Pergolas in Cordillera Ranch — FAQ
We build fixed-louver and motorized adjustable-louver aluminum pergolas in any size. Adjustable louvers let you control sun, shade, and rain protection with a remote — popular for outdoor kitchens and pool areas.
Pergola pricing varies by size, louver type (fixed vs motorized), and features. A motorized pergola costs more than fixed louvers but adds weather protection. We provide free estimates with exact numbers.
In most areas, yes. Freestanding pergolas under a certain size may be exempt, but attached structures typically require a permit. We check the requirements for your specific property and handle the process.
Fixed louvers provide a set amount of filtered shade and airflow at a lower price point. Adjustable louvers rotate with a remote so you can open for full sun, angle for partial shade, or close completely for rain protection — popular for outdoor kitchens and dining areas where weather changes mid-use.
When fully closed, motorized louvers create a watertight seal. An integrated gutter system channels rainwater off the roof and down through the posts. You can keep entertaining through a typical San Antonio rain shower without moving indoors.
Aluminum pergolas are maintenance-free, don't rot or warp, and last decades longer than wood. They cost more upfront but eliminate long-term staining, sealing, and termite treatments. In San Antonio's climate, aluminum is the clear long-term value.

Absolutely. Our aluminum pergolas have integrated channels for LED lighting, and the structure supports ceiling fans. Wiring runs through the posts and beams for a clean, hidden installation.
