Pergola Builders in Colleyville, TX
The Texas sun makes a bare patio hard to use. A pergola fixes that. We build custom pergolas and arbors across Colleyville and the DFW area. You get shade over your patio. Room for a fan or some string lights. And an outdoor room you'll actually use. Licensed and insured.

Patio too hot to use?
By noon in July, a bare patio bakes. The sun sits straight overhead, and there's no shade. So nobody goes out there. A pergola changes that. It throws shade over the space and gives the patio a reason to exist. Add a fan or a climbing vine, and it stays cool enough to enjoy.
What we build
Shade comes in more shapes than people expect:
Freestanding pergolas. A shaded structure anywhere in the yard.
Attached pergolas. Tied to the house, right off the back door.
Arbors. Smaller structures for an entry, a path, or a garden spot.
Patio covers.Open or louvered shade over a new or existing patio. Want a solid roof tied into the house instead? That's a covered porch — see porch & patios.
Shade tops. Open rafters, tight slats, or a louvered roof you can adjust.
Built-ins. Wiring for lights and a fan, plus support for climbing plants.
We build in cedar, treated wood, aluminum, or low-maintenance composite. We'll match the material to your house and to how much upkeep you want.
What you get
Shade lands right where the afternoon sun used to win. That alone decides whether the patio gets used.
The slab turns into an outdoor room, with edges and a ceiling instead of open sky.
String lights, a ceiling fan, a climbing vine. The pergola carries the wiring and the weight.
Posts anchored in concrete footings, so Texas wind doesn't move it.

Pergolas built for North Texas
Our summers are long and the sun is strong. So we put the shade where you need it most. And we pick materials that hold up to the heat. Texas wind matters too. We anchor the posts in concrete footings so the pergola stays put. Our clay soil shifts when it's wet, so a solid base isn't optional. Many neighborhoods need HOA approval for a structure like this. We've done that paperwork plenty of times and can help with yours.

Size and job, mostly. A pergola is a larger structure that shades a patio or a seating area. An arbor is smaller. It often marks an entry, a path, or a garden spot. We build both.
Yes, and you pick how much. Open rafters give you light, dappled shade. Tight slats give you more. A louvered roof lets you adjust it, or close it against the rain. We help you choose for how you'll use the space.
It depends on the look you want and how much upkeep you'll do. Cedar and treated wood look classic and cost less up front. Aluminum and composite cost more but barely need care. We'll lay the trade-offs out side by side.
Often, yes. Many North Texas neighborhoods require it for a structure like this. We've handled that process plenty of times and can help with the paperwork.
Yes. An attached pergola ties into the house, right off a door or window. A freestanding one stands on its own anywhere in the yard. We build both, and we'll suggest what fits your space.
