Pergolas

A pergola is more than just a structure; it's a way to enhance your outdoor living experience. In Everett, WA, our team specializes in designing and building custom pergolas that not only beautify your yard but also provide functionality and charm. Understanding the role a pergola plays in your outdoor space is vital for both enjoyment and aesthetics, and we are here to guide you through every step of the process.


When considering a pergola, many customers express concerns about design, materials, and how it will fit into their existing landscape. Our approach starts with a detailed consultation, where we discuss your vision, preferences, and any concerns you may have. Our designers are well-versed in various styles, from classic wooden pergolas to modern aluminum structures, and can help you choose what aligns best with your home’s architecture and your personal taste.


One common concern is ensuring that the pergola provides adequate shade without completely blocking out sunlight. Many homeowners love the idea of enjoying their outdoor space while being shielded from the harsh sun, but don't want to feel closed off. We provide thoughtful design options, such as slatted roofs or adjustable louvers, allowing you to control how much light filters through. Our team will present various design samples and past projects, showcasing how we’ve balanced openness with coverage in other installations.


Once we have a design plan, we move to the next phase: selecting materials. The choice of materials can greatly affect the durability and look of your pergola. Some popular options include:

  • Wood: Classic and versatile, wood can be stained or painted for the desired aesthetic.
  • Aluminum: Lightweight and low-maintenance, aluminum is resistant to weather damage and available in a variety of finishes.
  • Vinyl: A synthetic option that mimics wood without the upkeep, vinyl is robust and comes in several colors.

Understanding your concerns about maintenance and longevity, we discuss the pros and cons of each material in detail, ensuring you make an informed choice that fits your lifestyle.


The construction phase is where your vision begins to take shape. Our experienced team is committed to following best practices in construction, ensuring that your pergola is built to withstand the unique weather conditions of the Pacific Northwest. We take into account factors such as wind resistance and moisture management during the construction process to ensure the longevity of your pergola.


During the build, we maintain clear communication, providing updates and inviting your input at various stages. We want you to feel involved and excited as your new pergola comes to life. We understand that seeing the structure take shape can raise new questions or concerns, and we are always available to address them promptly. This level of engagement is part of our commitment to you—making sure that you are involved in the process and satisfied with the outcome.


Once your pergola is constructed, the next concern often revolves around how to incorporate it into your outdoor living space. We offer valuable insights on ways to enhance your pergola with features like:

  • Lighting: String lights or built-in LED options can create a cozy atmosphere for evening gatherings.

  • Furniture Layout: We can suggest furniture arrangements that promote flow and utility in the space.

These added touches can elevate your outdoor experience, making your pergola an integral part of your home’s design.
