Covered Patios & Pergolas in Town and Country, Missouri

Newer Town and Country subdivisions have young trees and wide-open backyards, which means patios that bake from noon until sunset. We build pergolas, patio roofs and pavilions that give those yards usable shade.

Town and Country homes and this kind of project

A covered patio or pergola in Town and Country means working in estate homes ranging from mid-century ranches to new custom builds, 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: estate homes from mid-century ranches to new custom construction on lots of an acre or more.

Timber-frame pavilions with fireplaces and outdoor kitchens are the usual brief.

Lots, exteriors and approvals in Town and Country

Pavilions, pool houses, screened porches and additions. Tree protection and stormwater rules are strict, and we plan site access with them in mind.

Outdoor living in Town and Country means structures with presence: timber pavilions, stone fireplaces, screened rooms with retractable panels and multi-level terraces on sloping lots. Architectural review is usually demanding, and we prepare complete submittals.

What is included

For Town and Country 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 estates along Mason, Clayton and Conway roads.

What we watch for

Builder patios in Town and Country are commonly four inches of unreinforced concrete, and some have settled toward the house. We check slope and condition before designing anything that stands on or beside them.

Working on acre-plus lots with protected trees, as we do in Town and Country, we plan access for framers, a roofer and an electrician before the first delivery arrives.

Permits and approvals in Town and Country

In Town and Country, a covered patio or pergola is reviewed by the City of Town and Country, with permits coordinated through St. Louis County. What follows is footing, framing and electrical inspections for roofed structures.

Exterior work in Town and Country can also involve the city's architectural review and strict site rules, and we put that package together for you.

Schedule and getting to you

Most Town and Country clients see one to four weeks of construction for a covered patio or pergola.

Town and Country is straight down I-64 to the I-270 area, about thirty-five minutes from our Wentzville base. We plan crew days and deliveries around that drive so you get full working days on site.

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 Town and Country; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.

What moves the price in Town and Country

We price covered patios & pergolas in Town and Country from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

  • Open pergola versus solid roof.
  • Timber species and size. Large cedar or fir timbers are a premium.

More detail

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 Town and Country page.

Covered Patios & Pergolas in Town and Country: common questions

How long does a covered patio or pergola take in Town and Country?

Pergolas take about a week. For Town and Country 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 Town and Country?

Possibly. In Town and Country you may be dealing with the city's architectural review and strict site rules. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.

Does a pergola really provide shade?

Partial. Rafter spacing and orientation matter, and adding a canopy or louvers makes it far more effective. If you want reliable shade and rain cover, choose a solid roof.
