Pergolas, Patio Covers & Outdoor Structures

Create Comfortable Outdoor Living Space

Pergolas and patio covers solve a simple problem: California sunshine is great, but too much direct sun makes your patio unusable during the hottest parts of the day. A well-designed shade structure lets you enjoy your outdoor space without dealing with harsh sun and heat.

In Fullerton, where summer temperatures regularly hit the 90s, having covered outdoor space makes a huge difference. You can have dinner outside in July. You can sit on your patio in the afternoon without roasting. A good shade structure extends your usable outdoor season and makes your backyard actually functional.

We design and build custom pergolas, patio covers, and outdoor structures that match your home's style and fit your yard's layout. If you're looking for fully enclosed options instead, check out our sunroom and enclosure services to compare different approaches to outdoor living.

Types of Outdoor Structures We Build

Here's what we offer for outdoor shade and shelter:

• Traditional pergolas: Open-top structures with cross-beam roofs that provide partial shade and architectural interest
• Solid patio covers: Fully covered roofs that provide complete sun and rain protection
• Louvered patio covers: Adjustable roof systems that let you control how much sun and ventilation you want
• Attached patio covers: Extensions from your home's roof line that create covered outdoor space
• Freestanding structures: Independent shade structures that can be placed anywhere in your yard
• Custom gazebos: Dedicated outdoor rooms with full roof coverage and optional screening or enclosure

The right structure depends on how much shade you need, where you want it, and what your budget looks like. We help you figure out which option makes the most sense for your situation.

Built to Last in California Weather

We build outdoor structures using materials that stand up to sun, heat, and occasional rain. Your options include pressure-treated wood, composite materials, aluminum, and vinyl. Each has advantages depending on your priorities for maintenance, appearance, and budget.

Wood pergolas and patio covers offer a classic look and can be stained or painted to match your home. Aluminum and vinyl structures require almost no maintenance and won't fade or deteriorate in the sun. Composite materials split the difference, giving you the look of wood without the upkeep.

For homeowners throughout Fullerton, Anaheim, Brea, and nearby areas, we design structures that complement your home's architecture and your landscaping. This isn't off-the-shelf work. Everything is measured and built specifically for your property. If you want more protection from weather, explore our patio enclosure options which add walls and screening to your covered space.

Why Add a Pergola or Patio Cover?

Beyond the practical benefit of shade, these structures add real value to your property. A well-designed patio cover makes your outdoor space look intentional and finished. It creates defined areas for dining, lounging, or entertaining.

Plus, covered outdoor space effectively extends your home's living area. You get usable square footage that doesn't require heating, cooling, or the full expense of interior construction. For families looking to maximize their backyard without breaking the bank, pergolas and patio covers deliver excellent value. For the ultimate outdoor upgrade, consider combining a patio cover with our screen room services for bug-free outdoor living.
