Looking to elevate your outdoor space and actually use it year-round? A custom-built pergola might be exactly what your home—and family—needs. At Prime Handyman Services, we specialize in building pergolas that are as practical as they are beautiful, with quality craftsmanship and a deep understanding of what families are looking for in a home upgrade.

Here are 6 reasons a pergola is the perfect addition to your home:

1. Enjoy Fresh Air Without the Harsh Sun

On a hot summer afternoon, there’s nothing like being outside—unless you're baking in the sun. A pergola gives you shade and comfort so you can enjoy your backyard, host guests, or just drink your coffee in peace. Add an outdoor ceiling fan and it’s perfect for creating a cooler environment.

2. Have a Beautiful, Ready-Made Sukkah

Imagine not having to schlep and build from scratch every year. With a pergola in your yard, you’ve already got a sturdy, beautiful frame for your sukkah. Just add schach and kosher walls, and you’re ready for the chag. There is another option to have ready-built-in schach which provides shade all year and serves as schach for Sukkot.

3. Boost Your Home’s Value and Curb Appeal

A pergola adds instant charm and elegance to your outdoor space. It’s a real architectural upgrade that can increase your home’s value and make it stand out—plus it just feels good to walk into a home that’s well cared for and thoughtfully designed.

4. Create a Year-Round Usable Space

Winter doesn’t have to mean hiding indoors. With a pergola and a weather-resistant tarp or removable canopy, you can still enjoy your porch or patio even when it’s raining. Add a patio heater and it’s perfect for a cozy winter evening under the stars.

5. Keep Your Porch Clean and Protected

Covered outdoor spaces don’t just look great—they also help cut down on mess. A pergola helps protect your furniture from bird droppings, falling leaves, and harsh weather, so you spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying.

6. Make Space for Hosting and Family Time

In Jewish homes, hospitality is a core value. A pergola creates an intentional, welcoming space for meals, playtime, learning, or just hanging out together. It turns a plain backyard into a functional extension of your home.
