Why Our Alumawood Pergola Installation Delivers Shade, Value, and Confidence

We plan the details, build to code, and leave your patio spotless - so you enjoy your outdoor space faster and for years to come.

Safety & Risk Elimination

Your cover must protect people and property - not create risk. We engineer spans for Houston winds using ASCE 7 design criteria and the 2021 Houston Construction Code. Posts, beams, and anchors are sized and fastened per spec, whether we’re pouring new footings or anchoring to an existing slab with engineered bases.

We flash ledgers correctly to prevent leaks, integrate gutters and downspouts to manage stormwater, and seal all penetrations. Our crews follow OSHA jobsite practices, and we bring the right tools - laser levels, hammer drills, wedge anchors, and non-ferrous blades - for precise, safe installations.

Professional Results & Quality

Amerimax Alumawood features embossed aluminum with an Aluma‑Shield Teflon finish that resists chalking and fading. We install Laguna lattice, Newport solid flat‑pan/W‑pan, or insulated foam‑core panels with clean fascia, color‑matched caps, and trims for a seamless look.

Expect tight miter cuts, straight lines, and consistent lattice spacing for the shade percentage you want. We can integrate ceiling fans, recessed lights, and outlets using a TDLR‑licensed electrician - so you get comfort and style built to NEC requirements.

Time & Stress Savings

We handle HOA submittals, city permits, and engineering packets. No learning curve, no permit rejections. Most standard 12x20 builds take 1–3 days on site after approvals, minimizing disruption.

Cost‑Effective Solution

Alumawood outperforms wood on lifecycle cost - no staining, no rot, and minimal maintenance. Proper footings, anchors, and flashing prevent expensive repairs later.

We provide transparent pricing, including options like two‑tone color upgrades, gutters, and lighting - so you only pay for what you need.

Alumawood Pergola Projects Built Right for Houston Homes

We’ve delivered durable, attractive Alumawood structures across the Greater Houston area - Katy, Cypress, Pearland, The Woodlands, and more. Our portfolio spans small patios to large outdoor rooms with kitchens and screens.

Types of Projects We Handle

We build attached and freestanding pergolas, poolside shade structures, carports using Alumawood, and outdoor kitchen covers. Choose Laguna lattice for filtered light, Newport solid flat‑pan/W‑pan for full rain protection, or insulated foam‑core panels for superior heat reduction.

We also do combination designs - lattice plus solid sections - and offer two‑tone color schemes, privacy panels, and motorized screens to extend comfort and control glare.

Our Proven Methods

We start with site layout and square/level verification. Depending on your slab and soil, we excavate and pour concrete footings with rebar or core‑drill existing slabs and set engineered post bases. Ledgers are flashed and fastened per schedule to protect your home.

Panels or lattice are installed with proper slope and integrated gutters, then connected to downspouts. We finish with color‑matched caps and trims. Electrical rough‑ins for fans and recessed lighting are performed by a licensed electrician for a clean, safe finish.

Complex Conditions We’ve Mastered

HOA submittals are handled in-house - design drawings, color samples, and manufacturer data - so approvals come faster with fewer revisions.

Results You Can Expect

Typical timelines: permits/HOA 2–4 weeks, on‑site build 1–3 days for a standard 12x20. Expect cooler patios, protected furniture, and outdoor fans that actually feel good thanks to insulated or solid panels and proper height/placement.

Colors such as Graphite and Spanish Brown pair beautifully with Houston brick and stucco. Your structure will be low‑maintenance - just occasional cleaning - backed by manufacturer and workmanship warranties.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an Alumawood pergola cost in Houston?

Pricing depends on size, design, and options. A typical 12x20 Laguna lattice or Newport solid cover often falls in a mid four‑figure to low five‑figure range, with insulated panels and electrical adding cost. Installed cost per square foot varies by footing requirements, accessories, and permit/HOA fees. We provide a detailed, line‑item quote after a quick site visit, and we offer financing options to make budgeting easier.

Do I need a permit for a pergola or patio cover in Houston?

Most attached patio covers in the City of Houston require a residential permit and inspections. We prepare plans, engineering as needed, and submit through the Houston Permitting Center. In parts of Harris and Galveston counties east of SH‑146, windstorm (TDI/TWIA) compliance may also apply for WPI‑8 certification. We handle all submittals and coordinate inspections so your project passes the first time.

What’s the difference between Laguna lattice, Newport solid, and insulated panels?

Laguna lattice provides filtered shade with customizable spacing for your preferred light level. Newport solid uses flat‑pan or W‑pan panels for full rain protection and strong durability. Insulated foam‑core panels add thermal performance, reducing radiant heat on the patio and allowing for cleaner electrical runs for recessed lighting and ceiling fans.

Can you add recessed lighting, ceiling fans, or outlets?

Yes. We regularly integrate fans, recessed lighting, dimmers, and outlets under Alumawood covers. All electrical work is performed by a TDLR‑licensed electrician to NEC standards, including GFCI/AFCI protection and proper bonding. We also coordinate switch locations, wiring routes, and fixture placement for comfort and airflow.

How long does installation take?

After HOA and permit approvals, most standard projects install in 1–3 days. Complex conditions - such as new concrete footings, roof‑mount fascia attachments, or extensive electrical - can add time. We provide a clear schedule up front and keep you updated throughout the build.

What areas around Houston do you serve?

We serve Greater Houston, including Katy, Cypress, Sugar Land, Pearland, The Woodlands, Spring, Kingwood, Missouri City, Richmond, and Clear Lake. We also work in neighborhoods like Memorial, The Heights, Montrose, Midtown, and Westchase. If you’re nearby, we likely cover your address.

What maintenance is required for Alumawood?

Alumawood is low‑maintenance. Rinse with water and mild soap as needed, clear debris from gutters and downspouts, and avoid abrasive cleaners or aftermarket paint that could affect the finish or warranty. We provide a care guide at completion with recommended cleaning intervals for Houston’s climate.

Is Alumawood worth it compared to cedar?

For many Houston homeowners, yes. Alumawood resists rot, termites, and warping, and the Aluma‑Shield finish reduces fading and chalking. Over time, you avoid staining and replacement boards typical with wood. If you love the wood look, Alumawood’s embossed texture and color options like Graphite and Spanish Brown deliver the aesthetic with far less upkeep.

Do homeowners in Pasadena, Seabrook, and La Porte need WPI‑8?

In designated coastal windstorm areas east of SH‑146, aluminum patio covers often require TDI/TWIA WPI‑8 certification. We’ll verify your address, coordinate engineering if needed, and provide the documentation for your files, lender, and insurer. If WPI‑8 is not required, we still build to local wind load standards.

How soon can I get an estimate and installation date?

We can usually provide a same‑week site visit and a written estimate within 24–48 hours of seeing your space. Once HOA/permit approvals are in, installation is typically scheduled within 1–3 weeks, depending on materials and crew availability.
