Melbourne Elite Patio Covers provides professional wood patio covers in Melbourne, FL for residential and commercial properties across the Space Coast. We build in timber when the look is genuinely the point, and we talk people out of it when it is not. Both conversations happen regularly, because Brevard is a harder place to own a wood structure than the catalogue photograph suggests.
Two things work against it. Moisture, because our humidity cycles swell and shrink boards all year rather than seasonally. And subterranean termites, which are endemic in this county and locate untreated timber against damp ground with impressive reliability. Neither is a reason never to build in wood.
They do mean the detailing matters more than the species. Posts sit on standoff bases so end grain never touches concrete. Beams get hangers, straps and through-bolts, because uplift is a real design load here and a nailed connection is not a connection in a storm. Hardware is hot-dip galvanised inland, stainless near salt.
On species: treated southern pine is economical and takes stain well, but it moves as it dries, so we oversize and detail for that. Western red cedar is more stable, more naturally rot-resistant and considerably dearer, and it is what we specify where a structural beam sits at eye level over an outdoor kitchen.
Then there is maintenance, which is not optional. Clean and re-coat every two to three years, and sooner than that on a west elevation. Let it slide and you get surface checking, then water standing in the checks, then soft wood at the connections, and that sequence does not reverse with a fresh coat of stain.
The one place we will not recommend timber is a structure you intend to screen. Screen framing needs a substrate that holds its dimensions, and wood that moves through the year opens gaps along the spline line. If enclosure is anywhere in the plan, aluminum saves you the callback.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — extruded 6063 aluminum framing, 18x14 and no-see-um insect cloth, screw-chase and snap-cover extrusions, spline-and-groove screen retention, engineered piers and thickened slab edges, uplift straps and anchor schedules — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Melbourne and nearby communities including Palm Bay, West Melbourne, Melbourne Village, Indialantic.

Materials, equipment and how we do wood patio covers
The difference between wood patio covers that lasts and wood patio covers that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with extruded 6063 aluminum framing, 18x14 and no-see-um insect cloth, screw-chase and snap-cover extrusions, spline-and-groove screen retention, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Melbourne job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of patio cover work in the Space Coast means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
