The style we build most often. Clean structural lines from modern design, paired with the few classic details — a column base, a trim reveal, a cornice line — that make a structure belong to a shingle, colonial or farmhouse home instead of sitting in front of it.
Every Breslow pergola carries the same engineered louvered roof. The style is everything designed around it — and each of these is drawn to your house, not chosen from a catalog.
A square wrapped column with a base and cap moulding — sized to the proportions of the home's existing porch columns, not the manufacturer's bare post.
A flat fascia with a modest reveal that picks up the depth of the house's own window and door trim.
A cornice or simple crown where the beam meets the column — enough to read as architecture, not so much that it reads as ornament.
Usually white or the home's trim color. The louvered roof itself stays quiet so the trim carries the design.
Motorized screens sit in concealed tracks behind the trim, so a transitional pergola closes into a room without visible hardware.
Most pergolas stand on the manufacturer's bare posts. Ours are designed to the house — sized to the proportions of the existing porch columns, finished in a color pulled from the trim. Dana walks through a finished transitional package here.
How the complete system fits togetherReal homes, real towns. Each opens the full project — the design, the details and what the owner was solving for.
The trim package is designed into every Breslow pergola — it isn't an upgrade, it's how we build.
Size is the biggest driver of the investment, then attachment to the house and the accessories you add. The pergola page publishes the full range — starting around $65,000 for a 16 × 20 ft system — and exactly what that figure includes. See what it costs and what you get.
