Hollywood Elite Patio Covers provides professional pergola installation in Hollywood, FL for residential and commercial properties across the Broward–Miami-Dade coastal corridor. An attached pergola in Hollywood is engineered like anything else that bolts to your house. Open rafters catch less wind than a solid roof, but the connection at the wall still has to be drawn, sealed and inspected the same way.
That wall connection is where attached pergolas fail. Most homes here are concrete block with a tie beam at the top of the wall, and a ledger belongs in that beam with anchors at a documented embedment depth. Anchored into stucco, or into the wood fascia of a low-slope roof, it will pull out. We locate the beam before the design is finalized.
There is a good argument for staying off the house entirely. A freestanding frame set a foot away avoids the ledger, avoids the flashing detail, and keeps water out of the wall in a city that takes sixty-plus inches of rain a year. It costs two more posts and it solves several problems at once.
Aluminum is the sensible frame here for the same reasons it wins everywhere else in south Florida. It will not rot at the rafter tails, termites ignore it, and a baked powder coat holds its finish through summers that destroy stained timber. The wood-grain finishes cover the aesthetic argument for most people.
Rafter spacing decides how it actually performs. Tight spacing with deeper sections gives real shade at midday but reads heavy from below. Wider spacing keeps it airy and gives you pattern rather than shelter. Run the rafters perpendicular to the afternoon sun rather than parallel to the house, which is the mistake we see most.
Think about what goes on it before we build it, not after. Fan boxes, downlights, a heater, a future retractable canopy and a shade cloth track all want blocking and conduit inside the beams. Adding any of that to a finished pergola means drilling extrusion that was closed for a reason, and it never looks as clean.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 0.040-inch minimum extrusion wall thickness, HVHZ-listed Florida Product Approval numbers, Table 2002.4 design pressure schedules, 300-pound concentrated member load checks, Risk Category I ultimate wind speeds, self-tapping screw boss connections — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Hollywood and nearby communities including Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, Pembroke Park, West Park.

Materials, equipment and how we do pergola installation
The difference between pergola installation that lasts and pergola installation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with 0.040-inch minimum extrusion wall thickness, HVHZ-listed Florida Product Approval numbers, Table 2002.4 design pressure schedules, 300-pound concentrated member load checks, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Hollywood job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of patio cover work in the Broward–Miami-Dade coastal corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
