Custom pergolas for patios in Central Florida. Shade and style for your backyard. Licensed contractors. Free estimates.
Your backyard needs shade and definition, but you don't want to block out the sky completely. A pergola gives you the best of both—filtered light and shelter from the sun, with clean lines that frame your outdoor space.
We design and build pergolas sized and styled for your home and your yard's exposure. Treated lumber or vinyl, designed to handle Central Florida humidity and weather. Every project starts with a site visit so we understand your sun patterns, views, and how you actually use your space.
Our work is backed by licensing and insurance. See our completed projects online or call for a free estimate.
A pergola is a post-and-beam structure that provides partial shade through its roof pattern. We build pergolas attached to your house, freestanding over a patio or seating area, or as a gateway feature. The roof can be solid, slatted, or lattice depending on how much shade you want. We can add ceiling fans, lighting, and upgrades like retractable shade systems for more control over sun and comfort.
Size matters first—a small pergola over a seating nook costs less than one covering a full patio. Materials drive price too; wood pergolas cost less upfront but need maintenance, while aluminum and vinyl cost more but last longer with less upkeep. Foundation type, roof style, site conditions, and any electrical or structural work on your existing house also change the bid.
We start with a site visit to see your yard, understand your vision, and explain options. Once you approve the design and budget, we secure the foundation, set the posts, frame the beams and roof, and finish with any trim, stain, paint, or hardware. A small pergola might take two or three days; larger projects take longer depending on complexity and any other outdoor work.
In most Central Florida counties, a simple pergola needs a permit if it's over a certain size or attached to the house. We know the local codes and handle the paperwork as part of our bid. Some municipalities require inspections. We'll tell you what applies to your project.
A well-built wood pergola lasts 15 to 20 years if stained or sealed regularly. Vinyl and aluminum pergolas last 20-plus years with minimal maintenance. The foundation and fasteners matter just as much as the frame. We use quality materials and proper installation so your pergola holds up.
Yes. An attached pergola needs a solid ledger bolted to your home's rim board, proper flashing to keep water out, and a strong beam. If the attachment point is high or the roof loads are heavy, we may need to reinforce the house structure first. We assess that during the site visit.
A pergola is designed to move with wind, not resist it like a roof does. Slatted or lattice roofs shed wind better than solid ones. We build to local wind codes, use proper fastening and bracing, and make sure the foundation is rock solid so the whole structure survives.
