Renaissance Patio Moderno Aluminum Patio Cover Installation | Two-Day Build Over Existing Concrete Pad, No New Pour Needed









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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We built a Renaissance Patio Moderno patio cover for a home in Park Valley, Round Rock, TX. The finished structure adds real shade to the back patio in a clean Sandstone-and-white color pairing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
