Custom Pergolas Built to Last
Add shade, style, and value to your outdoor space with expert design and installation from 616 Custom Construction.
Pergolas
A custom pergola does more than add shade. It creates a defined outdoor living space that feels comfortable, polished, and built for how you use your yard. At 616 Custom Construction, we build pergolas that add structure, beauty, and function to patios, decks, pool areas, gardens, and backyard entertaining spaces.
Our pergola service starts with planning. We look at the size of your space, sun exposure, drainage, nearby hardscaping, and how you want the area to work day to day. Some homeowners want a simple architectural feature over a patio. Others want a larger outdoor structure that helps frame an outdoor kitchen, fire pit area, seating space, or walkway. We design around your layout so the finished pergola fits your home and landscape instead of looking like an add-on.
We build pergolas in a range of styles, from clean modern lines to more traditional designs. Common options include freestanding pergolas, attached pergolas, patio pergolas, garden pergolas, and decorative entry pergolas. Depending on the project, we can incorporate features like wider posts, privacy screens, integrated lighting prep, accent details, and design elements that match nearby fencing, decking, paver patios, or retaining walls.
Material selection matters. We help you choose the right look and maintenance level for your project, whether that means natural wood for warmth and character or low-maintenance composite and other durable exterior materials for long-term performance. We focus on solid footings, careful post placement, strong framing, and clean finish work so your pergola stands up well through changing weather and regular use.
A professionally built pergola can improve comfort, boost curb appeal, and make your backyard more useful for relaxing or hosting guests. It can also help tie together your full landscape construction plan by creating a focal point and adding dimension to open spaces.

Our Pergola Process
We make pergola projects simple, clear, and built to last. From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, we focus on smart design, solid craftsmanship, and a smooth customer experience.
Consultation, Site Visit & Design
We start with a site visit to measure the space, review sun exposure, drainage, grade, and existing hardscape, then talk through how you want to use your pergola. We provide a clear design plan, material options, and a detailed estimate so you know exactly what to expect before we build.
Planning, Layout & Preparation
Once approved, we finalize the pergola layout, confirm footing locations, elevations, and tie-ins with your patio, deck, or landscape features, then schedule the work around weather and site conditions. This prep stage helps us avoid surprises, protect your property, and keep your project moving on a realistic timeline.
Pergola Build & Final Walkthrough
Our crew installs the footings, posts, beams, and rafters with close attention to structural strength, clean lines, and long-term durability, typically completing most builds within a few days depending on size and complexity. We finish with a full walkthrough, answer your questions, and make sure every detail meets the standard we stand behind at 616 Custom Construction.
Pergola FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners planning a new pergola. If you are comparing options, costs, and timelines, this should help you feel confident about the next step with 616 Custom Construction.
- How do I know if a pergola is right for my backyard?
A pergola is a great fit if you want shade, structure, and a more finished outdoor living space without fully closing it in. We help you decide based on your yard size, sun exposure, patio layout, and how you want to use the space.
- Can you build a custom pergola to match my home?
Yes. We design and build custom pergolas that fit your home’s style, your yard, and the way you plan to use the space. We can match existing hardscaping, improve patio flow, and create a clean, balanced look that feels like it belongs there.
- What materials do you use for pergolas?
We build pergolas using quality materials chosen for strength, appearance, and long-term performance. The best option depends on your goals, budget, and maintenance preferences. We walk you through the pros and cons so you can make the right choice with confidence.
- How long does pergola installation take?
Most pergola projects move faster than homeowners expect, but timing depends on size, design, site conditions, and material selection. We give you a clear timeline before we begin, communicate throughout the job, and work hard to keep your project moving smoothly.
- Do I need a permit for a pergola?
Some pergola projects do require permits, depending on the size, location, and local building rules. We help you understand what is needed for your project and make sure the work is planned the right way so there are no avoidable surprises later.
- How much does a pergola cost?
Pergola cost depends on the size, design, materials, and site conditions. Simple builds cost less than fully custom features with upgrades. We provide clear, honest pricing so you know exactly what you are getting, and we can help you find the best value for your budget.
Why Homeowners Recommend Us
See what people noticed about our work, communication, and finished outdoor spaces.
We hired Cohen & his crew at 616 to repair some trim on the front of our house, take off our old deck, and install a new composite deck. We could not be happier with the finished work. Cohen was communicative and kind throughout the process. We ran into an issue with the permit initially that Cohen helped take care of - whatever control he had over the situation he made sure to execute and did everything he could to make the process smooth and right for us. We are excited for our new deck and would absolutely recommend the 616 crew to others.
Absolutely loved working with 616 Custom Construction! They are so easy to work with, straight forward and the work was better than I expected! All the guys working were incredibly respectful of myself and my family including minimal noise and proximity to our daily activities (i.e. leaving the house, parking) I'm looking forward to the next time I hire them to help me improve my home's features!
Had a deck installed recently, finished product was much more than we were expecting. Great quality work by great respectful people.
