Pergolas, Covers & Decks in Wilmington, NC

Shade, shelter and a deck to match — so your new patio is usable in July sun and summer rain.

A patio becomes an outdoor room when it has shade. We build open-beam pergolas, solid-roof patio covers and composite decks that tie into the concrete we pour — one crew, one schedule, one warranty conversation.

Everything sits on poured concrete footings sized for coastal wind, with stainless or coated hardware that holds up to salt air. Composite decking with matching skirting and vinyl or aluminum railing means no sanding, staining or splinters.

Typical price range $35–$65 / sq ft · Lifespan: 25+ years (composite) Composite decks; pergolas and covers quoted per design.
