Aluminum Pergola Styles
Unlike a patio cover, an aluminum pergola is not supposed to look like it was built with your home. It is supposed to compliment your backyard while still providing shade for your patio. There are virtually no limits to the size or shape that can be built. When designing your project we can get as creative as you wish.

What Our Clients Say
“I love it. It makes the patio seem larger somehow. I got a great fan that I like with a remote so nothing is hanging for a storm to blow around. I never thought of checking the GFI in the garage but it worked. Everything is wonderful. Now just need to power wash the patio itself.” – L. Purvis – Cypress, TX
“The aluminum pergola is awesome! Your team did a great job. Service was top notch. Thank you very much. That was a very pleasant buying experience.” – L. Ross – Richmond, TX
“The Pergola looks awesome. The patio is finally dry during rain. We just got back from spring break vacation and have not been able to purchase an outdoor fan yet. Once we do so, we’ll call you to coordinate installation and final wiring.” – P. Alberto – Sugar Land, TX
