Custom shade styles & configurations

Classic Rafter Pergolas

Artisanal wood joinery with sculpted rafter tails that cast soft moving shade over patios, grilling stations, and seating areas.

Covered Canopies & Awnings

Total rain protection and UV blocking so you can dine or lounge outdoors in almost any weather.

Integrated Glass & Railings

Combine your overhead canopy with glass wind screens or railing packages for unobstructed coastal sightlines.

Built Coastal-Grade

Shade structures that hold up to salt air and storms

Every pergola and canopy is anchored and joined for coastal wind loads. We choose materials and fasteners that resist corrosion and UV breakdown, and finish every post wrap and rafter tail with the same trim-carpentry standards we bring to our sunrooms and porches.

Open-air or polycarbonate covered canopies

Frequently Asked Questions

Pergola & canopy FAQs

What is included with your free pergola estimate?

All of our estimates include a fully detailed scope of the work to be completed. You'll receive a written report with a breakdown of the cost and time estimated for your project.

What styles of pergolas and canopies do you build?

We build open-louver architectural pergolas, solid-canopy patio covers, retractable and fixed awning systems, and glass-railing integrated canopies designed for coastal settings.

Can pergolas provide protection against rain?

Yes. While open-rafter pergolas focus on filtered shade and airflow, we can integrate polycarbonate or solid canopy roof systems that provide full rain shelter.

How will you handle the scheduling of your work orders?

We communicate with you every step of the way. If we can see that we won't have the work completed by the agreed-upon time, we'll reach out to set a new completion date.

Can you bill my home insurance?

We cannot bill your insurance, but we will provide all the documentation you need to file for reimbursement.
