Designing a Pergola Attached to Your House

Blending comfort, shade, and architectural style, a pergola installed alongside your home can completely transform your exterior space. Whether you’re shading a backyard patio, defining a front entry, or expanding your outdoor kitchen area, an attached patio cover creates a seamless flow between indoors and out.

But not all pergolas are built the same. The success of a house-attached pergola depends on expert design, premium materials, and precision installation. That’s where Mulholland Brand leads the industry.

Why Homeowners Love Pergolas Attached to the House

The appeal of a wall-mounted pergola goes beyond aesthetics. By connecting the structure to your home’s exterior wall, you reduce the need for support posts and create a more integrated design. This layout is ideal for:

• Creating a shaded transition zone from indoors to outdoors

• Covering a back patio, outdoor kitchen, or deck

• Framing views or enhancing curb appeal on the front of your house

This configuration also opens up practical benefits—like increased shade, energy efficiency (by reducing direct sun exposure), and added resale value.

How to Attach a Pergola to a House (The Right Way)

There are several ways to attach a pergola to your home, depending on your structure and design goals. At Mulholland, our experts evaluate every project to determine the ideal mounting method—whether that means ledger-board anchoring, structural wall brackets, or integrated flashing to protect your home’s envelope.

Unlike DIY kits or basic aluminum canopies, our pergolas are engineered for structural integrity. Every installation is carefully measured and reinforced to withstand sun, wind, and the unique architectural conditions of your home.

Custom Design with Aluminum and Wood-Look Finishes

Our primary material of choice is high-grade aluminum, known for its strength, low maintenance, and modern aesthetic. But for those who want a warmer or more natural appearance, we also offer wood-grain aluminum finishes—giving you the beauty of real wood with none of the upkeep.

Whether you envision a modern pergola attached to your house, a minimalist flat-roof design, or something more decorative, we tailor every build to your style.

Mulholland’s customizations include:

• Louvered roof panels

• Integrated lighting

• Side screens for privacy

• Matching gates, fences, or railing systems
