A new house and a patio with no cover
Fort Mill has grown fast. Around Baxter Village and out along the main roads, new neighborhoods have filled in, and many of their homes share one thing: a back door that opens onto a concrete patio with nothing over it. The fix most people picture is a pergola that starts at the house.
An attached pergola has one side on a ledger board. The ledger is bolted through to the frame of the house, never just to the outside skin, and flashing goes above it so rain cannot run behind the board. The outer side stands on posts. If the back wall is brick veneer or stone, we usually set posts beside the house instead.
A newer home makes this easier in one way and harder in another. The framing is regular and easy to find. But the wall often has a vent, a light, a gutter or a low window right where the ledger wants to go, so photos of the wall matter.

Town of Fort Mill or York County? Find out first
A Fort Mill address does not mean you are inside the Town of Fort Mill. Many neighborhoods with that address are in unincorporated York County, and the permit office is different for each. Find out which one your lot is in before anything else. Because an attached pergola counts as part of the house, it usually needs a permit.
Almost every newer neighborhood here has an HOA, and many must approve the size, the height, the material, the color and the place before work starts. That can take a few weeks. We give you a drawing for the form. The town, the county and your HOA have the final word, and we cannot promise what they decide.
Quotes across the state line
We quote Fort Mill the same way we quote at home. Send photos of the patio from two corners, the back wall and the door, and the rough width and depth. We send a free written quote with a drawing. Every pergola, pavilion, privacy wall and repair is quoted after we see photos. If your project needs a visit before we can price it, we'll tell you up front, before anyone drives out.
South Carolina projects over $5,000 are contracted through our licensed partner, and the written quote says when that applies. After you accept the quote, we measure on site as part of the job, and only then order materials.
