Pergola Construction

What This Service Involves

A well-designed pergola turns an open patio into a destination, framing outdoor seating while filtering the low PNW sun. We build ours from rot-resistant cedar or powder-coated aluminum so the structure shrugs off Puget Sound rain and damp winters. Posts are anchored to code-compliant footings that account for our region's saturated soils and wind exposure. Whether you want an open-rafter design or an integrated louvered canopy, we tailor the proportions to your home's architecture.
