Freestanding or attached — which pergola is better?

Both work well; the right choice depends on your yard. Attached pergolas extend an existing deck or patio and feel like part of the house. Freestanding pergolas define a garden or seating area away from the home. We help you decide during design.

How do I get a quote for a custom pergola?

Book a free on-site consultation. We size the structure, review materials (cedar, redwood, engineered wood, or metal) and top style (open, slatted, or louvered), then send a detailed written quote.

Will a pergola provide real shade?

Open-top pergolas give partial, filtered shade. Slatted or louvered tops (adjustable or fixed) provide much more usable shade — a common upgrade on west- and south-facing patios in Colorado Springs.

Can a pergola be built on top of an existing deck?

Usually yes, if the deck substructure is sized for the added load. We inspect the frame during the consultation and engineer the pergola posts and footings to work with the existing structure.

Do pergolas need a permit in Colorado Springs?

Attached and larger freestanding pergolas typically require a permit in Colorado Springs. We manage the permit process and any HOA approvals.
