Pergolas · How long
Say how long a pergola install takes
People go quiet when they cannot picture the disruption. Say what the days look like. Do not promise a start date you do not have.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
The real schedule
Footings first, then the kit or the lumber. Attached to the house is a different flashing job than freestanding. HOA style rules decide more pergolas than the lumber price.
What the price is not
The $8,900 includes a freestanding cedar pergola on new footings, the size we staked. It does not include electric for a fan, and an HOA application fee. Do not attach a pergola to the house in a follow-up rewrite without a new price.
