What we do

Shade is what makes a Redding patio usable.

The Shasta County sun is intense. A patio without shade sits empty for half the year. A pergola fixes that and gives the yard a centerpiece.

We design and build each one for its spot: freestanding or attached to the house, traditional or modern, left natural or stained, open to the sky or roofed. Our crew handles the whole job, from planning to cleanup.

  • Traditional and modern pergolas, built on site
  • Freestanding or attached to the house
  • Metal or shingle roofs for full shade
  • Shade fabric, canopies and stain finishes

Choosing your shade

Open rafters, fabric or a solid roof?

Open rafters filter the light and keep the air moving. A fabric canopy blocks more sun, and a retractable one lets you choose day by day. A solid roof gives full shade and keeps the rain off.

Which one suits you depends on which way the patio faces and how you plan to use it. We will walk through that with you.

  • Sized to your patio and your house
  • Posts, beams and connections built for wind
  • Shade for patios, pools, carports and play areas

Questions

Pergolas & Shade: common questions.

What is the best pergola shade for a hot climate like Redding?

A retractable canopy or dense fabric panels. They block the most sun, lower the temperature underneath and let you adjust to the weather. Pick a solid roof if you want full shade and rain cover.

Can a pergola be attached to an existing wall or patio?

Yes. We build pergolas that attach to the house with reinforced hardware. It is a good way to shade a patio without giving up ground to extra posts.

How do I clean and maintain a pergola and its shade cover?

Mild soap and water on the fabric and the frame. Skip harsh chemicals, which can damage the material or the finish. After a storm or high wind, look over the beams, connections and wall mounts.

How much does a pergola cost?

It depends on size, materials and what the site needs. The honest way to price it is to see it, so the estimate is free and done on site.
