FAQ
What is the difference between a pergola and a covered structure?
A pergola provides filtered shade with open rafters. A covered structure has a roof for full protection from sun and rain.
Can you attach a cover to my house?
Often yes. We review ledger locations, roof tie-ins, and code requirements. Freestanding pavilions are a strong option when attachment is not ideal.
Do you handle permits and HOA approvals?
Yes. We prepare typical drawings and submit paperwork as required.
Can you match my roof and trim details?
We work to match roof pitch, shingles, soffit, fascia, and trim profiles where feasible.
Will a pergola give enough shade on its own?
We can tune shade with rafter spacing and orientation. For full coverage, choose a covered structure.
