Covered Patios & Pergolas in Wentzville, Missouri

Wentzville homes and this kind of project

A covered patio or pergola in Wentzville means working in the two-stories and ranches built here since 2000, 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: predominantly two-story and ranch production homes from 2000 onward, with 1980s and 1990s subdivisions closer to the center and a pocket of early-twentieth-century houses downtown.

Treeless new lots bake all afternoon, which is why this is our most requested outdoor project there.

Lots, exteriors and approvals in Wentzville

Original decks in Wentzville subdivisions were often the builder's minimum: small, treated pine, and now fifteen to twenty years old. Lots are open with young trees, so shade structures and screened porches are in demand. Most newer neighborhoods have an HOA that reviews exterior changes.

New subdivisions in Wentzville mean open lots, no shade and a small patio or deck from the builder. Owners are adding the outdoor space the builder left out: larger decks, roofed patios and privacy from the neighbors behind. HOA approval comes first.

What is included

For Wentzville 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 across Wentzville, from historic downtown Wentzville to Bear Creek and Golf Club of Wentzville.

What we watch for

Utility easements run along many rear lot lines in Wentzville. We check your plat so a freestanding pavilion is not built where a utility has the right to dig.

Wentzville properties tend to be open subdivision lots with young trees and rear common ground, 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 Wentzville

In Wentzville, a covered patio or pergola is reviewed by the City of Wentzville building division. What follows is footing, framing and electrical inspections for roofed structures.

Since this work shows from outside, also plan on a subdivision HOA in most newer neighborhoods. We prepare that submittal alongside the permit.

Schedule and getting to you

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

We are based in Wentzville, so this is a local job for us. Site visits, material drops and mid-project questions get handled the same day.

What moves the price in Wentzville

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

• Electrical, gas and any new patio surface.
• Open pergola versus solid roof.
