"Nasty man. Did half the job then quit. Berated his boy the whole day on the job then ran and quit when he screwed up twice. Tore the hell up out of my yard. Run from this horrible person."

"I was happy at first. I was given a quote and accepted the bid I was given from this company. I was originally told he'd probably be able to get it done next week (this was last week). I texted him at 10:15 today asking (nicely) if he knew when he might be able to come. Around 12:30 I still hadn't received a response, so I messaged again, no response again! Around 2 I sent him another message reminding him of Angie's code of conduct and finally received a response basically saying that he's to busy to respond to a customer and IMO I took it as he was trying to blame me for his lack of communication. I would only recommend this guy if you're interested in being ghosted or gaslighted into believing you are confusing something that was never communicated!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Installation typically takes 2-5 days, depending on the structure size and site preparation.

There are a few differences between pergolas and gazebos. Both structures provide shade, but pergolas are more minimalistic, with four posts and a terraced roof. Gazebos usually have an elevated floor and are typically shaped like a polygon with six or eight open-air sides and two small sets of steps leading up to the platform. Gazebos also tend to have pointed, shingled roofs and ornate accents. If you want a structure that keeps out water on rainy days, a gazebo may be a better option—though you can purchase an awning to go over your pergola to keep out water.

Pressure-treated wood is a classic and budget-friendly choice for building a pergola. If you’re going for a more natural look, opt for hardwoods such as redwood and cedar. These naturally resist insects and rot, plus they have stunning color and texture on their own, so you’ll be able to skip stains and paints.

Wooden pergolas can last five and 12 years as long as you maintain your pergola. Make sure to clean, stain, and seal wood pergolas every two to three years to protect the wood from insect damage, rot, and decay. 

Vinyl or aluminum pergolas can last a lifetime. The only problems you may encounter with these pergola materials are weather-related—heavy rain storms or snowfalls. Check the stability of your pergola every season. You may need to add new supports or replace broken beams on an as-needed basis.

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.
