Custom Patios Canberra
If you want an outdoor space that you can use all year, a patio is a great choice. We create patios that match the shape and style of your home and fit your way of living. Whether you like a flat-roof patio for a modern feel or a pitched roof for better air flow, we will work with you to achieve the look and function you need.
Our patios are built with strong steel and aluminum frames. We use Colorbond® or polycarbonate roofs that can handle Canberra’s tough weather. We also have insulated roofs. They are great for keeping out summer heat and winter cold.
Custom designs A variety of roofing styles and colors Built to meet or go beyond ACT building codes Fully approved by the council Durable value
Patio Enclosures & Sunrooms
Do you want to use your patio in every season, not just in spring and summer? Our enclosure choices let you fully or partially close your patio or pergola. This way, you can make a sunroom, garden room, or outdoor dining area that stays safe from wind, rain, and mosquitoes.
We can enclose it with fixed glass, sliding panels, mesh screening, or insulated panels. This is a good way to add usable space without making an expensive addition.

Pergolas
Pergolas quickly add a special feel to any garden or outdoor space. They can stand alone or be connected to your home. They help link your house with your garden. We provide both wooden and metal pergolas to fit different styles— from older homes in Kingston to new properties in Forde.
We can create pergolas without a top for climbing plants. We can also make roofed pergolas that keep you safe throughout the year. You can add lights, privacy screens, or ceiling fans, too.
Custom sizes to fit your area Choices for wood, metal, or other materials Modern and traditional pergola styles Weather-resistant finishes for easy care
Carports
A carport is a good investment. It helps keep your vehicle safe and makes your property more valuable. Whether you want a small carport for one car next to your house or a bigger double carport in front, we can create a design that works for your space.
We use strong steel frames, Colorbond® roofing, and solid footings to make sure your carport can take on storms and hail in the ACT. The designs can be free-standing or built into your home’s roofline for a smooth look.

It depends on the size and any necessary approvals. However, most patio projects usually take about 2 to 4 weeks from when you get approval to when it’s done.
Insulated roofs make your home feel nice throughout the year. They help keep the indoor temperature steady and reduce how much energy you use. This is beneficial for Canberra’s weather. They’re energy-saving and work well to keep your outdoor spaces warm and pleasant during every season.
Romeo’s Patio Canberra makes custom sunrooms. You can choose different materials, layouts, and features to match your style. Create a sunroom that shows your personal taste. This will make you happy and improve your home.
The time needed for installation can vary. It depends on how big and how hard the project is. With Romeo’s Patio Canberra’s experienced team and good project management, most installations finish on time. They also ensure high-quality work.
Patio pricing depends on size, roofing type, and materials, but most standard patios in Canberra start from around $6,000 – $10,000 for a basic steel flat-roof patio. If you’re after a custom gable roof with insulation or integrated lighting, costs typically range from $12,000 to $20,000+. We provide free, no-obligation quotes tailored to your needs.
A basic timber pergola starts at around $3,500, while larger steel-framed or roofed pergolas can cost between $7,000 and $15,000+ depending on design and finish. Enclosed pergolas or ones with integrated lighting or privacy screens will add to the cost. We tailor every quote to your space and requirements.
A 20×20 foot (approximately 6×6 metre) patio can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $18,000, depending on the materials, roof type (flat, gable, or insulated), and site conditions. We’ll assess your site and layout to give you an accurate figure that includes labour, materials, and council approval if needed.
If you’re referring to laying pavers or concrete for the base, expect to pay around $100–$200 per square metre, depending on the surface finish. For a full patio structure (roof, posts, base), complete installation averages between $300 and $500+ per square metre.
