Built for Castle Pines
A pergola makes your patio a place you actually want to sit. Up here at about 6,400 feet, the mountain sun is strong, so a pergola with open cedar or composite slats throws nice, cool shade over your table and chairs. But here's the honest part most folks need to hear first.
An open-slat pergola looks beautiful and gives you shade — but it does NOT keep off hail or rain. The gaps let it right through. If you want real cover from Hail-Alley storms, you want a solid roof or an aluminum louvered roof you can close. We'll tell you straight which one fits what you're picturing.
“After researching several local companies, they were the clear winner. The quality far exceeded the cost — craftsmanship in every square inch.”

Most pergola problems here trace back to the soil, the sun, or a skipped approval. We build for all three.
The clay under Castle Pines swells up when it gets wet. That's what pushes pergola posts around and leans them over time. We set the posts down deep to solid ground, so a wet spring can't lift or lean it.
If you go with a solid or louvered roof, it has to hold Castle Pines snow. We size the frame for the snow load up here at 6,400 feet, so a heavy storm doesn't sag or strain it.
Castle Pines sits right in Hail Alley. Open slats give great shade but don't stop hail. A louvered or solid roof does — close it before a storm and your patio stays dry. We'll point you to the right one.
If you're in the City of Castle Pines, a pergola needs a city permit. If you're in the gated Village, the permit goes through Douglas County and the design review has to approve the plans first. We sort out which one your home is in and handle it.
“The inspector was impressed by their system and mentioned this deck is built to withstand a hurricane.”

After a few hundred Front Range builds, the requests from this town are predictable in the best way. Odds are yours is on this list — and we've already solved it.
The most-asked-for build: open cedar or composite slats over your patio table, throwing cool, dappled shade so you can sit out there even when the mountain sun is strong.
An aluminum louvered roof has top slats that turn — open them for sun, close them for rain or hail. It's the pick for folks who want shade most days and real cover when a storm rolls in.
If you're building or have a deck, we build the pergola at the same time, in the same finish, so the two look like one project — not two add-ons that don't quite match.
Add a wall or screen to one side to block the neighbor's view or cut the wind off the open space, so your shaded spot actually feels private.
In the gated Village, nothing gets built until the design review approves the plans, materials and colors. We've done that paperwork before and handle it for you.
Up this high the sun is strong and the snow is heavy. We pick materials and size the frame so your pergola holds up to both, year after year.
