Pergolas
Pergola builders
Shade that gives the patio shape and a focal point.
Pergolas work best when they do more than add lumber. They should define the patio, create shade where people actually sit, and give the backyard a focal point that feels intentional.

Why people love them
A pergola works best when it turns open hardscape into a real outdoor room.
It creates structure without closing the space in. Pergolas work especially well for homes that already have the patio but still need shade and a stronger gathering spot.
Best for
Backyards that need more definition, visual height, or a better seating zone without building a full cover.
What gets built
Pergolas over patios, freestanding backyard structures, and wood frames that tie into an existing deck area.
Typical result
More shade, better layout, and a backyard that photographs and feels more complete.
Pergolas are one of the fastest ways to make an outdoor space feel upgraded without taking on a full addition or enclosure project.
Featured project
A Herriman pergola turned a plain patio edge into a real place to sit and stay awhile.
Pergolas do their best work when they give the yard shape, shade, and a focal point without making the space feel boxed in.
Location
Herriman patio that already had hardscape but still needed a stronger backyard anchor.
Built here
Wood pergola framing over the patio with posts and beams sized to define the outdoor room.
Why it works so well
The structure added usable shade, visual height, and a destination in the yard while keeping the patio open.
The finished pergola gives the patio shade, structure, and a stronger sense of place.
Another project
This South Jordan pergola gives a wide patio more shade and a stronger focal point.
It is not just decoration. The posts and beams organize the patio, frame the seating zone, and make the backyard feel like it has a destination.
Great fit for
South Jordan, Herriman, and larger patios that need shade and definition without turning into a full covered structure.
Built here
Long-span pergola framing, even post spacing, and a stronger outdoor-room feel built directly over the existing patio.
Why people choose this
Homeowners usually choose pergola work when the patio is already there but the space still needs shade and a more finished look.
The patio gets shade, structure, and a focal point instead of feeling like a wide open slab.

Questions
Common pergola questions
Pergola conversations go faster when the patio shape, shade goal, and desired seating zone are clear from the beginning.
Can a pergola be built over an existing patio?
Yes, many pergola projects start with an existing patio that needs shade, height, and a stronger focal point. The final structure depends on the patio layout and site conditions.
Is a pergola the same as a full patio cover?
No. A pergola usually adds partial shade, structure, and visual definition while keeping the patio open. A full cover is a different style of structure.
Estimate path
Bring patio photos, shade goals, and the area you want to turn into an outdoor room.
A good pergola estimate starts with how the space is used: where people sit, where shade is needed, and how the structure should fit the house and patio.
Have a patio or yard space that needs more shape and shade?
Frame Platinum can look at the layout, the scale of the area, and the style of the house to help you price a pergola that feels like it belongs there.
