Pergolas in Alhambra

Alhambra is a City of Phoenix village north of downtown, grown up after World War II and known for small postwar ranch-style homes.

Many Alhambra backyards have a small slab off the back door and full afternoon sun. A modest attached pergola or a compact freestanding frame over a dining table is the most common first project here.

The City of Phoenix's residential patio cover guideline covers one-story structures up to 12 feet tall, open on two or more sides and attached to the house, and it requires construction drawings and a permit. The City's list of work exempt from permit includes one-story detached accessory structures up to 200 square feet of total floor area, and it names ramadas and gazebos as similar uses. Neither document names pergolas, so we confirm with the City of Phoenix whether your pergola needs a permit before we build.

Alhambra Pergola Questions

Will a pergola fit a small Alhambra backyard?

Usually. We size the footprint to your slab and keep posts clear of walkways and gates.

Can a pergola attach to an older ranch home?

Often. We look at the roofline and wall framing first, then decide between a ledger and a freestanding frame.
