We agree a work schedule, keep you informed when something changes and leave the site tidy.
Pergola or patio?
An open pergola costs less, feels lighter and keeps rooms behind it bright. It does not keep rain off. A roofed patio does, but it costs more and can darken the house.
A louvre pergola sits in between: open or closed as you choose.
