Renaissance Patio Moderno Insulated Aluminum Cover | New Concrete Pad Poured and Cured Before Install
This Legend Oaks project added a Renaissance Patio cover in the Moderno line, built on a new concrete pad we poured before install. We chose the aluminum Moderno system because it shrugs off 100-degree heat, hail, and cedar pollen with almost no upkeep. The two-day build finished on November 25 and gave the homeowner a shaded outdoor space that stays cool. It's a strong option for anyone searching for durable patio covers in Austin, TX.

This homeowner had already worked with Austin Pro on their siding earlier in 2024, so they came back to us directly. They reached out on September 4, 2024 about adding a patio cover to their Legend Oaks backyard.
We assessed the backyard and quickly saw the existing slab wouldn't support the planned cover. The full southern exposure and limestone-heavy soil also shaped how we approached footings and post anchoring.
The project was approved the same day it came in, on September 4, 2024. We specced the Renaissance Patio Moderno system with insulated aluminum panels and planned a new concrete pad as the first phase.
Our concrete partner poured a fresh, properly sized pad and we let it cure fully before building. The crew then set posts, framed the cover, and installed the insulated panels over two full days, finishing November 25, 2024.
We walked the finished cover with the homeowner and cleaned up the site the same day the build wrapped. The project invoiced on November 25 and closed out on January 9, 2025, leaving a shaded, low-maintenance patio ready for Austin summers.
We installed a Renaissance Patio Moderno cover on this Legend Oaks home in Austin, poured over a brand-new concrete pad we set first. The result is a clean, low-maintenance shade structure built for Central Texas heat.
The backyard had no real shade, so the space went unused most of the summer. In 78749, afternoon sun can push surface temps past what anyone wants to sit in.
The homeowner wanted a permanent structure, not a fabric awning that fades and sags. A hard cover made more sense here for both comfort and value.
Here's the part homeowners often get wrong. A patio cover is only as solid as what it stands on, and the old slab wasn't sized or thick enough to anchor the posts safely. Austin's limestone-heavy soil shifts with wet and dry cycles, so footings matter more here than in many other markets. We poured a fresh pad through our concrete partner, then waited several days for it to fully cure before touching the cover. Rushing that step is how you end up with cracked slabs and posts that pull loose down the road.
Waiting felt slow, but it's the difference between a cover that lasts and one that fails. The extra time protects the whole structure.
The Moderno is an insulated aluminum patio cover with a flat, modern roofline. We picked it for this home because aluminum won't rot, warp, or feed termites the way wood can. The insulated panels also cut down radiant heat, so the space under the cover stays noticeably cooler on triple-digit days. Hail bounces off it, and cedar pollen rinses away with a hose instead of soaking in. For a low-fuss cover that still looks sharp against the home's exterior, it was the right call.
Once the pad cured, the crew set posts, framed the structure, and locked in the insulated panels over two working days. The build wrapped on November 25, right on schedule.
Because we'd already done the siding on this home months earlier, we knew the exterior and could tie the cover in cleanly. That history made the whole job smoother.
The homeowner ended up with a shaded, functional patio that's ready for Austin summers and won't need constant upkeep. The cover matches the exterior work we'd done before, so it reads as part of the house.
The cover itself went up in two full days. The bigger factor was the concrete pad, which needed several days to cure before we could build on it.
Aluminum doesn't rot, warp, or attract termites, and it laughs off hail and cedar pollen. Wood looks nice but demands sealing and repair, especially under 100-degree sun.
This build fell in the $30k–$40k range. That included the new concrete pad, the Renaissance Moderno system, and two days of install labor.
We do, and this homeowner is one of them. We'd handled their siding earlier in 2024, which is part of why the patio cover came together so smoothly.
