Sun & wind study
We map the sun path, prevailing wind, and existing rooflines so the pergola actually shades when you need it.
Engineering & permit
Stamped drawings for permit submittal and HOA review — footings sized for Texas wind, not catalog defaults.
Footings & frame
Footings to engineered depth, posts plumbed and anchored, beams and rafters set with structural connectors.
Electrical & finish
Lighting, fans, heaters, and (on louvered systems) motor and rain sensor wired and commissioned.
Fixed-price, written, approved before we break ground.
Pricing covers footings, frame, roof system, and finish. Lighting, fans, heaters, and screen systems quoted as add-ons.
