Pavilions built for Long Island

A pergola has an open lattice or rafter roof — shade but not full weather protection. A pavilion has a solid roof (shingles, metal panels, or polycarbonate), so it fully blocks rain. If you want to use your outdoor space year-round and in any weather, a pavilion is the right structure.

Yes, and this is one of the most popular uses. We can size and design the pavilion around your kitchen layout — grill island, sink, refrigerator, and counter space. We pre-run electric conduit and handle the structural requirements for a gas line rough-in during the build.

Yes — pavilions with solid roofs on permanent foundations require a building permit in all Nassau and Suffolk municipalities. We handle the full permit application including architectural drawings, municipality filing, and follow-up. Cost included in your estimate.

An open pavilion takes 3–5 days. A screened pavilion takes 4–7 days depending on size and complexity. Concrete footing cure time (24–48 hours) is in addition to build time.

The most common choices are architectural shingles (matching your home), standing-seam metal (clean modern look, extremely durable), and corrugated polycarbonate panels (lets in diffused light, rain-proof). We walk through options with photos and samples during the estimate.

Yes — if you have an existing open pavilion that's structurally sound, we can add a screen system. We use EZ Screen, Phantom Screens, or standard fiberglass screen framing depending on your budget and how often you'll open/close.
