A gazebo provides the perfect setting for outdoor gatherings or a peaceful retreat in your backyard. These freestanding structures are versatile and can be used for anything from hosting family barbecues to enjoying a quiet moment in the garden.

Screened Porches: Enjoy the Outdoors Year-Round
Screened porches are ideal for enjoying the outdoors without worrying about insects or unpredictable weather.

Pergolas: Stylish Shade and Function
A pergola is a great way to add shade and style to your outdoor space without sacrificing an open, airy feel. Perfect for patios, garden areas, or poolside spaces, pergolas create a defined outdoor space that enhances the beauty of your backyard.
- Custom Designs: Whether you want a wood-frame pergola or one made from aluminum/steel for durability, we build each one to match your aesthetic and functional needs.

Louvered Pergolas: Control Light and Shade
A louvered pergola is an excellent option for those who want shade and can let in sunlight when desired. The adjustable louvers give you complete control over how much light enters the space.
- Motorized Louvers: Adjust the louvers easily with a motorized system to allow more light during the day or close them for shade when needed.
- Material Options: Choose from wood-framed or aluminum/steel structures, which are low-maintenance and offer long-lasting durability.
- Added Comfort: Integrate lighting, ceiling fans, or heating systems to make your louvered pergola comfortable no matter the time of year.
