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 Lafayette

We offer remodeling, finish carpentry and cabinetry services in Lafayette.

The local housing includes 1950s–70s ranch homes on wooded lots, many now extensively remodeled. Post-war properties may have room for a patio, pergola or outdoor kitchen. We assess the available space, drainage and access before planning the layout.

We serve Lafayette, including Happy Valley, Burton Valley, Trail neighborhood and Reliez Valley. Project planning here accounts for wooded hillside parcels with tree ordinances and fire-zone construction rules. We consider orientation, shade, wind exposure and footing requirements when planning outdoor structures.

Frequently asked questions

Do pergolas need permits in Lafayette?

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