We offer bespoke services to suit your property, preferences, and budget, delivering results that improve your lifestyle and elevate your outdoor space. Learn more about what we offer below.

New Pergola Construction

A well designed pergola can transform a basic backyard into a relaxing retreat or entertainment area. We offer full pergola construction services, handling everything from design and planning to installation and finishing. Whether you want a freestanding structure in the garden, a pergola attached to your deck, or something more complex, we’ll work with your space and style preferences to build something that complements your property. We use weather-resistant materials and take Gainesville’s climate into account, making sure your new pergola not only looks beautiful but stands strong through every season, year after year.

Pergola Repair and Reinforcement

Existing pergolas can wear down over time due to sun exposure, moisture, and shifting ground. Common issues include cracked or sagging beams, rusted hardware, and loose anchoring. Our pergola repair services address structural weaknesses and cosmetic damage alike, ensuring your pergola remains both safe and attractive. We can replace damaged rafters, re-secure posts, and restore finishing touches with quality paints or stain finishes. If your pergola is integrated with a deck or near a porch, we’ll also check the surrounding structures for stability. Prompt repair work keeps your outdoor space usable and helps prevent more serious problems from developing. That’s the kind of comprehensive service you can expect from us!

Pergola Restoration and Refinishing

Even if your pergola is structurally sound, it may be due for a visual refresh. Our restoration services focus on reviving aged or weathered pergolas without a full rebuild. This often includes pressure washing, sanding, sealing, and staining to restore the material’s natural beauty and protect against further damage. We also offer painting options for those looking to match an existing home color scheme. Restoring your pergola is a more cost-effective way to enhance your outdoor space without the need for total replacement. Best of all, it gives your structure renewed protection from Florida’s intense sun and humidity.

Better Outdoor Spaces

Adding a pergola to your backyard comes with a range of benefits. It provides partial shade and a defined space for outdoor dining, lounging, or entertaining. Pergolas also create natural airflow, helping to cool your space without blocking light entirely – and delivering a nice balance. When placed near a wood deck or patio, they add architectural interest and value to your home. Need more persuading? Beyond function, pergolas can support hanging plants, string lights, or outdoor curtains, giving you the freedom to add character and further personalize the space. All in all, a pergola enhances both the look and utility of your outdoor living area.
