Pergolas & Gazebos

Custom Pergolas & Gazebos for the Gulf Coast

Shade changes how often you use the backyard. We build pergolas and gazebos with proportions, placement and materials selected for your home and the realities of coastal Texas.

Designed around the site

Function first. Good lines follow.

A shade structure affects light inside the house, furniture layout, views and circulation. We plan those relationships first, then define whether an attached or freestanding structure makes the most sense.

Every proposal should make the important choices visible: footprint, height, materials, stairs, railings, demolition, access, finish and responsibilities. If a condition cannot be verified before work begins, it belongs in the assumptions—not under the rug wearing a fake mustache.

How it comes together

A process you can follow.

01

Study sun, views and the best gathering zone

02

Choose attached or freestanding construction

03

Coordinate posts, deck edges and circulation

04

Define finish, maintenance and future options

Questions worth asking

Before the project starts.

Can a pergola go over an existing patio?+

Possibly. The patio, foundations, drainage and attachment conditions must be evaluated first.

Will a pergola keep rain out?+

A traditional open pergola provides filtered shade, not a waterproof roof. We can discuss shade systems or a covered patio if rain protection is the priority.

Can you add a pergola to an existing deck?+

Sometimes. The existing framing and foundations must be checked because the shade structure adds loads that should never be assumed.

Deck hard. Live easy.
