Pergolas Built To Span A Real Texas Backyard.
A pergola is a structure — wind load, beam span, post footing all matter. We design and build pergolas in DFW engineered for the climate, not catalog-grade kits that sag in five years.

Custom Pergolas FAQs
Do I need an HOA approval?+
Almost always, yes — in The Colony, Frisco, Plano, Prosper, and most master-planned communities. We prepare drawings and specs and submit on your behalf when you want us to.
Do I need a permit?+
Permanent covered structures and electrical work usually require permits in DFW municipalities. We pull permits where required and build to inspection.
How long does a pergola take to build?+
Most pergolas are 1–2 weeks from start to walk-off after materials arrive.
Can you attach a pergola to my house?+
Yes — and as roofers, we flash it into your existing roof system properly so it doesn't become a leak source.
Cedar or steel?+
Cedar gives warmth and a traditional look; steel gives clean modern lines and the longest spans. Both perform well in Texas with proper finish and design.
