Backyard pergola and outdoor living space at dusk

We design and build pergolas, patio covers, outdoor kitchens, concrete patios and landscaping as one coordinated project.

Our concrete, carpentry and electrical crews coordinate footings, patio drainage, lighting and power connections.

Planning your project in Alameda

We offer remodeling and finish carpentry for Alameda's Victorian, Edwardian and Craftsman homes.

The local housing includes Victorian, Edwardian and Craftsman housing on a flat island grid. At an older property, we assess the yard layout, access and existing structures before planning a patio, outdoor kitchen or shade structure.

We serve Alameda, including Gold Coast, East End, Bronze Coast and Bay Farm Island. Project planning here accounts for island salt air, original millwork worth preserving and historic review in places. We consider orientation, shade, wind exposure and footing requirements when planning outdoor structures.

Permits and inspections in Alameda

Permits for work in Alameda go through the City of Alameda Permit Center. Whether a structure needs a permit comes down to size, height and attachment to the house — we confirm the threshold before design is final. We handle the permit application and coordinate inspections.

Frequently asked questions

Do pergolas need permits in Alameda?

It depends. Whether a pergola needs a permit in Alameda comes down to size, height and attachment to the house — Alameda exempts some smaller detached structures. We confirm requirements for your design and pull the permit when one's needed.

Wood or aluminum pergola?

Wood offers a natural finish and flexible detailing; aluminum generally needs less maintenance. We build both and can help you compare appearance, upkeep and site exposure.

Can you do the whole backyard — concrete, pergola and landscaping?

Yes. AZ Elevated Builders can include concrete, a pergola and landscaping in one backyard project. We coordinate grades, drainage, footings and planting in the same plan.
