Pergolas, Patio Covers & Outdoor Structures
Create shade, comfort, and style in your backyard with custom outdoor structures built to last.
Why Add a Pergola or Patio Cover to Your Backyard?
Florida sun can be intense, and spending time on your patio or deck without shade gets uncomfortable fast. A pergola, patio cover, or other outdoor structure gives you the shade you need to actually enjoy your backyard. It also adds beauty, increases your home's value, and creates a defined outdoor living space where you can relax, entertain, or dine.
When you work with WPB West Palm Beach Sunrooms, you get a custom-designed outdoor structure built specifically for your property. We do not use cheap, prefabricated kits. We design and build everything from scratch using high-quality materials that stand up to Florida's weather. Whether you want a simple pergola, a fully covered patio, or something more complex, we have the expertise to make it happen.
We handle everything from design to permits to final construction. You do not have to worry about coordinating with multiple contractors or dealing with building code issues. We take care of it all so you can focus on planning how you will use your new outdoor space.
Types of Outdoor Structures We Build
Every backyard is different, and we design outdoor structures to match your home's architecture and your family's needs. Here are the most popular options:
- Pergolas: A pergola is an open structure with posts and beams that provides partial shade. You can add climbing plants for extra shade and beauty, or we can install a retractable canopy for adjustable coverage. Pergolas work great over patios, decks, or walkways.
- Solid roof patio covers: For maximum sun protection, a solid roof patio cover is the way to go. We use insulated panels or metal roofing that blocks all direct sunlight and keeps your patio cool. Solid roofs also provide full protection from rain.
- Louvered roof systems: These are adjustable roof systems that let you control how much sun and shade you get. When it is sunny, you close the louvers for full shade. When you want more light or airflow, you open them. Louvered roofs also drain water away when it rains.
- Gazebos: A gazebo is a freestanding structure with a solid roof and open sides. It creates a defined outdoor room that you can use for dining, lounging, or even as an outdoor kitchen area.
- Arbors and trellises: These are smaller structures that add visual interest and provide support for climbing plants. They work great as entryways, garden features, or accent pieces.
- Custom outdoor structures: If you have a specific vision for your backyard, we can design and build a custom structure that matches your needs. We work with you to create something unique that fits your space perfectly.
How We Design and Build Outdoor Structures
We have been building pergolas, patio covers, and outdoor structures across West Palm Beach and the surrounding areas since 2024, and we know exactly what it takes to create something that looks great and holds up to Florida's weather. Here is our process:
Step 1: Design Consultation
We start by visiting your property to look at your backyard, discuss your vision, and recommend the best type of structure for your needs and budget. We show you examples of previous projects and help you choose materials, colors, and design features.
Step 2: Custom Design and Engineering
Once we understand your goals, we create detailed plans that show exactly what we will build. We engineer every structure to meet Florida's strict wind load requirements so your pergola or patio cover will stand up to hurricanes and severe storms.
Step 3: Permits and Construction
We handle all the permit paperwork with your local building department. Once we have approval, we start construction. Most outdoor structure projects take one to three weeks from start to finish, depending on size and complexity.
Pergolas and Patio Covers vs Sunrooms and Enclosures
You might be wondering whether a pergola or patio cover is right for you, or if you should consider a sunroom or patio enclosure instead. Here is the difference: pergolas and patio covers provide shade but they are open to the outdoors. You will still feel the breeze and hear outdoor sounds. Sunrooms and patio enclosures have walls and windows that create a fully enclosed space where you are protected from bugs, wind, and rain.
Pergolas and patio covers cost less than sunrooms and enclosures, and they are great if you want shade without feeling closed in. But if you want a space you can use even when it is raining or windy, a sunroom or enclosure is a better choice.
We build all types of outdoor living spaces, and we can help you decide which option is best for your home and budget. Give us a call at (561) 954-1833 to schedule a free consultation. We also specialize in converting existing structures if you decide you want more features down the road.
