Covered Patio Extension in Avondale, Jacksonville, FL

Avondale patio covers that tie into the roofline and make the backyard usable through sun and rain.

Most builder patios are too small for a table and a few chairs, and they sit out in the sun. A covered patio extension adds usable space with a roof that ties into the house. AY Luxury Designs designs and builds covered patio extensions for homeowners in Avondale, from A-frame and gable covers to single-slope extensions where an A-frame won't fit.

Designing a covered patio extension for Avondale

A historic shopping district and Boone Park give Avondale its center, and many backyards sit close to the neighbors, so privacy shapes the plan. Detached garages and alleys are common behind Avondale homes, which changes where a backyard structure can sit and how materials get in. Historic homes need new roofs that match the existing pitch and materials as closely as the review allows.

If the old slab is cracked or too small, we usually pave over it and the new area together so the floor looks like one piece. Before we draw a covered patio extension in Avondale, we check where columns can go without blocking the view, what the ceiling will look like from below and where fans and lights belong.

According to the EPA, shaded surfaces can be 20 to 45°F cooler than the peak temperatures of unshaded materials.

Approvals and Permits in Avondale

Avondale is part of the Riverside Avondale Historic District, a local historic district, so exterior work needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the City before the building permit. For a patio cover, boards typically ask for the roof material and color, the tie-in detail and the distance from the property lines. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Permits in Avondale are issued by the City of Jacksonville through JaxEPICS, and a recorded Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted projects. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
