Transform Your Deck With a Pergola or Patio Cover

A beautiful deck is great, but adding a pergola or patio cover takes it to the next level. These structures provide shade from the hot Fontana sun, define your outdoor living space, and create a stylish focal point for your backyard. Whether you want partial shade or full coverage, we can design and build the perfect structure for your home.

Pergolas are ideal if you want filtered sunlight and a more open feel. Patio covers offer complete protection from sun and rain, making your outdoor space usable year-round. Both options add value to your property and give you more ways to enjoy your deck, patio, or yard.

Outdoor Structure Options

We build a variety of outdoor structures to fit different needs and styles. Here are the most popular options for Fontana homeowners:

  • Traditional pergolas: Open-top structures with evenly spaced beams that create a lattice effect. Perfect for adding character and light shade.
  • Solid patio covers: Fully covered roofs that provide complete sun and rain protection. Can be attached to your home or freestanding.
  • Louvered roofs: Adjustable slats that let you control the amount of sunlight and airflow. Modern and functional.
  • Gazebos: Standalone structures with a solid roof and open sides. Great for creating a separate seating area in your yard.
  • Cabanas and shade structures: Custom designs with fabric or solid roofs for poolside relaxation or outdoor dining.

Choosing Materials and Design

The materials you choose will affect the look, durability, and maintenance requirements of your outdoor structure. We work with a variety of options to match your style and budget.

Wood Pergolas and Covers

Wood is the most popular choice for pergolas because it has a natural, warm appearance. We use pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or redwood depending on your preference. Wood structures can be stained or painted to match your home. Check out our wood deck services for more information on wood options.

Composite and Metal Options

If you want something low-maintenance, composite or aluminum pergolas are a great choice. These materials do not rot, warp, or need regular staining. They come in a variety of colors and finishes, including wood-grain textures. Metal structures are also extremely durable and can handle strong winds and heavy rain.

Custom Features and Additions

We can add features like built-in lighting, ceiling fans, retractable shades, or climbing plants to make your pergola or patio cover even more functional and beautiful. If you want to create an outdoor kitchen or entertainment area, we can design a structure that accommodates all your needs.

Why Homeowners Love Pergolas and Patio Covers

Adding a pergola or patio cover to your deck or yard offers more than just shade. It creates a defined outdoor room that feels like an extension of your home. You can entertain guests, relax with family, or enjoy meals outside without worrying about harsh sun or sudden rain showers.

These structures also increase your property value and curb appeal. A well-designed pergola or patio cover makes your home stand out and gives potential buyers one more reason to fall in love with your property. If you already have a deck, adding a cover is the perfect next step. Learn more about our custom deck design services or visit our homepage.
