Do these guys do the cabinets and counter tops for an outdoor kitchen or are they strictly the covering?

Drop a few construction pictures in here, would be appreciated.

What's the easiest place to host pictures? I never really do that

I think they just do the cover construction, but I'm honestly not sure

construction got delayed a little due to lead time on the metal roofing. guys are out today and set to be finished completely by tonight.

i've lived in my house for five years. we have a beautiful backyard with a big tiled deck that is virtually unusable in the summer because it's just too hot. finally bit the bullet and decided to get it covered. getting a 23'x20' cover built next week and i am super stoked.

just really excited and wanted to tell someone about it.


Awesome. I am looking forward to renovating my patio area too. Hope you enjoy yours.

that is nice.
OP did you paint the brick as part of this project or was it already painted? It looks good regardless

nice to hang outside in the shade
get you some fans and you’re all set

Painted the brick too. Didn't want that actually but my wife really did. So whatever. I'm not crazy about it tbh.

without the stained timbers I wouldn’t have done it but the contrast looks good and makes the dark wood pop.

Looks good! I've always wondered what sort of insurance and warranty implications connecting a patio roof to your existing roof has. I've thought about making part of my open patio covered just over the grill setup, but I'd have to do that I think.



Ya. Let's discuss those roof tie-ins.

I've been looking at doing this but didn't know who the tie-ins worked, if there was a tie-in at all. Thought it might have been free-standing with just an over-hang over the existing roof.
