I have an area at the back of my house. It would always stay covered up over the tables because of the birds. Now it is all enclosed and looking real clean it’s been painted, new fans, new ceiling lights, and screened in I am very pleased with the contraction. I think they did a super good job.

Expert Pergola and Pergola Covers in Benton, LA
Benton homeowners deal with hot, humid summers and heavy seasonal rain. A pergola or pergola cover from Arete Home Builders gives your backyard a defined outdoor living space that holds up to both. We build open-beam pergolas, louvered cover systems, and solid-roof pergola covers. Each option is matched to how you use your yard and what your home's exterior calls for. Open-beam pergolas add structure and shade to patios, garden areas, and poolside spaces. Louvered covers let you adjust sun and airflow by rotating the slats, then close fully when rain moves in. Solid-roof pergola covers block rain and direct sun entirely, making them a strong fit for outdoor kitchens and covered seating areas. As a general contractor serving Benton and the surrounding area, we handle the full build from footings to finish. Every structure is sized and anchored for Louisiana's wind and rain loads. Call Arete Home Builders to talk through your yard and get a straight answer on which pergola option fits your space.

FAQ
Pergola and Pergola Covers FAQ
Common questions about pergola and pergola covers in Benton, LA.
Yes, we build both attached and freestanding pergolas for Benton homeowners. Attached pergolas connect directly to your home's exterior wall and share the roofline, while freestanding units stand independently anywhere in your yard.
A louvered cover or solid-roof pergola cover works best in Benton's rainy climate. Both options channel water away from the structure and keep the space underneath dry when storms roll through.
Yes, concrete footings are standard for pergola posts in Benton to keep the structure stable in high winds and wet soil conditions. Arete Home Builders sizes and sets footings based on your specific site.
A louvered cover has rotating slats you can open for sun and airflow or close for rain protection. A solid cover is fixed and blocks sun and rain at all times, making it a better fit for outdoor kitchens or spaces where you always want full shade.
Yes, we can wire pergola structures for ceiling fans, lighting, and outdoor outlets during the build. Planning electrical during construction keeps the finish clean and avoids exposed conduit after the fact.
