The Pergola Builder Austin Homeowners Call for Real, Usable Shade
In Central Texas, a beautiful patio or deck can sit empty from noon to sunset because it’s simply too hot. Big-box pergola kits rarely fit the space, wobble in the wind, or look like an afterthought next to the house. And finding a builder who will design it with you, pull the permit and show up on schedule can feel like its own project.
You deserve an outdoor space you actually use. Sagamore Fence & Deck has been building fences and decks in Central Texas since 2007 (officially incorporated in 2013): nearly 20 years, nearly 10,000 clients and more than 18,000 projects. Because we build decks and fences too, your pergola is designed to tie into your patio, deck and yard, not bolted on later. We’re based in Georgetown and serve Austin and all of Central Texas. Our crews are fully insured, and we handle permits and HOA submittals for you.
We build custom cedar and wood pergolas, powder-coated aluminum pergolas, and Trex Pergola kits, freestanding or attached to the house, on patios, decks and pool areas. See the rest of our outdoor structures, from gazebos to outdoor kitchen spaces.

How a Custom Pergola Project Works With Sagamore
ESTIMATE
Book a free on-site design consult. We look at where the sun hits, how you'll use the space, and whether the pergola should stand alone or attach to the house, deck or patio.
DESIGN
We choose the material, size, post layout and rafter spacing with you, then send a clear written quote. If your city or HOA requires approval, we prepare the paperwork.
CONSTRUCTION
Our insured crew sets the posts and builds the structure, keeping your yard and landscaping clean along the way.
SUPPORT
We walk the finished pergola with you and explain care: when to re-seal a wood pergola, and how to keep an aluminum one looking new.
OUR PRICE MATCH GUARANTEE
Comparing pergola quotes? Check the material, size and post footings side by side. Got a written quote from an established fence or deck company of similar size? We’ll match it, and we can often beat it, on the same materials and scope.
Cedar, Aluminum & Louvered Pergola Options
Cedar & Wood Pergolas
Warm, natural cedar or wood pergolas, stained to match your home or deck, with rafter and slat spacing chosen for the amount of shade you want. They’re a classic look that works with Hill Country stone, farmhouse and modern homes alike.
Aluminum Pergolas & Trex Pergola™
Powder-coated aluminum pergolas that won’t rot, warp or need staining, plus Trex Pergola models such as the all-aluminum Element. Trex covers Trex Pergola with a 25-year limited residential warranty. They’re a clean, modern choice for pool decks and contemporary homes.
Looking for a Louvered Pergola?
We’ll be straight with you: we don’t build aluminum louvered pergolas. If you want what louvers offer, shade you can adjust, we’ll show you alternatives we do build: tighter slat spacing on a wood or aluminum pergola for more shade, and Trex Pergola models with retractable or ShadeFlex canopies that let you open or close the shade.
Pergolas for Decks & Patios
A pergola on a new or existing deck or patio makes it usable on summer afternoons. Building a new deck? We design the deck and pergola together, including Trex decking, so the posts, footings and finishes match.

Sagamore Fence and deck are a wonderful company to work with, I have had a fence built by them and recently a pergola. They are professional, attentive, trustworthy and reliable. I am looking forward to my next project. I Highly recommend them!
Rachel S.
Sagamore installed a deck, screen door and shade arbor for me. This involved significant demo and tying the new deck into existing stone work. I've worked with a dozen contractors in three states and these guys are the best I've ever seen. Total pros- thorough, efficient and perfect. I can't say enough good things about this company!

Denise Riley
We had a pleasure working with the team at Sagamore Fence & Deck. The landing off of our patio was challenging and they were able to bring our exact vision to life – and we are not easy to please. Communication was excellent and any areas of concern were addressed. Thank you for helping us team and we highly recommend Sagamore Fence & Deck!

Pergola FAQs
Do you build louvered pergolas?
No. We don’t build aluminum louvered pergolas. If adjustable shade is what you’re after, we’ll show you options we do build: a wood or aluminum pergola with tighter slat spacing for more shade, or a Trex Pergola with a retractable or ShadeFlex canopy you can open and close.
Cedar or aluminum: which pergola is better in Texas?
Both work well here. Cedar and wood pergolas give a warm, natural look and can be stained to match your home, but they need periodic re-sealing. Aluminum pergolas won’t rot or warp and need very little upkeep, which makes them a good fit for pool areas and modern homes.
Can you add a pergola to my existing deck or patio?
Often, yes. We check the existing deck framing or patio slab first, then design the post layout and footings so the pergola is supported properly. If the existing structure isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you and show you a freestanding option.
Do I need a permit for a pergola?
It depends on your city, the size of the pergola and whether it attaches to the house, and many HOAs also want to approve the design. We check the requirements for your address and handle the permit and HOA paperwork when it’s needed.
How much shade does a pergola provide?
An open pergola gives partial, filtered shade. You get more shade with tighter rafter and slat spacing, slats oriented against the afternoon sun, or a canopy. We’ll design the spacing around where the sun hits your space.
Do you install Trex Pergola?
Yes. We install Trex Pergola, the low-maintenance pergola line, with all-aluminum models, that Trex covers with a 25-year limited residential warranty. We also build custom cedar, wood and aluminum pergolas.
