Our Services

Custom Pergola Installation

We handle complete pergola installation for residential and commercial properties throughout Wilmington, NC. Every project is planned around the site, the intended use, and the design preferences of the owner so the finished pergola fits the space from day one.

Pergola Material Options

Our pergola builders work with wood, pressure-treated lumber, PVC, composite, and aluminum based on the style and long-term maintenance expectations of each project. Each material is chosen for its outdoor performance and suitability for the design being built.

Attached and Freestanding Pergolas

We build both attached and freestanding custom outdoor pergola structures depending on what the property and layout require. Attached options connect to the home or building while freestanding designs are positioned independently anywhere on the property.

Classic and Custom Pergola Styles

Our team builds classic open-beam pergolas as well as fully custom designs tailored to the look and function the property owner has in mind. Every pergola is designed in-house and reviewed before construction begins to make sure it matches expectations.

Louvered Pergola Systems

Louvered options include motorized and fixed systems that allow the roof to be adjusted for shade, ventilation, or weather protection. Equinox louvered pergola systems are available for property owners who want a high-performance motorized option with a clean, modern finish.
