Ladue homes and this kind of project
A covered patio or pergola in Ladue means working in architect-designed houses from the 1920s to 1950s and newer estates, so on our first visit we look at sun direction at the hours you sit outside, the existing slab and the rear easement.
The housing stock here: architect-designed homes from the 1920s to 1950s, mid-century ranches and new estates on large lots.
A simple pergola or arbor is usually the sympathetic choice beside an old house.
Lots, exteriors and approvals in Ladue
Wood window and trim restoration, additions designed to be indistinguishable from the original, and terraces and porches. Architectural review is thorough.
A front porch is part of the architecture of an older Ladue house, and rebuilding one means matching column profiles, railing heights and beadboard ceilings, often under historic review. Rear decks and porches have more freedom, but we still design them to suit the house.
What is included
For Ladue projects we provide design, engineering where needed, permits and HOA documents, footings, framing, roofing, electrical, gas rough-in, staining or painting and coordination of any new concrete or paver work.
We take on covered patio or pergola work in and around lanes off Ladue, Warson and Litzsinger roads.
What we watch for
Utility easements run along many rear lot lines in Ladue. We check your plat so a freestanding pavilion is not built where a utility has the right to dig.
Ladue properties tend to be large lots on winding private lanes, and that affects how we stage materials, where framers, a roofer and an electrician park and how debris leaves the site.
Permits and approvals in Ladue
Ladue's building department is where we file for a covered patio or pergola in Ladue, and the job will see footing, framing and electrical inspections for roofed structures.
Exterior work in Ladue can also involve a thorough architectural review board, and we put that package together for you.
Schedule and getting to you
Most Ladue clients see one to four weeks of construction for a covered patio or pergola.
Ladue sits toward the edge of our range: I-64 east past Lindbergh, a little over forty minutes in normal traffic. We group trade visits and deliveries carefully for projects at that distance, and we take them on when the scope justifies a dedicated crew.
What our covered patios & pergolas looks like
Photographs from jobs we have built. We do not label photographs by town, so these may or may not be near Ladue; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.
What moves the price in Ladue
We price covered patios & pergolas in Ladue from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- Attached versus freestanding.
- Electrical, gas and any new patio surface.

Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main covered patios & pergolas page. More about the area is on our Ladue page.
Covered Patios & Pergolas in Ladue: common questions
How long does a covered patio or pergola take in Ladue?
Pergolas take about a week. For Ladue we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a covered patio or pergola in Ladue?
Possibly. In Ladue you may be dealing with a thorough architectural review board. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.
Wood or aluminum?
Wood is warmer and customizable and needs periodic finishing. Aluminum is close to maintenance-free and comes in fixed styles.
