Designed Around the Site.

A shade structure has to respond to more than style. The sun and exposure of your site, the architecture of your home, and the materials suited to your property’s fire-zone requirements all shape the right solution.

We consider how the structure connects to the house, the deck or patio below, and the rest of the outdoor space.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a patio cover or pergola cost in Los Angeles?

Cost depends on the size of the structure, materials, roof type, attachment to the home, lighting and electrical work, and site conditions. A property-specific consultation helps establish the appropriate scope and budget.

Do I need a permit for a patio cover or pergola?

Many patio covers and pergolas require permits, depending on their size, height, attachment to the house, and location on the property. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and fire zone, so the design should be evaluated before work begins.

What is the difference between a patio cover and a pergola?

A patio cover typically has a solid or louvered roof that provides full or adjustable shade, while a pergola has an open framework that filters sunlight. The right choice depends on how much shade and weather protection you want.

Can a pergola include lighting, fans, or an outdoor kitchen?

Yes. Lighting, ceiling fans, curtains, and outdoor kitchens can be planned together with the structure so the electrical work and layout are coordinated from the start.

Can a patio cover extend from the exterior wall of my home?

Yes. An attached patio cover connects to the home’s exterior wall and is secured to the house framing, while a freestanding structure stands on its own posts and footings. The right option depends on the existing structure, roofline, and site conditions, with permits and engineering as required.
