Expand Your Outdoor Living Space

A deck or patio is great, but adding a pergola or patio cover takes your outdoor space to the next level. These structures provide shade from the hot California sun, protect you from light rain, and create defined outdoor rooms. They also add architectural interest and increase your home's curb appeal and value. Whether you want a cozy retreat for morning coffee or an outdoor entertaining area for guests, a pergola or patio cover makes your yard more usable and enjoyable.

At Timber N Tread Rialto Decks, we design and build custom pergolas, patio covers, and outdoor structures for homeowners in Rialto and surrounding communities. We create structures that complement your home's style and meet your functional needs. From simple pergolas to fully covered patios with integrated lighting and fans, we have the skills and experience to bring your vision to life.

Outdoor structures also extend the usability of your deck or patio. Instead of retreating indoors when the sun gets too hot, you can relax in the shade. You can host outdoor dinners even on warm afternoons. A well-designed pergola or patio cover transforms your outdoor space into a comfortable outdoor room that you will use all year long.

Types of Outdoor Structures We Build

We offer a variety of outdoor structures to suit different needs and styles:

  • Pergolas: Open-roof structures with evenly spaced beams and rafters that provide partial shade. Pergolas create a defined outdoor space without blocking airflow or views. They are perfect for adding vertical interest and can be customized with climbing plants, fabric canopies, or string lights for added shade and ambiance.
  • Patio Covers: Fully covered structures that provide complete protection from sun and rain. Patio covers are ideal for creating an all-weather outdoor living area. We build solid-roof covers, lattice-top covers, and insulated roof panels depending on your needs.
  • Gazebos: Freestanding structures with a solid roof and open or screened sides. Gazebos create a focal point in your yard and provide a shaded retreat away from the house. They work well near pools, gardens, or as standalone seating areas.
  • Arbors: Smaller structures typically used as entryways or focal points in gardens. Arbors add charm and can support climbing plants for natural beauty.
  • Attached vs. Freestanding Structures: We build structures that attach to your home for seamless integration or freestanding structures that stand independently in your yard. Both options have their advantages depending on your property's layout and your design preferences.

We work with you to choose the right structure for your space, budget, and lifestyle. We can incorporate features like built-in lighting, ceiling fans, electrical outlets, and even outdoor kitchens or fireplaces to create a complete outdoor living area.

Materials and Design Options

We offer a wide range of materials to match your style and budget:

Wood

Wood pergolas and patio covers offer classic, natural beauty. We use cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine that can be stained or painted to match your home. Wood structures blend well with traditional wood decks and landscaping. Wood requires periodic maintenance like staining or sealing to maintain its appearance.

Vinyl

Vinyl structures are low-maintenance and durable. They resist rot, insects, and fading, making them ideal for homeowners who want a beautiful structure without the upkeep. Vinyl pergolas and covers come in white and various colors to complement your home's exterior.

Aluminum

Aluminum patio covers are lightweight, strong, and rust-resistant. They come in a variety of styles, including solid panels, lattice patterns, and insulated roofs. Aluminum is a cost-effective option that provides excellent sun and rain protection with minimal maintenance.

Composite

Composite materials combine the look of wood with the durability of synthetic materials. Composite pergolas and covers pair perfectly with composite decks and require very little maintenance.

We help you choose the right materials based on your budget, maintenance preferences, and design vision. We can also mix materials, like wood posts with aluminum roofing, to create a custom look.

Our Design and Build Process

Here is how we approach every outdoor structure project:

Step 1: Consultation and Design

We start with a free on-site consultation to discuss your goals and evaluate your space. We take measurements, assess your property's layout, and talk about your style preferences. We create a custom design that fits your needs and budget. We provide drawings or renderings so you can visualize the finished structure before we start building.

Step 2: Permits and Approvals

We handle all necessary permits and ensure your structure complies with local building codes. Depending on the size and type of structure, permits may be required. We take care of the paperwork so you do not have to.

Step 3: Professional Installation

Once the design is approved, we build your structure using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. We set posts in concrete footings for stability, install beams and rafters with precision, and add roofing or finishing touches as needed. We work efficiently and keep the job site clean and safe.

Step 4: Final Walkthrough

We walk you through the completed structure and answer any questions. We do not consider the job done until you are completely satisfied with the results.
