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?

Is a 4" slab enough to support that? We just did a very similar build with only 2 posts (16' wide x 12' deep x 8' tall) and dug and poured footers for the 4x6 posts we used. Used 2 9.5" LVLs for the ledgers. Looks great man!

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.

@@btmoua23 the counter flashing needs to go behind the stucco. As for the strength, the entire house is wrapped in lath, a metal wire mesh and held in place my hundreds of nails. The stucco is then applied to this mesh which gives it the strength. It’s incredible difficult to actually remove the stucco in the first place, the remaining stucco is not going anywhere.
Thanks so much for the great video. Realy appreciate it. Question. you showed putting in the L Flashing in the beginning, but later on i didn't see it? How come? You don't use any screw or adhesive for the flashing, just the 3" board? How do you know where to cut the stucco? thanks again so much for all your teaching
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.
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.
Hi! Great video. Im doing something similar in Tucson... What would you change in the structure if the patio was going to be walked on like a balcony? Only up to 5 ppl at a time
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.
Hi Luis Angel. This is an excellent job 👏👏👏. I have a question, the person who did my patio did not do the first step of cutting the stucco and now when it rains, water infiltrate. How this problem can be fixed?
@@carolp3262 Hello there, I’m sorry to hear about your patio. I would try to fix this by rolling on a roof coating of “elastomeric” it’s like white paint, but really thick. I would apply this between the patio and the stucco of the house. You might need two coats.
Hi Luis Angel, so you don’t recommend trying to cut the stucco and placing the z plate after the patio os built? Because the person who built the patio was giving me that option.
@@carolp3262 Oh I would definitely do that! I was thinking you were asking what would be a simple fix for you to try and do. If he’s offering you to redo the patio, which he basically has to do in order to cut the stucco and put the counter flashing in, then I would totally agree.
Hi Luis, i don’t think he is offering to re- do it ( disassemble and build it again), i think he said that he will cut the stucco and place counter flashing on top of the patio. But , i am afraid that this may be worst and the water can infiltrate more.
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.
When you cut the 2nd ledger board at a 45 did you cut the 1st one at 45 as well in order for them to overlap better? Also why didnt you go all the way to the left edge with the ledger? Looks like it is 6" from that corner of the house.
Yes, both ledger boards have been cut in opposite 45s to overlap one another. And we did not go all the way because the home owner had other plans for that side of the patio.
@luisangelmedia4459 What plans does he have for those 6 inches or less ? I wasn't talking about the open side on right with window and no concrete. I meant the little sliver you can't see in the video on left side.
@@javelin13 okay i understand, I thought you meant 6 feet on the right where the window is. So the 6 inches left on the right side is just for looks so the patio can be on the “inside” of the house wall. It’d look a bit odd if the fascia came out flush to the house or maybe not.
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.
I’ve never done an aluminum patio, but I’m guessing it would be a lot cheaper in labor and materials as it would require less of both. This patio was $4,000 labor and $2,000 materials at the time it was built just so you can get an idea of how much you could save on aluminum.
@@luisangelmedia4459 Thank you for the reply, $6000 sounds super reasonable. Aluminum would actually cost more than double that. I quoted $17000. Wish you were here in cali.
Yes, they were 4x6 posts. I have a private video that I did for someone regarding posts distance. Tap “read more” ruclips.net/video/C-FREXA03x0/видео.html

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.
@@joserollinson4049 los postes están separados 10 pies. Y las vigas son de 4x8, y las dos vivas de alado son como 12 pies de largo y la de en medio es 10.
I noticed the caulking guns what exactly did you use those for? Do the z bar or l bar flashing require some type of sealant? I am in the process of building our attached patio cover and definitely found this video helpful. Thank you for the content.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
@@kevinbaldonado5614 first time hearing this for me. I built this patio and three other ones using the schedules provided by the city and the size of the ledger board doesn’t change if the rafter span is longer.
This is a great video man. Thank you for posting. What size is the seat of the z flashing you are installing? Where did you buy it from? I'm from Colorado and I can't find it anywhere. Thanks! Great content!
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
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.
@@btmoua23 plenty of ways to do it, but only one way to do it right. I’ve seen others cut only a small portion, enough to slide the counter flashing under the stucco and then place the ledger board bellow that, but I would rather just cut all the way.
@@anthonygreen1515 you could add some silicone between the stucco and the lip of the z bar, but it’s not necessary, except for the two edges on each side.
@@jimrylander9143 they planned it out like this. The concrete was also poured only to clear the sliding door. My guess is that they have other plans for that section, maybe some pavers or turf. Everyone has different ideas.
@@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.

