Pergola Designs That Add
Shade and Style to Your Backyard
For many Gulf Coast homeowners with backyard patios, they get to enjoy their outdoor spaces only when the weather permits—which is not often enough with Florida’s intense sunshine and frequent rainfall. A stylish pergola over your patio or outdoor living space is exactly what you need in your backyard so you can spend time relaxing outside year-round.
At Hometown Contractors, Inc., we specialize in custom pergolas that add shade, style, protection, and value to your home. With your choice of material, type, color, and size, our customized pergolas are designed to enhance your backyard and protect you from the elements. Built to withstand Florida storms, our pergolas are a popular patio upgrade for their durability and our range of selections tailored to fit your needs.
Style Options to Elevate Your Outdoor Living
Attached Pergolas
For homes with pre-existing patios or decks, we recommend a pergola directly connected to your home. Attached pergolas are perfect for creating an outdoor extension of your home with a seamless flow between the interior and exterior. With our customizable options, you’ll be able to transform your patio into a peaceful retreat for relaxation, outdoor dining, and family time.
Free-Standing Pergolas
Any corner of your backyard can become a cozy oasis with a free-standing pergola from Hometown Contractors. A great option for design and placement flexibility, free-standing pergolas can sit near your garden, pool, or just a section of your patio to provide shade and boost the look of your backyard.
Classic (Fixed) Pergolas
An elegant, low-maintenance option for your outdoor space, our classic (fixed) pergola is a more traditional, timeless design that adds the right amount of shade to your backyard patio. In addition to its conventional style, classic pergolas do not require much maintenance besides the usual cleaning of your outdoor living areas—an attractive feature for many homeowners.
Operable Pergolas
Offering more control and flexibility during Florida’s unpredictable weather, operable pergolas are also a popular choice for homeowners along the Gulf Coast. The design of operable pergolas allows you to adjust the amount of shade and protection your outdoor living area receives with a motorized roof that opens and closes.
