Transform Your Outdoor Living with a Custom Pergola
A pergola isn’t just a visual upgrade, it’s a lifestyle enhancement. Whether you want a quiet retreat or an entertainment space, a well-built pergola adds structure, comfort, and versatility. ALTA Outdoor Living brings years of experience as custom pergola builders, ensuring every installation meets Douglas County’s climate needs, HOA rules, and your personal design vision.
Pergola Styles We Build
We offer a range of pergola installation styles to complement different architectural needs and outdoor goals. Each system is designed for performance, durability, and visual impact:
Louvered Pergolas
Louvered pergola installations feature adjustable aluminum slats that can be opened or closed for precise control over sunlight, airflow, and rain protection. Systems like the Azenco R-Blade Bioclimatic Pergola offer motorized operation for year-round adaptability, combining smart technology with modern outdoor comfort.
Fixed Pergolas
Fixed pergolas are built with non-adjustable roofs, either solid or slatted, offering dependable shade and shelter. The Azenco R-Shade model delivers full rain protection with a sleek, modern aluminum build. Traditional styles like gable and arched pergolas use wood and peaked or curved roofs to create architectural interest while offering stable, long-lasting coverage.
Freestanding & Attached Pergolas
Freestanding pergolas are independent structures that define outdoor spaces such as gardens, pool areas, or patios with open access on all sides. Attached pergolas, on the other hand, are integrated into existing buildings, extending shaded areas from patios or entrances. Both types enhance usable space while offering structural and aesthetic versatility.
Custom & Classic Pergolas
Classic pergolas are defined by open-slat roofs and clean, timeless designs that provide partial shade and ambiance, ideal for relaxing nooks or social spaces. For those seeking something truly unique, custom pergolas by ALTA Outdoor Living are tailored to specific needs, with full control over materials, dimensions, finishes, and optional automation.
Architectural Pergolas
Architectural pergolas emphasize structure, form, and visual impact. Gable pergolas feature a classic pitched roof that brings a spacious, traditional look, often crafted from cedar or Douglas Fir for natural beauty and durability. Arched pergolas, with their smooth curves and elegant flow, are ideal for creating graceful transitions in gardens, patios, or public walkways. Both styles blend function with design to elevate any outdoor environment.
Premium Pergola Materials
Not all pergola installations are built alike. We focus on premium-grade materials engineered for longevity and performance in Colorado’s varied weather conditions

Cedar & Douglas Fir
Natural, warm, and timeless, cedar and Douglas Fir pergola installations offer a traditional aesthetic that weathers beautifully over time. These materials are rot-resistant and perfect for clients who want a custom, organic look with strong performance.

Aluminum
Lightweight, rust-resistant, and maintenance-free, our aluminum pergola installations, especially those from Azenco, are ideal for modern designs and motorized features. Their clean lines and modular systems make them a top choice in Douglas County’s dry climate.

What Our Customers Say About Us
EXCELLENT Based on 40 reviews Posted on Google Benjamin PaigeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience working with Alta during the quote and planning process. They were professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and very generous with their time. We really appreciated their honesty, integrity, and clear communication.Posted on Google Sophie ParkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alta put a louvered roof over our existing patio instead of replacing everything. Saved us money and time. Jon Potter explained that our concrete was still good, just needed the cover. The Azenco system they installed works with a remote - open it when we want sun, close it when it's too hot. Simple concept, works exactly like they said it would. Crew was professional, in and out in under a week. Good experience overall, would recommend them to friends in Greenwood Village.Posted on Google Lee RodgersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our house in Cherry Creek is older, built in the 80s. Wasn't sure how a new deck would look with it. Dave Little took time to match the style instead of just slapping something modern on there. The privacy screens they designed fit the architecture. This deck builder actually cared about making it look right, not just functional. My partner was worried it would look out of place but it doesn't. Gets compliments from neighbors pretty regularly.Posted on Google Gabriela PerezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wasn't sure about spending this much on a deck. Jeff came to our place in Larkspur with actual samples, not just pictures. Showed us what composite looks like after a few years versus new. That helped. Jon Potter walked through the cost breakdown so we understood where the money was going. Decided to go for it. Four months later, using it almost every evening. Turns out it was worth it.Posted on Google Amber JenkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finally have a patio we actually use in the evenings. The fire pit Jeff Potter helped us design sits perfectly with our new deck and railings, and the cedar tongue-and-groove cover overhead keeps us dry when the weather turns. We're in Colorado Springs and weren't sure a Castle Rock company would want to make the drive, but they never once made it feel like an inconvenience.Posted on Google Rosie SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our deck in Larkspur was too hot to use most afternoons. Jon Potter added a louvered roof that we can close when the sun hits. Simple fix, works great. They also replaced the railings with something sturdier. My kids lean on them constantly and they haven't budged. Project stayed on schedule.Posted on Google Logan HayesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jon made everything clear, he was upfront about the cost and timeline, so there were no surprises at all. We had a louvered roof installed over our patio, and it turned out perfectly. The water now drains away from the house instead of pooling, which was a big issue for us before. The whole project was completed in just three weeks, and we’d definitely use them again.Posted on Google Miles HendersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were surprised at how easy Jon Potter made getting our deck approved and built. He handled all the paperwork and even accompanied us to the HOA review meeting, which really made a difference. The deck builder and privacy screens his team designed got approved on the first try, something that rarely happens in our neighborhood. The crew was respectful and quiet while working, which we appreciated since most of us work from home. Eight months later, the deck still looks fantastic and hasn’t required any maintenance.Posted on Google Jared WatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were initially told by several deck builders that the cost to engineer a deck would be very high. Jeff Potter saw it differently and proposed a much simpler solution that fit the terrain perfectly without overcomplicating the design. The end result was a multi-level composite deck that feels natural and thoughtfully planned, not forced in any way. We later added an Azenco roof, and it blended seamlessly with the original deck layout. The pricing was fair, the project stayed on schedule, and the crew always made sure the site was cleaned up at the end of each day.Posted on Google Penelope CastilloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We wanted to upgrade our deck in Monument without starting completely from scratch, and this team delivered exactly that. They reused the existing posts, which saved us a lot of money, and only replaced what truly needed work. Dave Little’s crew was efficient and thoughtful throughout the process. Jon even caught and fixed a drainage issue that no one else had brought up. The new Azenco louvered roof is perfect for adjusting shade, and since the project was finished in May, we’ve been using the deck almost every day.
