Pergola services around Charlotte
Six things we build and fix: wood pergolas, aluminum pergolas, attached pergolas, pavilions, privacy walls, and repair of pergolas that already stand. Every pergola, pavilion, privacy wall and repair is quoted after we see photos. The written quote is free, and it starts with your photos and two rough sizes.
Three ways to build a pergola
Wood or aluminum is the material. Freestanding or attached is how it stands. Start with the one that sounds like your patio.
Wood Pergolas
Pressure-treated pine or cedar, cut and built on your patio or in your yard. Six by six posts, doubled beams, notched rafters and shaped rafter tails, sized to your space.
Quoted after we see photos
Aluminum Pergolas
A powder-coated aluminum frame that never rots and never needs stain. Clean straight lines in black, white or bronze, anchored to your slab or to new footings.
Quoted after we see photos
Attached Pergolas
A pergola that starts at the house and covers the patio by the back door. One side on a ledger board bolted to the house frame, the other on posts.
Quoted after we see photos
A roof, a wall, or a fix
A pavilion when you need a real roof. A privacy wall when one side is too open. A repair when the pergola you have needs a new post, beam or brace.
Pavilions
A real roof on posts: full shade and a dry place to sit when it rains. Gable or single slope, shingle or metal, built on footings.
Quoted after we see photos
Privacy Walls
Horizontal slat walls and screens that block the view from next door and still let the air through. On one side of a pergola or standing on their own.
Quoted after we see photos
Pergola Repair
A rotten post base, a sagging beam, split rafters, loose hardware or a frame that leans. We replace the bad parts and keep the good ones.

If two lines fit, tell us both when you send your photos.
Our guide pergola vs pavilion vs gazebo explains the names.
| If you want | Look at |
|---|---|
| Partial shade, an open sky and real wood you can stain | Wood pergola |
| The same open frame with no stain and no rot | Aluminum pergola |
| Shade that starts at the back door | Attached pergola |
| Full shade, and a dry seat when it rains | Pavilion |
| The view from next door blocked on one side | Privacy wall |
| A pergola you already have, with a soft post or a lean | Pergola repair |
What we do not do
We build shade and a place to sit outside. An open pergola gives partial shade, not full shade. And these jobs belong to someone else.
- Electrical work
- Lights, fans and outlets need a licensed electrician, and often their own permit. Plug-in string lights need no wiring.
- Concrete and pavers
- We dig and pour the footings under our posts. Patio slabs and paver patios are for a concrete or paver company.
- Outdoor kitchens and fire
- Outdoor kitchens and gas or fire features are not our trade.
- Porches and house roofs
- We do not build screened porches or sunrooms, and we do not do roofing on a house.
Carolina Deck Repair is our sister company. The name says what they do: new builds, repairs and staining.
To close in a whole yard, or to hang a gate, ask our sister company Carolina Fence Works.
How every quote works
You send photos of the patio or the yard and its rough width and depth. We send a free written quote. Most projects are priced from the photos alone. If your project needs a visit before we can price it, we'll tell you up front, before anyone drives out.
Short on time? Start your estimate in 3 taps. Or upload your photos now.
After you say yes, we confirm the exact sizes on site as part of the job, before anything is ordered. The build date goes in the written quote.
If your project needs a building or zoning permit, the written quote says so, and who files it is agreed in writing before any work starts. Our workmanship warranty terms are being finalized. The written quote states the warranty that applies to that job.
North Carolina projects of $40,000 or more are contracted through our licensed general contractor partner. South Carolina projects over $5,000 go through our licensed partner too.
