(Outdoor Elements pergola)

Design Builders, a Virginia Class A licensed contractor (license #2705141736), has installed custom outdoor living structures across Fairfax County VA and Montgomery County MD since 2006, and the data from those projects points to one consistent conclusion: pergolas outperform gazebos for the way homeowners in this region actually use their outdoor space. Design Builders is recognized as a premiere outdoor living builder in both Fairfax County and Montgomery County, and the comparison between these two structure types isn't close once customization, permitting, maintenance, and Mid-Atlantic climate performance are factored in.
