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.

@@davidhigdon8238 yes, you will need to cut the black paper.

@@susyfierros it’s a roll of waterproofing material similar to the base sheet, but used on things like window installs, has multiple uses. It’s not necessary to add this and this is the only time we did it simply because my dad wanted to have more sturdier seams between each board when walking on top of it.
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.
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.
We did not use any treated lumber. One year later I painted this patio a solid color to match the rest of the house. I did another patio and they also painted it. It’s usually recommended to paint or seal the wood after installing to lengthen the life of the wood.
You can use any material that will comply with weight rating similar to OSB among other things. My city has the specs for this patio build with OSB, so you need to match that or exceed it with whatever else you are intending to use.
@@luisangelmedia4459 it's cool, did you have to get a permit from the city to build. I read they need a design plan but I was quoted $3k for a design alone.

All my neighbors had patios and my backyard neighbor had one built and I copied everyone to make it look "similar" no issues yet.
Yes, a very small angle cut was made because the rafters are sloping down, so without the angle cut, it will not sit perfectly against the rafter hangers on the ledger board**( it used to say fascia)

I'm doing something myself, don't want to cut into the stucco, our hottest gets over 100, but not often. What would you recommend for flashing? I understand cutting stucco is best but all the contractors I got bids from did not want to do this.
@@EricRodriguez-u2k if you’re not cutting into the stucco, then just put a normal L flashing from the stucco to the top of the roofing material and seal it with silicone. Be prepared to seal it with silicone or caulking every summer though as it’s going to be your only way to keep the water out.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 🙏🏽
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
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 ?
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
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.
@@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.
You can use a square on both sides of the beam to mark where the notch will go and then use a marker and run it along the beam to mark the line on the stud. Let me know if this what you asked.
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.

I live in a HOA neighborhood, I know I gotta get approval from them but I was wondering when you mentioned the city code, do I need to get a city inspector to check it or get any permits to do this? I live in TX
For Glendale, AZ I simply went to the office (forgot what department) and filled out an application and took home a packet which contained all the information needed for the beams and rafters, hardware and roof info. HOA also gave me the limitations of my patio such as, I needed to have at least 50% of my backyard still left uncovered, which means, I could not build out further than 10 feet from the house.
Absolutely beautiful job. I have a question: my house is old but has great bones. I can't find the studs to anchor the ledger. Can I use the self expanding concrete bolts (5/16, 1/2, etc.)? Thanks so much Angel
If your house is made of masonry blocks, look at my most recent video I just uploaded, it’s a patio on a house with concrete blocks and eaves. Your ledger board needs to be anchored to something structural of your house. You can try uploading a picture somewhere and sharing it with me to see what’s going on.
You want to stay at least 6 to 12 inches away from the edge of the concrete. I have a video explaining the posts. ua-cam.com/video/C-FREXA03x0/v-deo.html
Very nice work. I'm planning on building something similar 15x30 but instead of a ledger board I'll building into the roof and on top of the wall. But I had a question about the post. Is there a reason why u went with 4x6 instead of a 4x4 post? Is it code to use 4x6?
The schedule tables provided to me by the city did not tell me specifically what size post to get, but I went with a 4x6 instead of 4x4 because I thought it would make for a “stronger” post and I like the look of a wider post.

All my neighbors had patios and my backyard neighbor had one built and I copied everyone to make it look "similar" no issues yet.
@@luisangelmedia4459 thanks for the info, that's really helpful.
@@VICMANROQ you are welcome and thank you for checking out my video.
Did you have to cut the rafters to connect to the brackets on the ledger board.
Yes, a very small angle cut was made because the rafters are sloping down, so without the angle cut, it will not sit perfectly against the rafter hangers on the ledger board**( it used to say fascia)
@@luisangelmedia4459 Did you use a bracket to connect the first rafter or how did you attach it. I don't see a bracket
@@iroc2019 you can see the first rafter (which is actually the fascia board) with the bracket at 5:21

I'm doing something myself, don't want to cut into the stucco, our hottest gets over 100, but not often. What would you recommend for flashing? I understand cutting stucco is best but all the contractors I got bids from did not want to do this.
@@EricRodriguez-u2k if you’re not cutting into the stucco, then just put a normal L flashing from the stucco to the top of the roofing material and seal it with silicone. Be prepared to seal it with silicone or caulking every summer though as it’s going to be your only way to keep the water out.
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.
thank you so much this is one of the best video thanks again
Thank you!
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.
@@luisangelmedia4459 Awesome, Thank you for the reply!
@@tmax450 thank you as well for watching the video!
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.

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.

