GAZEBOS
Metal-roofed and IPE-trimmed gazebos that anchor your pier and shade your view — coastal NC from Hampstead to Carolina Beach, plus freshwater-lake builds inland.
THE CHALLENGE
Most "kit" gazebos blow away in the first 70-knot squall. A real waterfront gazebo is framed like a house and bolted to pilings.
MATERIALS WE USE
WHAT'S INCLUDED
HOW WE BUILD GAZEBOS
We measure the pier, check piling spacing, and lay out the gazebo to your view.
We sketch the roof pitch, post style, and rail detail before any saw runs.
Posts go up first, then the roof rafters, then the metal roof and ridge cap.
IPE rails, cedar trim, or pressure-treated finish work — your call.
We test every rail, vacuum the roof, and hand you the wiring diagram if applicable.
PRICING & TIMELINE
Free site evaluation. Most waterfront gazebos fall in the $9,000 – $28,000 range, plus electrical if included.

Mark and his crew did a fantastic job on a complex project involving multiple piers and gazebos. Great craftsmanship. Stayed on the job till it was completed. Highly recommend them for your pier, dock, or bulkhead projects.
Mark and Family Crew replaced our 4 year old wood pergola with a Modern Owens Corning Composite Material one in just a few days. We could not be more happy about how it looks and how it was done. They do high quality work and cleanup as they go.
VERY, VERY happy customer! If there were ten stars to grade them, I would rate their product a 10! Superb workmanship on a complicated custom dock. Excellent customer service and responsiveness. Ethical business that exceeded every expectation.
OUR APPROACH
Every gazebo we frame uses Simpson hurricane straps at every rafter-to-post connection and metal-roof panels rated for 130 mph. Kit gazebos skip these connections — ours are bolted to refusal-driven pilings and framed to survive direct squalls.

FROM THE FOUNDER
Gazebos done right is invisible — it just works through the next storm and the next ten tides. That's the standard.
