Add Shade, Shape, and Visual Impact Outdoors

Pergolas, Gazebos & Arbors in North Carolina

More Than Just a Pretty Structure

Purpose-Driven Shade and Design Features

Pergolas and gazebos aren’t just visual upgrades—they create usable, protected space. Pergolas offer partial sun cover and frame lounge or dining zones. Gazebos provide full-roof shelter for year-round enjoyment. Arbors define walkways, garden entries, or transitions between spaces. All our structures are built with rot-resistant materials, anchored for wind, and matched to your home or deck style.

Custom-Built to Fit Your Space & Style

Freestanding or Attached—We Build Both

Whether you want a pergola over your patio or a gazebo in the yard, we design to fit. We anchor freestanding structures with concrete footings and connect attached builds securely to your home or deck. We tailor every element—rafter spacing, post size, roof pitch, and trim—to match your layout and goals. No kits. Just custom craftsmanship.

  • Anchored posts for wind resistance and code compliance

  • Pressure-treated, cedar, or composite framing available

  • Optional screens, curtains, and shade canopies

Built to Last in North Carolina’s Weather

Materials That Withstand Heat, Rain & Sun

We build with durability in mind—using pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or vinyl-wrapped framing based on your style and budget. Every structure is sealed, braced, and fastened with hardware designed for outdoor exposure. Whether facing summer sun in Raleigh or heavy rains in Wilmington, our pergolas, gazebos, and arbors stand strong year after year.

Design Elements That Elevate Every Yard

Form and Function in One Outdoor Feature

Add elegance, structure, and flow to your outdoor space. Pergolas guide the eye and offer partial shade. Gazebos invite conversation with a defined center. Arbors welcome guests with charm. We’ll help you choose proportions, post placement, and architectural details that work with your home and garden. It’s more than an upgrade—it’s a transformation.

What to Expect From Your Outdoor Structure Build

We start with a design consult to understand your space, sun patterns, and style preferences. From there, we create a layout with dimensions, post placement, materials, and roofing options. Once approved, we schedule your build—typically completed within 2–5 days depending on size. Our crews work cleanly, safely, and always to code.

  • Footing and framing layout approved before we build

  • Post-trim, top style, and material options reviewed

  • HOA and zoning documentation available upon request

Every post is anchored, every design is scaled, and every material is chosen to suit your environment. We build structures that truly belong.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pergolas, Gazebos & Arbors FAQs

We understand lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

Can you attach a pergola to my house or deck?

Yes. We inspect connection points and flash properly to attach pergolas securely to your structure.

Do I need a permit for a gazebo or pergola?

Freestanding structures sometimes don’t, but attached builds often do. We handle all permitting if required.

What materials do you recommend for NC weather?

Cedar, pressure-treated lumber, or vinyl-wrapped composite are all great options depending on location and exposure.

Can I add lighting, curtains, or a canopy later?

Yes. We can build with future upgrades in mind—or install them during the initial build.
