Pergolas, Patio Covers & Outdoor Structures

Outdoor Structures That Transform Your Backyard

Pergolas and patio covers give you shade and comfort without fully enclosing your outdoor space. They create defined areas for dining, relaxing, or entertaining while maintaining that open-air feel. In Inglewood's sunny climate, these structures make your backyard usable even during the warmest parts of the day.

We design and build custom outdoor structures that match your home's architecture and fit your specific needs. Whether you want a classic wooden pergola, a modern aluminum patio cover, or a combination structure with both shade and sunroom features, we create exactly what you envision.

Choose the Right Structure for Your Space

Each type of outdoor structure serves different purposes. Here's what we build:

• •Pergolas: Open-top structures with crossbeams that provide partial shade and architectural interest. Perfect for growing vines or hanging lights.
• •Solid Patio Covers: Fully covered structures that block sun and rain, extending your usable outdoor space in all weather.
• •Louvered Covers: Adjustable roof slats that let you control how much sun and air reaches your patio throughout the day.
• •Shade Sails: Modern fabric canopies stretched between posts to create dramatic shade patterns.
• •Gazebos: Freestanding covered structures perfect for creating outdoor rooms in your yard.

Materials Built to Last

We use materials designed for Southern California weather. Pressure-treated wood pergolas offer classic looks and work well with traditional home styles. Cedar and redwood resist rot naturally and age beautifully. For lower maintenance, aluminum and vinyl structures never need staining or painting while standing up to years of sun and rain.

Your structure can include extras that increase functionality. We install ceiling fans, lighting, electrical outlets, and speakers. Some clients add retractable screens to keep bugs out during evening gatherings. Others want outdoor heaters for year-round comfort. We also integrate features like built-in planters, privacy walls, and decorative elements that make your space unique.

How Outdoor Structures Improve Your Home

These structures do more than just provide shade. They create defined outdoor rooms that feel like extensions of your home. A well-designed pergola or patio cover encourages you to spend more time outside by making your yard more comfortable and functional. This extra living space is perfect for entertaining guests or just enjoying quiet mornings with coffee.

From a practical standpoint, shade structures protect your patio furniture from sun damage and reduce heat entering your home through adjacent windows and doors. This can lower your cooling costs during summer. They also increase property value by adding architectural interest and usable square footage to your outdoor areas.
