Your backyard becomes the place everyone wants to be. No more avoiding your patio during Miami’s intense afternoon sun. No more canceling outdoor dinner parties because there’s nowhere comfortable to sit.
With a professionally installed pergola, you get shade that actually makes a difference. Your outdoor furniture stops fading. Your family starts spending real time outside. And your property value jumps in a market where outdoor living spaces are everything.
The result? You finally use that expensive outdoor space you’ve been ignoring. Your home feels bigger. Your entertaining gets easier. And you stop wishing you had somewhere comfortable to enjoy Miami Beach’s incredible weather year-round.
Miami Design Group brings over 15 years of design experience to Miami Beach’s unique building environment. We understand the challenges of coastal construction – from salt air corrosion to hurricane-force wind requirements.
Our team handles the entire process, from Miami Beach’s specific permitting requirements to final inspection. We’re licensed and insured for Miami-Dade County work, and we know exactly what it takes to build structures that last in this environment.
Miami Beach homeowners choose us because we’re not learning on their project. We’ve already figured out what works here, what doesn’t, and how to navigate the building department efficiently.
We start with an on-site consultation at your Miami Beach property. We’ll assess your space, discuss your vision, and explain what’s possible within local building codes. No surprises, no unrealistic promises.
Next, we handle all permit applications with Miami Beach’s building department. We know exactly what documentation they require and how to get approvals quickly. While permits process, we finalize your custom design and order materials.
Installation typically takes 2-3 days for most residential pergolas. Our crew arrives on schedule, works efficiently, and cleans up completely each day. We schedule all required inspections and don’t consider the job complete until you have your final certificate of completion.

Every pergola we install in Miami Beach uses aluminum construction specifically chosen for salt air resistance. Wood looks nice initially, but it doesn’t survive here long-term. Our aluminum structures won’t rot, warp, or require constant maintenance.
We design for Miami-Dade’s wind load requirements from day one. Your pergola will be engineered to handle hurricane-force winds, not just normal weather. This isn’t optional in Miami Beach – it’s required by code and essential for your safety.
Miami Beach’s dense residential areas mean privacy matters. We can integrate privacy screens, decorative panels, or climbing plant supports into your pergola design. You get shade and seclusion without sacrificing the ocean breezes that make outdoor living here so appealing.
Yes, Miami Beach requires a Zoning Improvement Permit (ZIP) for pergola installations, even if a full building permit isn’t needed. The permitting process ensures your pergola meets setback requirements, height restrictions, and structural standards.
We handle the entire permit application process for you. This includes preparing the required drawings, submitting applications to the appropriate departments, and coordinating any plan review meetings. Most pergola permits in Miami Beach are approved within 2-3 weeks when properly submitted.
Don’t risk building without permits. Miami Beach actively enforces building codes, and unpermitted structures can result in fines and forced removal. We ensure everything is done correctly from the start.
Aluminum is by far the best material for pergolas in Miami Beach’s coastal environment. Unlike wood, aluminum won’t rot, warp, or deteriorate from salt air exposure. It requires virtually no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning.
We use powder-coated aluminum that’s specifically rated for coastal applications. This coating system resists corrosion, fading, and chalking even with constant salt air exposure. The initial investment pays off through decades of worry-free performance.
Wood pergolas might look appealing initially, but they require constant staining, sealing, and eventual board replacement in this climate. The ongoing maintenance costs and hassle make aluminum the clear choice for Miami Beach installations.
Pergola installation costs in Miami Beach typically range from $15,000 to $35,000 for most residential projects, depending on size, complexity, and features. This includes design, permits, materials, installation, and all required inspections.
The investment pays off through increased property value, enhanced outdoor living, and years of maintenance-free performance. Miami Beach’s competitive real estate market particularly rewards well-designed outdoor spaces.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. No hidden fees, no surprise charges during construction. You’ll know exactly what you’re investing before we start work.
Yes, when properly engineered and installed. All our Miami Beach pergola installations are designed to meet Miami-Dade County’s wind load requirements, which account for hurricane-force winds up to 180 mph.
This requires specific foundation systems, structural connections, and aluminum sizing that exceeds normal construction standards. We don’t cut corners on structural engineering – your safety and your investment depend on it.
The engineering calculations and structural details are included in our permit applications and reviewed by Miami Beach’s building department. Once approved and installed, your pergola will have the same wind resistance as your home’s structure.
The complete process typically takes 4-6 weeks from contract signing to final completion. This includes 2-3 weeks for permit approval, 1-2 weeks for material ordering and delivery, and 2-3 days for actual installation.
We can often accelerate the timeline by submitting permit applications while finalizing design details. Miami Beach’s building department is generally efficient, but we always plan for potential review cycles.
Installation itself moves quickly once we start. Most residential pergolas are substantially complete in 2 days, with a third day for final details and cleanup. We schedule required inspections promptly to avoid delays in your completion timeline.
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Our aluminum structures carry a 15-year manufacturer warranty against defects, corrosion, and structural failure.
Our installation workmanship is warranted for 5 years, covering any issues with foundation work, structural connections, or assembly problems. This gives you complete peace of mind on your investment.
We also provide ongoing support for any questions or minor adjustments needed after installation. You’re not just buying a pergola – you’re getting a long-term relationship with a company that stands behind its work.
