Custom Pergolas With Roofs in Northeast Ohio
Open pergolas for style, roofed pergolas for real shade and rain protection, built over your deck or patio.
Built by DreamDecksOpen Pergola or Roofed Pergola?
An open pergola adds style, filtered shade, and a frame for lights, plants, and fans. A roofed pergola adds a solid or louvered cover so you can sit outside in rain or strong summer sun.
We build both, attached to the house or freestanding, in wood, aluminum, or low upkeep composite wraps, and we design them together with your deck so everything lines up.
Planning prices start around $4,000 for an attached pergola, with roofed designs costing more depending on size and finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do pergolas need a permit in Ohio?
Many towns require a permit for pergolas, and nearly all require one for roofed structures. We prepare the drawings and handle the permit and inspections.
Can a pergola be added to my existing deck?
Often, yes. We check that the deck framing and footings can carry the added load and reinforce them if needed.
How much does a pergola cost?
An attached pergola starts around $4,000 as a planning price. Roofed and louvered designs cost more. You get an exact written quote after a free visit.
What materials last longest?
Aluminum and composite wrapped pergolas need the least upkeep. Cedar and pressure treated wood look great but need periodic stain or sealer.
Can you add lights and fans?
Yes. We can wire lighting, fans, outlets, and heaters into the pergola.
