Pergolas & Pavilions

Shade is the upgrade that makes the rest of your backyard usable. We design and build pergolas, pavilions, and louvered structures sized for your patio, anchored to real footings, and finished to match your home — not bolted-on big-box kits. Cedar, Western Red, painted aluminum, and motorized louvered systems all in our wheelhouse.

Custom Pergola & Pavilion Construction

From an open cedar pergola over a small patio to a full pavilion with solid roof, ceiling fans, lights, and electric — built to spec.
Engineered Footings

Real concrete footings — not surface anchors that wobble in two years

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Pergola vs. pavilion — which do I need?
A: Pergola = open or louvered shade structure. Pavilion = solid roof you can sit under in the rain. Pavilions cost more but turn a patio into a true outdoor room.
A: Yes — quality systems like StruXure and Renson seal tight when closed. We’ve installed them across NoVA with no leaks.
A: Yes, almost always. Anything attached to the house always needs one; freestanding usually does too.

A: Aluminum wins for zero maintenance. Cedar is gorgeous and can last 20+ years with periodic staining.

A: Easier and cheaper to wire during the build. We always recommend planning electric up front.
