See the shade fall on your patio before we build.
A pergola can transform a sun-baked patio or sit awkward and undersized. The render shows the actual shadow line, scale, and finish in your yard — so the structure lands right the first time.

What's the difference between a pergola and a ramada?+
A pergola has an open or slatted top — partial shade. A ramada has a solid roof (often tile or metal) for full sun and rain protection. We build both.
Do louvered pergolas work in Phoenix?+
Yes — motorized louvered roofs are excellent here. They open for spring/fall and close for summer sun or monsoon rain. We install premium powder-coated aluminum systems with rain sensors.
Do I need a permit for a pergola?+
In most Valley cities, freestanding structures over a certain size and attached structures require permits. We pull them as part of the build.
Can pergolas have fans, lights, and heaters?+
Yes — we run electrical for ceiling fans, LED downlights, infrared heaters, and outlets. All to code.
What materials hold up in the AZ sun?+
Powder-coated aluminum and steel last longest. Cedar looks beautiful but needs re-staining every 2–3 years. Tile-roof ramadas with steel framing are essentially maintenance-free.

Submit your request through Jobber and our team will review your project details.
Projects are designed and installed to meet applicable Arizona, city, county, and HOA requirements when those reviews are included in the approved project scope.
Pricing depends on scope, materials, access, utilities, drainage, site conditions, and design complexity. Quotes are confirmed after an AE designer reviews your project.
AI concepts are inspirational and must be reviewed by AE before they can become a real project plan. Renders are not engineering, permit, or construction documents.
Permit, HOA, engineering, and code requirements vary by city, county, neighborhood, and project scope. Your final, signed AE agreement and any city/HOA approvals control the work performed.
