Big spending

I am hoping for some help here, in the next several weeks I will be doing alot of spending
$14,500 roofing
$ 4,000 patio
$ 1,000 landscaping
$600-1200 average monthly expenses

I currently have:

capital one venture
just recieved the chase saphire
and Discovercard
just cancelled the chase continental card last week

Within the next week I will probably have to pay a deposit on the roof (5,000), and week after that the patio ($4,000) I will use the saphire on the patio to qualify for my 3k required spend. I will be able to pay off the entire balances so interest rate is not a concern.

Any ideas on what would be a good card to apply for with the spending I am about to do? Or should I just take the Capital one 2%?

My airport doesnt have American airlines, so that and British Air card dont seem to be beneficial. I didnt jump on the Amex 50k bonus because the Columbia grad school target, and not many peaople seem that successful on talking there way into a bigger bonus. I dont see anything else that my initial spend will be a big benefit. I have scanned the forums before asking, but hoping that there are other ideas that I just missed. As you can see I dont really have much oppertunity to wait for the next great deal. Thanks for any assistance.
