Covered patio with a new extension
- The job
The covered back patio was too small, and the owners wanted more room past the roofline.
- What we found
The existing covered slab was sound, so it could stay and be extended instead of replaced.
- What we did
We formed the extension against the old slab with an isolation joint, reinforced it and poured it to the same finish.
Worth knowing. If the old patio is solid, extending it costs far less than replacing it.
