Pergolas in Houma, LA
A pergola gives a Houma backyard something a solid roof can't: shade with the sky still overhead. We build ours from oversized, heavy timber — freestanding over a patio or tied into the back of the house — with rafter and slat spacing set around how your yard actually faces the sun, from a light dapple to deep afternoon shade.
Houma Pergolas Built For Louisiana
A pergola gives a Houma backyard something a solid roof can't: shade with the sky still overhead. We build ours from oversized, heavy timber — freestanding over a patio or tied into the back of the house — with rafter and slat spacing set around how your yard actually faces the sun, from a light dapple to deep afternoon shade.
The bayou region's humidity is exactly why we don't build lightweight kit pergolas. Undersized lumber twists and sags after a couple of wet summers; our beams are dimensioned to stay straight, our post bases are elevated to keep the timber dry, and every structure gets a stain or paint finish that seals the wood against moisture and UV. We build them throughout Houma and nearby Thibodaux.
Why Houma Homeowners Choose Us
Timber that shrugs off wet summers
Oversized beams, quality lumber, and elevated post bases are how a wood structure stays true through year after year of Houma humidity instead of warping by season three.
Shade tuned to your actual yard
We orient the rafters and set the slat spacing based on your patio's sun exposure, so the pergola delivers the light level you want at the hours you're actually outside.
Custom details, sealed finishes
Custom rafter end cuts, concealed hardware, and a stain or paint finish matched to your exterior — sealed properly so the wood is protected from day one.
Every Houma Pergolas Project Includes
- Custom dimensions — freestanding or tied into your home
- Heavy-timber beams that won't warp or sag
- Custom rafter end cuts, modern or traditional
- Slat spacing tuned to your preferred shade level
- Elevated post bases plus stain or paint finishes
