Pergolas, Patio Covers & Outdoor Structures

Expand Your Outdoor Living in Glendale

Pergolas, patio covers, and other outdoor structures give you a place to relax outside without dealing with Arizona's intense sun. They create shade, define outdoor spaces, and add visual appeal to your property. Whether you want a covered patio for entertaining, a pergola for your garden, or a custom structure that fits your unique vision, we can build it.

At BrightSpan Glendale Sunrooms, we design and build outdoor structures that work in Arizona's climate. We use materials that stand up to sun exposure, heat, and wind. Our structures are built to last, not fall apart after a few seasons. You get a functional, attractive addition to your outdoor space that you can actually use.

We handle the entire process from design to installation. You tell us what you want, and we make it happen. We take care of permits, foundation work, and construction. All you have to do is enjoy the finished structure.

Types of Outdoor Structures We Build

We build a variety of outdoor structures to fit different needs and styles. Here are the most popular options:

• Pergolas: Open-roof structures with beams that provide partial shade. Perfect for gardens, walkways, or outdoor dining areas. Can be freestanding or attached to your home.
• Solid patio covers: Fully covered structures that provide complete shade and rain protection. Great for creating an outdoor room that's usable in all weather.
• Lattice patio covers: A hybrid design with partial coverage that allows some light through while providing shade. Offers a balance between open and covered spaces.
• Aluminum patio covers: Durable, low-maintenance covers that resist rust and corrosion. Available in various colors and finishes to match your home.
• Wood pergolas and covers: Natural wood construction for a traditional look. Requires more maintenance but offers classic appeal and customization options.
• Custom shade structures: Unique designs tailored to your specific needs, including cabanas, pavilions, and gazebos.

Each structure serves a different purpose. Pergolas give you partial shade and a defined outdoor area. Solid covers provide full protection from sun and rain. Lattice covers offer a middle ground with some sun filtering through. We help you choose the right option based on how you want to use your outdoor space.

Building for Arizona's Climate

Outdoor structures in Glendale need to be built with Arizona's climate in mind. The sun is intense, temperatures are extreme, and wind can be a serious issue during monsoon season. Materials that work in cooler, wetter climates won't last here. That's why we use products rated for desert conditions.

Our aluminum structures are powder-coated to resist fading and corrosion from UV exposure. If you choose wood, we use treated lumber that can handle sun and temperature swings. We properly anchor every structure to withstand high winds. And we design with drainage in mind, so monsoon rains don't cause problems.

We've been building outdoor structures in Glendale since 2024, and we know what works. We understand local building codes and HOA requirements. We handle permits and inspections so you don't have to. And because we're local, we're available if you need service or support after the installation.

Why Add an Outdoor Structure?

An outdoor structure makes your backyard more usable. Instead of avoiding your patio during the hottest parts of the day, you have a shaded area where you can relax comfortably. You can entertain guests, enjoy meals outside, or just sit and read without the sun beating down on you.

From a financial perspective, outdoor structures add value to your property. They increase your home's appeal and functionality. Potential buyers see a well-designed outdoor space as a major selling point, especially in Arizona where outdoor living is such a big part of the lifestyle.

Beyond practical benefits, outdoor structures simply make your home more enjoyable. They create defined spaces for different activities, add visual interest to your yard, and give you more options for how you use your property. That makes your investment worthwhile every time you step outside.

Our Design and Build Process

We start with a consultation at your home. You show us where you want the structure, and we discuss your goals and budget. We take measurements, talk about design options, and show you examples of our work. We provide a detailed estimate that covers everything from materials to labor.

Once you approve the design, we handle the permits and schedule the build. Most projects take one to three weeks, depending on size and complexity. We handle foundation work, framing, roofing, and finishing. Our crew works efficiently and keeps the job site clean. We coordinate everything so you don't have to manage multiple contractors.

After the installation, we walk you through the finished structure and answer any questions. We clean up and haul away debris. We back our work with warranties on materials and craftsmanship. If you ever need service or have concerns, we're just a phone call away.
