Pergolas & Shade Structures

Custom cedar, steel, and louvered pergolas with integrated lighting.

Free-standing or roof-tied. Open beams, sailcloth, or motorized louvers. We design and build pergolas that hold up to Texas wind and sun — with engineered footings, structural connections, and integrated lighting and fans on day one.

When You Need This

Cedar, steel, and louvered roofs that turn a patio into a room.

  • Patio is unusable from 11am–4pm in summer
  • You want a permanent shade structure over the kitchen or spa
  • Existing pergola sags, leaks, or has rotten posts
  • You want louvers that open for sun and close for rain
  • Lighting, fans, and heaters need to integrate with the structure
  • HOA requires engineered drawings

Our Process

From design walk to final punch.

01

Sun & wind study

We map the sun path, prevailing wind, and existing rooflines so the pergola actually shades when you need it.

02

Engineering & permit

Stamped drawings for permit submittal and HOA review — footings sized for Texas wind, not catalog defaults.

03

Footings & frame

Footings to engineered depth, posts plumbed and anchored, beams and rafters set with structural connectors.

04

Electrical & finish

Lighting, fans, heaters, and (on louvered systems) motor and rain sensor wired and commissioned.
