I have a new patio video! ruclips.net/video/jEY4WI4uWwg/видео.html
this is the best,,thank you so much for such a concise, simple, clearly stated and filmed video,,Your work is clean and elegant,,I will take a few tips from you when I start my patio
@@dog_biter thank you as well for watching and commenting. Good luck on your project.
Wow!
Clearly explained and filmed.
Dad cuts the prettiest 45°angles I've ever seen!
Thank you! and yes he does!
Your patio and video are ON POINT! Thanks for taking the time to explain it without the rush and hustle!
Thank you for watching my videos!
Wonderful to see a family crew that is knowledgeable and skilled. No shortcuts taken. I wish I could hire you guys in NC.
Thank you so much for the kind words! And I wish you good luck with whatever you need help there.
Thank you very much. The video was exactly what I needed to complete our project. I appreciate how thorough you were.
Jill Smolek that’s great to hear!
Very professional job! I’m glad I saw your video before I began the same project. It’s a lot more involved than I expected. TY !
You’re welcome and thank you for watching. 👍
Thank you for a clearly explained video. I appreciate the detail you went into talking about the right way to do the flashing. I'm doing research before adding a porch to my house and the flashing was a concern. Kudos to you and your dad for the level of professionalism you put into little details.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I made sure to put in as much information because those were some of the things I had struggle with as well. I made several calls and searched online for the “appropriate” and “correct” ways to perform each step. I just wanted to show people accurate information. I’m glad you found it helpful!
Beautiful work bro! Thank you for sharing! I love Arizona a ton! I hope that you and the family enjoy this terraza for many years to come! Cheers from sunny Puerto Rico!
Thank you! I love Puerto Rico and its culture and people as well. Many blessings
Nicely done. Appreciate the professionalism on your work. Great video.
Daniel Amaya thank you for the kind words !
Awesome job papo to you y la familia. I’m using your video as a guide to help me build my patio roof myself. Thank you for explaining each step, you have given me the confidence to do this myself. 💯
I’m really happy to hear that and I wish you good luck on your project! Let me know how it goes!
Looks and sounds like a lot of common sense utilized here. Great job!!
Thank you, sometimes that’s all you really need haha.
Great job and the best details for every step. I then watched all your media and learn a lot. Thanks.

Fantastic video Luis! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
Good work, man. I’m skeptical on doing the ledger board process on my house. But your explanation gives me confidence. Wish me luck!
Thank you for watching my video. The process can be challenging and concerning, be sure to measure twice and you will be okay. Look out for electrical and water pipes going through the wooden studs.
Great videos! Right to the point and clearly explained. Clean work. Thank you!
Thank you!

These videos are great man, really appreciate you taking the time to do this. I am getting ready to build a patio onto my house and I didn't wan't to cut into the stucco, but it sounds like this is the correct way to do it. Good job getting the help from the wise old men as well haha
David Higdon thank you so much for the feedback! I wish you good luck on your project and make sure to measure twice before you cut into the stucco. You will feel glad you did it right the first time.
@@luisangelmedia4459 Can I ask how difficult it was to install the first piece of z bar flashing? It looks like you install the z bar before you put up the 2x6 ledger. Just wondering how difficult it is to cut into the black paper and slide the first piece of Z flashing up behind the paper?
David Higdon It all depends on how many nails or staples you find between the stucco and the studs. We used long and thin tools like drywall knives or masonry trowel and a hammer to cut the staples or nails. If there is a stubborn nail, you can cut back the Z bar where it hits up against the nail.
@@luisangelmedia4459 when you installed the z bar flashing above the ledger, did you slice into the existing black paper and then slide the z bar flashing up behind the paper? I am getting ready to cut into my stucco to install the ledger board and I am just trying to decide the best way to do this before I get started.
@@davidhigdon8238 yes, you will need to cut the black paper. I was also hesitant on this, but you will see that you need to pull or ram a few of the stucco nails and staples in order to get the Z bar flashing up behind the stucco. The paper will get damaged in this process so, might as well put the Z bar behind the paper.
Great job. San Diego, CA.

Hi, do you do outside work? your work is very impressive and you are a perfectionist
Kathy Lujan I’m self employed handyman, so yes, I do my own work and for other people as well. If you live in the Phoenix or Glendale area in Arizona, email me at: luisangelmedia@gmail.com
Good job
Thank you so much!
Well Done...GC in California great work..this is properly done..the extra steps to get it installed right is were we separate the skilled from the rest
Thank you so much!
One suggestion I would add is on facia outside corners is to seal the 45° end grain with primer or caulking to seal it before putting it together...it will seal good before painting
@@jonrutherig6300 that sounds like a good idea. I actually do this when I frame doors and Windows, so I can see how it would be good for the fascia as well. Thank you.
Your work is outstanding..you consider every aspect of project...nice to see true tradesmen are alive and still doing projects...hope you are training the young guys to carry on your craft...
@@jonrutherig6300 thank you, my dad passed on his knowledge to me and I hope to continue that as well.
Good job! Very professional. Can you give the name of the underlayment?

