Project overview

About this project

This freestanding aluminum pergola creates a shaded lounge at the end of the pool deck, in front of a horizontal wood fence.

The black frame carries a solid white roof with recessed lights and two ceiling fans, so the space works on hot afternoons and in the evening.

Color-changing LED light strips are set into the front posts, adding a glow that reflects across the pool at night.

Freestanding

Sits on the pool deck, independent of the house.

Recessed lights and fans

Comfortable day and night.

LED posts

Color-changing accent lighting.

Low maintenance

Aluminum won't rot, warp or need staining.

How we work

How a project like this comes together

The same five steps run every Quartz job, from the first visit to the final walkthrough. One team designs, permits and builds it.

  1. Site visit

    We measure the patio or yard and talk about shade, lighting and how you use the space.

  2. Design

    Size, post layout, roof style, color and add-ons like lights and fans are chosen.

  3. Permits

    Where the city requires one, we prepare and submit the permit.

  4. Footings and frame

    Posts are anchored to footings or the slab and the frame is set plumb and level.

  5. Roof, electrical and finish

    Roof panels or slats, lights and fans are installed and we walk the finished pergola with you.

Questions & answers

Pergolas: common questions

Planning something similar? These are the questions homeowners ask us most. Anything else, just call.

(650) 749-7436
Do pergolas need a permit?

Many do, depending on size, height and whether it attaches to the house. We check your city's rules and handle the permit when required.

Aluminum or wood pergola?

Aluminum needs very little maintenance and won't rot or warp. Wood has a classic look and needs periodic sealing. We build both.

Can you add lights and fans?

Yes. Recessed lights, accent lighting and ceiling fans can be wired into the pergola roof.

Freestanding or attached?

An attached pergola extends the house; a freestanding one can sit anywhere in the yard, such as next to a pool.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. We measure the space and give you a written estimate.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We hired Quarts Construction to transform our backyard into a covered outdoor living space, and the entire project was completed in just two weeks from start to finish. The result exceeded our expectations. Our goal was to create a space that would be comfortable even on rainy days while remaining bright, open, and airy. Quarts delivered exactly that. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. From Ohad’s initial design recommendations to his hands-on project management throughout the project, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. Every member of the crew worked hard, took pride in their work, and was a pleasure to work with. The finished patio feels like a natural extension of our home and has completely transformed how we use our backyard. We are extremely satisfied with the outcome and would not hesitate to hire Quarts Construction again for future projects. Highly recommended.

Josue K. Google review

My husband and I couldn't be happier with the fantastic job Ohad and his team did on our backyard renovation and pergola project! From start to finish They provided vision, design, and fast installation. I sent several inquiries and scheduled appointments, and to be honest, Quartz Construction did not give the cheapest option. However, I was impressed by the dedication and sincerity Ohad showed me and my husband on our first appointment. He came ready to show us the service they offer. I had a design drawn on a tiny piece of paper of a vision I was looking for my backyard, and he created a "blueprint" based on my vision, providing measurements to make it official. If you're looking for a team that delivers high-quality work and truly cares about their customers, I highly recommend them.
