I started construction 6 years ago. Quickly excelled in the industry of general construction, and foundation work. Whether it’s a deck/patio, some concrete is cracking, an old basement with lots of spiders, or a crawlspace no one’s been into for years. I’ll go head first to see what’s going on and get the job done! A little about me: Within 6 months of working construction, I became a foreman running a crew on job sites. In a little over 2 years, I decided to dabble in the superintendent role which meant running a remote shop hundreds of miles away from the main facility. I quickly learned how stressful the industry can be, but also how rewarding it is being the last person to talk to the homeowner and always leaving with a new friend.

I do everything inside and out. I have 7 years of carpentry experience and have worked as a carpenter in the military. I can do stairs, decks, siding, cabinets, trim, doors, windows, shelving, some auto repairs, anything else you can name. I will also build furniture, cutting boards, or any other specialty items. I am married with 2 children and I am currently a full time Firefighter with 2 out of 3 days off so I have plenty of time to work for you.

"I was extremely pleased. The young man was on time, polite and efficient. I look forward to calling him for future home projects."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Although dependent on the type and size of lumber, most 2-by-4-by-8-foot pieces of lumber cost anywhere from $3 to $6. Softwood lumber like pine falls on the lower end of the spectrum, while hardwood lumber like oak or walnut falls on the higher end. Different retailers and lumber yards can also vary in price, so it helps to shop around to compare prices.

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

Building a pergola yourself costs less than hiring someone to do it for two reasons. First, a contractor will charge a markup on the materials. Second, you’ll save the entire cost of labor. In exchange for the money you save, you’ll need to dedicate at least one full weekend to the project.

A pergola needs to be anchored, and typically, concrete is the best anchor option. Pergolas should be anchored to a concrete slab or concrete footings, and this is commonly required by municipal building codes. When applying for a permit to install a pergola, be sure to check the anchoring requirements as well.

It’s best to opt for a lightweight roof, as a heavy roof adds a lot of weight and pressure to the support posts and hardware and destabilizes the structure. Vinyl is a good, lightweight option, as is a nice open trellis, louvered aluminum or vinyl slats, or fabric panels. Clear polycarbonate is another great option that offers seamless shelter and additional UV protection without completely obscuring the sunshine. You can also choose retractable coverings or an awning that you only use in wet weather or when you need additional shade.
