FAQ

Questions Homeowners Commonly Ask

Find answers to common questions about timelines, design, and our remodeling process. If you don't see your question here, feel free to reach out directly.

How does a pergola differ from a patio cover?
A pergola features an open, slatted roof design that allows partial sunlight and airflow, whereas a patio cover has a solid roof for complete weather protection. Pergolas are ideal for defining a space and providing dappled shade.
How much shade will a pergola actually provide?
The amount of shade depends on the size and spacing of the top slats (purlins). We can customize the spacing to provide your preferred balance of sunlight and shade.
What materials do you use for pergolas?
We primarily build robust, heavy-timber pergolas using premium woods like cedar, which are naturally resistant to rot and insects. We can also discuss other durable material options during your consultation.
Can you customize the size and layout?
Yes. Every pergola we build is custom-designed for your specific space, whether it's covering a small seating area or spanning a large outdoor kitchen.
Where is the best place to put a pergola?
Pergolas can be attached to your home over a back patio or built freestanding by a pool, fire pit, or garden area to create a distinct outdoor destination.
Can I add lighting or fans to my pergola later?
Yes, many homeowners choose to add outdoor-rated string lights, hanging fixtures, or ceiling fans. If you plan to add these, let us know so we can design the structure to easily accommodate the wiring.
What maintenance is required?
Wood pergolas will need to be cleaned and re-stained or sealed periodically to maintain their color and protect against weathering. The frequency depends on sun exposure and the type of finish used.
