A patio or pergola is usually the cheapest way to add usable living space to a Coombabah home. We handle the design, the structure, the roofing and the finish as one job.
Tell us roughly what you want the space to do and we will inspect the site in Coombabah and come back with a fixed written price.
Tell us about the work you're considering and our team will be in touch within 1 business day.
A patio should look like part of the house, not something bolted on afterwards. We set roof pitch, post positions, fascia lines and gutter runs so the new structure reads as if it was always there.
Coombabah is a settled family suburb backing onto wetland reserve, with large blocks and plenty of room behind the house for a covered outdoor area.
The stock is mostly single-storey brick and tile homes from the 1980s and 1990s, often with a small original awning that no longer covers a usable table.
Backyards here tend to be flat and open, which suits an attached patio roof running the width of the rear alfresco rather than a small bolt-on cover.
We quote after inspecting the property, not from photos. Post locations, footing depths, tie-in details and drainage all change the price, so it is better to sort them out before you commit than to discover them mid-build.

Not every job is new. We replace tired awnings and failing lattice pergolas, re-roof leaking patios, repair or replace rotted posts and beams, and rebuild structures that were never engineered for the loads they carry. If a repair is the sensible answer, we will quote the repair.
Where the house roof line will not work, a freestanding pergola or cabana sited away from the building often gives a better result. It can be positioned for the view, the breeze or the pool rather than for whatever the existing fascia allows, and it keeps the house structure untouched.

Attached patio roofs are the workhorse of Queensland outdoor living. We build insulated panel, flyover and gable style patios that connect cleanly into the existing roof or fascia, with a pitch that keeps the space bright rather than dark and boxed in. Span, post spacing and beam sizing are set for the structure you actually want, not for whatever the standard kit allows.
A pergola gives you shade and structure without closing the sky off. We build hardwood and treated pine pergolas with proper joinery at the connections, batten spacing chosen for the sun angle over your yard, and posts set on engineered footings rather than surface plates. Left natural, oiled or painted, they hold up far better than a flat-pack frame.
An entertaining area needs more than a roof. We plan the space around the table, the barbecue or outdoor kitchen, power and lighting, fans and where people will move between the kitchen and outside. Getting the ceiling height and the width right at design stage is what separates a space that gets used every week from one that feels tight.
Roofing choice sets the temperature under the structure. Insulated panels cut radiant heat and give a clean flat ceiling, single-skin colorbond is the budget option, polycarbonate keeps light coming into rooms behind, and a mix of the two often works best. We also handle guttering, downpipes and stormwater connection so water goes where it should.
We inspect the property, then put an itemised fixed price in writing covering structure, roofing, fixings and rubbish removal. No vague allowances.
We are carpenters first, so a structure can be designed around your house rather than trimmed to fit a catalogue kit.
Engineering, footings, structure, roofing, electrical coordination and finishing carpentry are managed by the one team, so nothing falls between trades.
Materials and fixings are chosen for Gold Coast sun, storms and, near the water, salt air, which is what determines whether a structure still looks good in ten years.
We walk the yard with you, check the roof line, ground levels, sun path and where posts can realistically land, and talk through how you want to use the space.
We settle the style, roofing type, timber or steel structure, ceiling treatment and finishes, and confirm anything that affects price before quoting.
You receive an itemised quote covering structure, roofing, fixings, engineering where required, electrical coordination and site clean-up.
Where a structure needs an engineer's design or building approval, we organise the documentation and certification as part of the job.
Footings, frame, roofing, guttering and finishing carpentry, worked around your household rather than taking over the property.
Final walkthrough, defect check, clean site and any certificates or product warranties handed over with the invoice.
Whether it is a pergola over the back deck or a full covered entertaining area, we will look at the site, tell you what is realistic and quote it properly. QBCC Licence No. 15620733.
