Pergolas, Patio Covers & Outdoor Structures

Transform Your Outdoor Space With Shade

A beautiful deck in Eastvale becomes even more enjoyable when you add shade. Southern California summers can be brutal on open decks. The sun beats down, making your deck too hot to use during the best part of the day. A pergola or patio cover changes everything by creating comfortable outdoor space you can enjoy all year long.

Shade structures do more than just block sun. They define your outdoor living areas, creating rooms outside your house. A pergola over your dining table makes it feel like an outdoor dining room. A patio cover turns your deck into a true outdoor living space where you can relax regardless of weather. These structures add architectural interest and dramatically increase your home's curb appeal and value.

The right shade structure can reduce your air conditioning costs by keeping sun off windows and doors. It protects outdoor furniture from fading and weather damage. And it gives you usable outdoor space on hot summer days and during light rain. You've invested in a nice deck. A pergola or patio cover helps you actually use and enjoy that investment.

Types of Outdoor Structures We Build

Different structures serve different purposes. Here's what we can build for your outdoor space:

• •Traditional Pergolas: Open roof with spaced beams that provide partial shade and filtered light. Perfect for creating defined spaces while maintaining an open feel
• •Solid Patio Covers: Complete roof coverage that blocks all sun and rain. Turn your deck into a true outdoor room that's usable in any weather
• •Louvered Roofs: Adjustable slats that let you control how much sun and ventilation you want. Close them for full shade or open for sun and views
• •Lattice Covers: Provide more shade than open pergolas while still allowing airflow. Great for supporting climbing plants for natural shade
• •Gazebos: Freestanding structures with solid roofs, perfect for creating a dedicated relaxation spot away from the house
• •Privacy Screens: Vertical structures that block views from neighbors while adding style. Can be solid, lattice, or decorative panels

Each structure type works better for specific situations. We'll discuss how you use your outdoor space, what you want to achieve, and recommend options that fit your needs and budget. Many homeowners combine structures, like a solid cover over the dining area with an open pergola over the lounge seating.

Custom Design for Your Space

Every yard is different, and every family uses their outdoor space differently. That's why we custom design each structure to work perfectly for your specific situation.

Understanding Your Needs

We start by learning how you use your outdoor space. Do you entertain large groups or prefer quiet family dinners? Do you need protection from afternoon sun or morning glare? What's your view situation with neighbors? Your answers guide the design toward something that truly enhances your lifestyle.

Site Analysis

We examine your property to understand sun angles, wind patterns, and how the structure will relate to your home's architecture. We measure everything carefully and check for any obstacles like utility lines or roof overhangs. This analysis ensures your new structure will look and perform exactly as you envision.

Material Selection

Wood pergolas offer traditional beauty and can be painted or stained to match your home. Vinyl pergolas require zero maintenance and come in white or tan. Aluminum structures provide clean modern lines and exceptional durability. We'll show you samples and discuss the pros and cons of each material so you can make an informed choice.

Permit and Engineering

Most shade structures require building permits in Eastvale. We handle all the paperwork and engineering for you. Larger structures or those attached to your house need engineered plans to ensure they're structurally sound and won't damage your home. We take care of inspections and make sure everything meets code.

Professional Installation

Building shade structures requires carpentry skills and engineering knowledge. These aren't lightweight decorations. They need to withstand wind loads and, for covered structures, support snow and rain. We've built hundreds of pergolas and patio covers throughout Eastvale, so we know exactly how to construct them for lasting performance.

Everything starts with a solid foundation. Posts are set in concrete footings that extend deep enough to provide stability. For structures attached to your house, we use proper ledger board connections with waterproof flashing to prevent water damage. All lumber is properly sized for the spans and loads involved. We don't cut corners because your safety and the structure's longevity depend on doing everything right.

We can integrate your new shade structure with your existing deck, or build standalone structures anywhere in your yard. Want to add lighting, ceiling fans, or speakers? We can handle the electrical work as part of the project. Looking to include built-in seating or planters? We'll incorporate those features into the design. The goal is creating an outdoor space that works perfectly for how you live.