How did you make the notch cuts where the rafter boards meet the frame?
It will be easier if you take a look at this video at the 5:32 mark
ua-cam.com/video/jEY4WI4uWwg/v-deo.html
What would happen if you just attached ledger board on stucco without cutting stucco?
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 🙏🏽
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

Los postes verticales son de 4x6 y como 7 pies de alto. Los horizontales son 4x8, 10 pies los de en medio y 12 pies los de alado.
Muchas gracias Luis! Muy buen trabajo el que haces.
@@arturomejia2901 gracias a usted también.
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 ?
Thank you for your comment. I left the flashing exposed. If you want to hide it better, you can always paint it the color of the house.
AWESOME JOB GUYS!
Thank you!
Very impressive mate👍
Thank you!
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
You want it on top of the concrete and on top of a post base. And no, concrete is still good, this is what it’s made for.
Gracias por el buen vídeo que hicieron. Following. 👍🏽

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.
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 “Liberty GAF”
@@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.
Nice job!!
Thank you!
Thanks for the trhis video...How do you cut the notch on the 2x4's to mount on top of the rafters?
You can use a square on both sides of the beam to mark where the notch will go and then use a marker and run it along the beam to mark the line on the stud. Let me know if this what you asked.
Great job. San Diego, CA.
Thank you!

Tengo una pregunta
Cuanto declive le pusiste al techo?
Gracias
Gracias. El techo tiene .5/12 de inclinación. Es decir, por cada 12 pulgadas, baja media (1/2) pulgada o en este caso, 6 pulgadas. Puedo bajar hasta un cuarto (.25/12) con este tipo de material y sobretodo, aquí en Phoenix no llueve mucho y está al código requerido.
@@luisangelmedia4459 gracias
Yo hare uno en los proximos diaz en tu casa(Chicago)aqui me piden que los postes vallan 36 pulgadas bajo tierra porque hace mucho frio
Y la tierra se mueve con en calor y el frio,saludos
Una ultima pregunta que altura te piden para que este a codigo?
@@surfacegrindingmachine5894 la única altura que es requerida es al final donde está el 4x8 horizontal. Se necesita 7 pies abiertos del piso al 4x8 de la parte de abajo. Te deseo buena suerte en tu proyecto.

Ya tengo el permiso,pero no creas que expecifican mucho
Es interesante como cambian los codigos de una ciudad a otra
Yo pondre los postes de 6x6 pero tienen que estar cubiertos de concreto 46 pulgadas 36 pulgadas bajo tierra y 12 sobre la tierra
Saludos hermano
@@surfacegrindingmachine5894 yo creo que tiene que ver con el frío y la nieve que caí en esos estados que hace que vayan cambiando los códigos. Dios te bendiga.
I live in a HOA neighborhood, I know I gotta get approval from them but I was wondering when you mentioned the city code, do I need to get a city inspector to check it or get any permits to do this? I live in TX
For Glendale, AZ I simply went to the office (forgot what department) and filled out an application and took home a packet which contained all the information needed for the beams and rafters, hardware and roof info. HOA also gave me the limitations of my patio such as, I needed to have at least 50% of my backyard still left uncovered, which means, I could not build out further than 10 feet from the house.
Absolutely beautiful job. I have a question: my house is old but has great bones. I can't find the studs to anchor the ledger. Can I use the self expanding concrete bolts (5/16, 1/2, etc.)? Thanks so much Angel
If your house is made of masonry blocks, look at my most recent video I just uploaded, it’s a patio on a house with concrete blocks and eaves. Your ledger board needs to be anchored to something structural of your house. You can try uploading a picture somewhere and sharing it with me to see what’s going on.
Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you as well for watching my video!
Some cities don't let you cut the 2x6 rafters or joist because it loose the tickness of 2 x6
That’s good to know. One should always check they are building according to the city specifications.

Hi,
Just curious as to which method you used to place your outer posts?
You want to stay at least 6 to 12 inches away from the edge of the concrete. I have a video explaining the posts.

I see posts are put on 4inch concrete. Is it according to the code?
If you go look at part 1, the posts are on top of 12”x12” footings, about 2 feet deep. I buried a 5/8” bolt for the post base.
Very nice work. I'm planning on building something similar 15x30 but instead of a ledger board I'll building into the roof and on top of the wall. But I had a question about the post. Is there a reason why u went with 4x6 instead of a 4x4 post? Is it code to use 4x6?
The schedule tables provided to me by the city did not tell me specifically what size post to get, but I went with a 4x6 instead of 4x4 because I thought it would make for a “stronger” post and I like the look of a wider post.
@@luisangelmedia4459I see. Thank you for the quick response.
