FAQ
Common Questions About Pergola Construction
How much does a custom pergola cost?
Price depends on size, material, roof style, and site work. See our 2026 Pergola Cost Guide for more pricing details. Contact us for a quote that fits your yard and budget.
Do I need a permit for a pergola in San Antonio?
Most custom pergolas in San Antonio need a permit if they are over 200 square feet or tied into the main roofline. We handle the plan review and permit process for you.
How do cedar pergolas hold up in the South Texas humidity?
Cedar resists rot, but strong sun and humidity can still cause wear over time.
To keep its color and strength, you may need to restain or seal it every two to three years.
For an easy-care option, choose an aluminum pergola.
What options give more protection than an open pergola?
Polygal roof panels add UV and heat protection while still letting in light. For full cover, choose a solid patio cover or a screened porch enclosure.
