About This Project

For this Aberdeen home, we built a composite-roof patio cover with an A-frame peak and screened the whole space with our expanded-view upgrade.

Underneath, a new paver patio includes a spot built for the family's hot tub, and a new paver walkway connects it to the yard.

Patio Covers, Screen Rooms and Hot Tub Pads: A General Guide

Pitched or flat cover?

A pitched (A-frame) cover adds height and a feature roofline; a flat cover keeps a low profile, which can help under second-story windows or where the house roof is low. Joining the two lets you put height where you want it.

Daylighting research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory notes that overhangs can reduce daylight reaching a room, while taller, sloped ceilings help spread light deeper, which is why roof height and shape matter on a lanai extension.

Shade makes a real difference. According to the EPA, shaded surfaces can be 20 to 45°F cooler than the peak temperatures of unshaded materials, and its UV Index guidance recommends seeking shade during late morning through mid-afternoon whenever the UV Index is moderate or higher.

Screening it in

Florida has more than 80 mosquito species, according to UF/IFAS. Ordinary window screen won't stop no-see-ums: UF/IFAS notes that regular screens don't keep out biting midges, which need a much finer no-see-um mesh.

Planning for a hot tub and drainage

A filled hot tub is heavy, so it needs a pad sized and built for it, and it needs a dedicated electrical circuit installed by a licensed electrician. Plan where the tub goes before the patio is laid.

New roofs and patios change where rainwater goes. Drains under the pavers can carry it away from the house and the patio.

Building in St. Johns

Most communities in St. Johns have an HOA with architectural review. See our St. Johns page for HOA and permit details in the area.

The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30, with the peak around September 10, according to NOAA. Permitted structures are designed to Florida Building Code wind requirements.

Design session with Amany. Your project starts at our Jacksonville design studio, where you sit down with founder Amany Youssef and watch your project take shape live on screen in AutoCAD.
Free AutoCAD design and a custom quote. You get to-scale 3D renderings and a fully itemized custom quote within 24 hours of your consultation, so you know exactly what you're getting.
In-home design visit. Amany comes to your home for an in-person walkthrough, so we look at the project together where you're most comfortable, finalize the details and choose your colors and finishes.

We prepare the drawings, site plan and material and color selections your review board asks for and submit them with you. The decision is your association's, so confirm current guidelines with your association.
