Day 7 (late post) Completed Patio cover

Here is a quick video of the completed patio cover

We would like to thank Decathlon Construction for doing a great job!!

They did everything we asked of them.

Thanks to Jerry, Jeff (and crew), Domingo and Walt for giving us a great patio cover.

Frank, Tammy and Madison

Day 6.5 Electrical completed

The electrical is done!

We will probably paint the closed off light plates so that they do not stand out as much.

Wall socket

Ceiling fan from a distance....

Ceiling fan close up.

Day 6 - Electrical and Gutters

Today is electrical and gutters. There is really no way to avoid gutters. We originally thought we could do without them (we did not want to diminish the looks of the wood), but then we thought of the functional aspect of it.... Do we really want all the water pouring directly off the roof onto the deck? uh..no

Outlet for whatever (Christmas lights more than likely)

The outlet below is for a TV/DVD that we will hang eventually.

Below is the look from the front with the gutter work completed

Day 5 - Rest

We were scheduled to complete the stain portion today, but it is too windy outside. :(

Day 4.5 Stain

I did not get a chance to photograph the guys staining the patio cover.

However, below are the results of their efforts. :)

Day 4 Trim

Here are a few pictures of the finish trim... once stained (later today) i will post more pics

.

Day 3 - Roof and underside

Starting to lay down the felt and shingles.....

Preping the underside for the cedar paneling.

Paneling up, just the trim pieces left to put on

They did a really great job!

Roof is done! Shingles match the old roof.

The only things left are:

• Underside trim
• Electrical installation
• Stain (patio cover and Fence)
• Ceiling fan installation

Day - 2 Build

First thing to happen today (they started at 7:30am) was the big timber.

Then they framed up the structure

Here is the look from underneath. with the cedar panel roof sheets.

Here is the fully framed and ready for roofing structure. They did a really good job and as you can see they are cleaning before they leave each day.

Day 1.5 Materials

Looks like we will be parking in the front for a few days......

Day 1 - Demolition

As you can see from the pics they have removed the eaves.

Patio Cover

We have been dying to get a patio cover for years, but there always seemed to be other priorities that prevented us from doing it.

Well NO MORE!!

This blog will chronical the construction of our patio cover by Decathlon Construction.

Out of the 3 quotes we got, Decathlon were the only ones that answered the following question correctly.

"do you need to get a permit?"

They said "Yes, we do"

So far they have been professional and have provided us with precise quotes and excellent communication.
