Common Pergola Questions from San Diego Homeowners
How long does it take to build a custom pergola?
Most projects take 2-3 weeks from design approval to completion. Larger or more complex pergolas might stretch to 4-5 weeks. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.
Do I need permits for a pergola in San Diego?
Often, yes. Requirements vary based on your specific location and pergola design. Don’t worry – we handle all permit applications as part of our service, ensuring your project is fully compliant.
What’s the best pergola material for San Diego weather?
Cedar and redwood are fantastic choices, naturally resisting decay and insects. Aluminum offers great durability with minimal upkeep. We’ll help you weigh the pros and cons based on your style, budget, and willingness to maintain the structure.
Can you add features like lighting or fans to my pergola?
Absolutely! We love incorporating extras like built-in LED lighting, ceiling fans, or even outdoor speakers. These touches can really elevate your outdoor living experience.
How do I keep my new pergola looking great?
Maintenance varies by material. Wood pergolas typically need occasional sealing or staining, while aluminum might just need a periodic wash. We’ll provide care instructions and offer maintenance services to keep your pergola in top shape for years to come.
