Patio Covers

Renaissance Patio

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.

First Contact

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.

Evaluation

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.

PLanning & Approval

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.

Installation

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.

Completion

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.

Why did this Quail Creek home need a patio cover?

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.

  • Existing concrete slab was already sound and level
  • No shade structure of any kind before the install
  • West-facing exposure meant harsh late-day sun
  • Goal was usable outdoor space, not a full room addition

What did we look at before starting?

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.

Why the Renaissance Patio Moderno?

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.

  • Insulated aluminum panels that stay cooler than a wood or steel roof
  • Flat modern silhouette that fits newer and updated homes
  • Baked-on finish that resists fading under 100-degree sun
  • No painting or sealing needed down the road

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.

How did the one-day install go?

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.

  • Posts anchored directly into the sound existing slab
  • Aluminum frame squared and leveled before panels went up
  • Insulated roof panels locked in for a clean underside
  • Site cleaned and cleared the same afternoon

What did the finished patio cover deliver?

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.

  • Immediate shade over the full patio footprint
  • No new concrete, so no curing wait and lower total cost
  • A finish that handles pollen, sun, and storms with a simple rinse
  • Project closed out cleanly on September 26, 2024

Frequently asked questions

How long does a patio cover install take?

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.

Why aluminum instead of wood for an Austin patio cover?

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.

What does a project like this cost?

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.

Is the patio cover built to handle hail?

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.
