Custom Pergola Designs

Every homeowner has a different idea of what their outdoor space should be. As a custom pergola builder, we work closely with you to design a pergola that fits your style, complements your home's architecture, and suits how you use the yard. A custom pergola in Milwaukee can be:

  • Traditional wood or modern metal
  • Freestanding in the yard or built on a deck or patio
  • Fitted with built-in seating, lighting, or outdoor kitchen setups
  • Finished with drapes or climbing plants for extra privacy and shade


Material choice affects both look and upkeep. This post on the best materials for pergola construction compares the options. For roof styles, see these gable roof pergola ideas.

Pergolas on Decks

A pergola is a common final touch on a new deck. We build the deck and pergola together, or add a pergola to an existing deck. Here's what to know about a freestanding pergola on a deck.

Benefits of a Backyard Pergola in Milwaukee

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a pergola?

    A pergola is an outdoor structure with posts and an open-beam roof. It provides partial shade and defines an outdoor area without fully enclosing it.

  • Can a pergola be added to an existing deck?

    Often, yes. We can build a pergola on an existing deck or install it at the same time as a new one.

  • What materials do you use for pergolas?

    Sometimes. The deck has to be checked for structural capacity, footings, post placement, and its ability to support the added load.

  • How do I get a free pergola quote?

    Contact us through the website or call. We'll schedule a consultation to discuss your project, assess your needs, and give you a detailed, transparent quote.
