You know the drill. You invest in outdoor furniture, set up your patio, and then Florida weather hits. Rain ruins your plans. Sun makes it unbearable by noon. Traditional wood structures start warping within months.
That’s where aluminum pergolas change everything. You get a space that works when you want to use it. Morning coffee under filtered sunlight. Afternoon shade that actually keeps you cool. Evening dinners that don’t get rained out.
Your pergola becomes the spot where your family gathers. Where you finally use that outdoor kitchen. Where you can relax outside without constantly checking the weather app.

In Westgate Lake Manor, FL, your pergola needs to handle more than just providing shade. It needs to withstand hurricane-force winds, daily rain showers, and year-round humidity that destroys traditional materials.
Our aluminum pergolas feature hurricane-rated engineering with wind resistance up to 180 mph. The powder-coated finish won’t fade, rust, or require annual maintenance like wood alternatives. Integrated gutters handle South Florida’s afternoon downpours.
You can choose from freestanding pergolas perfect for pool areas, or attached pergolas that extend your home’s living space. Motorized louvered roofs let you control sun and shade throughout the day. Optional screens provide bug protection during Florida’s mosquito season.
Aluminum pergolas are engineered to last 20+ years in South Florida’s challenging climate. Unlike wood that warps, rots, and attracts termites within a few years, aluminum won’t deteriorate from humidity or storm damage.
The powder-coated finish resists fading even under Florida’s intense UV rays. Most manufacturers offer 10-15 year warranties on materials, and the structures themselves often last much longer with minimal maintenance.
You’ll save money long-term compared to wood pergolas that need replacing every 5-7 years in our climate.
Yes, most pergola installations in Westgate Lake Manor require building permits, especially for permanent structures attached to your home. The City of Plantation has specific requirements for outdoor structures.
We handle all permit applications and ensure your pergola meets local building codes. This includes proper foundation depth, wind load calculations, and setback requirements from property lines.
Getting permits protects your investment and prevents issues when you sell your home. Many homeowners don’t realize unpermitted structures can cause problems during real estate transactions.
Properly engineered aluminum pergolas can withstand hurricane-force winds up to 180 mph when installed correctly. This requires specific foundation depths, reinforced connections, and materials rated for high wind loads.
Our pergolas use heavy-duty aluminum construction with engineered anchor systems that exceed Florida building codes. The louvered roof design allows wind to pass through rather than creating lift that damages solid roof structures.
We also include integrated drainage systems that handle South Florida’s intense rainfall without water damage to your patio or home foundation.
Wood pergolas typically last 5-7 years in Florida before requiring major repairs or replacement due to rot, termite damage, and warping from humidity. They need annual staining, regular pest treatments, and constant maintenance.
Aluminum pergolas last 20+ years with virtually no maintenance. They won’t rot, warp, or attract pests. The initial cost is higher, but you save money long-term by avoiding replacement and maintenance costs.
Aluminum also offers better wind resistance and can include features like motorized louvers and integrated lighting that aren’t practical with wood construction.
Pergola installation costs vary based on size, features, and complexity, typically ranging from $8,000 to $25,000 for most Westgate Lake Manor homes. Freestanding pergolas cost less than attached structures that require integration with your home.
Premium features like motorized louvers, integrated lighting, or custom sizing increase the investment. However, pergolas often increase property value by 8-12%, making them a smart financial decision.
We provide detailed quotes during your free consultation, including all permits, materials, and installation. No hidden fees or surprise costs during the project.
Most pergola installations in Westgate Lake Manor take 2-3 days once permits are approved. Simple freestanding pergolas can be completed in one day, while complex attached structures with electrical integration may take longer.
Permit approval typically adds 2-3 weeks to the timeline, which is why we handle applications immediately after your design consultation. We schedule installation as soon as permits are approved.
Weather can cause delays during Florida’s rainy season, but we work around afternoon storms and reschedule if severe weather is forecast. Your safety and the quality of installation are our priorities.
