The Sluys family loved spending time outdoors, but their aging wooden pergola had become more of a headache than a retreat.
Years of exposure had left the structure worn, weathered, and rotting in places, creating ongoing maintenance concerns and constant repainting. They also wanted a safer, more insurance friendly solution that could stand up to the Southern California climate without the upkeep that comes with traditional wood.
That’s when they partnered with
Southwest Builders to create a low maintenance outdoor space built to last.
The project included:
- Removal of the old deteriorating wooden pergola
- Installation of a new Alumawood Elitewood pergola
- Driftwood finish for the warm look of natural wood
- Low maintenance, non combustible aluminum construction
- Lifetime manufacturer warranty for long term peace of mind
Once the plan was finalized, the team installed a brand new Alumawood Elitewood pergola in a beautiful Driftwood finish, giving the patio the warm appearance of natural wood without the constant maintenance.
In just three days, the backyard was completely transformed.
The new aluminum pergola instantly gave the outdoor space a cleaner, more modern look while creating a comfortable shaded area for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying family time year round. The Driftwood finish added warmth and character to the patio, while the non combustible aluminum construction provided peace of mind and long term durability.
Without the upgrade, the homeowners would have continued dealing with costly upkeep, repainting, and the ongoing deterioration that comes with an aging wood structure. Instead, they now have an outdoor living space designed to look beautiful for years with minimal maintenance.
If you’ve been putting off upgrading your outdoor space because of maintenance concerns or an outdated patio design, this project is proof that the right solution can completely change how you enjoy your home.
