A Pergola Turns Your Backyard Into a Year-Round Room
South Florida sun is brutal. Without shade, the patio you spent good money on is unusable from 11am to 4pm half the year. A custom pergola fixes that — and turns your patio, pool deck, or outdoor kitchen into a usable extension of your home all year long.
Concrete Designs LLC designs and installs custom pergolas across Miami-Dade and Broward County. Every pergola we build is engineered to Florida Building Code wind-load standards (typically 175 mph for South Florida coastal areas), anchored to proper concrete footings, and submitted to the city with signed and sealed engineering drawings before construction. We've been doing this for 20+ years — pergolas we built in 2010 are still standing strong through every hurricane season.
What you get: aluminum or wood structure, three roof options (open-slat, motorized louvered, or solid waterproof), optional integrated ceiling fans, downlights, speakers, retractable curtains, infrared heaters — all by one crew, with one contract. Permits, engineering, electrical, and concrete footings included.
Pergola Styles & Roof Options
Pergolas vary by structure type, material, and roof style. Here's a quick guide — we'll match the right combination to your home and budget at your 3D consultation.
1. Aluminum Pergola
Hurricane-rated aluminum frame, powder-coated finish (typically matte black, white, or bronze). Zero maintenance, 30+ year lifespan, no rot, no warping. The most popular pergola material in South Florida.
2. Wood Pergola
Pressure-treated pine, cedar, or premium hardwood. Warmer, more traditional look. Can be stained or sealed in any color. Requires re-sealing every 2–3 years in Florida's climate. Hurricane-engineered when properly designed.
3. Attached Pergola
Connects directly to your home's exterior wall or fascia. Creates a covered patio extension. Engineered for proper structural load transfer. The most space-efficient option for narrow yards.
4. Freestanding Pergola
Stands on its own concrete footings, away from the house. Use anywhere in the yard — over a pool deck, fire pit, or detached entertainment area. Easier to relocate or expand later.
5. Open-Slat Roof
Traditional pergola look. Wood or aluminum slats spaced for filtered shade. Lets some sun through — great for plants. Doesn't block rain.
6. Louvered / Solid Roof
Motorized louvered roof opens and closes on demand for sun or rain control. Solid aluminum or insulated panel roof creates a true waterproof covered patio. Both come with optional integrated lighting and fans.
Every pergola is quote-based. Final price depends on size, material, roof type, site access, engineering, and permitting requirements. Free written quote at consultation, all-inclusive.
