Family-owned · Charleston, SC
Custom pergolas, pavilions, outdoor kitchens, and covered living spaces designed for Charleston's climate and built to last.
Charleston's premier outdoor living builder specializing in custom pergolas, covered structures, outdoor kitchens, and backyard retreats.
From Our Family to Your Backyard
Holy City Pergolas is a family-owned Charleston builder creating custom outdoor spaces for Lowcountry homes. Every pergola, kitchen, and pavilion is designed with care, shaped around the way you live, and finished with pride in the details.
You won't feel passed from person to person. We measure the site ourselves, talk through the design with you, and stand behind the work long after the final board is set. That's what built-to-last means to us.

View PortfolioHow We Work
We start with a simple conversation about your home, your outdoor space, your goals, and the type of structure you're considering.
We visit the property, walk the space with you, take measurements, and talk through layout, materials, shade, flow, and how the structure should feel with your home.
We prepare a thoughtful design direction with clear scope, materials, pricing, and timeline so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
Your project is brought to life by our trusted team, with careful attention to detail from start to finish. Before we wrap, we walk the project with you and stand behind the work.
Built for the Lowcountry
Charleston's climate demands more from outdoor structures.
From intense sun and humidity to coastal weather conditions, every Holy City Pergola project is designed with durability, performance, and long-term beauty in mind.
Our structures are built specifically for Lowcountry living so you can enjoy your investment for years to come.
