Custom Ramadas and Pergolas

IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA

When you're looking to upgrade your desert landscape, you need a beautiful balance of greenery, flowers and structures. One of the most important elements to incorporate as part of your complete project is a shade element.
Another way to fight the hot Arizona sun is with a ramada or pergola. These can range from a freestanding aluminum or steel structure with a lattice roof, to a structure with a tiled roof that looks like it’s part of your home.

Whether you’re looking to create the ultimate place to relax poolside, a space to entertain the whole swim team, or even host weddings or events, we can help you design the perfect outdoor shade structure as part of your larger backyard project.

Indoor/Outdoor Living at its Finest With a Custom Ramada

A ramada is a fully-covered roof structure providing shade and shelter from weather. Built free standing or attached to your home, a ramada is perfect for housing a complete entertainment space with your outdoor kitchen, TV area and fireplace.

It’s well suited for larger backyard spaces and projects. A ramada is an excellent gathering space for entertaining large parties, family reunions, weddings or special events.

Some of the more popular styles and options to choose from are a flat or vaulted ceiling, solid vs. open walls, additional sun protection like an awning, a built-in TV niche, custom lighting, ceiling fans, kitchen appliances and sound systems.

This gallery includes a few of the custom ramadas we’ve built here in Phoenix as part of our complete package. Careful or you might end up spending more time outside than in your house!

Pergolas That Keep The Breeze Flowing

A pergola is typically an open or lattice roof structure providing partial shade, but can be built fully enclosed for complete shade. Columns or posts support a trellis structure, which can be built stand alone or designed to appear like an extension of the home.

A pergola is perfect for extending an existing deck or patio. Open structures allow cooling airflow, creating an airy, relaxing, shady space for your patio, pool or garden.

Options to choose from include the size and dimensions, the color and the style of the end cuts, and a wooden roof vs. Alumawood™ (an aluminum material textured like wood, offering an economical, low maintenance, visually appealing and environmentally friendly option).

Take a look at some of the beautiful custom pergolas we’ve built in northern Phoenix in conjunction with larger projects. Sit back and relax with a cold drink in the shade, you might just doze off!
