Our Pergolas Process

1

Consultation

We visit your Huntsville home to discuss pergola style, size, and placement. We evaluate sight lines, sun exposure patterns, and how the pergola integrates with your existing outdoor space.

2

Custom Design

Our team designs your pergola with precise dimensions, material specifications, and detail options. You see the design in context with your home before we proceed.

3

Material Procurement

We source your chosen materials from quality suppliers. Cedar is kiln-dried and hand-selected. Aluminum components are factory-finished. Everything arrives on-site ready for installation.

4

Installation

Our crews set posts with proper footings, assemble the beam and rafter structure, and complete all detail work. Electrical for lighting or fans is roughed in during framing.

5

Finishing Touches

Final staining or sealing (for wood), electrical trim-out, and cleanup. We walk through the completed pergola and provide maintenance guidance specific to your material choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a pergola cost in Huntsville, Alabama?

Custom pergola projects in the Huntsville area range from $5,000 to $20,000 depending on size, materials, and features.

What is the best pergola material for North Alabama weather?

Each material has advantages. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects but needs periodic sealing. Aluminum is virtually maintenance-free and handles weather extremes well. Pressure-treated pine is the most affordable but requires regular staining. Vinyl is maintenance-free but has limited design flexibility. The Oasis Outdoor Solutions team helps you choose based on your budget, aesthetic, and maintenance preferences.

Do I need a permit for a pergola in Madison County?

Permit requirements vary by municipality. In Huntsville and Madison, pergolas attached to your home or exceeding certain size thresholds typically require a permit. Freestanding pergolas under a certain size may be exempt. Oasis Outdoor Solutions checks local requirements for your specific project and handles all permitting when required.

How long does it take to build a pergola?

Most custom pergola installations are completed in 3-7 days on site, not including the design and permitting phase. Smaller freestanding pergolas can be done in 2-3 days, while larger attached pergolas with electrical and louvered roofs take closer to a week. We schedule your project with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Can a pergola be attached to my house?

Yes. Attached pergolas mount to your home's fascia or wall using a ledger board, similar to how a deck is attached. This creates a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors. Our team ensures proper flashing and waterproofing at the attachment point to protect your home from moisture intrusion.
