Decks & Pergolas
Decks & Pergolas Built Around the Way You Live
Covenant Renovation builds custom outdoor structures that give homeowners more room to relax, entertain, gather, and enjoy their property.
What we build
One craft, many kinds of structures
Every project below is custom outdoor carpentry — framed, fastened, and finished the same careful way, whether it's a deck off the back door or a pergola over the patio.
Custom Decks
A deck designed around your yard, your grade, and how you actually use the back of the house — single level, multi-level, or wrapped around a corner.
Deck Replacements
When boards are cupping, framing is soft, or railings feel loose, we rebuild the structure properly instead of patching over problems.
Deck Extensions
Already have a deck that's just a little too small? We extend the footprint, add landings, stairs, or a second level to fit more of your life outside.
Pergolas
Shade and definition over a deck, patio, or seating area — built as a real structure with posts, beams, and connections detailed to last.
Custom Outdoor Wood Structures
Pavilions, covered seating, privacy screens, storage structures, and fencing with gates — plus custom projects like treehouses and play structures when the site is right.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
What materials do you build decks with?
We build with pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and composite decking. Which one makes sense depends on your budget, the look you want, and how much maintenance you'd like to take on. We'll walk through the options during your estimate.
Can you replace just the deck boards, or does the whole deck need to go?
It depends on the condition of the framing and footings underneath. If the structure is sound, re-decking is often an option. If it isn't, we'll show you what we're seeing and explain why.
How long does a deck or pergola project take?
Timelines vary with size, design, materials, and weather. We give you a realistic schedule for your specific project before work starts rather than a blanket estimate.
Do these projects need a permit?
Permit requirements vary by city and county across the Birmingham metro, and by the size and type of structure. We'll talk through what your specific project and jurisdiction require.
What does a deck or pergola cost?
Cost depends on size, height, materials, railing, stairs, and site conditions. We don't quote generic prices — we'll give you a free written estimate for your project.
Do you also build fences?
Yes. Privacy, picket, and custom fencing with gates is part of the outdoor carpentry we do, and it's often built alongside a deck or pergola project.
Do you work outside Birmingham?
We serve homeowners across the Birmingham metro, including Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, Homewood, Trussville, and surrounding communities.
