Pergola Construction in Charlotte, NC
A pergola turns an open deck or patio into a defined outdoor room — filtered shade in the Carolina summer without closing off the sky. We build them freestanding or attached, in wood sized to last.

Common questions
How much shade does a pergola actually give?
A standard open-rafter pergola cuts direct sun by roughly a third to a half, depending on rafter spacing and orientation. Adding a lattice top or angling the rafters increases coverage. If you want full shade and rain protection, look at our patio covers instead — we'll help you compare.
Can you build a pergola over my existing patio?
Yes. We set posts alongside or through the existing slab with proper footings. A site visit tells us what the slab allows — the assessment is part of the free estimate.
Wood or metal pergola — what do you recommend?
We build in wood: it suits Charlotte-area homes, handles our climate well when properly treated, and is easy to customize and repair. A stained cedar or painted pine pergola also adds more warmth than an aluminum kit.
