Questions we hear

Real questions, real answers.

How much does a pergola cost in Sacramento?+

Custom wood pergolas typically run $5,000 to $15,000. Larger structures or motorized louvered systems run $15,000 to $30,000+.

Do I need a permit?+

Most attached pergolas and any structure over 120 sq ft require a permit. Free-standing under 120 sq ft often does not. We confirm with your city and handle permitting.

Wood or aluminum?+

Wood (redwood, IPE, cedar) looks warmer and more custom but requires re-staining every 3-5 years. Aluminum is lower maintenance and supports motorized louvered roofs but is more expensive upfront.
