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 Berkeley

We offer remodeling services for Berkeley's older homes, with attention to existing materials and current code requirements.

The local housing includes brown-shingle and Craftsman homes, a great many built before 1930. At an older property, we assess the yard layout, access and existing structures before planning a patio, outdoor kitchen or shade structure.

We serve Berkeley, including Elmwood, North Berkeley, Claremont and Westbrae. Project planning here accounts for century-old framing, knob-and-tube remnants and strict local review. We consider orientation, shade, wind exposure and footing requirements when planning outdoor structures.

Permits and inspections in Berkeley

Permits for work in Berkeley go through the City of Berkeley Permit Service 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 Berkeley?

It depends. Whether a pergola needs a permit in Berkeley comes down to size, height and attachment to the house — Berkeley 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.
