What We Did
Renaissance Moderno Aluminum Patio Cover Installation · Full Exterior Siding Replacement with Sherwin Williams Paint Finish
Shingle Roofing
This Austin shingle roofing job started with a full tear-off and haul-away of the old comp shingles. We laid GAF FeltBuster synthetic underlayment and StormGuard ice and water shield before installing GAF Timberline HDZ asphalt shingles. The steep 8/12 pitch needed added labor and safety steps, plus fresh drip edge and pipe flashing. Cobra Rigid Vent 3 ridge venting now helps the attic breathe through Central Texas summers.

This siding project in Austin, TX used James Hardie HardiePlank Select Cedar Mill boards at 8.25 inches wide. We installed the fiber cement siding over multiple days once the new windows were set, then painted for a finished look. Fiber cement resists the swelling and rot that plague older siding in our humid, storm-prone climate. The Cedar Mill texture gives this Maple Run home a crisp wood-grain look without the upkeep.

For this patio cover in Austin, TX, we started with a fresh concrete slab poured by our concrete crew. After giving the slab a few days to set, we installed a Renaissance Patio Moderno cover over two days. The insulated aluminum panels block the harsh sun and shed rain without sagging or fading. It turns a bare slab into shaded outdoor living space that handles 100-degree summers with ease.

For this window replacement in Austin, TX, we fit new Pella windows early in the project timeline. We set them before the siding work so the fresh HardiePlank could wrap each opening for a clean, weathertight seal. Modern windows help block heat and lower cooling bills through our 100-degree stretches. Doing them first also avoids the gaps you get when windows go in after new siding.

How It Went
The Journey
From the first phone call to the final walkthrough — what actually happened on this project.
First contact
July 1, 2024This project came to us as a customer referral, with first contact on July 1, 2024. The homeowner wanted to tackle several exterior needs at once, including a worn 1990s exterior and a missing patio shade structure. We started scoping the project just two days later, on July 3.
Evaluation
We walked the home to scope all three trades together: siding, roofing, and a new patio cover. The roof needed a full replacement on a steep 8/12 pitch with two-story access. We also confirmed the back patio would need a fresh concrete slab before any cover could be set.
Planning & approval
July 25, 2024After the assessment, we mapped out the material selections and the order the trades would run in. The homeowner approved the project on July 25, 2024. Selections included the Renaissance Moderno aluminum cover, GAF Timberline HDZ SG shingles, and Sherwin Williams paint for the siding.
Installation
Work started with the new windows, then siding removal and installation across multiple days beginning in mid-October, followed by paint. The shingle roof went on next, then a local crew poured the patio slab. After giving the concrete a few days to cure, we set the Renaissance patio cover over two days.
Completion
November 7, 2024All work wrapped on November 7, 2024. The homeowner ended with a sealed, painted exterior, a new roof, and a low-maintenance shade structure over a fresh slab. We closed the project on November 21, 2024.

The Full Story
Inside This Project
Why did this Maple Run home need this work?
The home dated to the 1990s, and its exterior showed it. The siding had earned its wear, and the roof was ready for replacement. The homeowner wanted a real outdoor living space too, not just a patch job.
- Original siding worn past its service life
- Roof due for a full tear-off and replacement
- No existing shade structure over the back patio
- Referred homeowner first contacted us July 1, 2024
What did we find, and how did we sequence it?
Order of operations mattered on this job. We installed the new windows first, then pulled the old siding and put up the new. Painting followed once the siding was on, so every seam and edge got sealed color. The shingle roof came next. Then we brought in the concrete crew to pour the patio slab, gave it a few days to cure properly, and finished with the patio cover over two days. Rushing a slab is the classic mistake here. Fresh concrete needs time to set, and setting posts too early risks a cover that shifts or cracks the pad.
- Windows completed before siding removal began in mid-October
- Siding installed over multiple days, then painted
- Concrete slab poured by a local crew after roofing
- Patio cover set only after the slab cured
What materials did we use, and why?
The patio cover is a Renaissance Moderno unit, an aluminum system with a flat, modern profile. Aluminum earns its keep in Central Texas. It won't warp, rot, or feed termites the way wood can, and it holds up under our 100-plus-degree summers without fading fast. Wood covers look great on day one, but they demand sanding and re-staining every couple of years in this climate. The powder-coated finish here needs none of that. The homeowner gets shade and a clean line without the weekend maintenance.
- Renaissance Moderno flat-panel aluminum cover
- Two-day install once the slab was ready
- Low-maintenance powder-coat finish
- Built to resist warping and pests
What went into the roof?
The roofing scope was a full tear-off and rebuild with GAF materials. We stripped the old comp shingles, hauled them off, and laid a complete new system on the steep 8/12 pitch. That pitch and the two-story access meant extra care and steep-slope charges, but it's the right way to do it safely.
- GAF Timberline HDZ SG architectural shingles
- GAF FeltBuster synthetic underlayment across the deck
- GAF StormGuard ice and water shield in vulnerable spots
- GAF Cobra Rigid Vent 3 ridge venting for attic airflow
- ACM galvanized steel drip edge and new pipe flashing
What were the results?
The homeowner ended up with a fully refreshed exterior and a genuine outdoor room. Painted siding, a new roof, and a shade cover all tie together now. The whole exterior reads modern instead of dated.
- Sealed, painted siding with Sherwin Williams finish
- New shade structure over a fresh patio slab
- Full weather protection ahead of the next hail season
- Project closed November 21, 2024
Straight Answers
Questions About This Project
Why aluminum instead of a wood patio cover in Austin?
Aluminum holds its shape and color through our long, hot summers with almost no upkeep. Wood needs regular re-staining and can attract pests in Central Texas soil. For a low-maintenance shade structure, aluminum wins.
How long did the full project take?
We approved the job July 25, 2024, and completed all work November 7, 2024. The multi-trade sequence, from windows to siding to roofing to the patio cover, spread across several weeks by design so each step cured or set properly.
What does a project like this cost?
This was a retail job in the $75,000 to $100,000 range. That reflected three major trades, a steep 8/12 roof with two-story access, full siding replacement, and a full patio cover.
Why did the slab need to cure before the cover went up?
Fresh concrete needs a few days to reach strength before posts are anchored. Setting a cover too soon can crack the pad or leave posts unstable. We waited, then installed over two days.
