Questions we hear

Pergolas in El Dorado Hills: FAQ

How much does a pergola cost in Sacramento?+

Pergola pricing depends on size, material (cedar, redwood, IPE, powder-coated aluminum), whether it's free-standing or attached, footing depth, electrical pre-wire, and whether you want a motorized louvered roof. A simple cedar shade is a different project than a 20-foot motorized louvered system with integrated lighting. We'll measure the space, review your goals, and email an itemized estimate after the walk.

Do I need a permit?+

Most attached pergolas and any structure over 120 sq ft require a permit. Free-standing under 120 sq ft often does not. We confirm with your city and handle permitting.

Wood or aluminum?+

Wood (redwood, IPE, cedar) looks warmer and more custom but requires re-staining every 3-5 years. Aluminum is lower maintenance and supports motorized louvered roofs but is more expensive upfront.
