FAQ

Deck & Pergola FAQ - Salt Lake City

  • How much does it cost to build a deck or pergola in Salt Lake City?

    Cost depends on size, materials, and whether the structure is attached or freestanding. Composite decks and aluminum pergolas cost more up front than basic wood but save on long-term maintenance. We provide a free, detailed estimate so you can compare options for your yard.

  • Do I need a permit for a deck or pergola in Salt Lake City?

    Most decks and many pergolas require a permit, especially when attached to the house or above a certain height. Activescapes handles the permit process, confirms setbacks and footing requirements, and builds to current Salt Lake City code.

  • What materials hold up best in Utah's climate?

    Composite and cedar decking and aluminum or vinyl pergolas all perform well against Salt Lake City's sun, freeze-thaw cycles, and snow load. We help you weigh appearance, budget, and maintenance to choose the right material for your project.

  • Can you attach a pergola to my house?

    Yes. We build both attached pergolas, which tie into your roofline or wall to shade a patio or back door, and freestanding pergolas placed anywhere in the yard. Each is engineered for proper support and snow load.

  • How long does a deck or pergola build take?

    Most projects take from a few days to a couple of weeks once permits are approved, depending on size and complexity. We give you a real timeline up front and keep you updated through the build.
