Covered Patios & Outdoor Living in St. Augustine & Northeast Florida
Custom covered patios with vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens.
About Our Covered Patios & Outdoor Living Services
Florida living belongs outdoors — at least for eight months of the year. Wilson & Co designs and builds covered patios that extend your home's living space into the yard. Vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, cedar post-and-beam structures, outdoor fireplaces, built-in grills, and composite or natural wood decking. We engineer every structure for Florida wind loads and driving rain, so your outdoor room performs in hurricane season, not just on calm evenings. From screened-in porches to fully open pavilions, every detail is designed around how you actually use the space.
