Our Pergolas Make Outdoor Spaces Feel More Inviting
As you plan a design for your backyard, pay special attention to giving the space visual interest. While functional improvements are certainly important, you also want your outdoor environment to have a unique aesthetic that beckons people to spend time there. For many homeowners, a pergola installed by Express Sunrooms proves to be the perfect backyard addition. We can build our pergolas over patios, gardens, and virtually any other outdoor settings, where they will not only enhance the appearance of the space, but also provide partial shade over the covered area for added comfort.
Plan the Ideal Pergola Design
Given the major role that your new pergola will play in determining the aesthetic of your backyard retreat, you deserve to have lots of options as you decide what type of pergola would look best there. Our pergolas come in a diverse variety of sizes, shapes, styles, and colors, ensuring that you can plan a design you absolutely love.
Benefit from Reliable Durability
When you add a pergola to your outdoor space, you want it to hold up well through the years without much upkeep required. And that’s exactly what you’ll get from Express Sunrooms. Our aluminum pergolas are fully weather resistant, meaning that they can withstand years of exposure to rain, sun, wind, and other weather conditions without cracking, warping, or splitting. What’s more, they never need to be painted and are essentially maintenance free, enabling you to instead spend your free time on more enjoyable activities, such as relaxing in your backyard oasis.
Gain Complete Control Over Your Outdoor Space with an Adjustable Patio Cover
If you like the look of a latticed pergola but also want to hang out in complete shade from time to time, then you may want to consider having one of our adjustable patio covers installed. They look similar to a pergola but give you the option to open or close the roof slats with just the press of a button. Whether you want to bask in the sun or cool off in the shade, the choice is entirely up to you!

FAQs
What is a pergola?
A pergola is an outdoor structure with an open roof design that allows sunlight to come through while still providing some shade. Pergolas are a great way to define an outdoor living space and can be made from materials such as wood or composite.
What are the benefits of a composite pergola versus wood?
One of the biggest benefits of a composite pergola is that it requires little to no maintenance. Wood pergolas typically require more upkeep over time, including sanding, painting, and sealing to help protect against normal wear and exposure to the elements.
Can a pergola be freestanding?
Yes! Pergolas can be freestanding or attached to your home. Freestanding pergolas typically require additional engineering and support, while attached pergolas can often use the home as part of the structure. The exact design and number of posts needed will depend on the size, span, and engineering requirements of your project.
Will a pergola limit the natural light coming into my home?
A pergola may reduce some of the sunlight coming through nearby windows, but the impact is typically minimal. The amount of light affected will depend on the pergola’s design and placement, as well as the position of the sun throughout the day and different seasons.
What is the difference between a pergola, cabana, and patio cover?
The biggest difference is the design and amount of coverage each provides. A pergola typically has an open roof design that allows sunlight through while providing some shade. A cabana offers more coverage and creates a defined outdoor living space, while a patio cover typically features a solid roof for consistent shade and protection from the elements. Express Sunrooms can design and build pergolas, cabanas, and patio covers, helping you choose the option that best fits your home, backyard, and how you want to use the space.
