Durable, Code‑Smart Pergola Repairs That Protect Your Home and Outdoor Living
Homeowners call us when a pergola becomes unsafe, leaks, or simply looks tired. Hiring professionals is the smartest way to stop damage, protect your family, and restore curb appeal - without surprise costs. Our team delivers precise diagnosis, clean workmanship, and lasting fixes for Pergola Repair Houston TX, including wood, aluminum, and louvered systems. Here’s what you gain when you choose us:
Safety & Risk Elimination
A leaning structure or rotted post can fail suddenly. We stabilize first - bracing, shoring, and securing hazardous sections - then correct the root cause. Typical fixes include re‑anchoring to slabs with wedge/adhesive anchors, post base replacement with elevated brackets, and footing rebuilds with reinforced concrete to resist uplift and racking.
We follow OSHA jobsite safety, call Texas 811 before digging, and repair to current Houston code with ASCE 7 wind considerations. The result: reduced liability, stronger connections, and peace of mind during storm season.
Professional Results & Quality
You’ll see the difference in the details. We match cedar or pressure‑treated pine, perform epoxy consolidation and dutchman repairs where appropriate, and upgrade to Simpson Strong‑Tie brackets with galvanized or stainless fasteners for longevity in humid conditions. For attached pergolas, we correct flashing/ledger issues to stop water intrusion.
Covered pergolas benefit from precision leak repairs using new flashing, Polygal polycarbonate panels, and sealed fasteners. Shade systems get fresh Sunbrella canopies or tension shade cloth. The finish: sanding, staining, and sealing with brands like Behr or SuperDeck for a uniform, refined look.
Time & Stress Savings
We diagnose issues quickly using moisture meters, a borescope for hidden rot, and laser levels for accurate re‑leveling. You won’t need multiple contractors - our team coordinates licensed electrical work for louvered pergola actuator or motor replacement and handles HOA submittals and City of Houston permits when required.
Need help fast after a storm? We offer same‑day stabilization in many neighborhoods so you can protect your home while we plan the permanent repair.
Cost‑Effective Solution
Repair beats replace when the structure is sound. We prevent recurring problems - such as footings that settle or bolts that corrode - so you avoid repeat bills. Typical savings come from beam splicing with steel plates, rafter sistering, and targeted post replacements instead of full teardown.
A fresh stain/seal extends wood life by years, and proactive hardware upgrades reduce future maintenance. You’ll get a line‑item estimate, clear options, and our advice on when repair vs. rebuild makes financial sense.
Peace of Mind & Warranty
Your project is backed by proper insurance, documented scope, and a written workmanship warranty. We’re BBB Accredited and adhere to NEC 2020 for any electrical scope, performed by licensed electricians when required.
From emergency tarping and temporary bracing to final inspection, we stay accountable. Expect professional communication, tidy job sites, and a result we’ll stand behind long after we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to repair or modify my pergola in Houston?
Minor like-for-like repairs often proceed without a permit, but structural changes - new posts or footings, attaching to the home, or electrical for louvered systems - may require a City of Houston Single‑Family Outdoor Improvement permit. We advise on your specific scope, handle plan review and inspections when needed, and coordinate any floodplain considerations under Chapter 19. If utilities are involved for new footings, we call Texas 811 before digging.
How much does pergola repair cost in Houston?
Costs vary by scope. Typical ranges: re‑staining/sealing $6–$10/sq ft, single post/base replacement $750–$1,500, beam repairs $900–$2,500, polycarbonate leak fixes $650–$1,400, and motorized louver diagnostics/repairs typically $450–$1,800 plus parts. After an on‑site assessment, we provide a fixed, line‑item estimate and options. We’ll also advise when repair vs. rebuild delivers better long‑term value.
Can you fix a leaning or sinking pergola without rebuilding?
Often, yes. We stabilize the structure, evaluate footings with levels and a borescope where needed, and correct the cause. Solutions include re‑anchoring to the slab with wedge/adhesive anchors, replacing failed footings, and re‑leveling/shimming the frame. If posts are compromised by rot or termites, we replace them with elevated brackets to prevent future moisture contact and restore alignment.
Do you repair both wood and aluminum/louvered pergolas?
We service cedar, pressure‑treated pine, aluminum, and Alumawood, plus motorized louvered systems from brands like StruXure and Equinox. For louver issues, we handle actuator/motor replacement and coordinate licensed electrical work per NEC 2020. We also replace shade cloth, Sunbrella canopies, and Polygal panels for covered designs.
Can you replace rotted posts and match my existing stain/paint?
Absolutely. We remove the damaged post, pour or reset the footing as needed, and install a new post on an elevated base to reduce future rot. We then sand and finish to match with quality products like Behr or SuperDeck. When lumber species is unique, we source cedar or redwood to keep the grain and color consistent.
Do you handle HOA paperwork and City of Houston permits?
Yes. We prepare HOA submittals with drawings, specs, and color samples, and we manage city permits when your scope requires them. Our team understands residential plan review, inspections, and local wind considerations, so your project moves efficiently without surprises.
How long does a typical pergola repair take?
Most repairs are completed in 1–3 days. Single‑component fixes, like a motor swap or hardware upgrade, can be same‑day. Larger scopes - multiple post replacements, beam work, or full refinish - may take 3–5 days depending on drying times for stain/sealer and weather. You’ll receive a clear schedule before we start.
Do repairs include a workmanship warranty?
Yes. We provide a written workmanship warranty for completed repairs, with coverage length based on scope and materials. Manufacturer warranties apply to items like louvered motors, Polygal panels, and Sunbrella canopies. We review all coverage in writing before work begins.
Can you stop leaks on covered/polycarbonate pergolas?
We locate the source, replace damaged Polygal panels if needed, add proper flashing at transitions, and seal fasteners with compatible gaskets. For attached pergolas, correcting ledger/flashing details is often the key. Our goal is a watertight assembly that still allows light while resisting Houston’s heavy rains.
Do you offer emergency storm‑damage bracing or tarping?
Yes. We provide urgent stabilization, bracing, and tarping to protect your home and outdoor space after wind or hail events. We also document damage, assist with insurance claims when requested, and schedule permanent repairs as materials become available.
