Kind Words From Our Customers

I would highly recommend Penn! Paul was very detailed explaining my quote and the project detail’s. The quality of the work was outstanding. Paul even suggested adding the lattice underneath which I did not think of...Great work!

Paul did an incredible job from coming to assess our deck issues to completion of project. They were friendly, reliable and extremely competent, which i can say from experience with other companies is not always the case. I will be referring him to others and calling him again when I'm ready to begin another project.

I can’t say enough about the way this company operates. They are not only professional but also socially responsible. They go out of their way to accommodate people and their PETS which makes them very attractive for future customers. I’m sure glad they came to work for me!!!

Your Questions, Answered

Pergola & Gazebo FAQs

  • What is the difference between a pergola and a gazebo?

    A pergola typically has an open overhead framework that defines an outdoor seating or dining area. A gazebo typically has a solid roof for more shade and rain protection. The right choice depends on how you want to use your backyard and how much cover you prefer.

  • Will an open-top pergola keep rain out?

    No. An open-top pergola allows rain through and does not provide the shelter of a solid roof. If rain protection is a priority, Penn Construction can help you explore a gazebo or another covered outdoor structure.

  • Can Penn Construction build a pergola or gazebo on my existing deck or patio?

    It may be possible, depending on the existing deck or patio and the support the new structure requires. Penn Construction will need to evaluate the location, condition, foundation, and anchoring needs before recommending an approach. Additional footings or structural support may be needed.
