Creating the Right Structure for Your Space
Outdoor living structures serve different purposes depending on the level of coverage, shade, and enclosure you’re looking for.
We help guide those decisions by understanding:
- How you plan to use the space
- Desired shade, airflow, and weather protection
- Your home’s layout and architectural style
- Maintenance preferences and material options
- Long-term goals for comfort and usability
The result is a structure that feels intentional, not added on.
Pergolas
Defined Shade with an Open, Airy Feel
Pergolas add architectural interest while providing filtered shade and visual definition. They’re ideal for homeowners who want to create a comfortable outdoor area without fully enclosing it.
Pergola options may include:
- Traditional open-beam designs for partial shade
- Clean-lined, modern styles for a more contemporary look
- Fixed or adjustable shade systems
- Integration with decks, patios, or outdoor seating areas
Pergolas enhance airflow, soften sunlight, and create a natural focal point for outdoor living.
Shade Solutions & Awnings
In some spaces, flexible shade solutions are the best fit. Retractable awnings and other shade structures provide on-demand coverage while maintaining versatility.
These systems can:
- Provide instant shade when needed
- Reduce heat and UV exposure
- Retract to preserve open sky views
- Be custom-fitted to your space and style
They’re an effective way to add comfort without a permanent enclosure.
Louvered Roof Pergolas
Precision Shade and On-Demand Weather Control
Louvered roof pergolas combine the clean look of a pergola with the ability to control sun, shade, and airflow. Adjustable louvers open to let light and breeze in, or close to provide protection from rain and direct sun—giving you flexibility throughout the day.
These systems are ideal for homeowners who want adaptable comfort, a modern aesthetic, and low-maintenance materials designed for long-term performance.
Louvered pergolas can include:
-
Motorized or manual louver controls
-
Integrated drainage systems
-
Built-in lighting and comfort features
-
Seamless integration with decks, patios, and outdoor kitchens
Perfect for entertaining and everyday living, louvered roof pergolas create an outdoor space that adjusts to your needs and enhances how you enjoy your home.
Pavilions & Gazebos
When full overhead protection is the goal, pavilions and gazebos provide reliable shelter while maintaining an open feel.
Pavilions
Pavilions feature solid roofing with open sides, making them ideal for:
- Outdoor dining areas
- Poolside lounging
- Outdoor kitchens and entertaining spaces
They offer dependable shade and rain protection while keeping the space open and inviting.
Gazebos
Gazebos create a more enclosed, intimate setting within the landscape. Their distinctive rooflines and customizable features make them a natural retreat for relaxing or gathering.
Both options can be customized with lighting, electrical planning, and architectural details to suit your space.
Built to Last

Covered Porches & Enclosed Outdoor Rooms
Comfort Across the Seasons
For homeowners looking to extend their living space, covered and enclosed structures provide additional flexibility and comfort.
Covered & Screened-In Porches
Covered porches protect from sun and rain, while screens allow fresh air to flow through and keep insects out — perfect for everyday relaxation and dining.
Three-Season Rooms
Designed for spring, summer, and fall use, three-season rooms offer protection from wind and rain while maintaining an outdoor feel.
Four-Season Rooms
Fully insulated and designed for year-round use, four-season rooms provide the comfort of indoor living with the openness of outdoor views.
