    What We Do

    A pergola makes a patio feel like a room. We build cedar and pressure-treated pergolas, plus install aluminum kit pergolas (StruXure, Sojag, Yardistry) on real concrete footings — not just bolted to a slab. Whether it's freestanding over a patio, attached to the house, or shading a hot tub, we frame it to last decades.

    Who This Is For

    • Homeowners adding shade and structure to a patio or deck
    • Property owners building outdoor entertaining space
    • Folks installing aluminum louvered pergolas (StruXure, Pergola Kits Direct)
    • Anyone who wants a pergola that won't sag, twist, or pull loose in 5 years

    What's Included

    • Concrete pier footings sized for the structure and our wind load
    • Heavy 6x6 cedar or PT posts (or aluminum per kit spec)
    • Through-bolted beam and rafter connections — no toenails
    • Decorative rafter tails or clean modern ends — your style
    • Optional roof slats, canopy fabric, or louvered roof installation
    • Stain or sealer on wood; permit and inspection if required

    Pergolas — FAQs

    Cedar looks better, smells better, and weathers to a beautiful silver-gray. PT is cheaper and lasts plenty long if you stain it. Cedar's the upgrade most folks are happy they made.
