Pergolas built for Cascade-Chipita Park homes
Pergolas add structure and dappled shade to Cascade-Chipita Park outdoor spaces without closing them in. We build freestanding pergolas over patios and integrated pergolas over decks — cedar and Douglas fir for a warm timber look, powder-coated aluminum for a low-maintenance modern read that suits newer mountain cabins.
At 7,420 ft with significant sustained wind, pergola posts need real footings and lateral bracing — we build ours for Cascade-Chipita Park's conditions, not to a big-box kit spec. Optional louvered tops give you full sun-to-shade control on your short winter sun window — south and west decks get the most usable hours lot.

Pergolas in Cascade-Chipita Park, Colorado — designed and built around your home
We're the local deck builders Colorado Springs team Cascade-Chipita Park calls when the build has to look right, hold up, and get finished on schedule. In-house crew, no subcontracted framing.
The local site drives every design decision — the short winter sun window — south and west decks get the most usable hours, rocky, decomposed-granite soils on steep grades, and how the pergolas has to tie into mountain cabins. Get those wrong up front and no amount of pretty decking fixes it later.
Whether it's a compact backyard pergolas or a multi-level walk-out build, you get the same on-site attention, the same written warranty, and the same crew from kickoff to walkthrough.
We'd rather lose a bid on a vague handshake than win one. Ask for the paperwork — we already have it ready.
