We are dedicated to building structures that last, protecting your investment for years to come with a quality you can see and feel.
Enhance Your Lifestyle and Property Value
A well-designed pergola or timber cover does more than just provide shade. It transforms your outdoor area into a valuable, functional living space, creating a destination right in your own backyard. From the sunny high desert of Central Oregon to the temperate climate of the Portland Metro area, a custom overhead structure makes your property more usable, beautiful, and valuable.
Extend Your Outdoor Season
In Oregon, the weather can be unpredictable. A custom-built cover allows you to take full advantage of your outdoor space, regardless of the season. A solid timber cover provides shelter from the frequent light rains in Portland and West Linn, while a thoughtfully designed pergola offers welcome relief from the intense summer sun in Bend and Redmond. Create a comfortable, sheltered space for dining, relaxing, and entertaining, extending the time you can spend enjoying the fresh air.
Define Your Outdoor Space
An outdoor structure adds architectural elegance and creates a distinct “room” within your landscape. A custom timber structure can define specific zones in your backyard, transforming an open patio into an intimate lounge area, a sophisticated outdoor dining room, or a designated cooking space for your outdoor kitchen. This intentional design brings order and purpose to your property, making it feel larger and more organized.
Increase Your Home's Value
A professionally built patio cover or pergola is a highly sought-after feature that adds significant appeal and financial value to your property. Unlike temporary gazebos or DIY kits, a permanent, custom-built structure is seen by potential buyers as a major upgrade and a true extension of the home’s living space. It’s an investment that provides immediate enjoyment and delivers a strong return when it’s time to sell.
Improve Your Home's Aesthetics
Our structures are designed to be a perfect complement to your home’s existing architecture. We craft outdoor living structures that harmonize with your property, whether it’s a rustic heavy timber design that suits the aesthetic of Sunriver and Sisters or a modern, sleek pergola that enhances a contemporary home in Lake Oswego or Happy Valley. We are the pergola builder in Portland, OR, and Bend that specializes in creating a cohesive look.
Custom Pergola & Cover Solutions
We don’t use kits. Every outdoor living structure we build is designed from the ground up to meet your specific needs, aesthetic goals, and the unique character of your property. We believe that a custom approach is the only way to ensure your new structure functions perfectly and looks like it was always meant to be there. Whether you’re in the Portland Metro area or Central Oregon, we are the trusted builder for high-quality, bespoke outdoor structures.
Custom Pergola Design & Installation
Our design process starts with your vision. We collaborate with you to create unique pergolas that provide the perfect balance of sun and shade, built with high-quality materials for longevity and beauty. A custom pergola can feature a traditional open-rafter design for dappled light and climbing plants, or it can incorporate adjustable louvers for versatile sun control. As a specialist in custom pergola design, we consider every detail, from the orientation of your home to the way you plan to use the space, ensuring the final product is both beautiful and highly functional.
Heavy Timber Patio Covers
For robust, year-round protection, our custom timber covers are the ideal solution. We use substantial, high-grade timber like Douglas Fir and Cedar to construct durable and impressive patio covers that stand up to the Oregon elements, from heavy snow loads in Central Oregon to persistent rain in the Willamette Valley. A solid roof provides complete shelter, allowing you to install lighting, ceiling fans, and heaters to create a true all-season outdoor room. If you are looking for custom timber covers in Bend or the surrounding areas, our expertise in heavy timber construction is unmatched.
Integrated Outdoor Living Structures
Our true specialty lies in creating cohesive outdoor environments. Our pergolas and covers can be designed as stunning standalone features or as part of a complete hardscape transformation. We seamlessly integrate these structures with new patios, custom decks, or outdoor firepits to create a unified and inviting atmosphere. Imagine a timber cover extending from your home over a new paver patio, leading to a custom deck that overlooks your yard. This holistic approach ensures all elements work together in harmony.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Pergolas & Timber Covers
What is the difference between a pergola and a timber patio cover?
A pergola typically features an open, slatted or latticed roof designed to provide partial shade and create an ideal structure for supporting climbing plants. It defines a space without completely enclosing it. A timber patio cover, on the other hand, has a solid, fully-covered roof, offering complete protection from sun and rain, making it a true outdoor room. We design and build both based on your specific functional needs and aesthetic preferences.
Do I need a permit for a pergola or patio cover in Oregon?
Permit requirements vary by city, county, and the size of the proposed structure. Generally, smaller, freestanding structures may not require a permit, while larger structures or any cover attached to the house often do. We have extensive experience navigating the local building codes in both the Portland Metro and Central Oregon regions. We will handle the permit assessment and can manage the application process to ensure everything is built safely and to code.
What materials do you recommend for outdoor living structures?
We prioritize high-quality, durable materials that are perfectly suited for the Oregon climate. We often recommend Western Red Cedar and Douglas Fir for their natural beauty and impressive resistance to rot, decay, and insects. During the design phase, we will discuss all material options with you, from different wood species to composite alternatives, to find the perfect fit for your budget and architectural style.
How long does the installation process take?
The construction timeline depends on the project’s complexity, the size of the structure, material availability, and any necessary permitting. A typical custom pergola or cover installation can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to complete. We believe in transparency, so we provide a clear and realistic timeline in our proposal before any work begins.
