Custom Pergolas for Lasting Backyard Shade

At Guildcraft Exteriors, we design and build custom pergolas that make your outdoor space more comfortable, more useful, and more attractive. If your backyard feels too plain, too hot in the summer, or not set up for relaxing or hosting, a pergola can change that. We build pergolas for homeowners in Eugene who want a shaded retreat, a better patio experience, or a defined outdoor living area that feels like a true extension of the home.

Our pergola services include both design and installation. We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. We look at your home’s layout, your yard, sun exposure, drainage, and how you want to use the space. Some homeowners want a simple structure over a patio for light shade. Others want a larger custom pergola for outdoor dining, entertaining, or creating a focal point in the backyard. We tailor the design to fit your goals, your style, and your property.

What a Custom Pergola Can Do for Your Home

A well-built pergola adds more than looks. It helps define an outdoor room, creates partial shade, and improves the way you use your yard. In Oregon, where we get a mix of sun and rain, a pergola can make a patio feel more inviting through more of the year. It can also increase curb appeal and add value to your home by making the exterior feel more finished and intentional.

Many of our clients want a pergola to create a backyard gathering space. Others want a quiet place to sit, read, or enjoy time with family. We can build pergolas over patios, near gardens, beside pools, or as stand-alone landscape features. The end result is an outdoor structure that adds character while supporting daily use.

Our Pergola Design and Installation Process

We start with a conversation about your space and your goals. We want to know how you plan to use the pergola, what style you like, and what kind of features matter most to you. From there, we help shape the project around the size of the area, the architectural style of your home, and the level of shade or openness you want.

During the design phase, we consider important details like:

• Overall pergola size and placement
• Attached or freestanding pergola options
• Post spacing and beam layout
• Height, proportions, and roofline appearance
• Sun direction and shade needs
• Integration with an existing patio or new patio installation
• Material selection for strength, appearance, and longevity
• Finish details that keep clean lines and a polished look

Once the design is finalized, our team handles the installation with care and precision. We focus on solid construction, proper anchoring, and durable materials so your pergola is built to last. As with all of our exterior remodeling work, we pay close attention to craftsmanship, clean execution, and long-term performance.

Pergola Options We Offer

Every property is different, so we offer custom pergola solutions instead of cookie-cutter builds. Depending on your space and goals, we can create a pergola that works as a decorative garden feature or as a functional outdoor living structure. Common pergola options include:

• Freestanding pergolas for open backyard spaces
• Attached pergolas connected to the home
• Pergolas built over patios or seating areas
• Outdoor dining pergolas
• Garden pergolas and walkway accents
• Pergolas designed to support climbing plants
• Shade structures for entertaining areas
• Custom patio and pergola combinations

If you are also planning a patio project, we can help create a complete outdoor living setup that feels cohesive and practical. Combining a pergola with a patio can help turn an unused area into one of the most enjoyable parts of your property.
