Awnings, Pergolas, and More
Custom Overhead Structures for your Outside Spaces
Adding a custom overhead structure instantly transforms your deck or patio into a comfortable, all-weather extension of your home. These installations do more than provide shade; they protect your outdoor furniture, help reduce solar heat gain inside your home (lowering cooling costs), and beautifully define your outdoor living areas. Whether you need a sheltered dining space or a dedicated greenhouse, we provide expert design, construction, and prompt repair services for all structures, ensuring they are durable enough to handle the weather year after year.

I specialize in building durable, high-quality structures that perfectly complement your home's style and maximize your outdoor enjoyment. Every installation is built to withstand New Jersey weather, ensuring long-lasting performance and beauty.

Let's discuss the ideal structure for your outdoor needs today.
Awnings and Pergolas
These structures are essential for managing sunlight and controlling the temperature on your patio or deck.
- Custom Pergolas: I build beautiful, free-standing or attached pergolas using quality lumber or low-maintenance vinyl/composite materials. A pergola adds defined architectural space while offering filtered shade and a perfect frame for climbing plants.
- Retractable and Fixed Awnings: Installation of modern, durable awnings that provide immediate protection from sun and rain. Choose from fixed structures for permanent shade or retractable models for flexible, on-demand coverage.
Gazebos and Pavilions
For those seeking a more substantial, dedicated outdoor room, a gazebo or pavilion offers a complete sheltered experience.
- Gazebo Construction: Designing and building custom gazebos that create an elegant focal point in your yard, ideal for entertaining, dining, or quiet relaxation. I handle all stages, from foundational work to roofing.
- Outdoor Kitchen Shelters: Construction of robust pavilions specifically designed to shelter outdoor kitchens and built-in grills, allowing you to cook and dine outdoors regardless of the weather.
Custom Greenhouses
For the dedicated gardener, a custom-built greenhouse offers year-round growing capabilities right in your backyard.
- Design & Installation: Building functional, durable greenhouses designed to meet your specific needs for light, ventilation, and space.
- Material Selection: Guidance on choosing the right framing and glazing materials to ensure optimal temperature and humidity control for your plants.

Even the most robust structures require care. We offer professional repair services to ensure your existing awning, pergola, or gazebo remains safe and structurally sound for years to come.
