Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a pergola in Orange County?

Most permanent pergolas require one, especially if attached to the home. Requirements vary by city; we confirm yours before quoting and handle the entire process.

How long does installation take from contract to completion?

Typically 4–10 weeks total: 2–6 weeks for permits (city-dependent), then 1–5 days of on-site installation.

Do you install in winter?

Yes — Orange County weather allows year-round installation, and off-peak months often mean faster permit turnaround.
