The Art of Custom Shade: Your Pergola Vision

A modern, black metal louvered pergola covering a patio or small deck attached to a light-colored, single-story house. The house features several windows and a central sliding glass door. The foreground is filled with various green bushes and landscaping, and tall ornamental grasses are visible near the right pillar of the pergola.

A pergola is a defining element of your outdoor space, turning an open patio or deck into a destination.

  • Architectural Definition: We use custom beams and posts to provide geometric harmony, defining your space without boxing it in.
  • Crafted Sanctuary: Experience comfortable, filtered shade throughout the Michigan summer, making your patio usable during peak daylight hours.
  • Investment in Style: A custom-engineered structure is a lasting addition that increases your curb appeal and property value for years to come.

Pergola Installation FAQs

We usually recommend a rectangular, attached style that is large enough to cover the entire cooking and prep area, typically spanning $10′ \times 16’$ or more. We’ll design the posts to avoid interfering with your grill station or access points, ensuring a perfect workflow.
For a beautiful, long-lasting structure, we suggest applying a high-quality UV-rated stain or sealer every 2 to 3 years. This protects the wood from Michigan’s harsh sun exposure and winter moisture, keeping it looking great for decades.
Absolutely. We often run low-voltage wiring discreetly inside the beams and columns to install elegant LED strip lighting or recessed puck lights. This provides warm, ambient lighting for evening use without any messy, visible wires.
We use Simpson Strong-Tie brackets and heavy-duty structural screws for all connections. For patio installations, we use concrete footings or secure anchors embedded in the pad, and we typically utilize durable 6×6 posts for maximum structural stability against the elements.
