Service Locations

Yes, in most areas of Washington State, a permit is required for pergola installation—especially if the structure is attached to your home, exceeds a certain height, or includes electrical components. Local permitting rules vary by city and county, so it’s essential to check with your local building department. At Washington Pergola Company, we handle the permit process for you to ensure everything is up to code.

Given Washington’s diverse weather—from rain and snow in the west to dry summers in the east—durability matters. We recommend using weather-resistant materials like cedar, pressure-treated wood, or aluminum with powder-coated finishes. These materials withstand moisture, sun exposure, and temperature changes while requiring less maintenance. Our team will help you choose the best material for your location and style preferences.

The average pergola installation takes between 1 to 3 days, depending on the size, design complexity, and weather conditions. Custom features such as motorized louvers, integrated lighting, or privacy screens may extend the timeline slightly. We always provide a clear schedule during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the process to ensure your project is completed on time.

Absolutely. At Washington Pergola Company, every pergola we build is fully customized. You can choose from attached or free-standing styles, a wide range of materials and colors, and add-ons like shade screens, stone pillars, or integrated planters. We design each structure to complement your home’s architecture and enhance your outdoor living space.
