FAQs About Cedar Pergolas
How long does a cedar pergola last in Texas?
With proper care and sealing, a cedar pergola can last 20+ years, even in harsh Texas conditions.
Can my pergola provide rain protection?
Yes. We can add polycarbonate roof panels, standing-seam accents, or louvered elements for shade and light rain coverage while maintaining airflow.
Do you offer custom features like lighting and fans?
Absolutely. We integrate LED lighting, ceiling fans, outdoor heaters, privacy screens, curtains, and electrical rough-ins for outdoor kitchens and TVs.
What’s the difference between a pergola and a patio cover?
Pergolas provide partial shade and architectural style with open or semi-covered tops. Patio covers offer full coverage. We build both and can help you choose.
