Pergolas and Shade Structures by Beyond Blue Group

A well-built pergola changes how a backyard feels. It defines a place to gather, frames the views around it, and turns a sun-drenched patio into a comfortable retreat that gets used twice as often. With a motorized louvered roof, the same structure shifts from open sky at lunch to full coverage by dinner, all without leaving your seat.

Beyond Blue designs and builds custom pergolas and shade structures that integrate seamlessly with the home and the outdoor space around it. From traditional fixed-roof pergolas to motorized louvered systems, our in-house team handles design, engineering, and installation so every structure looks intentional and performs reliably for decades.

  • Premium motorized systems for on-demand shade

What Pergolas and Shade Structures Actually Involve

A pergola or shade structure is a custom-built outdoor architectural element that defines a space, frames the view, and protects from sun, rain, and the elements. Modern designs range from traditional fixed-roof pergolas to motorized louvered systems that adjust shade and airflow on demand, allowing the same structure to serve a sunny lunch and a covered dinner on the same day.

At Beyond Blue, every pergola and shade structure is designed and built to integrate with the home and the surrounding outdoor environment. Our in-house team handles design, engineering, and installation, so the finished structure looks intentional, performs reliably, and holds up to every Midwest season.

What’s included

What's Included in a Custom Pergola or Shade Structure

  1. 01 Louvered Roof Pergolas Motorized louvered pergolas adjust on demand, opening fully for sunlight, closing tight for rain, or angling to redirect airflow and shade. These systems offer the flexibility of a covered space when you need it and an open sky when you do not, all controlled at the touch of a button.
  2. 02 Fixed-Roof Pergolas and Pavilions For homeowners who want a more traditional architectural element, we design and build fixed-roof pergolas and pavilions in wood, aluminum, or composite. Each structure is shaped to suit the home and built to last for decades.
  3. 03 Retractable Shade Systems Retractable canopies, screens, and shade systems can be integrated into pergolas or installed as standalone solutions. These systems give you on-demand control of sunlight and weather protection without the visual weight of a permanent roof.
  4. 04 Integrated Lighting and Fans We integrate ambient lighting, ceiling fans, and accent fixtures directly into pergola structures during the build. Wiring, mounting, and finishes are handled as part of the project rather than added later.
  5. 05 Heating, Climate, and Comfort Features Outdoor heaters, fireplaces, and climate features can be integrated into a pergola design to extend the seasons and the hours of comfortable use. Each feature is selected to match the structure and the way you intend to use the space.
  6. 06 Architectural Integration Every pergola we build is designed to align with the lines, materials, and character of your home. Roof profile, column style, color, and finish are all selected so the structure reads as part of the original architecture rather than as a freestanding addition.

How it works

What Our Pergola and Shade Structure Process Looks Like

01/ 05

Start your project
  1. 01 — Stage

    Consultation and Use-Case Discussion

    We begin by understanding how you plan to use the space. Outdoor dining, poolside lounging, year-round entertaining, or a defined garden retreat: each of these shapes the structure type, size, and features from the start.

  2. 02 — Stage

    Site Evaluation and Architecture Match

    Our team walks the property to evaluate the existing home, the outdoor space, and how the structure will tie into the surrounding architecture. We then develop a design that complements the home rather than competing with it.

  3. 03 — Stage

    Design and 3D Visualization

    We render the pergola or shade structure in scaled 3D so you can see how it will sit in the landscape, how it will frame the surrounding views, and how it will look at different times of day before any commitment.

  4. 04 — Stage

    Engineering, Permits, and Material Selection

    Once the design is approved, we finalize structural engineering, secure permits, and confirm material selections. Frame, roof, motor, and finish specifications are documented in writing before construction begins.

  5. 05 — Stage

    Construction, Installation, and Final Walkthrough

    Our in-house team handles every phase of the build, including framing, roof and louver installation, lighting, fans, and finish work. We complete a final walkthrough so you know exactly how to operate every feature, including any motorized systems.

Why Beyond Blue

Why Homeowners Choose Beyond Blue for Pergolas and Shade Structures

A great pergola does more than provide shade. It defines a space, frames a view, and shapes how the entire backyard is experienced. Building one well takes design experience, structural rigor, and a team that handles every part of the project. Beyond Blue brings all of that to every build.

Design and Build Under One Roof

The team that designs your pergola is the same team that builds it. We are accountable from the first concept to the final walkthrough, with no fragmented subcontractor handoffs and no surprises at the end of the project.

Premium Louvered Roof Systems

We install professional-grade motorized louvered roof systems that operate quietly, reliably, and on demand. These systems give you full control of shade, airflow, and weather protection at the touch of a button.

Architectural Integration

Every pergola we build is shaped to align with the lines, materials, and character of the home. Column style, roof profile, color, and finish are coordinated so the structure looks like part of the original architecture, not a later addition.

