A pergola tied into the house that extends your living space outdoors, with flashing and structure done right where it meets the wall.
An attached pergola turns the space just outside your back door into a true outdoor room. It shades the windows, connects the house to the yard and makes a natural place for a table or sofa. Because it touches the house, it has to be built with care.
We attach the structure with a proper ledger, flashing and fasteners that go into the framing, never just the siding. We place posts to carry the load, set the roof pitch and spacing to suit the house, and seal the joint so water does not get behind it. The result looks like part of the home and protects it.
The point where the pergola meets the wall is the most important detail. We flash it and fasten it into framing so water stays out and the structure stays secure.
Even attached pergolas need strong footings at the outer posts. We size them for the load, the soil and local requirements.
A pergola over the back of the house can cool rooms by blocking summer sun. We plan the height and spacing to shade windows without darkening them.
We set the height and slope so the pergola does not clash with eaves or block upstairs windows. A clean line keeps the house looking balanced.
