From the humidity of The Woodlands to the open winds of Fulshear, standard pine twists and rots. Aluminum kits dent and trap heat. We exclusively build with #1 Grade Western Red Cedar because of its cellular structure. It is naturally resistant to decay and insect attacks without chemical treatment. It stays straight, handles structural loads better than pine, and remains cooler to the touch than metal.

“I’m an engineer, so I checked their math. Iconic’s load calculations were spot on. It’s rare to find a contractor who cares about the physics, not just the look.”

Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and termites due to its high tannin content. With proper staining every 3-5 years, it can last decades.
We engineer our structures to meet local windstorm codes, typically rated for 110-130mph gusts depending on your municipality (Harris vs. Fort Bend vs. Montgomery County).
In most cases, yes. Especially if it is attached to the home or over a certain square footage. We handle all city and HOA permitting for you.
