Thank you for a clearly explained video. I appreciate the detail you went into talking about the right way to do the flashing. I'm doing research before adding a porch to my house and the flashing was a concern. Kudos to you and your dad for the level of professionalism you put into little details.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I made sure to put in as much information because those were some of the things I had struggle with as well. I made several calls and searched online for the “appropriate” and “correct” ways to perform each step. I just wanted to show people accurate information. I’m glad you found it helpful!
this is the best,,thank you so much for such a concise, simple, clearly stated and filmed video,,Your work is clean and elegant,,I will take a few tips from you when I start my patio
Beautiful work bro! Thank you for sharing! I love Arizona a ton! I hope that you and the family enjoy this terraza for many years to come! Cheers from sunny Puerto Rico!
Awesome job papo to you y la familia. I’m using your video as a guide to help me build my patio roof myself. Thank you for explaining each step, you have given me the confidence to do this myself. 💯
Thank you for watching my video. The process can be challenging and concerning, be sure to measure twice and you will be okay. Look out for electrical and water pipes going through the wooden studs.
These videos are great man, really appreciate you taking the time to do this. I am getting ready to build a patio onto my house and I didn't wan't to cut into the stucco, but it sounds like this is the correct way to do it. Good job getting the help from the wise old men as well haha
David Higdon thank you so much for the feedback! I wish you good luck on your project and make sure to measure twice before you cut into the stucco. You will feel glad you did it right the first time.
@@luisangelmedia4459 Can I ask how difficult it was to install the first piece of z bar flashing? It looks like you install the z bar before you put up the 2x6 ledger. Just wondering how difficult it is to cut into the black paper and slide the first piece of Z flashing up behind the paper?
David Higdon It all depends on how many nails or staples you find between the stucco and the studs. We used long and thin tools like drywall knives or masonry trowel and a hammer to cut the staples or nails. If there is a stubborn nail, you can cut back the Z bar where it hits up against the nail.
@@luisangelmedia4459 when you installed the z bar flashing above the ledger, did you slice into the existing black paper and then slide the z bar flashing up behind the paper? I am getting ready to cut into my stucco to install the ledger board and I am just trying to decide the best way to do this before I get started.
@@davidhigdon8238 yes, you will need to cut the black paper. I was also hesitant on this, but you will see that you need to pull or ram a few of the stucco nails and staples in order to get the Z bar flashing up behind the stucco. The paper will get damaged in this process so, might as well put the Z bar behind the paper.
O wow, super nice and well done, thank you very much for sharing this how to video with all of us, now I know what project I'll be doing next summer to my home, thanks a million.
Well Done...GC in California great work..this is properly done..the extra steps to get it installed right is were we separate the skilled from the rest
One suggestion I would add is on facia outside corners is to seal the 45° end grain with primer or caulking to seal it before putting it together...it will seal good before painting
@@jonrutherig6300 that sounds like a good idea. I actually do this when I frame doors and Windows, so I can see how it would be good for the fascia as well. Thank you.
Your work is outstanding..you consider every aspect of project...nice to see true tradesmen are alive and still doing projects...hope you are training the young guys to carry on your craft...
I do this at my job, i learned a thing or two on your video. Your attention to detail, is something else. Not gonna lie I was a bit sloppy on my work. Thank you for posting this. I subbed.
It’s waterproof flash tape commonly used for exterior doors or windows. Totally unnecessary for this kind of patio build, but my dad had an extra roll and he said to add it to the joints. We don’t do this to new patio builds. So you don’t have to add it.
8:21 Luis, the seams between the osb boards have been taped over with some product. I read we can use duct tape but it doesn’t stick well. What are you using? Thank you for your help
@@Michael-vi2se hello there, nice catch on that. My dad actually used window flashing tape that he had leftover from another job. It’s absolutely not needed and he just wanted somewhere meaningful to use up the rest of it. I’ve built many of these patios and we never done that before.
