First of all, just want to say thank you and for posting this video. I’m planning to install my own awning and have been researching this project quite a bit and your content has helped a lot. I have a question did you install flashing on the bottom part of the ledger board? This is the only video I found where the home is very similar to mine in that the siding is stucco and it’s two-story which makes this video very applicable to my project. But I have to say cutting into the stucco of my house. Kind of worries me. I figured cutting through the stucco was necessary to expose the framing of the home to make a solid connection between the house and the awning. But wouldn’t you want to include flashing on the bottom of that ledger board?

Thank you!

Thanks for detailed and easy to follow patio build vids 👍. Followed and subscribed Btw, how many inch of pitch per feet?

@@txreal2 thank you! The pitch is .5/12 meaning that this patio is 12 feet long and from the ledger to the beam the rafters sit on, is a 6 inch drop.

Me da gusto que fue de ayuda el video. Muchas gracias, Dios lo bendiga.

Thank you for letting me know.

That sounds nice. I’ve done standing patios with onduline as well. Good stuff!

Thank you! And congratulations on your patio as well.

Thank you!

Thank you! Tell those Mexican workers que se pongan las pilas

The plywood did not extend across the entire span of the house, only bellow the windows.

Most people will choose to do a drywall ceiling, which could easily be done to this type of patio as the outer fascia boards are slightly taller which means the ceiling will be recessed in and not flush. Thank you for watching my video.

Here are the ones from the video. You can use either one you like. I personally like the ones in the video, although you need to take into account the 1/4 height increase, which is the most common complaint about them. www.homedepot.com/p/Simpson-Strong-Tie-PF-18-Gauge-Galvanized-Post-Frame-Hanger-for-2x6-Nominal-Lumber-PF26/100374865

The plans you get from the city here have a page where it says you do need a footer for brand new concrete slabs. This lab was poured with the footers for the posts marked out. Your patio sounds nice as well.

In most cases you will not be able to know the exact location, and you will probably be cutting the stucco to about 8-9 feet depending how tall your patio can be. Attaching to top plate is good, but most of the time we just attach to the vertical studs which is equally good.

Thank you! This is the link to the Home Depot page for the material. Please let me know if you were able to open and see it. www.homedepot.com/p/Gibraltar-Building-Products-1-in-x-10-ft-Bonderized-Steel-Z-Bar-Flashing-ZB6B/202218458

@@129dannytran thank you, I’m happy to help.

Thank you. For construction, I find that GRK brand screws are the best. These are the ones I used www.homedepot.com/p/GRK-Fasteners-8-x-1-1-2-in-R4-Multi-Purpose-Star-Drive-Flat-Head-Screw-110-per-Pack-96085/204837666

Thank you. It’s about $4,000 labor and $2,500 materials

Thank you! $4,000 labor, $2,500 materials. Concrete should definitely be poured first, but not an absolute requirement. These numbers do not include price of concrete, but that’s probably a $3k - $5k job.

Thank you. I see a few concerns with having people on a roof like this. The first thing is that the wood used is meant to mostly hold its own weight, so maybe bigger beams, posts and possibly rafters. Second, the roofing base sheet and cap sheet are not real good for walking on. In peak summer when the roofing rolls get hot, they get sticky and very soft, if you step on it too much the tiny rocks sink into the black tar, so you’d need to spray it with foam and seal it, like a built up roof or flat roof.

Thank you. There are two flashings used in the video. The first one you see is the Z bar flashing, you won’t see this except for the piece that comes down over the L flashing. You can see the L flashing being out on at the end of the video. In this video I didn’t use any screws to attach the L flashing to the Z bar flashing or over the cap sheet because how tight it was. But you can use 1/2 lath screws to anchor the Z bar and L flashing together and also screw down the flashing to the cap sheet with longer screws, but you need to apply sealant to those anytime you screw into the cap sheet. To cut the stucco, you need to measure how high your ledger board needs to go and then cut about 9 inches, 6 inches for the ledger board and 3 inches for the wooden spacer. Hope this helps.

@@luisangelmedia4459 YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!! THANSK SO MUCH !!!! DONT EVER CHANGE !!!! SUBSCRIBED AND LIKE A MILLION TIMES> THANKS AGAIN

@@FreedomWanderer-hk3hc thank you!

Cutting the stucco can be intimidating, but just need to measure everything twice and even a third time before taking the grinder to the stucco. The concrete pad is 32 x 10 feet.

@@luisangelmedia4459 Not much different than mine...10'x28'

Thank you. Here in Phoenix, this was $2,500 materials and $4,000 labor.

Thank you. A patio that size, and only considering the roof structure, not concrete or the paving, would be closer to $5,500 labor and $3,000 materials. And no, you cannot put this roof over pavers, you need to have footings where the posts will go.

@@luisangelmedia4459 thanks for responding wish you was in FL hard to find people that don’t over charge in my area muchas gracias.! 💪🏼

@@vaderfx4 you’re welcome, thank you for checking out my video and I hope you find someone you can trust to help you out.

Gracias. Sí, el patio mide 35 pies y se mira más chico porque es de 12 de largo cuando normalmente se hacen de 8 o 10 aquí

Yeah they are just small metal clips that go between the boards. However, they actually fit very tightly on the board, plus if you use this self adhering material, the base sheet gets glued down on them too.

In this patio, it was decided by the fact that the HOA would not allow the patio roof to be taller than 10 feet. On my other patio, with stucco, I was limited in height by the fascia of the roof. You can also determine the height by having your horizontal beam be at least 7 feet high, the beam at the edge of the patio.

The truth is that yes, you should be going to the city and filling out an application, but the honest truth is that most homeowners will not get a permit and hundreds of these patios have been built without one.

