind the paper?
David Higdon It all depends on how many nails or staples you find between the stucco and the studs. We used long and thin tools like drywall knives or masonry trowel and a hammer to cut the staples or nails. If there is a stubborn nail, you can cut back the Z bar where it hits up against the nail.
@@luisangelmedia4459 when you installed the z bar flashing above the ledger, did you slice into the existing black paper and then slide the z bar flashing up behind the paper? I am getting ready to cut into my stucco to install the ledger board and I am just trying to decide the best way to do this before I get started.
@@davidhigdon8238 yes, you will need to cut the black paper. I was also hesitant on this, but you will see that you need to pull or ram a few of the stucco nails and staples in order to get the Z bar flashing up behind the stucco. The paper will get damaged in this process so, might as well put the Z bar behind the paper.
I do this at my job, i learned a thing or two on your video. Your attention to detail, is something else. Not gonna lie I was a bit sloppy on my work. Thank you for posting this. I subbed.
O wow, super nice and well done, thank you very much for sharing this how to video with all of us, now I know what project I'll be doing next summer to my home, thanks a million.
Thank you. And no, here in Phoenix, Arizona, the city did not require me to add anything to the osb except for the paper or in this case, the base sheet roll and the cap sheet.
I have been searching for a video like this...the best step by step video I have seen. You guys did a fantastic job. May I ask what was the approximate cost in material for this job?
Thank you! If you liked this video, I’m uploading a similar, but bigger and better video tomorrow afternoon mountain time. Materials were roughly $2,500.
8:21 Luis, the seams between the osb boards have been taped over with some product. I read we can use duct tape but it doesn’t stick well. What are you using? Thank you for your help
@@Michael-vi2se hello there, nice catch on that. My dad actually used window flashing tape that he had leftover from another job. It’s absolutely not needed and he just wanted somewhere meaningful to use up the rest of it. I’ve built many of these patios and we never done that before.
It’s common practice to cut the first section shorter so that when you lay down the cap sheet on top of the base sheet, the seams are not on top of each other which causes a small bump. Each section is overlap 4-6 inches, shown by the markings on the sheet and the glue that is already on the seam.
@@danieldresser9368 Thank you. The common thing to do after you finish the patio is to start adding the insulation and drywall. If you don’t want drywall, you can do plaster as well or any decorative wood.
When you did this did you tie the ledger board to an actual wall stud or did you attach it to the side facing bottom tie beam of the truss to get extra height? Looking to do something similar to this soon so curious how it should be done.
@@DustinWofford the ledger board is commonly attached to the top plate, that’s the two 2x4 stacked sideways running across the span of the house, but for this build, I went up a bit higher and I attached it to the vertical 2x4 studs.
You would eventually have leaks and no matter what sealant you use, it will crack and it would be a yearly routine to try and seal the gap between the stucco and patio roof.
What if my current eves cover the ledger board ? Is is ok to attach ledger board to stucco ? I’ll admit, trying to find studs behind stucco has become a big hurdle in beginning this patio cover project. Thank you for all your valuable videos 🙏🏽
It looks fantastic so far. I like videos that shows the steps with the thought process. I'm thinking of doing this over our patio. I'll feel more confidence as I go over this a few times. Thank you for this video and I'll be looking for the rest. 👍💯. Sub & Like!!! ❤️
First of all, great video Luis. Question for you, are all the studs in your home (where you installed the ledger) running vertical or were they slightly angled? How do you think these studs are installed in a typical AZ home?
Yes, all the studs are vertical. But I have another video just like this, except that instead of the vertical studs, I anchored it to the top plate. Here is the video. ua-cam.com/video/jEY4WI4uWwg/v-deo.html
Your craftsmanship is on point my friend. One thing I will criticize though, why spend all that time and money on the new concrete and water proofing but opt for using OSB ply to sheet the roof when it’s all exposed?? Unless you plan on adding some kind of soffit to cover it up, you should have gone with ccx paint grade ply or v-rustic T&G. Overall good work though.
Thank you for the suggestion. And yes we are going to be covering up the patio. The posts will get stucco to match the house and the OSB and rafters are getting covered with drywall and everything painted. We just couldn’t do it all at once as this was already a lot of work and expenses to cover. But that is what is next for this patio!
Great job on the ledger board. For those of us with stucco homes and no existing roof rafters to tie into, you showed the right way to do it. I've been planning my own build and i couldn't find any videos for weeks that showed the removal of the stucco to expose the rim joists and/or blocking. I can't understand why no one does it this way. Most patio covers in southern california are just screwed into the stucco and I'm assuming they're guessing that they're hitting joists/studs. Only question I have for you is did you just leave the 2" of flashing exposed above the roof or did you try and patch it with stucco ?

