Outdoor Living Spaces in Slidell, LA – Patios, Pergolas, Gazebos & More with Slidell Gutters And Decks

Yes. In most cases, St. Tammany Parish requires permits for structures such as pergolas, gazebos, patio covers, and sunrooms. These permits ensure your project follows local building codes and safety regulations. Skipping this step can lead to fines or complications if you decide to sell your home. The good news? Our team handles the permitting process from start to finish, so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork. Whether you’re adding a pergola

 for shade, a gazebo

 for family gatherings, or a full sunroom

 to enjoy year-round, we’ll make sure your project is fully approved and ready to build.

The cost depends on the size of the structure, materials used, and custom features. A simple pergola installation

 is usually one of the most affordable upgrades, while sunrooms

 and glass rooms are premium options that offer extended living space year-round. Gazebos

 and patio covers

 fall in between, offering great value for families who entertain outdoors. Because every home is different, we provide free estimates tailored to your property and design goals. This way, you’ll know exactly what your outdoor project will cost before we begin.

A pergola is an open-roof structure designed to add partial shade and a decorative touch to your outdoor space, while a gazebo is fully covered, providing more protection from Louisiana’s sun and rain. Pergolas are perfect for gardens, walkways, or patios where you want airflow and filtered light, while gazebos are ideal for sitting areas and outdoor dining. Both can be customized with lighting, retractable covers, or even retractable screens

 for added comfort. Still unsure which fits your backyard best? Explore our pergola services

The timeline depends on the size and type of structure. A simple pergola

 or patio cover

 can often be installed in just a few days, while larger projects like sunrooms

 or custom gazebos

 may take several weeks. Weather, permitting, and material availability can also affect the schedule. At Slidell Gutters & Patios, we provide you with a clear project timeline before work begins so you know exactly what to expect.

Retractable screens

 and screened patios

 allow you to enjoy the outdoors without the downsides of Louisiana living — like mosquitoes, gnats, and intense sunlight. Screens provide shade, reduce heat, and block pests while still letting you feel the breeze. Retractable options give you flexibility: roll them down when you need protection and retract them when you want a wide-open view. This makes them a popular choice for homeowners who love hosting outdoor gatherings year-round.

Yes. Outdoor living upgrades are one of the best ways to increase both your home’s functionality and resale value. A custom deck or patio

 adds usable square footage, pergolas

 and gazebos

 improve curb appeal, and sunrooms

 can boost property value significantly. Buyers in South Louisiana love outdoor spaces that let them enjoy the climate comfortably, making these projects a smart investment in both your lifestyle and your home’s future market value.
