Designed Around Your Home and How You Use the Space
A pergola should feel intentional, not like an afterthought. We design each structure around your patio layout, roofline, shade goals, outdoor kitchen plans, and the way your family actually uses the backyard.
- Attached pergolas connected to the home or patio area
- Freestanding pergolas for defined backyard living spaces
- Two-tiered and architectural pergola designs
- Cedar framing and oversized lumber options
- SkyLift roof risers available for certain attached pergolas
- Covered pergola options with polycarbonate roof panels
Custom Pergola Options
Every pergola is built around the look, coverage, and function you want from the finished outdoor space.
Freestanding Pergolas
Freestanding pergolas create a dedicated backyard destination for seating, dining, fire features, or outdoor kitchens.
Covered Pergolas
Polycarbonate roof panels can be added when you want filtered light, weather protection, and more usable shade.
Cedar, Shade, and Finish Details That Match the Space
Most pergolas are visual focal points. We pay attention to lumber proportions, post layout, connection details, stain or paint finish, and how the structure relates to the surrounding patio or outdoor kitchen.
- Cedar post, beam, and rafter options
- Oversized cedar lumber available for a heavier custom look
- Painted or stained finish options
- Open-top, partially covered, or fully covered configurations
- Designed around outdoor kitchens, patios, pavers, and seating areas
- Optional electrical planning for fans, lights, or outlets when applicable
Popular Pergola Styles
We build pergolas in a range of styles depending on the home, desired shade level, and outdoor living layout.
Traditional Cedar Pergolas
A classic open-air shade structure with exposed cedar framing and clean architectural lines.
SkyLift Pergolas

Custom Pergola FAQs
Common questions homeowners ask when planning a pergola project in North Texas.
Can a pergola be attached to my house?
Yes. Many pergolas can be attached to the home or built adjacent to an existing patio, depending on the roofline, structure, and attachment details.
Can you add a roof to a pergola?
Yes. Polycarbonate roof panels are a common option when homeowners want filtered light and more weather protection while keeping the pergola look.
Do pergolas provide full shade?
Open pergolas provide partial shade. If you want more coverage, we can discuss tighter rafter spacing, shade additions, or covered pergola options.
What materials do you use?
Most of our pergolas use cedar framing, with options for larger lumber, stained finishes, painted finishes, and covered roof panels depending on the design.
Can you add lights or fans?
In many cases, yes. We can plan for lighting, fans, outlets, or other electrical features when the design and structure allow for it.
What is the difference between a pergola and a patio cover?
A pergola is usually an open or partially covered shade structure, while a patio cover typically has a full roof system with shingles or metal roofing.
