Why Our Trex Pergola Installation Delivers Shade, Strength, and Worry‑Free Enjoyment

You want reliable shade, clean design, and zero hassles - without guesswork or callbacks. Professional Trex Pergola installation protects your investment, ensures permits and engineering are correct, and integrates options like lighting, fans, and canopies the right way. With us, you get precise layout, secure anchoring, and finishes that hold up in Houston’s humidity and sun.

Safety & Risk Elimination

We mark utilities with Texas 811, verify setbacks and easements, and follow OSHA ladder and fall‑protection practices. Posts are anchored with epoxy‑set bolts (e.g., Sika AnchorFix) into engineered footings or slabs, then torque‑checked to spec. This prevents uplift and racking during summer storms.

For attached units, we use proper ledger detailing, sealant at penetrations, and corrosion isolation to protect your home’s envelope. You avoid leaks, trip hazards, and the liability of DIY mistakes.

Professional Results & Quality

We handle layout, square, and elevation so beams and rafters align perfectly. Our team follows Structureworks/Trex installer guidelines, uses corrosion‑resistant fasteners, and protects powder‑coat surfaces during handling. The result is a crisp, uniform look with tight joinery and hidden connections.

Need a retractable canopy? We tension and align HDPE or Sunbrella fabric so it tracks smoothly and drains correctly. Electrical for LED lighting and fans is integrated to the 2020 NEC by TDLR‑licensed electricians.

Time & Stress Savings

Skip the weeks of planning, tool rentals, and rework. We manage HOA drawings, City of Houston permits, and inspections, then install efficiently with a rotary hammer, impact drivers, and leveling systems for a smooth fit. Most 12'×16' projects install in 1–2 days after site readiness.

You get a single point of contact, clear timelines, and no cleanup headaches - we haul debris and leave your patio ready to enjoy.

Cost‑Effective Solution

A properly engineered pergola lowers lifetime costs. We prevent slab spalling with correct masonry bits, use through‑rod beam connections to limit deflection, and protect finish longevity with ColorLast care and anti‑seize on stainless hardware. That means fewer repairs and better long‑term value.

Considering upgrades? We guide you on where to invest - privacy panels, canopy type, or lighting - so your budget delivers the most comfort and curb appeal.

Peace of Mind & Warranty

We carry general liability insurance and coordinate stamped drawings when required for local wind loads. Manufacturer warranties stay intact because we follow specified fasteners, spans, and clearances.

You’ll receive a written workmanship warranty plus post‑install support for adjustments, cleaning guidance, and warranty service assistance. Enjoy your space with confidence, season after season.

Switching, dimming, and smart controls are planned during design, so conduits are discreet and the canopy remains unobstructed.
