Built to Match
Your Home and Your Deck

A pergola adds shade, structure, and a defined outdoor room to your deck. Done right, it looks like part of the house — same pitch, same trim profile, same character. Done wrong, it looks like something assembled from a kit and bolted on as an afterthought.

We build pergolas to match your house and your deck. That means proper post sizing for the span, appropriate beam profiles, and finish details that tie the structure to the existing architecture. Whether you want an open lattice top for filtered shade or a solid roof for full coverage, we engineer it to carry the load and look right doing it.

When customers ask us about pergola sizing, we always ask about their shade goals first. A standard open-lattice pergola at noon in July gives you maybe 30% shade. If shade is the primary goal, we talk about adjustable louvers, solid roofing, or a polycarbonate panel roof — same structure, very different result.

Pergola Framing —
What Holds It Up

A pergola is only as good as its post footings. Freestanding pergolas need independent footings — not just surface-mounted post bases. We drill piers at each post location and pour concrete, just as we do for decks.

Attached pergolas that connect to the house ledger need proper through-bolts into the house framing — not lag screws into siding. The attachment point needs to carry both vertical and lateral loads, and it needs to be flashed to prevent water infiltration. We do this correctly every time.

We see pergolas that are attached to the fascia board instead of the house framing. Fascia isn't structural — it's a finish piece. An attached pergola bolted to fascia is a safety issue waiting to become an incident.

A basic attached pergola over a deck typically runs $6,000–$18,000 depending on size, material, and roof style. Freestanding pergolas and more elaborate covered structures run $10,000–$30,000+. Free written estimates — call (740) 527-0222.
In most cases, yes — particularly for attached structures and any pergola with a solid roof. Requirements vary by township. We handle permit applications on all our projects.
A pergola has an open or latticed roof — it filters light rather than blocking it. A covered patio or pavilion has a solid roof for full weather protection. We build both, and we'll help you figure out which suits your shade goals and budget.
Yes, in most cases. We assess the existing deck structure to verify it can carry the additional load — particularly the post footings. Sometimes we need to add independent footings for the pergola posts rather than relying on the existing deck framing.
