Pergolas & shade
for real Arizona summers.
Custom pergolas, ramadas, and louvered shade structures engineered for Arizona heat, monsoon wind, and the kind of long-term beauty that doesn't fade, splinter, or rot.
Built to last.
Built right.
Most pergola and ramada projects fall between $15,000 and $45,000+ depending on size, material, footing engineering, and integrated features (lighting, fans, misting, heaters).
- Powder-coated aluminum and Alumawood — no rust, no rot, no repainting.
- Real cedar and timber-frame builds for traditional architecture.
- Louvered roof systems — open for breeze, close for rain.
- Integrated lighting, ceiling fans, gas heaters, and misting systems.
- Engineered footings and structural calcs for monsoon wind loads.
- 3-year workmanship warranty plus full manufacturer warranties.
What to expect.
After the in-home consultation we 3D-render the pergola or ramada in your actual yard, then engineer footings and submit for permit. Most stand-alone pergolas finish in 3–5 weeks. Built into a larger backyard project, they finish on the same timeline as the larger build.
Pergolas & Shade Structures FAQ.
Should I build in aluminum, cedar, or louvered?+
Aluminum and Alumawood are zero-maintenance and last forever. Cedar reads more traditional and ages beautifully but needs sealing every 2–3 years. Louvered systems give you on-demand shade or sky and integrate the best with lighting and fans.
Will it survive monsoon wind?+
Yes — every structure we build has engineered footings and structural calcs designed for Arizona monsoon wind loads, and is permitted and inspected accordingly.
Can you integrate lighting, fans, and heaters?+
Yes — we run gas, electric, and audio during the build so everything is hidden and clean. Final wiring and gas terminations are done by licensed trades.
