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 Richmond

We offer remodeling services for Richmond's bungalows, hillside homes and waterfront properties.

The local housing includes pre-war bungalows and wartime housing alongside newer hillside and marina builds. At an older property, we assess the yard layout, access and existing structures before planning a patio, outdoor kitchen or shade structure.

We serve Richmond, including Point Richmond, Marina Bay, Richmond Annex and May Valley. Project planning here accounts for older foundations, dated wiring and bay-adjacent moisture exposure. We consider orientation, shade, wind exposure and footing requirements when planning outdoor structures.

Permits and inspections in Richmond

Permits for work in Richmond go through the City of Richmond Building Regulations Division. 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 Richmond?

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