Does it frustrate you when you look at the high cost of pergola kits that are being sold today? I'm sure you know it doesn't really cost $2,500-$5,000 to build a simple garden pergola.
The difference is they just charged you an extra $1000 or more to make the phone call.
Contractors are making so much money from pergolas, they really have no incentive to cut prices or give the average hard-working person a break. Contractors and kit builders have been living high on the hog from building simple pergolas.
Now you can simply build it yourself over the weekend and start enjoying your yard again. Or you can hire a local handyman to follow the simple step-by-step plans and instructions. Either way, you are sure to save a ton of money.
Recently I wanted a pergola for my back yard. Since I'm a nationally syndicated home designer with plans featured in books, magazines, and newspapers all across the country, I knew what a good quality pergola should really cost.
I had sticker-shock after checking out what these pergola kits were selling for online. And most of them didn't really include everything that I need to build it.
Then I called a local contractor to see what it would cost me. After our meeting he told me it would be about four weeks before he could get started. Plus it would cost me about $4,500 to build it.
Since I'm a home designer and work with builders all day I know the materials were less then $300 from Home Depot. I could also estimate his labor for two days of work and there was no way possible I was going to pay him $3,700 in pure profit for just two days...
