Whether you prefer the timeless look of a classic wood pergola, the enclosed charm of a gazebo, or the flexibility of a retractable cover, our experienced team will help you choose a solution that complements your home while meeting your functional needs.
Every structure is carefully designed, professionally installed & built using premium materials that perform beautifully for years to come.
Choose from a variety of overhead structures designed to suit every architectural style and outdoor living space.
Pergolas remain one of the most popular overhead structures because of their timeless design, versatility, and ability to define an outdoor living space. Their open-beam construction provides partial shade while keeping your patio or deck feeling bright and connected to the outdoors.
Our custom pergolas are built to match your home’s architecture, creating a finished look that feels both inviting and refined, with construction designed to stand up to Portland’s weather for years to come.
For homeowners who want complete protection from the elements, our gazebos and waterproof roof structures create a dry, comfortable space you can enjoy rain or shine. Unlike an open pergola, these fully covered structures let you keep gatherings going regardless of the forecast.
Manufactured with durable, weather-tested materials, our enclosed structures require minimal maintenance while delivering dependable, all-season performance.

A pergola is an open-beam structure that provides partial shade while keeping the space airy and connected to the outdoors, while a gazebo is fully enclosed overhead, offering complete protection from sun and rain. During your consultation, we'll help you decide which fits your space and how you plan to use it.
Yes. We offer waterproof roof structures and retractable covers that turn an open pergola into a fully weatherproofed space, so you can enjoy your patio or deck rain or shine.
Shade arbors are lighter, more decorative structures than a full pergola, offering filtered shade rather than complete coverage. They're a great option for walkways, entries, and garden accents where you want charm more than heavy shade.
Custom overhead structures are a popular outdoor upgrade that can add both usable living space and curb appeal, making them a worthwhile investment for many Portland homeowners.
Absolutely. Every structure is custom designed to complement your home's architecture and existing outdoor living space, using materials, finishes, and details that create a seamless, cohesive look.