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

@@luisangelmedia4459 YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!! THANSK SO MUCH !!!! DONT EVER CHANGE !!!! SUBSCRIBED AND LIKE A MILLION TIMES> THANKS AGAIN
@@FreedomWanderer-hk3hc thank you!
Nice work... So how expensive is a job that size? And should the patio cover be built before the concrete is pored?
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.
Hi! Great video. Im doing something similar in Tucson... What would you change in the structure if the patio was going to be walked on like a balcony? Only up to 5 ppl at a time
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.
Hi Luis Angel. This is an excellent job 👏👏👏. I have a question, the person who did my patio did not do the first step of cutting the stucco and now when it rains, water infiltrate. How this problem can be fixed?
@@carolp3262 Hello there, I’m sorry to hear about your patio. I would try to fix this by rolling on a roof coating of “elastomeric” it’s like white paint, but really thick. I would apply this between the patio and the stucco of the house. You might need two coats.
Thank you so much for your prompt reply.
Hi Luis Angel, so you don’t recommend trying to cut the stucco and placing the z plate after the patio os built? Because the person who built the patio was giving me that option.
@@carolp3262 Oh I would definitely do that! I was thinking you were asking what would be a simple fix for you to try and do. If he’s offering you to redo the patio, which he basically has to do in order to cut the stucco and put the counter flashing in, then I would totally agree.
Hi Luis, i don’t think he is offering to re- do it ( disassemble and build it again), i think he said that he will cut the stucco and place counter flashing on top of the patio. But , i am afraid that this may be worst and the water can infiltrate more.
thanks for the video its very helpful would like to ask how much would a 40x12 cost? also could you use pavers?
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.
When you cut the 2nd ledger board at a 45 did you cut the 1st one at 45 as well in order for them to overlap better?
Also why didnt you go all the way to the left edge with the ledger? Looks like it is 6" from that corner of the house.
Yes, both ledger boards have been cut in opposite 45s to overlap one another. And we did not go all the way because the home owner had other plans for that side of the patio.
@luisangelmedia4459 What plans does he have for those 6 inches or less ? I wasn't talking about the open side on right with window and no concrete. I meant the little sliver you can't see in the video on left side.
@@javelin13 okay i understand, I thought you meant 6 feet on the right where the window is. So the 6 inches left on the right side is just for looks so the patio can be on the “inside” of the house wall. It’d look a bit odd if the fascia came out flush to the house or maybe not.
What is the best way to find the decider for the top plate? How far up from the first floor?
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.
Luis, what would I expect to pay for a wood patio cover this size versus an aluminum?
I’ve never done an aluminum patio, but I’m guessing it would be a lot cheaper in labor and materials as it would require less of both. This patio was $4,000 labor and $2,000 materials at the time it was built just so you can get an idea of how much you could save on aluminum.
@@luisangelmedia4459 Thank you for the reply, $6000 sounds super reasonable. Aluminum would actually cost more than double that. I quoted $17000. Wish you were here in cali.
@@Daditoxic1 oh yeah that’s quite a chunk of money!
Can you share the wood sizes for this great project
Vertical posts are 4x6, horizontal beams are 4x8, rafters are 2x6 12 feet long. The fascia is a nominal size of 2x7
Were those 4x6 posts?
& if so what was the spacing in between the posts?
Yes, they were 4x6 posts. I have a private video that I did for someone regarding posts distance. Tap “read more”

How much total material cost would you be looking at for something like this.
The materials for this was $2,500 back when it was built.
I live in the phx area. How much would it roughly be for a 24’ wide x 16’ patio
@@ericbaeza3661 you’re probably looking at a starting price of $2,500 materials and $4,000 labor, but I would estimate more.
How do you waterproof the sides of the Ledger board?
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.
Could you please post a link to the materials you used, especially the flashing materials? Thanks in advance!

@@luisangelmedia4459 gracias amigo!
@@josedanielpa gracias también por ver mi video.
On the L flashing and Z flashing, could you get away with only doing L flashing?
It can be possible, although not recommended. The Z bar is important to make sure water does not return back into the stucco.
So do the spacers just float in there? They don't get secured in any way other than the friction?
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.
Hello...cual es la separacion entre postes...que medida tienen las vigas horizontales colocadas en los postes?
@@joserollinson4049 los postes están separados 10 pies. Y las vigas son de 4x8, y las dos vivas de alado son como 12 pies de largo y la de en medio es 10.
I noticed the caulking guns what exactly did you use those for? Do the z bar or l bar flashing require some type of sealant? I am in the process of building our attached patio cover and definitely found this video helpful. Thank you for the content.
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 👍
Hi Luis! Can I ask you about attach patio cover?
Hello. Yes, you can ask me anything. Or did you mean ask me to see work that you have?
How much was the permit for the build? I live in Tucson and was just trying to get a idea of what to expect.
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.
What’s the best way to measure for the top plate? Measure inside first?
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!
how much should something like this cost? including roughly the same size layout and patio space?
$4,000 for labor and $2,500 materials.
What size of ledger board are you using for this project. 2x6. Or. 2x8 ledger board?
@@edest4321 it’s 2x6
Usually it should be inch per foot, 8 foot long span needs 8 inch wide leadger board
But awnings are different than decks
@@kevinbaldonado5614 first time hearing this for me. I built this patio and three other ones using the schedules provided by the city and the size of the ledger board doesn’t change if the rafter span is longer.

How were you able to cut the stucco so straight?
On this house I did it with a level and marker as I was by myself, but if I’m with a helper we do a chalk line.
Would you take a job in the Las Vegas area??

@@129dannytran thank you, I’m happy to help.
How do you know what the pitch/slope should be ??
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.
is there another way to do this job without cutting the stucco wall?
@@btmoua23 plenty of ways to do it, but only one way to do it right. I’ve seen others cut only a small portion, enough to slide the counter flashing under the stucco and then place the ledger board bellow that, but I would rather just cut all the way.
How to seal the stucco above the flashing?
@@anthonygreen1515 you could add some silicone between the stucco and the lip of the z bar, but it’s not necessary, except for the two edges on each side.
Why didn’t the customer want the patio to extend the whole length of the house?Now sun comes into that last window. Sort of looks odd.
@@jimrylander9143 they planned it out like this. The concrete was also poured only to clear the sliding door. My guess is that they have other plans for that section, maybe some pavers or turf. Everyone has different ideas.
@@luisangelmedia4459 true
Hello Luis, is there another way to keep the L flashing in place other than with the cap sheet adhesive? With no Z bar flashing..
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
