You know that south-facing patio that’s too hot to enjoy? The deck where guests can’t stay comfortable during summer gatherings? That changes with a custom pergola.
Your new outdoor room gives you perfect shade while keeping the ocean breeze flowing. No more squinting in harsh sunlight or watching guests retreat indoors during parties. Instead, you get a space that works from morning coffee to evening cocktails.
The right pergola doesn’t just add shade—it creates the outdoor living space you’ve been missing. Suddenly your patio becomes the place everyone wants to gather.
We’ve been creating outdoor spaces for Long Island homeowners since 2006. We understand what works in coastal communities like Lido Beach—materials that handle salt air, structures that stand up to nor’easters, and designs that complement your home’s style.
Our founders, Bobby Bruno and Sherwood Adams, built this company on the idea that every project deserves an owner’s attention. That’s why you’ll find one of us on-site, making sure your pergola is built right the first time.
We’re fully licensed, insured, and bonded. More importantly, we’re your neighbors who understand that your outdoor space should work as hard as you do.
We start with your space and your vision. During our initial consultation, we measure your area and discuss how you want to use your new outdoor room—entertaining, relaxing, dining, or all three.
Next comes the design phase. We’ll show you material options, from traditional wood to low-maintenance vinyl, and explain what works best for your specific location and needs. Every pergola is custom-built to fit your exact space and complement your home’s architecture.
Installation typically takes 2-4 days, depending on size and complexity. We handle all permits and ensure everything meets local building codes. When we’re finished, you’ll have a structure that’s built to last decades, not seasons.

Living near the water means your outdoor structures face unique challenges. Salt air, high winds, and intense summer sun can destroy inferior materials in just a few years.
Our pergolas use premium materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s coastal environment. Pressure-treated lumber, marine-grade hardware, and weather-resistant finishes ensure your investment lasts. We also offer vinyl options that never need painting or staining—perfect for busy Lido Beach homeowners.
Every pergola can be customized with your choice of roofing options, from traditional lattice tops to louvered systems that give you complete control over sun and shade. Add-ons like retractable canopies, integrated lighting, and privacy screens let you create exactly the outdoor experience you want.
Wood pergolas offer that classic, natural look that many homeowners love. We use premium pressure-treated lumber that can be stained or painted to match your home. Wood gives you complete customization in terms of color and finish.
Vinyl pergolas, on the other hand, are virtually maintenance-free. They won’t rot, warp, or require repainting—ever. In Lido Beach’s salt air environment, this can be a huge advantage. Vinyl also tends to stay cooler to the touch during hot summer days.
Both materials are engineered to handle Long Island weather, including high winds and heavy snow loads. Your choice usually comes down to aesthetics and how much maintenance you want to deal with long-term.
Absolutely. Most of our Lido Beach pergola projects involve enhancing existing outdoor spaces. We can attach pergolas directly to your house or build freestanding structures over your current patio or deck.
The key is proper engineering and foundation work. We’ll assess your existing structure to ensure it can handle the additional load, especially important given Long Island’s wind conditions. Sometimes we need to add footings or reinforce existing foundations.
We also make sure the new pergola integrates seamlessly with your current outdoor space. This might mean matching deck stain colors, working around existing features like outdoor kitchens, or designing around mature landscaping you want to keep.
Our pergolas are specifically engineered for Long Island’s weather extremes. We use materials and construction methods that meet or exceed local building codes for wind and snow loads.
The key is proper installation and quality materials. Our footings go deep enough to handle frost heave, and we use galvanized or stainless steel hardware that won’t corrode in salt air. The structures are designed to flex slightly in high winds rather than break.
For winter, we recommend removing any fabric canopies or retractable elements to prevent damage from ice and snow accumulation. The pergola structure itself is built to handle heavy snow loads without issue. Many of our customers enjoy their pergolas year-round, even adding outdoor heaters for winter entertaining.
Most pergola installations in Lido Beach require building permits, especially if they’re attached to your house or over a certain size. The good news is we handle all the permit paperwork for you.
We’re familiar with Nassau County building requirements and the specific codes that apply in coastal areas like Lido Beach. This includes setback requirements, height restrictions, and structural specifications for wind loads.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, and we don’t start construction until we have all approvals in hand. This protects you from any issues down the road and ensures your pergola is properly documented for insurance and resale purposes.
Pergola costs vary significantly based on size, materials, and features. A basic 12×12 wood pergola might start around $3,000-$5,000, while larger structures with premium materials and features can run $10,000-$20,000 or more.
Factors that affect price include material choice (wood vs. vinyl), foundation requirements, roofing options (lattice vs. louvered), and add-ons like lighting, fans, or retractable canopies. Attached pergolas are typically less expensive than freestanding structures because they require fewer materials.
We always provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees. We also offer financing options to help make your outdoor living dreams more affordable.
Yes, and we highly recommend planning for these features during the initial design phase. Running electrical during construction is much easier and less expensive than retrofitting later.
Popular additions include recessed LED lighting for evening entertaining, ceiling fans for air circulation, and outlets for outdoor speakers or heating elements. We can also integrate smart controls so you can operate everything from your phone.
For Lido Beach’s coastal environment, we use marine-grade electrical components and ensure everything is properly weatherproofed. All electrical work is done by licensed electricians and inspected to code. The result is an outdoor space you can enjoy from sunrise to well after sunset.
