    What Alvin Homeowners Say About Us

    5.027 reviews on Google
    “My 25 yo cedar fence was partially destroyed by Hurricane Beryl so I decided to replace the entire section of fence. I contacted several fence companies but only Kyle at 360Fence & Deck responded quickly with a willingness to measure the section and provide an estimate within the next 2 days. The estimate was lower than previous quotes and I was impressed with Kyle's customer service. They completed the job within 3 days and I am very satisfied with the results. I was very grateful they built the new fence without harming existing landscaping growing on the old fence. Clearly these guys are excellent craftsmen with the appearance and quality adhering to very high standards. Kyle was very helpful in answering my questions and concerns. I would definitely use 360Fence & Deck co for future work and I strongly recommend them to others.”

    Wood Pergola in Alvin — Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does a wood pergola cost in Alvin, TX?

    Wood pergola construction in the Alvin & Houston area ranges from $3,500–$12,000+ depending on size, wood species, and design complexity. A typical 12×12 cedar pergola costs $5,000–$8,000 installed. Many Alvin properties exceed 1 acre, requiring long fence runs where material cost per foot becomes the primary budget driver.

    Do you build wood pergola projects throughout Alvin?

    Yes. We build throughout Alvin, including Hillcrest Village, Chocolate Bayou, Forest Heights, and across the Greater Houston area. Our crews are out of Pearland, so Alvin is a short drive for measures, builds and warranty visits. Alvin permits for this work go through the City of Alvin, or Brazoria County for unincorporated tracts, and we file them for you.

    What makes a wood pergola last in Alvin's soil and weather?

    Anchored posts, braced connections, deliberate rafter spacing and weather-ready finishes create shade that stays stable in Gulf Coast conditions. We also account for Alvin's heat, humidity, heavy rain and soil movement when selecting materials and connections. Alvin properties are typically in-town older homes mixed with one-to-twenty acre tracts, which changes how we detail the build.

    Do you handle Alvin HOA and permit requirements?

    Many Alvin properties exceed 1 acre, requiring long fence runs where material cost per foot becomes the primary budget driver. We pull the specs for your Alvin neighborhood before we quote so your wood pergola is approved the first time. Alvin's Brazoria County soil is rich black clay — excellent for farming but challenging for fence posts without steel and concrete anchoring.

    What wood is best for a pergola in Texas?

    Western red cedar is the top choice for Texas pergolas — it naturally resists rot, insects, and UV damage. Pressure-treated pine is the most affordable option. Ipe and tropical hardwoods offer the longest lifespan at a premium price. Alvin's mix of suburban homes and rural acreage creates demand for both privacy fencing and functional ranch fencing with pipe and no-climb wire.

    How long does a wood pergola last in Alvin?

    A well-maintained cedar pergola lasts 15–25 years in Alvin's climate. Pressure-treated pine averages 10–15 years. Ipe and hardwood pergolas can last 30+ years with minimal maintenance. Most of the Alvin jobs we quote come off Highway 6 and Highway 35.

    Can you attach a pergola to my house?

    Yes. We build both attached pergolas (connected to your home's fascia or wall) and freestanding pergolas. Attached pergolas require proper ledger board installation and flashing to prevent water intrusion. Every number we give a Alvin homeowner comes after an in-person measure, never over the phone.
