A patio cover attached to your house must be properly flashed into the existing roof or wall. Poor flashing is the number one cause of leaks from patio covers. We install step flashing and counter-flashing that integrates with your existing waterproofing.

“I used Buildda to install new pavers in my backyard, and the transformation is fantastic. The team communicated clearly from the start, and the job stayed on schedule with no surprises. The pavers are beautifully laid and have really upgraded the look of my outdoor space. I'm very pleased with the attention to detail Buildda showed, and I'd recommend them without hesitation.”
