Patio Covers

Renaissance Patio

This Hutto project added a Renaissance Patio Moderno patio cover to an existing backyard slab in Scotsburg. The insulated aluminum structure measures 24 feet wide with a 12-foot projection, set on four sturdy posts. We picked the bronze exterior and white roof combo for a look that handles Central Texas sun without fading fast. Aluminum was the right call here because it shrugs off 100-degree heat and hail far better than wood.

How It works

The Journey

First Contact

The homeowner came to us through a Renaissance lead on May 28, 2024. Early conversations focused on adding shade to a backyard slab in Scotsburg that was unusable during Hutto's hottest months.

Evaluation

We visited the site and confirmed the existing concrete pad was solid and level. That meant no new pour was needed, which simplified the whole plan. We measured the space and settled on a 24-foot width with a 12-foot projection.

Planning & Approval

The lead moved to a prospect on June 7, 2024, and we finalized the product selection together. The homeowner approved the Moderno 4-post cover in bronze exterior with a white roof on June 28, 2024.

Installation

Because the slab was ready, the crew anchored posts directly to the existing concrete. They set the four posts, squared the frame, and fitted the insulated roof panels across the full 24-foot span. The build ran roughly two to three days.

Completion

The patio cover was completed and invoiced on September 13, 2024. After a final walkthrough of the finished 24' x 12' structure, the file was closed out on September 26, 2024, with the homeowner ready to use the shaded space right away.

We installed a 24-foot-wide Renaissance Patio Moderno 4-post patio cover for a homeowner in the Scotsburg neighborhood of Hutto, TX. The finished cover gives them full shade over an existing slab, with a 12-foot projection that keeps the whole patio usable through summer.

Why did this Scotsburg home need a patio cover?

The backyard already had a solid concrete area, but no protection from the sun. In Hutto, that means a slab you can barely stand on from June through September.

The existing pad was in good shape, so no demo or new pour was required
The homeowner wanted usable outdoor space, not just a slab that bakes
A permanent structure beat a temporary awning for wind and hail resistance

What did we choose to build, and why aluminum?

We went with the Moderno insulated aluminum cover from Renaissance Patio, sized at a 12-foot projection and 24-foot width. Aluminum was the smart pick for this yard, and here is the honest reason. Wood covers look great on day one, but Central Texas is brutal on them. Our 100-degree summers, sudden hailstorms, and the cedar pollen that coats everything each winter all speed up rot, warping, and constant repainting. The insulated aluminum panels stay cool underfoot, shrug off hail, and never need the yearly upkeep a wood pergola demands. That trade-off is exactly what a homeowner who wants to actually enjoy the space should make.

Four posts carry the 24' span without sagging over time
The white roof reflects heat instead of trapping it against the panel
The bronze exterior finish resists sun fade better than a painted surface

How did the installation go?

Because the slab was ready, the crew skipped the concrete stage entirely and went straight to setting posts. Start to finish, the build ran about two to three days.

Posts were anchored to the existing pad, then leveled and squared
Insulated roof panels were fitted for the full 24-foot width
The bronze and white finish went on clean with no field painting needed

What did the finished patio cover deliver?

The homeowner now has a fully shaded 288-square-foot outdoor room, ready to use the day we left. No warping to worry about, no repainting, and a structure rated for the wind and hail we get out here.

The insulated roof makes a real difference on a triple-digit afternoon. Instead of heat radiating down off the panels, the surface stays noticeably cooler, so the shade actually feels like shade. That is the part most homeowners underestimate when they compare a basic aluminum awning to an insulated cover. If you are also thinking about matching gutters to route water off a new cover, that is worth planning early rather than adding later.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a Renaissance Patio cover take to install?

This one took about two to three days because the concrete was already down. When a new slab is needed, add curing time before we can set posts.

Is aluminum really better than wood for a Hutto patio?

For most homes here, yes. Aluminum handles hail and 100-degree heat without warping, and it never needs the sanding or repainting that wood requires every couple of years.

What does a project like this cost?

This build landed in the $15,000 to $20,000 range. The exact number depends on size, post count, and whether a new concrete pad is part of the job.

When did the project wrap up?

The cover was built, completed, and invoiced on September 13, 2024, with the file closed out later that month on September 26. The homeowner first reached out back in late May, and we approved the plan in June.
