Ways to Cover a Southside Patio

Wood or finished ceiling. A ceiling that makes the cover feel like a room.
Clear sightlines. Column placement planned so the roof frames the view instead of blocking it.
Matching floor. Pavers carried over the old slab and the new area so it reads as one.
Heaters for cool nights. Heaters mounted in the cover so the patio works in January too.

Cloudy days still bring sun exposure: the Skin Cancer Foundation says up to 80% of UV rays can pass through clouds.

What Shapes a covered patio extension in Southside

Our design studio is on the Southside, so Southside homeowners are our neighbors. Gated golf and lake communities such as Deerwood and Tamaya run their own architectural review. On a compact lot, a roofed space has to earn its footprint, so we size it to the furniture and nothing more.

Columns decide the view. We place them so they frame the yard from the family room instead of landing in the middle of it. Before we draw a covered patio extension in Southside, we check how the new roof meets the existing roofline, how much light the rooms behind it will keep and how the floor carries out from the old slab.

The Skin Cancer Foundation notes that a roof blocks direct sun while some UV still reflects in from bright surfaces such as concrete or dry sand.

Approvals and Permits in Southside

Many Southside homes are in planned or gated communities, such as Deerwood and Tamaya, with their own architectural review. Boards usually want elevations showing how the new cover meets the roofline, along with the roofing material and the setbacks. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Permits in Southside 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.

Tie-in to the house; ceiling, fans and lights; screens; the floor; and engineering and permits all move the number. Every AY Luxury Designs project has a $10,000 minimum, and the itemized quote arrives within 24 hours of your consultation.

Pergola or patio cover: which is better?A pergola gives filtered shade with an open feel. A covered patio gives full protection from sun and rain. Many homes use both in different spots.

Have you built in eTown?Yes. In eTown we built a screen enclosure and an outdoor kitchen on a new paver patio. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Do I need HOA approval for a covered patio extension in Southside?Only if your home has an association or deed restrictions. On the Southside, review depends on the address: gated communities and newer neighborhoods like eTown have an architectural review board, while many older streets don't. Where a board applies, we prepare its package and submit it with you. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Do I need a permit for a covered patio extension in Southside?In most cases, yes. In Southside, permits come from the City of Jacksonville. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections, and every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
