Pavilions and Pool Houses

Pavilions and pool houses add both function and architectural presence to an outdoor environment. These structures provide shade, shelter, storage, and gathering space while enhancing the overall flow of your backyard. Our team designs custom pavilions and pool houses that complement your home’s architecture and support how you plan to use the space, whether for entertaining, relaxing, or hosting poolside amenities. From simple open-air pavilions to fully enclosed pool houses with utilities, we manage every aspect of design and construction.

At DiSabatino Design Build, our pergolas are custom designed to suit your property and lifestyle, with material selections, proportions, and detailing tailored to your home. The result is a timeless structure that enhances both shade and style.

What Our Clients Say

“The finished project is incredible and surpassed our expectations. Everyone that we spoke to has listened to our concerns and made the recommendations and adjustments. This trend started from the top with Chris DiSabatino but followed through with Shawn Langford and the crew we met on site such as Jose and Alex. Jose who spent most of the time here working on the project managed to get our opinion if we were around and explained the process. It was not us being obtrusive but him being proactive. A nice gesture in this day and age. You know a project is done right when your neighbors compliment the work!”
