We designed a 20ft x 20ft patio cover in the north suburbs of New York City, featuring a durable membrane roof to protect an outdoor kitchen and sitting area. The design accommodated shallow bedrock and was customized to match the house and deck’s existing style. The result is a cohesive, stylish outdoor space built for gatherings.

In Cook County, IL, a client requested a customized version of our popular "The Louver" pergola design to support a 6kW solar system, integrating renewable energy into their outdoor space. He chose Diamond Piers over traditional footings, meeting local building codes and simplifying installation. The homeowner built the pergola himself, creating a stylish, eco-friendly structure that blends functionality with sustainability.

We recently completed a custom patio cover in Utah, seamlessly attaching an 18ft x 24ft roofed structure to a stucco wall. To ensure stability, we installed 30" deep concrete footings per local building codes. The cover was designed with a slope to direct water away from the house, and the project included extending the concrete patio, creating a more functional and appealing outdoor space for our client.

This client liked the look of “The Classic,” but there was one problem - the standard sizes we have wouldn’t cover his patio! No problem, we can design a super-sized version using longer lumber!

This client’s outdoor space was transformed with our custom-designed 14ft by 54ft pergola, engineered to meet Florida's strict building codes and withstand hurricane-force winds. Featuring bespoke beam brackets for enhanced stability and aesthetic appeal, this pergola is securely attached to the owner’s masonry block house for maximum durability. The result is a stylish and resilient outdoor living area, providing the perfect blend of elegance and safety for enjoying Florida's unique climate.

Embarking on a custom pergola project fraught with delays and challenges, this outdoor transformation is a testament to endurance and resilience. From house completion delays to navigating a hurricane, a pandemic, HOA deliberation, and permitting issues, our team and the determined homeowner never wavered. Despite setbacks, the simple shed-roof pergola now elegantly covers the concrete patio, creating a harmonious and inviting outdoor space. This project serves as an inspiring reminder that with dedication, even the most challenging endeavors can yield remarkable results.

We were thrilled when our client approached us after completing a custom pergola project, requesting a new deck design for his backyard. Our team embarked on a journey to create a stunning outdoor space that seamlessly integrated with the existing elements. The result surpassed the client’s expectations, showcasing the transformative power of thoughtful design and skilled craftsmanship in creating an inviting oasis for relaxation and entertainment.

In Nebraska, our satisfied client from a previous project approached us for a standalone privacy arbor screen. He wanted to block his back sitting area from his neighbors' view. Our team carefully designed a customized solution that seamlessly integrated with the landscape while providing optimal privacy. The resulting privacy arbor screen combined functionality and beauty, incorporating trellises and lattice panels for climbing plants.

In the blazing heat of Colorado, our homeowners sought refuge from the scorching sun. They approached us with a simple yet urgent request: a shady pergola to beat the heat. We designed a custom pergola that sits on the existing deck posts and attaches directly to the house with a ledger board, while a privacy screen blocks the view of the A/C unit and the neighboring property. The result is a cool and private oasis that seamlessly blends with the outdoor space, providing our client with the perfect escape from the sweltering Colorado summers.

This client in Nebraska had a problem - a new house was built directly behind him, and the back of the house had huge windows overlooking his yard. Trying to maintain a bit of privacy, the client wanted a pergola in the style of La Sombra, but with some screening to block the neighbor’s view.

This client in Florida has a patio that faces a common alleyway, which is greatly lacking in privacy. He approached us about designing a pergola so that he and his family could enjoy their hot tub in privacy.

Our client in Maryland had a beautiful deck built in his back yard, and decided he wanted a nice shaded space over the sitting area. This project was a bit different than our “typical” pergola projects, in that the pergola was entirely supported by the deck structure and didn’t have its own footings.

The Arizona sun gets HOT. To help mitigate this issue, and to provide a comfortable seating area in the client’s newly built back yard, he wanted a covered space with the feel of a pergola. Due to his homeowner association requirements, the roof needed to be concrete tile to match the rest of the house (similar to the other patio cover we designed for a client in the Sacramento Valley).

The original concept was that this pergola would be both an outdoor space and a covered spot to mark a boat, so the clearance of the pergola was set at 11’-6”. A monosloped pergola with a standing seam steel roof was the first design, but this was met with disapproval from his wife (it happens!). So, a gable-roof patio cover was chosen to match the style of the house.

This was a first for us - a pergola specifically designed to support solar panels! The overall dimensions of the pergola are 12ft wide by 44ft long, for a total solar collection area of just over 500 sq. ft and 8.1 kW of power!

Our client in Colorado has a back yard in a bit of a fish bowl. To maintain some privacy, they requested a pergola with walls on two sides, and sliding doors for easy access. This pergola also has beams positioned on the top to provide for installation of sliding shades, keeping the owner out of the hot sun.

For this project, our client has some big plans for his back yard, eventually turning the patio space into a great area for entertaining. We’re talking outdoor kitchen, dining area, the works. He wanted a 16ft x 18ft pergola with a polycarbonate roof, so that the patio can still be used in less-than-ideal weather.

To stay cool in the hot Texas sun, this client wanted a roofed pergola tall enough to house a couple ceiling fans underneath. After the polycarbonate roof gets added, this should be the perfect place to relax in the summer.

After building a beautiful new garage, our client wanted to add a patio cover over the new concrete patio on the outside. Unlike a lot of our designs, this one will attach to the building structure, which is a bit more complicated than a freestanding pergola.

To provide cover for a future hot tub, the clients requested that we design a sloped roof pergola that could support a polycarbonate roof. Not a problem!
