Pergolas and patio covers.
In a Sacramento summer, shade decides whether a patio gets used. A pergola or cover turns a hot slab into the best room of the house.
What we do differently
Pergolas and lattice covers
Open or lattice tops in wood or low-maintenance materials that cut the afternoon sun while keeping the patio bright.
Solid patio covers
Full covers that keep out sun and rain, with room for fans and lights.
Footings done first
Posts sit on proper footings, poured with the patio or added to an existing one, so the structure stays plumb and solid.
Permits handled
Most attached and freestanding covers need a building permit. We include that in the plan so it does not hold up your start date.
Common questions
Do I need a permit for a pergola or patio cover?
Usually, yes, especially for covers attached to the house or with a solid roof. Requirements vary by city and county, and we check your address before quoting.
Can you add a pergola to my existing patio?
Often, yes. It depends on the slab and where the posts land. Sometimes new footings are cut in, and sometimes the patio is extended first.
What lasts longest in Sacramento sun?
Painted or low-maintenance materials hold up best. Bare wood needs regular sealing to keep from drying and cracking.