@@dog_biter check out this other video I made for someone asking a similar question and let me know if it helps. ua-cam.com/video/C-FREXA03x0/v-deo.html
This is a great video. I have been watching this multiple times before I try and attempt it on my own house. My only concern is the flashing. Toward the beginning of the video you said you put the Z flashing over the paper but towards the end you said you put it behind the paper. Did you end up cuting into paper and put the flashing under it? Thanks.
Yes that’s correct, I had to cut the paper anyways because it was in the way and so I could see exactly what was behind the paper. So then I was able to put the Z flashing behind the paper, basically behind everything.
I replied earlier but made a mistake and I thought this was the other patio video I uploaded. Back when I did this I spent about $1500-1700 including the cost of the concrete. We did all the work so No labor work was paid. I recently did a similar patio like mine and it came to about $3,500 labor and $2,500 materials.
Beautiful work. Did the concrete crack from the weight of the covering? That’s what I’m deciding on still. To either put the beams in the ground or on top of the concrete
Could you not have used Reglet flashing instead of removing that section of stucco? I've seen many jobs where they just cut a notch into the stucco with a grinder and the Reglet flashing gets pushed into the notch, sealing it up so no water intrusion gets behind the stucco or the ledger board.
I supposed you could open up a slit if the flashing you are referring to is meant to be used in such purpose, but I would ask myself if you are already opening a slit, why not just open enough to put the ledger board and flashing in there.
Amazing job Luis. Can you help those who aren't very familiar with flashing? How do you attach the Z-flashing to the house? How is the L-flashing then attached to the z-flashing? Thanks for your assistance! Your work is impressive!
With the stucco cut back like I did, you feed and tuck the z flashing underneath the stucco and whatever is under the stucco as well such as foam insulation. The Z flashing looks more like an “N” so once you have one side tuck under the stucco, the L feeds under the other lip of the z flashing and the roof under the L. So you have one “seamless” transition where water cannot possibly get into. Hope this helps.
Thank you, the size of the ledger board is a normal 2x6 and 10 feet long, but you cut them to the lengths you need the boards to cover the span of the house.
It was nice to hear you the pride you took in your father's work. Did you have any experience drawing up a project like this or did you hire someone for the plans?
Well the design was fairly simple, just following what the city told me to do for their building schedule in terms of rafters, posts and beams. As for the overall dimensions, I picked sizes that would be easy to work with, for example 32 feet was the biggest I could go along the house and fit 4 4x8 boards. I just made sure to have common sizes for the material I would use.
Great video, Sir! This is exactly what I want to build! Two questions: what did you use to attach the Z bar flashing to the house and ledger? And what did you use to attach the L flashing to the Z bar/plywood? Keep up the great work!
I’m happy you found the video helpful. Right above the ledger board I placed a 1”x”3 board which the Z flashing sits on top off. The L flashing butts up against that 1x3 and behind the Z flashing overlap. And they both get anchored together to the 1x3 which is attached to the 2x4s of the house like the ledger board.
@@luisangelmedia4459 Thanks! ...but you may have to make a part 3 to your awesome build to explain, in further detail, the flashing installation. I just want to make sure that I did it within the same way to prevent water intrusion.
@@tommy2shoes339 look at the link I gave you. The “spacer” is the 1x3 I said previously. That sits on top of the ledger and everything else in the picture gets placed in that similar manner.
@@HueNguyen-sh2dv You can get them from both stores. However, you need to go to one of the stores that sells this material, usually the store where most contractors buy as not every single store carries the material in stock.
Hi, Luis thank you for such a great video. I also live in Laveen Az I do have a patio already but need to extend it I want to do it myself is there any way I can do it without cutting into the stucco? I will appreciate your advice or if that is your profession too we can talk hopefully I can afford thanks
If you don’t want to touch the stucco, you can try finding the studs from inside of your house with a stud finder and use a tiny, but long drill bit to drill through the drywall and out of the stucco to mark the location of the studs. Your ledger board needs to be absolutely solid, so this is why you need to anchor it to something with lots of meat on it like the studs. Your ledger board supports all the weight of your patio on that side. For more information, email me at luisangelmedia@gmail.com
The price of lumber has increased dramatically since I did this job. Expect to pay at least $2,500 in materials and about $4,000 labor. Hope this helps.

