Custom Pavilion Construction in the Charlotte, North Carolina, Area

A pavilion is a timeless addition to any outdoor area. Pavilions feature closed roofs, which make them ideal for UV protection from sunny North Carolina skies. A pavilion’s roof also ensures that a little rain or snow doesn’t put a damper on your gathering.

Some want a small, personal pavilion. Others prefer a pavilion they can outfit with chairs and tables and use as a sizable dining or entertaining area for events or get-togethers. Pavilions are also ideal spaces to snap eye-catching selfies or family photos.

Pavilions can be tailored for:

  • Poolside Lounging with shade plus space for furniture
  • Al-Fresco Dining with room for long tables or outdoor kitchens
  • Entertainment Zones with fans, mounted TVs, lighting, and decor

Additionally, certain homeowners view completed outdoor pavilions in Charlotte, NC, as smart ways to potentially boost the resale value of their homes.

How Is a Pavilion Different from a Gazebo or Pergola?

A gazebo is a decorative, partially enclosed structure, and a pergola offers light, filtered shade through open beams. A pavilion, on the other hand, is a fully roofed covered outdoor living space built for year-round comfort, durability, and design flexibility.

For most homeowners (especially those planning backyard pavilion installation or seeking a long-lasting upgrade from custom pavilion builders), a pavilion provides the best combination of full shade, protection from Carolina weather, and room for outdoor kitchens, dining, or entertainment.

How Our Custom Pavilion Builders Work

The Conversation

Whether you need brand-new pavilion construction or renovations to your current structure, Charlotte Deck Builders is the company to call. From our first consultation to finishing construction on your new pavilion, you’ll always stay informed about your outdoor pavilion, whether in Charlotte, NC, or the surrounding areas, never feeling unsure about what happens next.

The Preparation

Our initial consultation lets us learn what you want from a new pavilion, which may include certain colors, styles, or how you plan on using it. Once we understand your pavilion design goals and specifications, we gather the materials for your project and begin the pavilion construction process.

The Result

Charlotte Deck Builders has over 15 years of experience completing luxury hardscaping projects throughout Charlotte and the surrounding area. We proudly stand behind our luxury outdoor structures during every project by offering warranties on our labor. Our custom pavilion builders will also let you know about material and manufacturer warranties for additional peace of mind.

Superior Pavilion Construction Materials

There’s nothing more important to a backyard pavilion installation than choosing materials that hold up to Carolina weather while keeping maintenance low. Unlike decks, pavilions are not built from composite materials. Instead, they rely on strong structural wood and optional finishing wraps that improve durability and appearance.

Our custom pavilion builders typically construct outdoor pavilions using:

  • Standard Wood Framing for a cost-effective, durable structural base
  • Heavy Timber Framing for a more substantial, architectural look
  • PVC-Wrapped Columns and Beams to reduce long-term maintenance needs
  • Shingle or Metal Roofing Options based on your style and weather-resilience preferences

Using high-quality structural lumber and optional protective wraps ensures your pavilion can withstand East Coast sun, humidity, and seasonal storms. Whether you prefer a traditional wood look or a sleeker wrapped finish, we select materials that keep your pavilion construction strong, stable, and as low-maintenance as possible.

We have been steadily repairing an aging house and have had about 15 different service companies on our property in a year. The gentlemen who repaired and rebuilt our deck and replaced the siding are genuinely a head above the rest. They were very clear with communication, exceeded expectations on the job, and were even more affordable than the other quotes we received. I would 100% recommend them to anyone and will not use anyone else for exterior contractor work.

E&S were very professional in their approach and service. They did everything they said they would do. The craftsmanship is impeccable and their price is fair for the level of service provided which is exceptional

Tyler O. New Windows

I contracted E&S to remove my garage door and turn my garage into a game room. They exceeded my expectations on many levels. The first day I didn't know if I was going to come home to nothing started, a hole in my wall from the garage door removal, or a partially framed wall. Instead I came home to a completed wall with the door installed. Then an electrician did all the electrical work, then came the sheetrock guys, then the guys for the hardwood floors, then the painters and lastly the finishers. The room looks great and I could not be happier. One thing that really stood out is how responsive they were throughout the project.

I am please to write a review for the work that Eddy Lima did on my house. He is a very talent craftsman. He can do any job big or small. Over a ten year period he has gutted a 1960 master bathroom into a beautiful bathroom with large whirlpool bath, large walk in shower, custom cabinets, stone tile flooring. in addition he designed a guest bathroom and put in a coat closet. He shored up a ceiling that was sinking. Gutted the kitchen and installed a brand new kitchen and great room in the back of the house. Finally he put up new siding and finished off a two car garage with new wallboard and wall cabinets. I have always been impressed with his work.

Diego, Eddie, Lester and crew did an amazing job on our major deck and porch rebuild. The quality of the craftsmanship is top notch and the attention detail is above and beyond expectations. They communicated along the way, Lester was on the site almost everyday making sure everyone was on the same page and handling details of the project. You will not find a better team to work with in my opinion and we will definitely be using them for any future projects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Pavilion costs vary based on the size, materials, roofing style, and whether the structure is part of a larger outdoor build (paired with a deck or outdoor kitchen). Most homeowners who invest in pavilion builds choose mid- to high-budget projects designed to last for decades.

It depends. If you plan to host guests often or want dependable shade and weather protection, a pavilion is generally what you’ll want. Pergolas are beautifully stylish and provide partial cover, but pavilions are typically better suited for year-round use. Pavilions are fully covered outdoor living spaces that also usually offer more room for seating and additional features, such as lighting, mounted TVs, and fans.
