One-Day Renaissance Patio Moderno Aluminum Patio Cover | Slab-Ready Install With No New Concrete Required









This Quail Creek project added a Renaissance Patio Moderno patio cover in Austin, TX. We chose the Moderno line for its sleek aluminum build and its ability to shrug off 100-degree heat and hail. The install used the home's existing slab, so no new patio concrete was poured. Finished in one day, it gave the homeowner durable shade with almost no upkeep.

The homeowner came to us through a Renaissance Patio lead on June 3, 2024. The first conversation focused on adding shade to a bare back patio in Quail Creek that took the full brunt of Austin's afternoon sun.
We moved the job to prospect on June 6, 2024, and set up a site visit. The crew inspected the existing concrete slab for cracking and movement, common with the limestone soil in this part of north Austin. The pad checked out sound, which meant no new concrete would be needed.
We walked the homeowner through the Renaissance Patio Moderno line and mapped post placement. The project was approved on July 31, 2024, once the layout, finish, and slab plan were locked in.
The full install happened on September 12, 2024, and finished in one day. The crew anchored posts to the existing slab, squared the aluminum frame, and set the insulated roof panels before cleaning the site.
We invoiced the same day as completion, September 12, 2024, and walked the homeowner through the finished cover. The project closed out on September 26, 2024, leaving a shaded, low-maintenance patio ready for the next Texas summer.
We built a Renaissance Patio Moderno patio cover for a home in Quail Creek, Austin, TX, and wrapped the whole job in one day. The homeowner went from bare, sun-baked slab to shaded outdoor living with zero concrete work.
The back patio got hammered by afternoon sun. Quail Creek sits in one of the older parts of north Austin, and this slab had no shade at all. The homeowner wanted a spot to sit outside without cooking in July heat.
Our first job was checking the slab. A patio cover is only as good as what it sits on, and Austin's limestone soil can shift and crack older concrete. We walked the whole pad, checked for heaving, and confirmed it could carry the post loads. It passed, which is why the notes on this job read "no patio concrete needed." That saved the homeowner both time and a big chunk of cost.
We also mapped where the posts would land. Getting post spacing right matters because it sets how the aluminum beams carry weight in a wind or hail event. We measured twice before a single anchor went in.
We picked the Moderno line for its clean flat profile and its aluminum build. Aluminum won't rot, warp, or feed the termites that go after wood covers in Central Texas. The powder-coat finish also holds up to cedar pollen season, since a quick rinse takes the yellow film right off.
Here's what a lot of homeowners get wrong. They chase a cheap wood cover, then spend years fighting rot, sagging, and repainting. Aluminum costs more up front and pays it back in near-zero upkeep. In a climate that swings from hail to triple-digit heat, that trade is an easy call.
The crew set posts, anchored them to the existing slab, then built out the beam frame and dropped in the roof panels. Because the concrete was ready to go, we skipped the pour-and-cure delay that stretches most patio jobs into a week or more. Everything came together on September 12, 2024.
The homeowner got a shaded, low-maintenance patio that's ready for the next Austin summer. The Moderno cover blocks direct sun while keeping the space open and bright. It's built to take hail and heat without the headaches of a wood structure.

This one took a single day because the slab was already in place. Jobs that need new concrete run longer, since the pad has to cure before we can anchor posts.
Aluminum shrugs off the moisture, heat swings, and insects that break down wood here. You skip the yearly sealing and repainting that a wood cover demands in Central Texas.
This Quail Creek install fell in the $15k–$20k range. Skipping new concrete kept the total down, since the existing slab was ready to build on.
Yes. The Moderno's aluminum frame and panels are made for Central Texas storms, and correct post spacing helps the structure carry wind and impact loads.
