Pergolas · Same day
What to write the day you send a pergola install estimate
A same-day note is optional. It is not one of the three scheduled follow-ups. Use it when you are not sure the pergola install estimate for $8,900 arrived, or when one point from the visit is easy to forget.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Skip it if you already talked it through
If you handed over the paper and walked the job, another email that night is noise. Pergola estimates sit with the HOA packet, or while someone decides if it should attach to the house.
What the recap should say
Name what the price includes: a freestanding cedar pergola on new footings, the size we staked. Name what it leaves out: electric for a fan, and an HOA application fee. Freestanding where we staked it, or do you want an attached version priced? Do not attach a pergola to the house in a follow-up rewrite without a new price.

Your pergola install estimate from Abebe Outdoor
Hi Felicia, I sent the pergola install estimate for $8,900 earlier today. It 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. Freestanding where we staked it, or do you want an attached version priced? Thanks, John Abebe Abebe Outdoor
