Pergola Builders for Defined Outdoor Living

Pergolas

Create an Outdoor Room Without Walls

There is a difference between sitting on a patio and sitting beneath something. A pergola installation changes how a space feels—more intimate, more intentional, more like a room you want to stay in. Our team has been designing and building pergolas across the Twin Cities for over 17 years, creating structures that complete outdoor living spaces.

Where Shade Meets Structure

Structure You Never Knew Was Missing

The best pergolas look like they were part of the original plan. River Heights matches your rooflines, aligns with sight lines, and selects materials that speak to your home’s architecture. The result is a structure that feels inevitable, not added.


Shade + Comfort

Afternoons That Last Longer

Filtered light instead of full sun. A breeze that still moves through. A pergola extends the hours you can comfortably spend outside, turning a bright patio or an outdoor kitchen into a space you want to use at 2pm in July.


Materials + Detail

Crafted to Age With Your Home

Cedar, redwood, aluminum, painted finishes. The River Heights team helps you choose materials that weather well in Minnesota and complement what you have already built. Then we construct using joints, connections, and details that reward a closer look.

“Had a larger, maintenance free deck installed that wraps around East to South of our home. Then pavers placed at ground level to give us even more room and esthetically a big improvement. Then had a pergola placed over the paver area to decrease the Sun from baking us crispy. Field stones were carefully placed around all. A drainage system was installed to keep water from coming into the basement. The team cleaned up every day they were here. They protected the lawn as much as possible and re-seeded as needed. The entire crew are very polite and professional. Good folks if you talk to them. You would want to have a couple beers with them.”
