Frequently Asked Questions About Pergolas

How long does it take to build a pergola?

Most standard pergolas are installed within 3 to 5 days, depending on the size, material, and any add-ons like lighting, fans, or a louvered roof system. Larger or attached pergolas may take up to a week.

In many East Tennessee jurisdictions, pergolas over 200 square feet or attached to the house may require a building permit. Requirements vary by area, so check with your local building department or ask us during the estimate. We handle the paperwork for you.

Yes. Choose from open-beam, semi-open, or fully shaded designs, plus color and material options to match your home. We build in cedar, pressure-treated wood, aluminum, and vinyl, and we can integrate lighting, fans, and privacy screens into the design.

Cost depends on the size, material, and features. A basic freestanding pergola costs less than a large attached structure with a louvered roof and lighting. We walk your property and give you a free, no-obligation estimate based on the actual build.

We build with premium cedar, pressure-treated wood, and aluminum. Each material is selected for durability in East Tennessee’s freeze-thaw winters and humid summers. We match the material and finish to the style of your home.

Yes. We install pergolas on existing patios using surface-mount brackets or by core-drilling through the surface into the ground below. If the patio needs reinforcement, we handle that as part of the project.