With the stucco cut back like I did, you feed and tuck the z flashing underneath the stucco and whatever is under the stucco as well such as foam insulation. The Z flashing looks more like an “N” so once you have one side tuck under the stucco, the L feeds under the other lip of the z flashing and the roof under the L. So you have one “seamless” transition where water cannot possibly get into. Hope this helps.
Are you in Southern California?
I’m in Phoenix Arizona.
Great vid. What’s the size of the ledger board? Thanks.
Thank you, the size of the ledger board is a normal 2x6 and 10 feet long, but you cut them to the lengths you need the boards to cover the span of the house.
It was nice to hear you the pride you took in your father's work. Did you have any experience drawing
up a project like this or did you hire someone for the plans?
Well the design was fairly simple, just following what the city told me to do for their building schedule in terms of rafters, posts and beams. As for the overall dimensions, I picked sizes that would be easy to work with, for example 32 feet was the biggest I could go along the house and fit 4 4x8 boards. I just made sure to have common sizes for the material I would use.
I'm asking because I am looking to get this done at my house

Hello Luis. Where are you guys located?
Phoenix, Arizona.
Wow...wish you were in L.A. Good work!
@@perrajedionda I wish you find someone that can help you in your area. Good luck!
Great video, Sir! This is exactly what I want to build!
Two questions: what did you use to attach the Z bar flashing to the house and ledger? And what did you use to attach the L flashing to the Z bar/plywood?
Keep up the great work!
I’m happy you found the video helpful. Right above the ledger board I placed a 1”x”3 board which the Z flashing sits on top off. The L flashing butts up against that 1x3 and behind the Z flashing overlap. And they both get anchored together to the 1x3 which is attached to the 2x4s of the house like the ledger board.

Thanks! ...but you may have to make a part 3 to your awesome build to explain, in further detail, the flashing installation. I just want to make sure that I did it within the same way to prevent water intrusion.

@@tommy2shoes339 look at the link I gave you. The “spacer” is the 1x3 I said previously. That sits on top of the ledger and everything else in the picture gets placed in that similar manner.

Thank you, again!
Hi Luis
Do have a list of all the material that you used?
I do, but it’s quite long. You could follow the video and take notes on all the stuff used, or give me your email to send a list if you’d like.
What's the brand name of the adhesive roll and cap sheet?
Also can I get it from home depot or Lowes?

@@HueNguyen-sh2dv You can get them from both stores. However, you need to go to one of the stores that sells this material, usually the store where most contractors buy as not every single store carries the material in stock.
SI SE PUEDE MIJO
Claro que sí!
Hi, Luis thank you for such a great video. I also live in Laveen Az I do have a patio already but need to extend it I want to do it myself is there any way I can do it without cutting into the stucco? I will appreciate your advice or if that is your profession too we can talk hopefully I can afford thanks
If you don’t want to touch the stucco, you can try finding the studs from inside of your house with a stud finder and use a tiny, but long drill bit to drill through the drywall and out of the stucco to mark the location of the studs. Your ledger board needs to be absolutely solid, so this is why you need to anchor it to something with lots of meat on it like the studs. Your ledger board supports all the weight of your patio on that side. For more information, email me at luisangelmedia@gmail.com
Thanks a lot, I will email you when am about to start I appreciate your reply, keep up the good work
@@peteradjei199 thank you
@@luisangelmedia4459 just sent you an email
What size z flashing did you use and where did you get it from ?
www.homedepot.com/p/Gibraltar-Building-Products-1-in-x-10-ft-Bonderized-Steel-Z-Bar-Flashing-ZB6B/202218458
The Home Depot link says 1 inch, but I think they also sell one thats 2.5 inches on the bottom and 3 inches on the top.
Great job 👏! Just curious, how much will cost me this job ?
The price of lumber has increased dramatically since I did this job. Expect to pay at least $2,500 in materials and about $4,000 labor. Hope this helps.
@@luisangelmedia4459 thank you! I leave in Las Vegas, and we have the same houses here… a lot of work
