Pergola Builder in Houston, TX

Houston summers are long. A pergola makes the backyard usable for more of them.

A good pergola throws filtered shade over a patio, deck, or pool, frames the yard, and still looks sharp years later. A weak one twists, sags, or lifts in the first big wind. Our crews build custom cedar pergolas from the ground up: posts anchored in concrete footings, beams and rafters sized for the span, and structural hardware that holds up in coastal humidity.

Attached pergolas that extend the house

An attached pergola ties into your home, so the shade starts right at the back door. We fasten the ledger to the house framing instead of just the siding, flash the connection to keep water out, and match the height to your roofline and doors. It's the most natural way to turn a slab patio into an outdoor room.

Freestanding pergolas anywhere in the yard

A freestanding pergola stands on its own posts, so it can go where the view is: over a pool deck, an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, or a garden path. With nothing to lean on, footing depth and bracing matter even more. We set it to hold square through storm season.

Cedar, built on site

Cedar resists rot and insects naturally, takes stain beautifully, and holds its shape better than pine as it dries. We cut posts, beams, and rafter tails to your design on site, then stain and seal to protect them from Houston sun and rain. Want more shade? Tighter rafter spacing or shade cloth helps. Keep in mind that a pergola filters sun but doesn't stop rain, so if you need a fully covered roof, tell us up front.

Pair it with a deck, fence, or gate

Many pergolas sit on top of a new wood deck. Add a cedar privacy fence around the yard and a matching gate, and the whole backyard reads as one project. One crew, one warranty.
