Pergolas and covered decks, Central Coast
A covered deck turns a fine-weather space into one you use year round. The difference between a good one and a bolted-on one is how it meets the existing roof.
We build flyover pergolas and integrated roof extensions over new and existing decks, using insulated panel systems like Versiclad as well as conventional framed roofs. Spans, post positions and beam sizes come off engineering, so posts land where they make sense for the space rather than in the middle of your table.
The junction with the house is where most covered decks go wrong. Our Wamberal project ties the new pergola into the existing roofline with transition flashings so the two roofs read as one and water is shed properly — no exposed brackets, no visible step, no leak in six months.
Insulated panels cut the heat and the rain noise, and they let us keep the roof thin so sightlines and ceiling height stay generous. Where the design calls for dappled light instead, we build open-batten pergolas in hardwood.

Common questions
Do I need council approval for a pergola or covered deck?
- Some qualify as exempt development, but height, setbacks, floor area and site conditions all matter. We tell you which pathway your project sits on and what documentation it needs before work starts.
Can a new pergola tie into my existing roof?
- Yes — that's how we prefer to build them. Done with proper transition flashings the new roof reads as part of the original, which looks better and performs better than a separate structure butted up against the house.
Insulated panel or open-batten pergola?
- Insulated panels give you shade, rain cover and a quieter, cooler space. Open battens give filtered light and a lighter look. It comes down to how you want to use the deck in summer and in the rain.
