Project description
We are looking for a skilled carpenter or outdoor structure contractor to design, build, and install a custom pergola and matching gazebo in our backyard. The pergola will span roughly 14 by 16 feet and attach to the rear patio, while the gazebo will be a freestanding octagonal structure about 12 feet in diameter positioned near the garden edge, connected by a short pea-gravel path.
Material: we prefer cedar or pressure-treated pine posts and beams, left natural or stained a driftwood grey — vinyl or aluminum alternatives will also be considered if the quote includes a clear maintenance comparison. The pergola roof should use an open lattice or louvered slat design spaced for partial shade, with an option to add a retractable canopy later. The gazebo needs a shingled or metal hip roof, screened lower rail, and a small built-in bench along two sides.
Footing and anchoring matter to us: posts should sit on poured concrete footings below the frost line rather than surface-mounted brackets, with galvanized post bases and hardware rated for outdoor exposure. Please note in your bid whether you pull the local building permit or expect us to file it, since our municipality requires a permit for any structure over 200 square feet or taller than 10 feet.
Timeline: we would like the project completed within three to four weeks of a signed contract, weather permitting, including site grading, footing cure time, framing, roofing, and a final staining or sealing coat. Please include a materials list, itemized labor cost, warranty terms, and photos of at least two comparable past installations with your proposal. Budget is flexible for the right craftsmanship and clean, level joinery.
