QUESTIONS · ANSWERED

Pergolas & Pavilions questions, answered.

Cedar or steel?

Cedar reads warmer and ages naturally with stain refresh; steel is lower-maintenance and supports larger spans. We design for the yard.

Do I need a permit?

Most pavilions yes; open pergolas under 200 sqft sometimes no. We confirm with your municipality before quoting.

How long does a build take?

Typical pergola: 1–2 weeks. Pavilion with engineering and permit: 4–6 weeks total.

Will the wood last in Chicago winters?

Yes with cedar + UV-stable stain + year-1 touch-up. Most cedar pergolas hit 25+ years.

Can it integrate with my patio?

Yes — most pergolas attach to the house above the patio or sit freestanding inside the paver field.
