Pergolas, Patio Covers & Outdoor Structures

Create Comfortable Outdoor Living Areas

Your outdoor space has so much more potential than just a bare deck or patio. Adding a pergola, patio cover, or other outdoor structure transforms how you use your backyard. Suddenly you have shade from the intense California sun, protection from light rain, and defined spaces for dining, relaxing, or entertaining. We design and build custom outdoor structures throughout Ontario, CA that extend your living space into the outdoors.

These aren't just practical additions, they're architectural features that dramatically improve your home's appearance and value. A well-designed pergola or patio cover becomes the focal point of your backyard. It gives your outdoor area a finished, intentional look that makes you actually want to spend time outside. And in Ontario's climate where we can enjoy outdoor living almost year-round, that's a real quality of life improvement.

Outdoor Structures We Build

Here's what we can add to your outdoor space:

• Pergolas - Open-roof structures with beams and rafters, perfect for climbing plants and partial shade
• Solid patio covers - Full protection from sun and rain, extends your usable outdoor season
• Lattice covers - Mix of sun and shade with an airy, decorative appearance
• Shade sails and canopies - Modern tensioned fabric for contemporary style and UV protection
• Gazebos and pavilions - Freestanding structures that create defined outdoor rooms
• Privacy screens and trellises - Add privacy and vertical interest to your outdoor areas

Custom Design for Your Space

Every backyard is different, so we design each structure to fit your specific space and needs. We'll visit your property, take measurements, and discuss how you want to use the area. Do you need full shade for a dining table? Partial shade over a deck? A striking architectural element visible from inside your home? We consider sun angles, views, existing structures, and your style preferences.

Material choices give you lots of flexibility. Traditional wood pergolas offer timeless beauty and can be stained to match your home. Vinyl or composite materials provide low maintenance options that never need painting. Metal structures bring modern industrial style. We can combine materials too, like wood beams with metal posts or composite rafters with wood trim. The goal is creating something that looks custom-made for your home, because it is.

Perfect Pairing with Your Deck

Pergolas and patio covers pair beautifully with decks. If you're planning a new deck, consider adding a shade structure from the start. We can design them together as one cohesive project. Already have a deck? No problem. We regularly add pergolas and covers to existing decks, carefully matching materials and finishes so everything looks like it was built together.

These structures also work great over patios, poolsides, or as standalone features in your yard. We've built pergolas over outdoor kitchens, covered walkways connecting different parts of properties, and decorative arbors that frame garden entrances. Whatever outdoor living improvement you're imagining, our Ontario team can probably build it. We handle everything from design and permits to construction and finishing.