A Decade-Plus of Midwest Experience

Since 2012, we have been designing and building pergolas across Kansas City, Omaha, the Lake of the Ozarks, and Columbia. We understand how local wind, sun exposure, and seasonal extremes affect structure performance over time.

Clear, Collaborative Communication

You will always know what is happening on your project, when, and why. Decisions are made together, timelines are honored, and expectations are documented in writing rather than left to verbal exchange.

Built for the Long Run

Our pergolas and shade structures are designed for owners who plan to stay on their property and enjoy it for years. Every structural and material decision is made for thirty-year performance rather than for a quick install or a finished photograph.

What our
clients say

Of all the contractors I have ever dealt with, Beyond Blue Outdoor Group has been the only one I would not hesitate to promote to my closest friends. Beyond Blue’s BEAUTIFUL rock hardscape around our pool has truly been the focal point of our back yard and we could not be more proud. Their crew was on time every day, kept a clean jobsite and was extremely easy to work with. My wife and I have had our fair share of bad contractor experiences, so it’s refreshing to know that there are still honest ones out there. Thank you.
Jeremy M. Blue Springs
We installed these huge sliding doors in our new home and then realize you can never leave them open because in Missouri you have bugs! Our new screen has changed that, along with giving us some shade at certain times of the day. We have nothing but praise from start to finish with Dylan and Beyond Blue.
Russell, C. Retractable screens
We struggled to get even a response from other shade companies. Dylan not only answered the phone but was at my house the next day. I’ve had power screens before (shadeworks), the experience with Dylan and the beyond blue team and the product blew us away. Shades are gorgeous, project done on time and budget, and the install was very professional and nice to work with. I’m a big fan on the product, the company, and Dylan; Two thumbs up from us!
Everett, W. Retractable screens
I got this lead from a good friend of mine who recently had screens installed at his house so I reached out to Dylan to replace my existing screen and to add two more. His follow through and communication were very good, installation was perfect and so far, we are very happy With the product. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to add outdoor screens to their patio or lanai.
Acten, D. Retractable screens
We had motorized screens installed on our back patio and the finished product was better than I could have imagined. They blend in nicely with our house and give us the option to have them up or down depending on the time of day. We worked with Ryan Salyer and he was great during the entire process and made sure everything was perfect and to our liking before accepting our final payment. We have already had lots of neighbors comment on how cool and nice they look. Would highly recommend Ryan and Beyond Blue Group!
Walsh, B. Retractable screens
Have to share the amazing experience we had with the install of our motorized screen! Ted was such a great person to work with, and once our order was in he managed to get us our screen installed for a family reunion we were having even though they had multiple projects going. Ted and Manuel did a wonderful job installing the screen and we are already trying to work the other sides into the budget!!! 5 stars truly is not enough for these 2 any how pleased we are with our purchase, if you are even thinking about motorized screens in the Omaha area you need to contact this team!!

FAQ

Frequently asked
questions

A black louvered roof pergola beside a pool
What is the difference between a pergola, a pavilion, and a louvered roof?
A traditional pergola has an open or partially open roof, often with rafters or beams that filter sunlight. A pavilion has a fully solid roof, providing complete protection from rain and sun. A louvered roof system uses adjustable louvers that open for sun, close for rain, and angle for airflow. Each option offers a different balance of openness, protection, and architectural feel.
How long does a pergola or shade structure take to build?
Most pergola and shade structure projects run 4 to 12 weeks from design approval to final installation, depending on size, complexity, materials, and permitting. Motorized louvered systems and integrated lighting can extend the timeline slightly. We provide a detailed schedule before construction begins so there are no surprises along the way.
How much does a custom pergola cost?
Pergola pricing varies based on size, materials, structural requirements, and integrated features such as motorized louvers, lighting, fans, and heating. After your consultation, we prepare a detailed scope and proposal so that you can plan with full clarity. We do not quote ranges over the phone, since every project is different and we prefer to provide accurate numbers rather than vague estimates.
Can a pergola be attached to my home or built freestanding?
Both options are common. Attached pergolas extend directly off the home, integrating with the existing roofline or wall. Freestanding pergolas can be placed anywhere on the property, often over a patio or pool deck. We help you choose the configuration that works best for your site, your home, and how you plan to use the space.
Are louvered roof systems worth the additional investment?
For most homeowners who want year-round usability, yes. A louvered roof gives you a fully covered space when you need it and an open-sky pergola when you do not, all from a single structure. The flexibility tends to translate into more time spent outdoors than a fixed-roof structure provides.
Do I need permits, and will you handle them?
Yes. Most pergola and shade structure projects require structural and electrical permits. We handle all permitting as part of the project, so you do not need to navigate the process on your own.
What kind of warranty comes with a Beyond Blue pergola?
We provide structural and finish warranties tailored to your specific build. Motorized louver systems and electrical components also carry warranties from their respective manufacturers. Full details are reviewed during your consultation and outlined in your project agreement.
