FAQs – Pergolas & Covered Decks in Tampa
What’s the difference between a pergola and a covered deck?
A pergola offers partial shade with open beams or slats, while a covered deck has a solid roof that blocks sun and rain completely.
Do these structures require permits in Tampa?
Yes. We handle all permitting, engineering, and HOA documentation to keep your project compliant and stress-free.
How much does a pergola or cover cost?
Most projects range from $4,000 to $15,000, depending on size, materials, and roof type. We provide transparent, all-in-one quotes.
Can I add a roof to my existing deck?
Absolutely. We can retrofit covers or pergolas onto most well-built decks and inspect your current frame to ensure it meets code.
Do you offer waterproof options?
Yes. We offer insulated roof panels and sealed materials for full protection against sun and rain.
