I ordered my Patio Cover in March 2021 and it was worth the wait.

To preface this with some background information.

The contract stated the installation would take place in roughly a month, however CBS made me aware of the delays that they were being affected by. As I have some experience with supply chain issues, I knew that it would take much much longer. Between the lockdown delays, then flooding issues in BC, worldwide aluminum shortages, manufacturing delays stemming from both lockdowns and people just getting sick, it took approximately 13 months to complete. CBS is not alone in this, multinational companies all over the world are defaulting on large contracts due to an inability to deliver on agreed times. It's just the reality of our world at this time. I did keep an eye thier social media feed, and they kept turning out new projects, which was quite heartening as it showed they were still in business, just slowed down.

On to the Patio itself. I worked with Bob to come up with a design that would fit the unique L shaped deck, and we talked about 3 different designs, then finally settled on 2 planes. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted, but was fuzzy on some of the details. Bob took me through the different ideas and presented the pro's and cons as well as what was actually possible. We settled on the design you see in the pictures attached. I had some concerns about drainage due to the patio sidewalk beside the concrete deck, but those were addressed through the design process. I was initially going to choose white, but Bob and my wife convinced me that black was the better choice and that it would pull the entire structure together and match the house nicely. They were totally right.

In the end, I got exactly what I wanted, and I've quite happy with the results. I've tested the water drainage, been up on the roof to check over the work, and even worked out how to clean the glass fairly easily. Being a DIY'er, my next step is to add a glass railing next summer and some blinds. CBS offered to include those, but unfortunately that just wasn't in my budget this year as we opted to add Gemstone lighting to it instead. (Not affiliated with CBS).

It was honestly worth the wait. Not having to put away cushions and pull them out every time I want to enjoy a coffee in the morning. No wet cushions from dew. being able to sit on my patio with the heater on while it's gently snowing with a blanket and a hot chocolate. Or cook steaks on my little firepit while it started to drizzle. Being able to BBQ without getting wet in the rain or snow! It took a long time, but it was worth it.

We had our deck enclosed with glass walls on 2 sides, a glass door, and a motorized screen on the front. I waited longer than I would have wanted (4 month delay as there were some issues in the supply chain due to a factory move), however in the end it was done and I love the sunroom. It was built exactly to my specifications and the quality is very good. Danny and Bob the Builder promised if I could have a bit of patience I would love it. They were right. Now it is ready in time for Alberta spring, and I am looking forward to watching the snow fall with the fire table and patio heater on this winter.

The finished job looks absolutely fabulous! The supply chain for materials delayed the project, but once the materials arrived, everything moved ahead quickly. The team was efficient and the work was top notch. The transparent roof patio cover lets in a lot of light and is so useful to keep the snow off the pathway between the house and garage in winter - no shovelling to walk from the back door to the heated garage. In the summer, I think i can set up a table & chairs under the roof and enjoy drinks when it rains. Just love it!!
