Custom Pergolas for Your Outdoor Space

Our custom pergolas are designed to add both style and functionality to any outdoor space. Whether you’re looking to create a shaded patio, a stunning backyard feature, or a rooftop oasis, we design and build pergolas that are tailored to your unique vision and outdoor needs.

Types of Pergolas

We offer a variety of pergola styles to fit any design aesthetic, including:

  • Traditional Pergolas: Classic designs with open-beam roofs that offer partial shade while maintaining an open, airy feel.
  • Modern Pergolas: Sleek, minimalist designs with clean lines, perfect for contemporary outdoor spaces.
  • Attached Pergolas: Built onto your home or existing structure to extend your living space and create a seamless indoor-outdoor transition.
  • Freestanding Pergolas: Independent structures that can be placed anywhere in your yard, garden, or rooftop to create a focal point or gathering area.

Materials & Customization

Our pergolas are available in a range of durable materials, including:

  • Wood: Ideal for a natural, warm look that complements both traditional and modern designs.
  • Composite: Low-maintenance material that mimics the look of wood but offers greater resistance to the elements.
  • Aluminum: Lightweight and rust-resistant, perfect for sleek, modern pergolas.

Each pergola is fully customizable, with options for:

  • Size and Shape: Custom sizes to fit your space, including rectangular, square, or L-shaped designs.
  • Roofing Options: Choose between open-beam roofs, retractable canopies, or louvered roofs for adjustable shade and weather protection.

We specialize in designing and installing pergolas for rooftops, patios, and decks. Our lightweight materials and expert engineering ensure that rooftop pergolas comply with local weight limits and building codes, offering you a stylish and functional addition to your space.

Design Process

Our process starts with an in-person consultation where we discuss your ideas, take measurements, and assess your space. Within days, we provide a detailed 3D rendering of the proposed pergola design. You’ll have the opportunity to review and request modifications to ensure the final design reflects your vision.

Installation & Compliance

We handle the entire installation process, ensuring that all work is done in compliance with local building codes. Whether it’s a freestanding pergola in your backyard or a custom structure for your rooftop, our team of experienced builders will ensure that your pergola is installed securely and efficiently.

Benefits of Pergolas

  • Adds Outdoor Living Space: Create a functional outdoor area for dining, relaxing, or entertaining guests.
  • Provides Shade & Comfort: Pergolas offer shade and protection from the sun, making your outdoor space more enjoyable year-round.
  • Increases Property Value: A well-designed pergola enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home and can increase its market value.

Cost & Timeline

The cost of a custom pergola depends on the size, materials, and design complexity. For example:

  • Wooden Pergolas: A 10’ x 10’ pergola made from cedar starts at $4,500 and typically takes 1-2 days to complete.
  • Aluminum Pergolas: A 12’ x 12’ louvered aluminum pergola starts at $6,650 and can be assembled in just one day.
