FAQs About Pergolas in Charlotte, NC

1. Do I need a building permit for a pergola in Charlotte?

In Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, the rules generally depend on the size and attachment. Attached pergolas almost always require a building permit because they're considered a structure addition. Freestanding pergolas typically require a permit if they exceed a certain square footage. Archadeck handles the permit process, applying for and securing any necessary permits.

2. What is the best material for the Charlotte climate?

Charlotte’s high humidity and heat index can be brutal on outdoor structures. We build with pressure-treated pine. It offers a durable and classic material. To prevent warping and damage from the NC sun, you must seal your pergola. 

3. Can I build a pergola if I have an HOA?

Yes, but it depends on your HOA. Most HOAs require an Architectural Review Committee (ARC) application before you break ground. Archadeck will provide you with any necessary documents needed to secure your HOA approval.

4. How much will it cost to build a pergola​

We share that our custom pergola typically starts around 6K. The cost of your pergola will depend on the size, attachment style, functionality, materials, and design. Speak with one of our professional design consultants to get an exact quote. 

5. Can I build a pergola over a deck or patio? 

Yes! Typically, we can build a pergola on your existing deck or patio. This is a popular service for homeowners looking to add shade and dimension to their current outdoor space.
