A patio with no shade is a patio nobody uses in July. Here is how a pergola turns bare concrete into the favorite room of the house.
Most backyard patios start as a slab of concrete off the back door. Add a table and chairs and you get a hot, bright spot that is hard to enjoy. A pergola changes that. It gives the patio a ceiling, filters the sun and defines the space so it feels like a room outside.
We size the pergola to the patio and the furniture, place posts so they do not block doors or views and match the style to the house. We can attach it to the wall or let it stand free, and we plan lights, fans and plants so the finished space is ready for real use.
Posts and beams frame the space.
Rafters spaced for the light you want.
Style, trim and color tied together.
Dining and lounge areas fit.
Power planned in the design.
Built to last.

An open pergola filters light. Solid roofs make rooms darker, and skylights can help.
