Desert Shade Structures

We had an incredible experience with Desert Shade Structures and couldn’t be happier with our new pergola and structures. From design to final installation, the process was seamless. Todd, the owner, was a pleasure to work with. He listened to exactly what we wanted and designed the perfect pergola for our space. He also designed matching structures to cover our pool equipment and AC Units, which really cleaned up the look of our yard. Todd was extremely accommodating with our schedule—he even came out on his day off. A huge shoutout to Tina, who coordinated the installation for us. She was incredibly friendly and kept us informed every step of the way, so we never had to wonder about the schedule or what to expect. It’s rare to find that level of consistent communication! Regarding the cost, Desert Shades was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive quote we received. They sit right in that 'middle ground' where you get exceptional value for the high quality of work and materials provided. You truly get what you pay for with them. The installation crew was professional, efficient and did a wonderful job with set up and clean up. If you want a company that provides personal attention, custom designs, and a stress-free experience, go with Desert Shade Structures!

Had a large Gazebo installed by Desert Shade Structures in October 2026. Estimate from done by the owner Todd was pretty straight forward on his site visit and price quoted was reasonable. Had to get a building permit due to the size so that added some extra cost. Permit came back fast and my HOA approval so they scheduled the project. Project moved as expected but with delays due to the county inspector scheduling and once the inspector didn't show up which is not Desert Structures fault but the county. The on-site team Roberto and Armando worked hard, professional and were very nice. It was alot of work when the footer holes had to be 37"x37"x37" per the engineering designs which is a lot of work in this type of hard ground. On the actual Gazebo install Cam and Armando showed up at 6:30am and got it up in half a day and were awesome as well. They had to come back after the county inspector did the final inspection to install the roof attachment bolt hole plugs and seal the top roof attachment screws that were left open to be visible for the county inspectors final inspection. Overall great job on our project they did for us and it looks awesome. Also the manufacturing company they purchased the Gazebo from was Duralum here in Phoenix has a lifetime warranty on it. But you need to register it with Duralum on their website after it's installed and it's transferable for free when you eventually sell your house.

We recommend DesertShade Structures, but you have to initiate communication when you need it. Todd's team does excellent work, cleans up after themselves, and make sure it's done right. Todd was Honest, straightforward, no nickel and diming & professional. Outdoor Elements products are spectacular! Desert Shade is the AZ contractor for Outdoor Elements- out of San Diego. Beautiful and Durable for the AZ weather, and lasts decades! We LOVE our extended living space and it added a lot of value to our everyday living 365 days a year!

Amazing company, the best construction experience I have had since moving to Scottsdale 13 years ago. The owner, Todd Fisher, was totally involved in the project, a real honest and standup guy, again refreshing. His son, Ty, who managed the crew was beyond professional, polite and engaged in every aspect of the project. Todd was aware of cost and kept that down actually coming in lower than the actually quote. Honestly this ran so smoothly I could not believe it. Communication was constant. Everything they promised was delivered. I would recommend this company to anyone.

I had Desert Shade Structures build a huge 450 square foot pergola, just finished last week. I highly recommend this company! Todd, the owner, gave us the bid, and he made certain that we were getting all we were wanting in the structure. All prices were clearly spelled out, and there were no surprises. Ty was the foreman on the build, and he was very friendly and efficient. The crew was respectful and courteous as well, and were very good at cleaning up after themselves. The quality of the build and structure is first rate, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Kudos!
