Rough Roots builds shade structures that make a bare patio usable through an Oklahoma summer for homeowners in Oklahoma City. We're a Oklahoma County contractor based in Mustang, and Oklahoma City is an easy reach from Mustang, especially the south and southwest side, so you're not waiting on a crew that drives in from an hour away.
Oklahoma City is the metro's core, and the southwest neighborhoods closest to Mustang are where we do most of our OKC work, close enough that we're not driving in from an hour away. Custom-built cedar and wood pergolas designed for your yard. From standalone shade structures to attached patio covers, every pergola we build is framed with intention, finished clean and built to handle Oklahoma weather. In Oklahoma City, that means shade structures that make a bare patio usable through an Oklahoma summer. OKC soils run heavily to clay, so decks, fences and additions all get footings sized for ground that moves. Whether your home is one of Oklahoma City's established properties or a newer build, we scope the job to your lot and your budget, give you a firm price before we start, and build it to last.
We build with cedar for its natural resistance to rot, insects and Oklahoma's heat and humidity cycles. It weathers well and looks better over time.
Freestanding pergolas for patios, firepits and garden areas. Custom-sized to fit your yard and designed to anchor your outdoor space.
Pergolas connected to your home's roofline or fascia. Clean integration, proper flashing and structural connections that last.
No stock kits. Every pergola is designed and built to your specific dimensions, lot layout and visual goals.
We offer staining and sealing to protect the wood and match your home's existing palette. Applied on-site after the build is complete.
Pre-wired for string lights, recessed cans, or ceiling fans. We coordinate with electricians when needed to keep everything clean.
Oklahoma City is a huge range of housing, from historic bungalows to brand-new builds; on the south and southwest side nearest us, a lot of solid mid-century and builder-grade homes are due for updates. We don't install pergola kits. Every structure is custom-built on site with real lumber, proper footings and clean joinery. Our pergolas are designed to work with your home, not look like an afterthought. Because Oklahoma City is an easy reach from Mustang, especially the south and southwest side, you get faster scheduling, a builder on site instead of a project manager, and warranty follow-up you can actually hold us to.
Serving Oklahoma City and Oklahoma County, OK.
Pergolas from Rough Roots start at $5,500, and the final price in Oklahoma City depends on size, material, and whether it is freestanding or attached to your home. A larger cedar pergola or an aluminum louvered roof will run higher than a basic post-and-beam build. For a firm number on your yard, request a free estimate or text us at 405-887-1613.
When a pergolas project needs a permit, we file it through the City of Oklahoma City Development Services and coordinate any inspections, so you don't have to manage the paperwork.
OKC soils run heavily to clay, so decks, fences and additions all get footings sized for ground that moves. That is why we set footings and posts properly instead of taking shortcuts, and it is what keeps the work straight and solid for years.
Cedar gives you natural wood grain and a classic look, and it can span wider openings, but it needs re-staining every few years. Aluminum costs a bit more up front, lasts longer, and takes almost no upkeep beyond an occasional wash. We build both, so tell us your budget and how much maintenance you want to deal with and we will point you to the right one.
A well-built, permanent pergola adds usable outdoor space that buyers notice, and in a metro where people live outside much of the year it helps a listing stand out. Flimsy kit pergolas can do the opposite, so the value comes from solid construction anchored to code. That is the kind we build.
Most pergolas go up in one to three days on site once materials are in and the ground is ready. Bigger custom builds, or ones that need concrete footings poured and cured first, can take a little longer. We give you a clear timeline before we start.
A cedar pergola should be cleaned and re-stained every one to five years depending on how much sun it gets, with the south-facing side needing it most. Aluminum needs almost nothing, just a wipe-down now and then. Either way, keeping it sealed and clean is what makes it last.
Yes, when it is built for it. Central Oklahoma sees wind design speeds around 115 mph, so our pergolas use proper post anchorage, rated hardware, and footings sized for our clay soil to stay put. A pergola set in shallow or undersized footings is the kind that fails in a storm, and we do not build those.