Thank you for the feedback.

Licensed contractors higher guys like this to go do the work😒 He cut aprox 16’ of osb out of the “sheer” and replaced with 2x materials 😒 And for the footings, do you really think 4” slab is going to fail from supporting maybe 250lbs at the points of contact?😒 In AZ and no snow loads…. I’m sure it’ll last for the life of the house.

Be careful if you are a licensed contractor that’s a lawsuit waiting to happen now.

Come on, Mr. Profesional. 😂😂😂

I was about to reply the same. You voided structural warrant cutting into sheer panel. Also the patio being so big you should have cut out concrete and poured your own footings. Hope this helps…

Maybe one day that opportunity will come up. Would love to do that in the forests of northern Arizona.

@@luisangelmedia4459 yeah, I would love to see it in Phoenix. planning a green house build, using up cycled glass doors from an attorneys office remodel 4 & 6” posts Japanese cuts no nails or screws. DIY, no experience, no excuses, no problemo!

@@9greatdanes981 sounds like a great project. Let me know how it goes.

If you mean the caulking gun at 9:04 then it was used to seal the edges where the stucco meats all the flashing materials, only the two side edges. We also use silicone to seal the overlapping edges of the flashing materials. The z bar is not glued or anchored behind the stucco, it sits on top of a spacer and what you can do is, nail or screw the L flashing that goes bellow the Z bar flashing to the spacer, you will have to lift up the flap of the z bar flashing a little bit to do this.

This is my 2nd reply, please the 1st one. You can see the spacer board at 2:28 the z bar flashing sits on top of this.

@@luisangelmedia4459 makes sense thanks for the fast reply. How often would we need to re apply sealant to the two side edges where the stucco meets the flashing?

@@robertrenier1709 if you are precise with your measurements and you only applied a small bead, then I doubt it will ever crack and need maintenance, but if you ended up with a large gap, like more than 1/2, then it’s something you will need to keep an eye on to make sure it does not crack.

@@luisangelmedia4459 sounds good 👍

With screws and silicone, but this would not be ideal nor would I recommend it.

@@luisangelmedia4459 ok thanks, it just seems like the flashing is not sticking to the cap sheet very well..

@@josedanielpa are you talking about this build or did you do something similar? In this video the L flashing is barely able to move across the cap sheet adhesive. But let’s say that it was loose, I would add a layer of the Henry black tar or silicone bellow the flashing and above the cap sheet to create a better bond. Maybe even add a spacer if my roof was too low and there was a big gap.

@@luisangelmedia4459 I did something similar, ok thanks for the idea! I appreciate it

City of Glendale wanted $600 because they said it’s based on square footage. That was for a patio at my house, I chose not to get the permit as it was out of my budget and for this patio, the home owner also chose to not get the permit either. Keep in mind that we build these according to the specs given by the city, so that if in the future if someone needed to get a permit for this, it will pass as it’s exactly what they ask.

That’s the only place where you will have to use the acrylic caulking. I recommend the caulking because it’s paintable, but silicone is best.

Yes, I do this as a profession, among money other things, I’m a professional handyman. If you want to inquire about the work, please email me so we can exchange information. San Tan valley is a bit farther than I normally go out, but perhaps we can arrange something. luisangelmedia@gmail.com

Depends on how tall your ceilings are. For an 8ft ceiling, the top plate is around 97 inches. However, I wouldn’t let the top plate height determine your patio height, you could go lower or sometimes higher if your hoa allows. The important thing is locating those vertical studs.

@@luisangelmedia4459 thank you bro. I appreciate it your video was amazing

@@sabada51 thank you as well for watching and reaching out!

🙏 🪚 👷🏾‍♂️

If you are using this roofing material, the roll self adhering sheet, it needs at least a .25/12 slope or pitch. I personally went higher with a .50/12 slope. That means that for every 12 inches of length on the roof, the direction in which the slope will be, you need to drop half inch. So I’m this case I went down 6 inches because it was 12 feet long. Let me know if that makes sense.

That is not the recommended way to install the ledger board and it would not meet city code here in Phoenix. You can do it, but it’s not a good idea.

Normally me and my dad only need about 5 days, but as you see in the video, I was working alone most of the days as he was home sick. So this project took me about 10 days.

It was about $2,500 materials and at that time, $4,000 labor.

Thank you! For new concrete yes, if it’s an older pad, it needs to be 4 inches thick and no cracks. Mounting the ledger board to the stucco is a bad idea. Also, termites don’t get into the house from the surface, they dig under your house and crawl up once they find soft wood. Be careful about mounting ledger board to stucco.

Why be careful with attaching ledger board to stucco ?

@@sdyoda because you don’t mount the ledger board to the stucco.

The materials for this was $2,500 back when it was built.

$2,500 materials, $4,000 labor

Nothing fancy. Just Douglas fir or whatever wood Home Depot happens to sell in bulk.

This specific patio was a bit slow because I was by myself most days. Normally it’s about 5-6 days with two or three people and I took 9 days. Every patio is different though, so you can’t assume it will always be the same amount of time.

@@luisangelmedia4459 nice! Thanks!

Yes, you usually need a permit to build or add anything to your house. However, most people will choose not to get one, for different reasons.

Sí se puede 👍 vamos

I’m located in Glendale, AZ.

In this build, I happen to land on the top plate, which are a number of 2x4s stacked together horizontally. My ledger board is attached to this because I built it up high. However, when you open up the stucco, you will physically see the vertical 2x4 studs where you need to anchor the rafters. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtSCqrCZtbSqlYE.htmlsi=YlJbG2PGsn0wg19q
