Wood pergolas

Timeless beams and rafters that filter sunlight and frame dining and lounge areas. Warm, classic and endlessly customizable.

  • Cedar and other durable woods

More than shade — a finished outdoor room.

A great cover is designed around your home's architecture, the sun's path and how you'll use the space. We size posts and beams properly, handle permits, and plan wiring before the roof goes on.

Pergolas pair beautifully with an outdoor kitchen underneath and a paver or stone patio below — all designed and built by one team.

FAQ

Pergolas & patio covers, answered.

Still have questions?

Talk to a designer — we're happy to help, even if you're just exploring.

What's the difference between a pergola and a patio cover?
A pergola has an open or slatted roof that filters sun; a patio cover has a solid roof that blocks sun and rain completely. Louvered roofs offer the best of both — adjustable slats that open for light or close for shade and rain.
Wood or aluminum?
Wood (like cedar) offers natural warmth and a classic look but needs periodic sealing. Aluminum is low-maintenance and modern. We'll help you weigh looks, maintenance and budget.
Do I need a permit for a pergola or patio cover in San Jose?
Many covers — especially attached or larger structures — require a permit. We'll confirm what the City of San Jose requires for your project and help with the paperwork and HOA documentation.
Can you add lights, fans and heaters?
Yes. We pre-plan wiring for lighting, ceiling fans and patio heaters so everything is clean and integrated.
Can a pergola cover an outdoor kitchen?
Absolutely — it's one of the most popular upgrades. A cover protects your outdoor kitchen and lets you cook in any weather; we plan clearances and venting for grills.
Attached or freestanding?
Attached covers extend your living space directly off the house; freestanding pergolas and pavilions create a destination elsewhere in the yard — over a lounge, a pool area or a dining zone.
