I had a patio built last fall, and now I'm seeing water dripping in above my new patio door. The contractor installed some angled "boot" features for drainage, but I'm not sure what's causing this leak. He's out of town until Tuesday, and I'm worried because we invested a lot into this project. Has anyone experienced something similar? What could be causing this?

If you have any pictures of the setup, that would really help us understand the situation better! It's hard to say without visuals. Have you checked if the patio is properly sloped away from the house? That can also cause water to pool and leak.
It sounds like there might be an issue with the flashing around your door. If the patio is supposed to keep water out but you're seeing leaks, that typically points to a weak spot at the edge of the roof. A layout or photos of your patio setup might help in pinpointing the problem better.
