A pergola turns a hot patio into a usable one. A gazebo gives you a covered seat. A privacy screen turns a fishbowl yard into a private one. We build all three.
Most outdoor structures need a permit if they're over 10 square metres or attached to the house — we handle the application. Cedar is the default species; pressure-treated and aluminum are also available depending on the look you want.
