Do I need a permit for a pergola or covered patio?
In most of Broward County, yes — any structure attached to your home or exceeding a certain footprint requires a permit. We handle the permitting and engineering as part of every pergola build.
What's the difference between a pergola and a covered patio?
A pergola is an open-slat structure that provides partial shade, while covered patios use solid or louvered roofing for full weather protection. We build both, often combined with a deck or pool area.
What materials do you use for pergolas?
We build with Ipe hardwood, low-maintenance aluminum, and composite materials, chosen based on your budget, maintenance preference, and whether it's freestanding or attached to the home.
Can a pergola handle Florida's wind and rain?
Yes — every pergola and covered patio structure we build is engineered to current Broward County wind-load code, with hardware rated for hurricane-force winds.
Do you offer louvered or adjustable roof systems?
Yes — we install adjustable louvered roof pergola systems that let you control sun and rain exposure, in addition to fixed-roof covered patio structures.
How long does a pergola project take?
Most pergola and covered patio projects take 2–4 weeks from permit approval to completion, depending on size and roofing system.
