What people built
Patios made up most of the list (about 68 permits labelled as patios, including unit patios and steel patios). Carports accounted for 4, shade sails and shade structures for 6 and pergolas for 2. Half of all jobs were valued between roughly $10,500 and $19,300, and the largest standard patio job was about $42,400. Two much larger projects, a $201,000 limestone-walled shade structure and a $1.1 million steel-framed patio cover over a hardcourt, are left out of these figures.