You peel the top layer first in the first row so be ease for you then the bottom and if you didnt put roof cement on the drip edge You will go back to fix the damage wood .
Thank you for the feedback. I did not use roof cement because the roof rolls already had a layer of the sticky material. Also, Arizona is such a dry state that we usually do not have much problems with water damage, unless it’s completely exposed.
@@danieldresser9368 Thank you. The common thing to do after you finish the patio is to start adding the insulation and drywall. If you don’t want drywall, you can do plaster as well or any decorative wood.
Thank you. And no, here in Phoenix, Arizona, the city did not require me to add anything to the osb except for the paper or in this case, the base sheet roll and the cap sheet.
I have been searching for a video like this...the best step by step video I have seen. You guys did a fantastic job. May I ask what was the approximate cost in material for this job?
Thank you! If you liked this video, I’m uploading a similar, but bigger and better video tomorrow afternoon mountain time. Materials were roughly $2,500.
Yes, she is my wife, she definitely helped a lot in this project. She helped me dig and haul dirt when we poured the concrete as well. It was a nice project for the family to come together to help!
When you did this did you tie the ledger board to an actual wall stud or did you attach it to the side facing bottom tie beam of the truss to get extra height? Looking to do something similar to this soon so curious how it should be done.
@@DustinWofford the ledger board is commonly attached to the top plate, that’s the two 2x4 stacked sideways running across the span of the house, but for this build, I went up a bit higher and I attached it to the vertical 2x4 studs.
It’s common practice to cut the first section shorter so that when you lay down the cap sheet on top of the base sheet, the seams are not on top of each other which causes a small bump. Each section is overlap 4-6 inches, shown by the markings on the sheet and the glue that is already on the seam.
I'm doing something myself, don't want to cut into the stucco, our hottest gets over 100, but not often. What would you recommend for flashing? I understand cutting stucco is best but all the contractors I got bids from did not want to do this.
@@user-ko4di7hr7t if you’re not cutting into the stucco, then just put a normal L flashing from the stucco to the top of the roofing material and seal it with silicone. Be prepared to seal it with silicone or caulking every summer though as it’s going to be your only way to keep the water out.
It looks fantastic so far. I like videos that shows the steps with the thought process. I'm thinking of doing this over our patio. I'll feel more confidence as I go over this a few times. Thank you for this video and I'll be looking for the rest. 👍💯. Sub & Like!!! ❤️
First of all, great video Luis. Question for you, are all the studs in your home (where you installed the ledger) running vertical or were they slightly angled? How do you think these studs are installed in a typical AZ home?
Yes, all the studs are vertical. But I have another video just like this, except that instead of the vertical studs, I anchored it to the top plate. Here is the video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jEY4WI4uWwg.html
Great job on the ledger board. For those of us with stucco homes and no existing roof rafters to tie into, you showed the right way to do it. I've been planning my own build and i couldn't find any videos for weeks that showed the removal of the stucco to expose the rim joists and/or blocking. I can't understand why no one does it this way. Most patio covers in southern california are just screwed into the stucco and I'm assuming they're guessing that they're hitting joists/studs. Only question I have for you is did you just leave the 2" of flashing exposed above the roof or did you try and patch it with stucco ?
Beautiful work. Did the concrete crack from the weight of the covering? That’s what I’m deciding on still. To either put the beams in the ground or on top of the concrete
Nice work. Honestly I didn’t see anything done incorrectly or half ass. And yes the membrane could have been put over the flashing. That’s the only thing I would have done differently.
You can use any material that will comply with weight rating similar to OSB among other things. My city has the specs for this patio build with OSB, so you need to match that or exceed it with whatever else you are intending to use.

@@susyfierros it’s a roll of waterproofing material similar to the base sheet, but used on things like window installs, has multiple uses. It’s not necessary to add this and this is the only time we did it simply because my dad wanted to have more sturdier seams between each board when walking on top of it.
