Edwardsville, IL

Why Edwardsville homeowners call us

A roof changes how much you use the backyard.

Edwardsville is home base for Threshold Builders - our crew lives here, our trucks are parked here, and more of our projects go in within a few miles of downtown than anywhere else. A pergola or covered patio roughly doubles the evenings a Edwardsville backyard actually gets used - shade in July, cover in a pop-up storm, and a defined room that makes furniture, lighting and a fan possible.

We build across all of Edwardsville - century-old homes in Leclaire and Grandview, lake lots around Dunlap Lake, and newer subdivisions off Governors’ Parkway and Route 157. Every structure is engineered to match the house: roof pitch and shingles carried over on covered patios, cedar sized generously on pergolas, posts on concrete footings poured below the Madison County frost line - never deck blocks.

The most requested Edwardsville build we quote is a gable-roof covered patio with a ceiling fan and lighting, tied visually into the home’s roofline.

Covered structures in Edwardsville

Every way to put a roof over Edwardsville outdoor living.

Cedar pergolas

Generously-sized rough-sawn cedar with clean joinery - shade and structure that looks intentional, not kit-built.

Gable & shed-roof covered patios

Real roofs with shingles matched to the house, vented and flashed correctly where they meet the home.

Pavilions

Freestanding rooms in the yard - vaulted ceilings, fans, lighting, and space for a full outdoor kitchen or dining table.

Attached patio covers

Ledger-mounted covers engineered into the home’s structure - not screwed to fascia and hoped for.

Lighting, fans & screens

Wiring runs planned with the structure: dimmable lighting, ceiling fans, and screened openings where bugs are the enemy.

Deck + pergola combinations

Designed as one structure with one crew and one warranty - not a pergola bolted onto a deck later.

Covered structure questions from Edwardsville homeowners

Real questions we answer at Edwardsville walkthroughs.

Do I need a permit for a pergola or covered patio in Edwardsville, IL?

Yes - covered structures need a building permit from the City of Edwardsville, including plan review and inspections. We prepare drawings, submit, and meet the inspector - it’s part of every quote.

How much does a covered patio cost in Edwardsville?

Most gable-roof covered patios we build in Edwardsville land between $18,000 and $40,000 depending on size and electrical scope. Cedar pergolas run $6,000 to $14,000, and full pavilions $25,000 to $60,000. Every quote is itemized.

Attached to the house or freestanding - which is right?

Attached covers flow straight off the back door and share the home’s roofline; freestanding pavilions define a separate room deeper in the yard. Lot shape, door height and roof pitch usually make the decision - we walk both options at the free walkthrough.

Will it match my house?

That’s the difference between a structure and a kit. We match roof pitch, carry over shingle color, size posts to the home’s scale, and stain cedar to sit naturally against your siding and trim.

How long does the build take?

Once the permit is approved, most Edwardsville pergolas go up in under a week and covered patios in one to two weeks. Footings are poured first and inspected before framing - we give you the schedule before we start.

Can you add a roof over my existing patio or deck?

Often, yes. We evaluate whether the existing slab or deck framing can carry the structure - covered patios need real footings, so we core through and pour them properly rather than resting posts on a slab that was never designed for the load.
