Patio Covers

Renaissance Patio

This Round Rock patio cover project used the Renaissance Patio Moderno line in a Sandstone finish with a white roof panel. The homeowner already had a sound concrete pad, so no new concrete was needed. We chose the Moderno for its clean aluminum build, which handles 100-degree summers without warping or fading. The two-day install added lasting shade and a finished look to the back of the home.

First Contact

This was a previous customer who already trusted us with their siding and windows. They reached out on July 19, 2023 about adding shade to their back patio in Park Valley.

Evaluation

We inspected the existing concrete pad and the home's attachment points. The slab was level and crack-free, so we confirmed no new concrete would be required. We also verified the layout would fit a standard Renaissance Patio Moderno footprint.

PLanning & Approval

The homeowner selected the Moderno cover in a Sandstone frame with a white roof to match the home. We finalized the estimate and secured approval on July 21, 2023, just two days after first contact.

Installation

The crew installed the cover over two days. Day one covered post and frame set, and day two handled roof panels, trim, and cleanup. Electrical coordination ran through Harbison Electric, with materials supplied through Lansing Building Products.

Completion

We completed and invoiced the project on September 8, 2023. The final walkthrough confirmed a level roof and tight seams, and the patio was ready to use right away. The job closed out on September 22, 2023.

Why did this Park Valley home need a patio cover?

The back patio caught direct afternoon sun with no relief. In Round Rock, that means surface temps hot enough to keep a family indoors most of the summer.

The homeowner wanted usable outdoor space without a heavy remodel. A patio cover was the fastest path to shade that lasts.

  • Existing patio had no overhead protection
  • Afternoon sun made the space unusable in July and August
  • Goal was shade first, style close behind
  • No interior or foundation work required

What did we find when we inspected the site?

This was a return client. We had already done the siding and windows on this same home, so we knew the property well.

The biggest question on any patio cover is the pad underneath it. This one checked out clean.

  • Concrete pad was sound and level, no cracks or heaving
  • No new concrete pour needed, which saved days and cost
  • Attachment points on the house were solid for a ledger connection
  • Layout allowed a standard Moderno footprint with no custom framing

Why the Renaissance Patio Moderno, and why aluminum?

Wood covers look great on day one and then start fighting Central Texas. Our summers run past 100 degrees, cedar pollen coats everything each winter, and spring hail shows up without warning. Wood swells, cracks, and needs repainting every few years under that kind of stress. The Moderno cover is aluminum, so it does not rot, warp, or feed termites, and the baked-on finish holds its color through heat and UV. We picked the Sandstone frame to match the home's exterior and a white roof panel to bounce heat away instead of soaking it in.

Limestone soil around Round Rock also shifts with the seasons, which is why a solid, independent pad matters so much. Because this pad was already stable, the aluminum structure sits on a base that won't move much underfoot. That combination is what keeps a cover square and quiet for years instead of creaking after the first dry summer.

  • Aluminum frame resists rot, rust, and insect damage
  • Baked finish holds color under constant UV
  • White roof reflects heat off the patio surface
  • Sandstone tone pulls from the home's existing palette

How did the installation go?

Crews set the ledger, posts, and roof panels over two days. The stable pad meant no waiting on concrete to cure, so the schedule stayed tight.

Electrical coordination and material supply ran through our project partners, including Harbison Electric and Lansing Building Products. The build wrapped and was invoiced on September 8, 2023.

  • Day one: post set and frame assembly
  • Day two: roof panels, trim, and cleanup
  • Ledger fastened to solid attachment points on the house
  • Final walkthrough confirmed level roof and tight seams

What were the results?

The patio is now a shaded, everyday space instead of a hot slab. The Sandstone-and-white finish reads as part of the original house, not an add-on.

  • Usable patio through peak summer heat
  • Low-maintenance surface, no repainting cycle
  • Color-matched to prior Austin Pro work on the home
  • Project closed out September 22, 2023

Frequently asked questions

How long does a patio cover install take in Round Rock?

This one took two days start to finish. A sound existing pad is the biggest reason a job moves that fast, since there's no concrete curing to wait on.

Do I need to pour new concrete for a patio cover?

Not always. This homeowner's slab was level and crack-free, so we built directly on it. We inspect the pad first and only recommend new concrete when the existing surface can't safely carry the structure.

Why choose aluminum over a wood patio cover in Central Texas?

Aluminum holds up far better to our 100-degree summers, hail, and cedar pollen. It won't rot or need repainting, so the maintenance load stays low year after year.

What did this patio cover project cost?

This retail project fell in the $10k–$15k range. Final pricing depends on cover size, color selections, and whether any new concrete or electrical work is involved.
