Pergolas, Patio Covers & Outdoor Structures

We offer a variety of outdoor structures to suit different needs, styles, and budgets:

Pergolas

Pergolas are open structures with vertical posts and a slatted roof. They provide partial shade while allowing air to flow freely. Pergolas are perfect for defining outdoor spaces, supporting climbing plants, or creating a focal point in your yard. They work well over decks, patios, or as standalone garden features.

Solid Patio Covers

Solid patio covers have a full roof that provides complete protection from sun and rain. They are ideal if you want a fully covered outdoor room that you can use year-round. We can attach them to your house or build them as freestanding structures.

Lattice Patio Covers

Lattice covers have a criss-cross pattern that lets some light through while providing shade. They offer more coverage than a pergola but more light than a solid roof. Lattice covers are a popular middle-ground option.

Gazebos

Gazebos are freestanding structures with a full roof and open sides. They are perfect for creating an outdoor seating area, hot tub enclosure, or garden retreat. Gazebos add a touch of elegance to any backyard.

Shade Sails

Shade sails are modern, fabric structures that stretch between posts or attachment points. They offer flexible, stylish shade solutions and work well in contemporary settings.

The materials you choose affect the look, durability, and maintenance requirements of your structure. Here are the most common options:

• Wood: Classic and versatile, wood pergolas and covers have a natural, warm appearance. Cedar and redwood are popular for their beauty and natural resistance to rot. Wood requires periodic staining or sealing to maintain its appearance.
• Vinyl: Low-maintenance and affordable, vinyl structures resist rot, insects, and moisture. They come in white or neutral colors and never need painting. Vinyl is a practical choice for homeowners who want minimal upkeep.
• Aluminum: Strong, lightweight, and rust-resistant, aluminum is ideal for solid patio covers. It can support roofing materials like corrugated panels or shingles and comes in various colors.
• Composite: Made from wood fibers and recycled plastic, composite materials offer the look of wood with less maintenance. They resist fading, cracking, and warping.
• Steel: For large or heavy-duty structures, steel provides maximum strength. It is often used for attached patio covers or commercial-grade installations.

We will help you choose materials that fit your budget, match your home's style, and meet your maintenance preferences.

Adding a pergola or patio cover to your outdoor space provides real benefits:

• Comfortable outdoor living: Shade makes your patio or deck usable even on the hottest days. You can relax, entertain, or dine outside without getting sunburned.
• Protection for furniture: Covered outdoor furniture lasts longer because it is shielded from sun and weather.
• Increased home value: Well-designed outdoor structures enhance curb appeal and can increase your property value.
• Defined outdoor spaces: Pergolas and covers create distinct zones for dining, lounging, or cooking, making your backyard more functional.
• Energy savings: Shade structures over windows or doors reduce heat gain, which can lower your air conditioning costs.
• Customization options: Add lighting, fans, curtains, or climbing plants to personalize your structure and make it your own.

We take a custom approach to every project. Here is how we bring your outdoor structure to life:

Step 1: Consultation and Design

We visit your property to discuss your goals, take measurements, and assess the site. We will talk about your style preferences, budget, and how you plan to use the space. Then we create a custom design with 3D renderings or drawings so you can visualize the finished structure.

Step 2: Material Selection

We help you choose the right materials for your project. We can show you samples and explain the pros and cons of each option. We also provide a detailed written estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

Step 3: Permits and Approvals

Most outdoor structures require building permits. We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local inspectors to ensure everything meets code requirements.

Step 4: Construction

Our experienced crew builds your structure on-site using quality materials and proper construction techniques. We keep the work area clean and minimize disruption to your daily routine. Most projects are completed in one to two weeks depending on size and complexity.

Step 5: Final Walkthrough

When construction is complete, we walk through the finished project with you to make sure everything meets your expectations. We clean up the site and show you how to maintain your new structure.

We serve homeowners throughout Antioch, Brentwood, Oakley, and the surrounding East Bay. We understand California's climate and know how to build structures that hold up to sun, heat, and occasional rain. We use materials rated for outdoor use and construction methods that ensure your structure lasts for decades.
