Explain the lead time on a pergola install

Send this when the holdup is the wait before work can start, not whether they liked the price.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

What sets the date

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.

Do not skip the wait

Do not attach a pergola to the house in a follow-up rewrite without a new price. Footings and whether it ties to the house change the price. The stain is a small part.

When the pergola install can start

Hi Felicia,

The pergola install estimate is $8,900. The start date depends on this: Footings first, then the kit or the lumber. Attached to the house is a different flashing job than freestanding.

If you want it, tell me and I will line up the next step. I will not start before that is set.

Thanks,
