Pergola Builders Port St. Lucie

Pergola Builders in Bayshore Heights

Bayshore Heights is an older Port St. Lucie neighborhood with canals, seawalls, and single-story block houses. Shade here is a patio problem next to the water, not a golf-course problem.

Yards in Bayshore Heights

Lots are the original platted size, houses are concrete block, and the backyard is often a short run to a seawall. Carports and later patio covers of mixed quality are common. We do not attach a new pergola to a sagging cover and call it done. If the old cover comes off first, the new frame is designed to the house wall, not to the old posts. Screen rooms that block the slider are the other starting point.

Canal-front sand and a high water table mean footings are specified, not dug until they look deep enough. The seawall is a boundary we stay off. Salt air and humidity are daily, which is the aluminum decision in one sentence. Storms in the wet season are why louvers beat a fabric shade sail that becomes a scoop.

What the visit is usually about

Seawall distance and the condition of the existing cover are what the visit is for. Aluminum pergolas and attached or freestanding are the relevant service pages. Canal Pointe is a different canal neighborhood with its own page.

Waterfront setbacks are a City of Port St. Lucie question and a survey question. Florida Building Code still applies to the frame. An association may or may not be active on a given street in an older plat. If you have deed restrictions, send them. If you do not, we still permit the structure with the city.

Next step: the installation process, the services list, or the estimate form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions we hear about Port St. Lucie pergola projects.

Should an old Bayshore patio cover stay?

Only if it is sound and we are not asking it to carry a new roof. Most of the time the old cover comes off and the new pergola stands on its own posts or a new ledger. We will say which after we see the posts.
