Aluminum and Vinyl Pergolas

Low-maintenance pergolas that do not rot, need no staining and keep their clean lines season after season.

Not everyone wants to stain a pergola every few years. Aluminum and vinyl structures are made to be left alone. They do not rot, do not feed insects, do not need paint and hold their color for years with only an occasional wash.

We install quality aluminum and vinyl systems, choosing profiles and finishes that suit your house. Aluminum is strong and slim, and works well for modern designs and long spans. Vinyl has a clean, painted look and suits traditional homes. We anchor each system correctly, check the manufacturer limits for wind and span and finish the work neatly.

Aluminum strengths

Powder-coated aluminum is strong for its weight, resists rust and holds a crisp, modern line. It works well for louvered roofs and wide spans.

Vinyl strengths

Vinyl is often white or tan and has a classic look. It is easy to clean and does not need repainting, but it has span limits, so we check the maker guidance.

Anchoring and wind

Light structures need solid anchoring. We use proper brackets and footings and follow the manufacturer instructions for wind exposure.

Heat and expansion

Metal and plastic expand and contract with temperature. We allow for it in the design so the structure stays quiet and tight.
