Alumawood Pergola Installation in San Diego

Alumawood Pergola Installation in San Diego 1

About the project

What began as a termite-infested wooden pergola had turned into more of a liability than a luxury for homeowners Randy and Judy. Their beautiful San Diego home sat along a scenic golf course, but the deteriorating structure limited how much they could enjoy their backyard views. The old wood required constant upkeep and offered little protection from the sun—far from the inviting outdoor retreat they envisioned.

When Randy and Judy reached out to Southwest Builders, they were looking for a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution that would blend seamlessly with their home’s bright and open aesthetic. After a friendly walkthrough and clear plan, our team got to work:

  • Step 1: Safely demolish and remove the termite-damaged wooden pergola.
  • Step 2: Install a brand-new Alumawood/Elitewood aluminum pergola in a crisp white finish, designed for 65% shade coverage and built to last a lifetime.

In just four days, their backyard was transformed. The new pergola now frames their golf course view beautifully, offering the perfect balance of shade and sunlight. With its clean white finish and durable aluminum build, the space feels fresh, open, and built to last—no more worries about rot, pests, or repainting. It’s now the perfect spot to relax with morning coffee, watch a few rounds of golf, or host friends outdoors in comfort and style.

Looking back, it’s easy to imagine how much enjoyment might have been lost if they hadn’t made the upgrade—endless repairs, more termite damage, and an underused patio.

Now, Randy and Judy have a backyard they love and a pergola that will stand strong for decades.
