No more cancelled gatherings because of weather. No more furniture getting damaged by sun or rain. Your new pergola means family dinners happen on schedule, pool parties don’t get rained out, and you actually want to spend time outside.
South Florida’s climate demands smart solutions. You get reliable shade exactly where you need it, protection that lasts through hurricane season, and an outdoor room that works year-round. Your investment pays off every single day you’re not scrambling to move everything inside.
Quality materials built specifically for our humid, salty air environment mean years without the constant maintenance headaches that come with wood structures. You’re not dealing with warping, rotting, or endless staining projects.
We bring comprehensive design expertise to every pergola installation in Coral Gables. We understand how South Florida’s unique climate demands specific materials and construction methods that most contractors simply don’t consider.
As a full-service design company, we handle everything from initial consultation through final installation. We’re not just pergola installers—we’re outdoor living specialists who know exactly what works in Coral Gables’ Mediterranean Revival neighborhoods and what doesn’t.
Every pergola we install uses materials engineered specifically for South Florida’s demanding weather conditions. Aluminum structures that resist rust, mold, and fading in our humid, salty air. No shortcuts, no generic solutions that work everywhere else but fail here.
We start with an on-site consultation to understand exactly how you want to use your space. Pool area? Dining space? Entertainment zone? Your vision drives every decision we make about placement, size, and features.
Next comes the design phase where we create detailed plans that work with your home’s architecture and meet Miami-Dade County building codes. We handle all permit applications and engineering drawings, so you’re not dealing with bureaucracy or wondering if everything’s done correctly.
Installation typically takes 1-2 days once permits and materials are ready. Our team manages every detail, from reinforced footings that extend deep enough to resist hurricane-force winds to final cleanup. You get detailed quotes upfront that break down all costs, so there are no surprises when the project’s complete.

We offer both freestanding and attached pergola designs that complement Coral Gables’ distinctive Mediterranean Revival architecture. Freestanding pergolas create focal points in your yard without requiring existing structures for support. Attached pergolas extend your home’s living space by connecting directly to your house or patio.
Coral Gables homeowners particularly appreciate our insulated pergola options, which provide superior temperature control during those intense summer months. Louvered designs give you precise control over sunlight and ventilation throughout the day—open for breeze, close for protection.
Installation costs in Coral Gables typically range from $18 to $45 per square foot, depending on materials and design complexity. A standard 10×10 foot pergola represents the most popular size among local homeowners. Additional features like integrated lighting, motorized louvers, or custom finishes adjust the final price, but we provide detailed quotes that show exactly what you’re investing in.
Properly engineered pergolas built to Miami-Dade building codes can withstand significant wind loads, including hurricane-force winds when designed appropriately. The key is using hurricane-rated materials and professional installation with reinforced footings that extend deep enough to resist both high winds and uplift.
We use aluminum structures specifically engineered for South Florida’s demanding weather conditions. These materials resist rust, mold, and fading that destroy other pergola materials in our humid, salty air environment. Every connection uses hurricane-rated bolts and brackets that hold everything firmly in place.
While no structure can be guaranteed against a Category 5 hurricane, our pergolas are designed with Miami-Dade Certification of Acceptance—some of the highest standards in the country for storm-rated construction. This means lab-tested, wind-resistant design that meets nationally recognized standards for coastal high-wind zones.
Aluminum pergolas excel in Coral Gables’ climate because they resist rust, mold, and fading that can damage other materials. They require virtually no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning and won’t warp, crack, or rot in our humid conditions.
Wood pergolas offer natural beauty and can be stained or painted to match your home’s aesthetic. However, they require regular maintenance including staining, sealing, and potential repairs from weather damage or insect issues common in South Florida.
For most Coral Gables homeowners, aluminum pergolas provide the best long-term value. They cost less upfront, require minimal maintenance, and maintain their appearance for decades in our challenging climate conditions. You’re not dealing with constant upkeep projects or replacement costs down the road.
Most pergola installations in Coral Gables require building permits, especially for permanent structures attached to your home. The specific permit requirements depend on your pergola’s size, location, and attachment method.
We handle all permit applications and engineering drawings required by Miami-Dade County building codes. This includes preparing detailed construction plans, submitting applications, and coordinating with building inspectors throughout the approval process.
Working with professionals who understand local requirements saves you time and ensures your pergola meets all safety standards. Trying to navigate the permit process yourself often leads to delays, rejections, or installations that don’t meet code requirements.
Most standard pergola projects install in 1–2 days after permits and materials are ready. However, the complete timeline from initial consultation to final installation typically takes 3-6 weeks, depending on permit processing and material availability.
The design and permitting phase usually takes 2-4 weeks. We need time to create detailed plans that work with your space, submit permit applications, and wait for approval from Miami-Dade County building department.
Once permits are approved and materials arrive, actual installation moves quickly. Our team manages every detail from reinforced footings to final cleanup, so you’re not dealing with construction disruption for weeks. Most homeowners are surprised how fast the transformation happens once we start building.
A standard 10×10 foot pergola represents the most popular size among Coral Gables homeowners. This size provides enough coverage for a dining table and chairs or a comfortable seating area without overwhelming typical backyard proportions.
The right size depends on how you plan to use the space and your yard’s layout. Pool areas often benefit from larger structures, while intimate dining spaces work well with smaller footprints. We help you determine the optimal size during our on-site consultation.
Consider both current needs and future plans. Many homeowners start with one pergola and add additional structures later as their outdoor living vision expands. We can design installations that work independently or connect to create larger covered areas over time.
Our complete pergola installation service includes initial consultation, custom design, all permit applications, engineering drawings, materials, professional installation, and final cleanup. You’re not coordinating multiple contractors or wondering if something’s been forgotten.
We handle permit applications and engineering drawings required by Miami-Dade County building codes. This includes preparing detailed construction plans, submitting applications, and coordinating with building inspectors throughout the approval process.
