EconoWise began by removing the existing wood planks and conducting a thorough assessment of the underlying structure. The framing was reinforced with properly spaced joists and solid beams, ensuring long-term strength, stability, and compliance with structural standards. Careful attention was given to the framing alignment with the home’s layout, keeping the angled sections and seamless transitions along the rear façade. Concrete footings were newly poured to ensure stable support for the posts of a pergola-style patio cover with a peaked design. At this stage, low-maintenance composite decking was installed to provide a durable, weather-resistant surface with a clean, uniform finish. Cedar posts were securely anchored to the concrete footings, establishing the framework for the overhead structure.
The final phase involved constructing a peaked pergola-style patio cover integrated directly into the deck. An aluminum structure was framed on the posts, and decorative cedar inserts were added to decorate the beams of the sloped roof system, which was completed with bronze-tinted glass panels. These panels offer protection from rain while reducing heat and UV exposure, creating a more comfortable outdoor environment. Finishing touches included integrated steps for smooth access to the yard and built-in bench seating along the perimeter, adding both functionality and visual appeal.
The result is a fully transformed outdoor space that combines structural integrity with a modern design.
