Comments (0)My husband and I are thinking about turning our concrete patio (uncovered) into a simple screened in patio. We've been getting quotes and we find them to be very high. We are just outside Charlotte, NC in South Carolina. We don't want anything fancy at all. These are the specs: 1) 14x17 on existing concrete patio 2) shingled shed roof to match home's roofline 3) Simple construction - no interior finishing like beaded ceilings and no exterior finishing like shingles 4) One screen door leading into yard 5) Electrical run so we can have a ceiling fan overhead All our quotes thus far have been for $13K or more to have this screened in patio built. That seems high considering we want a no-frills, very simple screened in patio.

Comments (2)We did something similar. We didn't lay tile, and although the patio was your typical small one that comes with most houses, we wanted a much larger area attached to it. There was also a sidewalk we had to incorporate into the design. No concrete matched any concrete due to stains and age differences. We hired someone to pour a new concrete patio next to the existing sidewalk and old patio. Then someone else came and painted all the concrete light gray, laid strips of tape to form stones, used 3 colors of stain, lifted the tape, sealed it all, and it is gorgeous! One big flat patio! Our job totaled $10,000 here in Southern California.

Comments (3)Put a few retaining walls, nice steps to the back yard and few short columns of flower boxes with some sitting area between them and you will have a beautiful raised patio. There are many ways of doing this best way to get a local landscaping company specializing in hardscape designs and based on your budget they will put something together for you.
