Welcome to Mr. and Mrs. Tyson’s back patio space.

This patio has rest and relaxation written all over it, doesn’t it? It’s got a ceiling fan. Some nice patio furniture. Some nice plants. A pull down screen for some extra shade or privacy. This space makes you want to just take a load off, kick back, and sip on some ice cold sweet tea. These people know how to do it.

But this was not always the case…

According to Mr. Tyson during our review of his finished patio cover, he tells us that the space before it was covered used to be nearly unbearably hot. Their home was positioned in such a way that their back patio got brutalized by direct sunlight.  You would get baked. They had a really nice area, but unfortunately they could not use it or enjoy it to its fullest extent.

The Tysons saw Durante Home Exteriors at the Galleria Mall Home Show, and scheduled a free estimate to have us come out and look at what could be done. They needed a solution to cover their patio space so they could have a relaxing area with much shade.

Durante Home Exteriors specializes in affordable patio structures like patio covers and pergolas. The Tysons decided to hire Durante Home Exteriors to install a heavy-duty custom built aluminum patio cover with a thick insulated thermal roof.

Some of the features of the patio cover installed by Durante Home Exteriors include:

  • Heavy-duty fully extruded aluminum for extra strength
  • A solid thermal roof that deflects the sun’s heat, proving much-needed protection and shade
  • A durable finish that will not peel, crack, warp or get eaten by insects

How It Turned Out

As you can see, the Tysons can now enjoy their patio space in a whole new way. In fact Mr. Tyson told us that he couldn’t believe the difference in temperature the new patio cover made, not just to the outside temperature, but also to the inside temperature as well. He tells us their kitchen is considerably cooler because the new patio cover blocks all the heat and sunlight that used to stream through.
