Pergolas built for Florida sun and summer storms

Shade when you want it, open sky when you don't. We design and install louvered aluminum and cedar pergolas across Lakeland and the surrounding area.

A pergola turns a hot slab into the room everyone ends up in. We size it to the space, orient it to the afternoon sun, and design it to work with what's already there: your roofline, pool, patio or deck.

Fig & Fern is an official partner of Luxury Pergolas. Their louvered aluminum systems open and close to let light in or keep rain out, with motorized options, and they won't rot or warp in Florida humidity. If you'd rather have the warmth of wood, we build in cedar.

Common questions

How much does a pergola cost?

Most of our pergolas land between $15,000 and $45,000 installed. Size, material, a motorized louvered roof, lighting, and the surface underneath drive where yours falls. You'll get an exact number after the free consultation.

Aluminum or wood: which is better here?

Louvered aluminum doesn't rot, warp or need staining, and the louvers adjust for sun and rain. Cedar has a warmer, natural look but needs periodic sealing to hold up to Florida weather. We'll show you both and help you decide.

Do I need a permit for a pergola?

Often, yes, especially when it's attached to the house or covers a large area. As a licensed contractor we pull the permits your city or county requires and schedule the inspections.

Can it connect to my house?

Yes. We build both freestanding and attached pergolas, and we'll walk through which works better for your roofline and drainage at the consultation.
