Common Questions

Things homeowners ask us.

Have a question that is not covered here? Call or text us at (919) 726-9945 and we will give you a straight answer.

Boxed pavilion kits rely on thin hollow posts, short screws, and light framing that racks in high winds. We build freestanding pavilions from the ground up with deep poured concrete piers, solid 6x6 and 8x8 timbers, structural knee braces, hurricane-tied 2x8 rafters, and real roof sheathing and shingles that last for decades.
Yes. Because we run our own excavation and grading equipment alongside our carpentry crew, we can level a sloped yard, install a compacted gravel and stone patio base or frame a custom wood/composite deck platform, and erect the timber pavilion on top.
Yes. We build freestanding octagonal gazebos with built-in wraparound benches, open-rafter shade pergolas over multi-level decks, and gable-roof backyard pavilions over outdoor kitchens and firepits.
