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 Oakland

We offer remodeling services across Oakland, from Rockridge Craftsman homes to hillside properties.

The local housing includes Craftsman, Victorian and Mediterranean stock largely pre-1940. At an older property, we assess the yard layout, access and existing structures before planning a patio, outdoor kitchen or shade structure.

We serve Oakland, including Rockridge, Montclair, Temescal and Glenview. Project planning here accounts for older foundations, seismic considerations and steep hillside lots. We consider orientation, shade, wind exposure and footing requirements when planning outdoor structures.

Permits and inspections in Oakland

Permits for work in Oakland go through the City of Oakland Bureau of Building. 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 Oakland?

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