Does a pergola provide enough shade?

A standard pergola provides 30-50% shade depending on slat spacing. We can add a retractable canopy or solid top for more coverage.

Can you attach a pergola to my existing deck?

Yes, we design and install attached pergolas that tie into your home's structure with proper flashing and support.

Can you fix my pergola in East Texas, or do I need a full replacement?

We assess every pergola honestly. If less than 20% of the structure is damaged, repair is usually the right call. If the damage is more extensive, we'll explain why replacement is more cost-effective. Free inspections in East Texas.

What warranty comes with a pergola from Better Decks?

Our workmanship is guaranteed, and material warranties range from 10 years on pressure-treated wood to 50 years on premium composite. We stand behind every East Texas project and are here for ongoing support.