GOOD JOB
Thank you!
Great video best one I’ve seen with detail instructions what is the small tape called at minute 8:17 with the shiny chrome thank you in advance
It’s waterproof flash tape commonly used for exterior doors or windows. Totally unnecessary for this kind of patio build, but my dad had an extra roll and he said to add it to the joints. We don’t do this to new patio builds. So you don’t have to add it.
Very Cool
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful job. I have a question: my house is old but has great bones. I can't find the studs to anchor the ledger. Can I use the self expanding concrete bolts (5/16, 1/2, etc.)? Thanks so much Angel
If your house is made of masonry blocks, look at my most recent video I just uploaded, it’s a patio on a house with concrete blocks and eaves. Your ledger board needs to be anchored to something structural of your house. You can try uploading a picture somewhere and sharing it with me to see what’s going on.
Beautiful work. Did the concrete crack from the weight of the covering? That’s what I’m deciding on still. To either put the beams in the ground or on top of the concrete
You want it on top of the concrete and on top of a post base. And no, concrete is still good, this is what it’s made for.
More buildings please from Australia
More patios coming soon :)
just like my grandma would have done it good job :)
BIKMUNNI thank you!
@@luisangelmedia4459 no joke nice job :) it just reminded me about the hut i build by myself sice i was 7. Im still building :)
Fantastic work. Do you do jobs in Gilbert AZ?
I do more jobs on the west side, phoenix and glendale, but I do go out further to gilbert, chandler and mesa whenever I get jobs there too. Contact at if you want some work done. Luisangelmedia@gmail.com
Great!!!!!!!👍👍👍
Thank you!
Que buen video
Gracias!
It was nice to hear you the pride you took in your father's work. Did you have any experience drawing
up a project like this or did you hire someone for the plans?
Well the design was fairly simple, just following what the city told me to do for their building schedule in terms of rafters, posts and beams. As for the overall dimensions, I picked sizes that would be easy to work with, for example 32 feet was the biggest I could go along the house and fit 4 4x8 boards. I just made sure to have common sizes for the material I would use.
Thanks for the trhis video...How do you cut the notch on the 2x4's to mount on top of the rafters?
You can use a square on both sides of the beam to mark where the notch will go and then use a marker and run it along the beam to mark the line on the stud. Let me know if this what you asked.
Great job on the ledger board. For those of us with stucco homes and no existing roof rafters to tie into, you showed the right way to do it. I've been planning my own build and i couldn't find any videos for weeks that showed the removal of the stucco to expose the rim joists and/or blocking. I can't understand why no one does it this way. Most patio covers in southern california are just screwed into the stucco and I'm assuming they're guessing that they're hitting joists/studs.
Only question I have for you is did you just leave the 2" of flashing exposed above the roof or did you try and patch it with stucco ?
Thank you for your comment. I left the flashing exposed. If you want to hide it better, you can always paint it the color of the house.
Great video and professionally done! Does your roof have a grade for rainfall/runoff?
Is the cap sheet all that’s needed (no shingles/metal exterior protection)? I’m in CA so it’s hot and rainy.
Yes, the roof has a 6” slope from the house to the posts. This is a .5/12 slope, super low, but still at code and spec for the type of roofing material I used. Here in Arizona cap sheets are fairly common, not as a main roof, but used in a lot in additions, sheds, patios.
@@luisangelmedia4459 thank you! I’d be interested to see a video tying into an existing roofline (fascia removal maybe) if that’s on the list! I guess it would be for the side of your house. Again great detail thank you!
@@iWaSTD I know what you are talking about, but here in Arizona you cannot attach any structure to the side of the fascia or the eves coming down the side of the house. What needs to be done there is that the eves needs to be cut back flush to the house and then expose the trusses where those eves come from and your patio or structure is then attached to those trusses. New roof material also needs to be under the existing roof, which means momentarily lifting off a few inches of the shingles to create an overlap for new roof. Hope this explains it.
@@luisangelmedia4459 I 100% understand because I just replaced all the decking/underlayment on the back roofline. Thanks so much for your insight!
@@iWaSTD you’re welcome and good luck in your future projects!
Great vid. What’s the size of the ledger board? Thanks.
Thank you, the size of the ledger board is a normal 2x6 and 10 feet long, but you cut them to the lengths you need the boards to cover the span of the house.
Great work! Is the beam 4x6, Rafter and ledger 2x6? You don’t need cross bars between the rafters?
The horizontal beams are 4x8. Ledger is 2x6 and 4x6 posts. 2x6 rafters as well. As for the cross bars, I think they could help, but I opted not to put any because the rafter span was only like 10 feet and I think the rafters shouldn’t move so much. Almost 1 year later and they are still fairly straight.
I have been searching for a video like this...the best step by step video I have seen. You guys did a fantastic job. May I ask what was the approximate cost in material for this job?
Thank you! If you liked this video, I’m uploading a similar, but bigger and better video tomorrow afternoon mountain time. Materials were roughly $2,500.
ruclips.net/video/jEY4WI4uWwg/видео.html
Great video, Sir! This is exactly what I want to build!
Two questions: what did you use to attach the Z bar flashing to the house and ledger? And what did you use to attach the L flashing to the Z bar/plywood?
Keep up the great work!
I’m happy you found the video helpful. Right above the ledger board I placed a 1”x”3 board which the Z flashing sits on top off. The L flashing butts up against that 1x3 and behind the Z flashing overlap. And they both get anchored together to the 1x3 which is attached to the 2x4s of the house like the ledger board.
@@luisangelmedia4459
Thanks! ...but you may have to make a part 3 to your awesome build to explain, in further detail, the flashing installation. I just want to make sure that I did it within the same way to prevent water intrusion.

