How We Bring Your Vision to Life

1

Initial Consultation & Planning

We start with a design conversation to understand how you want to use your space — sun coverage, privacy, architectural style, and material preferences.

2

On-Site Layout & Measurements

We visit your property to measure dimensions, review sun angles, assess structure anchoring, and ensure your pergola or shade feature will fit beautifully and securely.

3

Build & Installation

From cutting and setting the posts to mounting beams and covers, we build every piece with care and finish it cleanly — on decks, patios, rooftops, or yards.

4

Final Walkthrough & Adjustments

We walk the entire structure with you — checking placement, coverage, and finishes. We also make sure any lighting or shade components work exactly as expected.

Why Choose Decks N’ Stones?

With Decks N’ Stones, your pergola or shade feature isn’t just an afterthought — it’s a functional design element, purpose-built for your lifestyle. We combine smart planning with clean craftsmanship to deliver structures that feel native to your home. Whether you need a little coverage or a full outdoor room, we’ll guide you through material options, structural requirements, and the aesthetic details that make your space feel cohesive. From pressure-treated posts to powder-coated frames, we build shade that lasts — no shortcuts, no guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a pergola in NYC?
Most free-standing pergolas do not require a permit if they meet certain height and setback rules. If you’re attaching to your home or installing on a rooftop, we’ll advise and handle any necessary permits.
Can you build pergolas on rooftop decks?
Yes, we’ve built pergolas on many NYC rooftops. We assess structural capacity, anchoring options, and accessibility to make sure your rooftop shade is safe, secure, and up to code.
What materials can I choose from?
We offer pressure-treated wood, cedar, aluminum, and composite frame options. Covers can include canvas, slatted wood, polycarbonate, or retractable elements depending on your goals.
Can you include lighting or ceiling fans?
Absolutely. We can wire for pendant lights, recessed LEDs, and outdoor-rated ceiling fans — and we’ll coordinate with licensed electricians when needed.
How do shade structures hold up in the winter?
We use weather-rated materials designed for NYC’s changing seasons. Everything is sealed and fastened for durability — no warping, no sagging, no shortcuts.
