FAQs About Pergola Designs & Construction

Do I need a permit to build a pergola?

Yes, since our pergolas are permanent structures, they require a permit from your local village. ARchadeck handles the permit process, including applying for, obtaining, and enforcing yoru permit.

Do pergolas create shade?

Yes, pergolas offer shade and relief from the sun, though they don't offer total coverage as the top is a slatted system rather than a covered structure like a screened porch.

What materials are used for a pergola?

We build custom wood pergolas, typically in pressure-treated pine or cedar. We also offer a mechanical aluminum louvered pergola, although not fully custom, we can customize the size to accommodate yoru space.

Can I put a pergola on my deck?

Yes! We can seamlessly integrate a custom pergola design onto your existing deck or patio.

How much does a pergola cost?

Our custom pergola designs start around 6K. Your design consultant will provide you with an exact quote for your specific size, style, materials, and design.