@@tommy2shoes339 look at the link I gave you. The “spacer” is the 1x3 I said previously. That sits on top of the ledger and everything else in the picture gets placed in that similar manner.

Thank you, again!
I'm asking because I am looking to get this done at my house
If you are in AZ, phoenix area. Contact me @ LuisAngelMedia@gmail.com
First of all, great video Luis. Question for you, are all the studs in your home (where you installed the ledger) running vertical or were they slightly angled? How do you think these studs are installed in a typical AZ home?
Yes, all the studs are vertical. But I have another video just like this, except that instead of the vertical studs, I anchored it to the top plate. Here is the video.

You peel the top layer first in the first row so be ease for you then the bottom and if you didnt put roof cement on the drip edge
You will go back to fix the damage wood .
Thank you for the feedback. I did not use roof cement because the roof rolls already had a layer of the sticky material. Also, Arizona is such a dry state that we usually do not have much problems with water damage, unless it’s completely exposed.
Would you mind posting a link to the roofing rolls you used as well as the tape you used on the joints? Nice work!

Hi, what did you use on the joints (before the base sheet)? Thank you!
@@susyfierros it’s a roll of waterproofing material similar to the base sheet, but used on things like window installs, has multiple uses. It’s not necessary to add this and this is the only time we did it simply because my dad wanted to have more sturdier seams between each board when walking on top of it.
Very nice work. I'm planning on building something similar 15x30 but instead of a ledger board I'll building into the roof and on top of the wall. But I had a question about the post. Is there a reason why u went with 4x6 instead of a 4x4 post? Is it code to use 4x6?
The schedule tables provided to me by the city did not tell me specifically what size post to get, but I went with a 4x6 instead of 4x4 because I thought it would make for a “stronger” post and I like the look of a wider post.
@@luisangelmedia4459I see. Thank you for the quick response.
@@bigpetah765 good luck on your project!
how thick was the osb you used for the 24” on center rafters?
It’s labeled as 15/32 at Home Depot, which is half inch.
Amazing job Luis. Can you help those who aren't very familiar with flashing? How do you attach the Z-flashing to the house? How is the L-flashing then attached to the z-flashing? Thanks for your assistance! Your work is impressive!
With the stucco cut back like I did, you feed and tuck the z flashing underneath the stucco and whatever is under the stucco as well such as foam insulation. The Z flashing looks more like an “N” so once you have one side tuck under the stucco, the L feeds under the other lip of the z flashing and the roof under the L. So you have one “seamless” transition where water cannot possibly get into. Hope this helps.
Hello, good job on the build. My question is you guys didn’t use any asphalt primer on the osb it wasn’t necessary?
Thank you. And no, here in Phoenix, Arizona, the city did not require me to add anything to the osb except for the paper or in this case, the base sheet roll and the cap sheet.
Great job👍 do you need a permit for that ?
Check your local city codes. In the state of Glendale, AZ I was asked to get a permit. But I couldn’t afford it when it came time to pay ($600), but I had my packet filled out and all plans drawn according to their codes. I decided to go ahead and do it without a permit. Do this at your own discretion.
