Pergolas & Outdoor Structures in North Carolina
Shade, cover, and definition for the pool and patio area.
Pergolas, pavilions, and louvered roof systems make the deck usable on hot summer afternoons and through light rain. Craft Master builds cedar, aluminum, and steel structures sized to the pool deck, anchored to engineered footings, and integrated with lighting, fans, and screens.
Pergolas and pavilions range from a freestanding shade structure over a corner of the deck to a full attached pavilion covering the outdoor kitchen and dining area. Louvered roof systems, screen packages, lighting, and fans are all sized and wired during construction.
Cedar weathers to a silvery gray if left unfinished, or holds color with a UV-protective stain. Aluminum frames carry long manufacturer warranties and shrug off NC humidity.
Footings are dug, poured, and inspected before any framing goes up. Cedar and steel are pre-finished or shop-painted before assembly to avoid lap marks on site. Every project is permitted through the appropriate local jurisdiction, and we manage submission, plan review, and inspection scheduling as part of the build.
Why Homeowners Choose Craft Master for Pergolas
Cedar, Aluminum, Steel
Cedar for traditional warmth, powder-coated aluminum for low maintenance, structural steel for large clear spans.
Louvered Roof Systems
Adjustable louvers give full control — open for sun, closed for rain. Integrated rain sensors close automatically.
Fixed Pergolas & Pavilions
Slatted or solid roofs with traditional craftsmanship — sized to the deck and oriented for the right shade angle.
Integrated Fans & Lighting
Ceiling fans, downlights, and zone-controlled string lighting are wired into the structure, not surface-run after the fact.
Retractable Screens
Side and end screens close off the pergola in the evening — bugs out, breeze in, view preserved.
Engineered Footings
Concrete footings sized to NC soils and wind loads, not stake-driven brackets. The structure stays plumb decades from now.
