You know that feeling when you step outside in Atlantis and the Florida sun hits you like a wall? Your backyard should be your escape, not something you avoid half the year.
A properly installed pergola changes everything. You get usable outdoor space during peak sun hours. Your patio becomes the place where you actually want to spend time, not just look at through the window.
The right pergola doesn’t just provide shade—it extends your living space outdoors and makes your home feel bigger. When friends come over, they’ll gravitate toward your outdoor area instead of crowding inside.
We bring over 15 years of design expertise to Atlantis, with established businesses in NYC and Toronto. We’ve learned what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to outdoor structures in challenging climates.
We’re not just pergola installers. We’re a full-service design company that understands how your pergola fits into your overall outdoor vision. That means we think about things like how it integrates with your existing landscape, your home’s architecture, and your actual lifestyle.
In a community like Atlantis, where homeowners invest in quality, we work exclusively with top-tier brands and materials. No shortcuts, no substitutions.
We start with a consultation at your property. Not a sales pitch—an actual assessment of your space, your needs, and what’s realistic for your budget.
Next, we handle the design and engineering. In Florida, this isn’t optional. Every pergola needs to meet hurricane wind load requirements, and we work with licensed engineers to ensure your structure is built to last. We also pull all necessary permits so you don’t have to navigate that process.
Installation typically takes 2-3 days, depending on the complexity. We handle everything from foundation work to final details. You’ll get a structure that’s engineered for Florida weather and built to add value to your property.
Ready to get started?
Every pergola we install in Atlantis is engineered to meet Florida Building Code requirements. That means wind load calculations, proper anchoring, and materials that can handle our unique climate challenges.
You’ll choose from freestanding or attached pergolas, with options for louvered roofs that give you control over sun and rain. Our aluminum construction resists corrosion and requires minimal maintenance—important in our humid, salt-air environment.
In Atlantis, where property values average over $580,000, outdoor improvements like pergolas provide substantial return on investment. Real estate professionals consistently report that well-designed outdoor living spaces recoup significant portions of their cost when homes sell.
Yes, permits are required for pergola installation in Atlantis and throughout Palm Beach County. The permit process ensures your structure meets Florida Building Code requirements, including wind load calculations for hurricane resistance.
We handle the entire permit process for you, including submitting engineered plans and coordinating with local building officials. This typically adds 2-3 weeks to the project timeline, but it’s essential for ensuring your pergola is legally compliant and properly insured.
Don’t risk installing an unpermitted structure. Insurance companies often won’t cover damage from unpermitted additions, and you could face complications when selling your home.
Pergola installation costs in Atlantis typically range from $8,000 to $25,000, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Factors that affect pricing include whether you choose freestanding or attached installation, roofing options, and site preparation requirements.
Hurricane-rated construction and engineered plans add to the upfront cost but provide long-term value through durability and insurance coverage. Aluminum pergolas cost more initially than wood but require virtually no maintenance in our humid climate.
We provide detailed quotes that break down all costs, including permits, engineering, and installation. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Freestanding pergolas stand independently in your yard and offer maximum flexibility in placement. They’re perfect for creating distinct outdoor rooms or positioning away from your home for optimal views and breeze patterns.
Attached pergolas connect to your home’s structure, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. They’re often more cost-effective and provide immediate shade for existing patios or decks. However, attachment requires careful engineering to ensure proper load distribution.
In Atlantis, both options work well. The choice depends on your specific outdoor space, how you plan to use the area, and your home’s architecture. We’ll assess your property and recommend the best approach during our consultation.
Most pergola installations in Atlantis take 2-3 days of actual construction time. However, the complete process typically spans 4-6 weeks from initial consultation to final inspection, primarily due to permit processing and engineering requirements.
The timeline breaks down roughly as follows: design and engineering (1-2 weeks), permit approval (2-3 weeks), and installation (2-3 days). Weather can occasionally cause delays, especially during Florida’s rainy season.
We coordinate all aspects of the timeline and keep you informed throughout the process. Rush permits are available for an additional fee if you need faster completion.
Properly engineered and installed pergolas can withstand significant wind loads, including hurricane-force winds. Our pergolas are designed to meet or exceed Florida Building Code requirements, which mandate structures resist winds up to 150-180 mph depending on your specific location.
The key is professional engineering and proper installation. We work with licensed structural engineers to ensure your pergola’s foundation, anchoring, and construction meet all safety standards. Louvered roof systems offer additional protection by allowing controlled airflow during storms.
No outdoor structure is completely hurricane-proof, but engineered pergolas perform significantly better than DIY or unpermitted installations. We also provide documentation for insurance purposes, ensuring your investment is protected.
Aluminum pergolas require minimal maintenance in Atlantis’s climate. Unlike wood pergolas that need regular staining and sealing, aluminum resists corrosion, insects, and weather damage with virtually no upkeep.
Basic maintenance includes occasional cleaning with mild soap and water to remove pollen, salt residue, and debris. Check and tighten hardware annually, especially after hurricane season. Louvered systems may need periodic lubrication of moving parts.
The powder-coated finish on quality aluminum pergolas maintains its appearance for decades without repainting. This low-maintenance characteristic makes aluminum the preferred choice for busy Atlantis homeowners who want to enjoy their outdoor space, not constantly maintain it.
