I listen to what the customer needs. I'm trusted by several home and business owners to work alone having access to the property while they are away. I'm here to help with any inconveniences not add to them. I try to complete the work as fast as possible , without affecting the quality of my work. I make sure the areas I am working in are cleaned properly before I leave. If there are any issues or I am unsure of anything I will contact the Home owner immediately. Example: I was working in a Dr office and when I went out to my car seen a van parked beside the privacy fence. All the business were closed. I went up to the van and asked what he was doing parked there. He said he isnt doing anything wrong and can park there. I told him he needed to go somewhere else and that I know he was trying to scope out the building materials and tools inside the fence. I walked off and called the cops. He was gone when I came back. I contacted the Dr and he already seen the cameras. He was thankful I'd been there. I try my best to be available a time that works best for the customer, but can't always be. If any rental equipment is needed, unless the owner wants to pick it up or go together I will do so with the rental fees and deposit covered. If a customer has an emergency There will be a fee so I am able to handle it then. I love dogs, but seem to get along with all animals. A home owner had put his big aggressive dog up while he was away so I could work in the back yard. A friend came by and let the dog out to potty, I was on my knees and he was right in front of me looking right at me. I told him to come and started petting him. Well the lady came back out and seen me and could not believe the dog hadn't attacked me. She said she never seen anyone besides her and the owner be able to get near him. We all love our pets and sometimes it can be a challenge to have a service provider complete a job without having to put them up. I find it important how my dog is to a person.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pergolas have no base structure to hold them up, so it’s necessary to attach them to some type of foundation. Most pergolas require a minimum of at least four concrete footings to keep them solid and stable in the ground. Attaching the pergola to a concrete foundation is an option as well.

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.

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.

Not only does adding a pergola to your landscaping add value to your home, but it also provides an excellent selling point to potential buyers who enjoy outdoor living.

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.
