Pergolas & Covered Patios

Your backyard has no shade. By mid-morning the patio is baking, and there's nowhere to sit outside comfortably from May through September. You want to be outdoors — but the sun and rain won't let you.

A pergola or covered patio creates a shaded outdoor room without closing off the space. We build freestanding and attached pergolas in wood and vinyl, as well as solid-roof patio covers that provide full rain protection. Every structure is engineered for your yard's layout and tied into your deck or patio so it feels like part of the home — not an afterthought.

Outdoor Kitchens & Grilling Areas

You're tired of hauling plates and coolers back and forth through the house every time you grill. The setup is awkward, there's no counter space, and hosting outside feels like more work than eating inside.

An outdoor kitchen puts everything where you need it. We build custom framing for built-in grills, countertops, storage and sinks — designed around how you actually cook and entertain. Whether it's a simple grilling station on your deck or a full outdoor kitchen under a covered patio, we handle the structural build so your appliance installer has a solid, weather-ready frame to work with.

Fire Pits & Full Backyard Builds

Your backyard is just grass. There's no reason for anyone to go out there after dark, no gathering spot, and no sense that the space was designed for anything. You want the whole thing done — not just one piece at a time.

A fire pit creates a natural gathering point that extends your outdoor season well into fall and winter. We build wood-burning and gas-ready fire pit structures in stone, block, and steel — integrated into your patio, deck, or yard layout. And if you're ready to do the whole backyard at once — fire pit, pergola, kitchen, deck, fence — we plan and build the full scope together. One crew, one timeline, one vision.

Our outdoor living space building process

Enjoy
Final walkthrough, cleanup, and handoff. Your new outdoor living space is ready for its first cookout, first fire, or first quiet evening under the pergola.

Don't Take Our word for it...

Every project we complete starts with a story: a family wanting more time outside, a homeowner finally bringing their vision to life, or a property that needed a functional upgrade with lasting value.

Our reviews showcase clients across Helena, Alabaster, and Pelham speaking for themselves. From outdoor kitchens and pergolas to full backyard builds with decks, fences, and fire pits, these are the projects our customers are proud to show off.

We believe the best measure of our work isn't what we say — it's the families gathered around the fire pit on a Friday night.

Common Questions About Outdoor Living Spaces in Helena, AL

It depends on scope. A standalone pergola or fire pit might take 1–2 weeks. A full outdoor kitchen or multi-structure backyard build can take 3–6 weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline during your consultation.

It depends on the structure and your location. Covered structures and anything with gas or electrical typically require permits in Helena and Shelby County. We handle the full permit process.

In many cases, yes — if the deck is structurally sound enough to support the added weight. We'll inspect your deck's framing and footings during the consultation and reinforce if needed.

We build the structural frame, countertops, and weatherproof enclosures. For gas lines and appliance hookups, we coordinate with licensed plumbers and electricians to make sure everything is installed to code.
