Why Aluminum Pergolas Work Best in South Florida

Wood pergolas struggle in Miami. Humidity, salt air, termites and daily sun break them down in a few years. Aluminum doesn’t rust, rot or attract insects, and it keeps its finish with little more than a rinse.

• Hurricane strength: aluminum frames can be engineered and anchored to meet Miami-Dade’s high wind-load requirements.
• Low maintenance: no sanding, staining or sealing. A powder-coated finish resists fading in the Florida sun.
• Real shade: cut the heat on your patio or pool deck and use your outdoor space year-round.
• Adds value: a permitted, well-built pergola extends your living space and makes your home more attractive to buyers.
• Works with screens: we can combine your pergola with a screen enclosure for shade and bug protection in one project.

Pergola Styles We Install

Modern Aluminum Pergolas

Clean lines and slim profiles for contemporary homes. Choose open slats for filtered light or tighter spacing for more shade. See more in our modern pergola gallery.

Alumawood Pergolas

The warm look of wood with the strength of aluminum. Alumawood resists termites and rot and comes in several wood-tone and solid colors.

Solid Aluminum Patio Roofs (Patio Covers)

Full coverage from sun and rain. Ideal for outdoor kitchens, dining areas and covered entries. Insulated panels keep the space cooler.

Freestanding or Attached

We build pergolas attached to your house or freestanding over a pool deck, garden or seating area.

Popular add-ons: LED lighting, ceiling fans, privacy panels and screen walls. Ask us about colors and options for your project.

How Much Does an Aluminum Pergola Cost in Miami?

Every pergola we build is custom, so the price depends on a few key factors:

• Size: larger footprints need more material and stronger posts and footings.
• Style: open-slat pergolas cost less than solid or insulated patio roofs.
• Attached vs. freestanding: freestanding units need extra posts and footings.
• Engineering and permits: Miami-Dade requires signed engineering for most pergolas.
• Add-ons: lighting, fans, screen walls and custom colors.

Miami-Dade is part of Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), with some of the strictest building rules in the country. Most pergolas and patio roofs need a building permit, signed engineering and proper footings before they can be built.

We take care of it for you:

2. Engineered drawings sized for your location’s wind load
3. Permit application with your city or Miami-Dade County
