What We Build

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 Options

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

Quote-Based

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

Quote-Based

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

Quote-Based

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

Quote-Based

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

Standard

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

Quote-Based

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.

Pergola FAQ

Things People Ask Before Building a Pergola

How much does a pergola cost in Miami?
Pergola pricing is quote-based — every project is custom and depends on size, material (aluminum vs. wood), roof style, engineering requirements, site access, and permitting. We provide a free fixed-price written quote at the on-site consultation, with permits, engineering, concrete footings, and installation all included.
Are pergolas hurricane-rated in South Florida?
Yes — every pergola we install is engineered to 175 mph wind-load, the Florida Building Code requirement for South Florida coastal areas. Signed and sealed engineering drawings submitted with every permit. Pergolas we built in 2010 have survived multiple hurricane seasons intact.
Aluminum or wood pergola — which is better for Florida?
For South Florida, aluminum is the more practical choice for most homes. Hurricane-rated, doesn't rot, no staining or sealing required, no warping in humidity, 30+ year lifespan. Wood (typically pressure-treated pine or cedar) has a warmer look but requires re-sealing every 2–3 years. Both can be hurricane-rated when engineered correctly.
Do I need a permit for a pergola in Miami-Dade?
Yes. Any pergola attached to a structure or larger than ~100 sq ft requires a building permit. We handle all permits, HOA submissions, and engineering documentation in-house. Typical permit timeline: 3–6 weeks from submission to approval.
How long does it take to install a pergola?
From the day permits are issued: aluminum pergolas in 3–7 working days, wood pergolas in 7–14 working days. Full timeline including permit approval typically runs 4–8 weeks. Pergolas integrated with new patios run 2–4 weeks total construction time.
Can a pergola be attached to my house?
Yes — attached pergolas are very popular in South Florida. They connect directly to your home's exterior wall or fascia, creating a covered patio extension. We engineer attachment for proper structural load transfer and submit drawings for permit. Freestanding pergolas with their own concrete footings are also available.
What roof options do you offer?
Three main options: (1) Open-slat — traditional pergola with louvered slats for filtered shade. (2) Louvered / motorized — adjustable aluminum louvers that open and close on demand. (3) Solid roof — fully waterproof aluminum or insulated panel for a true covered patio. Optional ceiling fans, downlights, speakers, and integrated electrical with all three.
Can I add lights, fans, or curtains?
Yes. We integrate ceiling fans, recessed downlights, accent lighting, ceiling speakers, retractable curtains, and infrared heaters into pergola designs. All electrical is permitted and run through the structure during installation. Same crew handles structure, electrical, lighting, and audio.
Do you build pergolas with outdoor kitchens?
Yes — one of our most popular combinations. Pergola over outdoor kitchen creates shade and weather protection for cooking and dining year-round. We design and build both as one integrated project: concrete pad, pergola, kitchen counters and appliances, electrical, plumbing, and gas — all by our team.
Do you offer financing on pergolas?
Yes. 0% APR up to 24 months for qualified customers through Wisetack and Wells Fargo. We can show you sample monthly payments based on your project's quoted total. See full financing →
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Concrete Designs LLC is fully licensed and insured in Florida, with general liability and workers' comp on every project. Pergola work also includes signed and sealed engineering drawings from a licensed Florida engineer.
What size pergola should I build?
For a small dining or coffee area: 10x12 to 12x14. For lounge + dining: 14x16 to 16x18. For full entertainment with outdoor kitchen and seating: 16x20 to 20x24. We help you size it at the on-site consultation.
