Pergolas built for Monument homes
Pergolas add structure and dappled shade to Monument 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 custom two-stories.
At 6,960 ft with moderate but real wind loads, pergola posts need real footings and lateral bracing — we build ours for Monument's conditions, not to a big-box kit spec. Optional louvered tops give you full sun-to-shade control on your many walk-out lots face west with Pikes Peak sunsets lot.

Built for Monument
Local conditions, real construction details
Monument throws its own weather at an outdoor build — palmer divide climate — snow arrives earlier and stays longer than in town, plus the UV load at 6,960 ft. Our pergolas substructures, flashings, and finishes are all specified for those conditions, not a generic Colorado spec.
Neighborhoods like Jackson Creek and Bent Tree each come with their own quirks — grade, tree cover, HOA character. We ask the questions that matter up front so the design fits the block, not just the lot.
Built for 6,960 ft
High-altitude UV fades untreated wood fast. We finish every Monument pergolas with sealers and stains rated for altitude sun.

Moderate but real wind loads — post spacing, hardware, and railing profiles are all specified around your specific lot.
Frost-depth footings
Piers poured below the local frost line so nothing heaves in spring thaw. Non-negotiable on sandy clay with expansive pockets.
Hail-tolerant detailing
Composite tops, aluminum louvers, and steel-frame options that survive Colorado's hail season without cosmetic damage.
Tuned to your many walk-out lots face west with Pikes Peak sunsets
Deck layout, shade structures, and finish colors are picked around how sun tracks across your specific Monument lot.

A well-placed pergola frames the view rather than blocking it. We orient the beams and rafters to keep sightlines open from your main seating area.
