Covered outdoor structures
Pavilions and gazebos provide what pergolas cannot: complete weather protection. A solid roof means your outdoor space stays usable during light rain, blocks full sun when you need shade, and creates a defined room rather than just a covered area. For outdoor kitchens, dining areas, or lounging zones that need reliable shelter, fully roofed structures make the difference between seasonal use and year-round enjoyment.
We design these structures to complement your home architecture—traditional hip-roof gazebos with wood framing, modern flat-roof pavilions with steel beams, or anything between. The roof itself can feature asphalt shingles matched to your house, standing seam metal for contemporary style, or cedar shakes for rustic character. Finished ceilings allow ceiling fans, proper lighting, and sound systems to be integrated cleanly.
On rooftops, pavilions and gazebos require engineering for Chicago wind loads and structural connections that transfer those forces safely to the building below. Our in-house fabrication means custom sizing—not kit dimensions—and construction methods matched to rooftop conditions. The result is a permanent outdoor room that handles weather while extending your living space upward.
