"Pergola" is an Italian word that originally meant an outdoor structure designed to support climbing plants. Roof beams and rafters gave the plants something to cling to and over time, the pergola became a naturally shaded outdoor area. Pergolas were originally largely ornamental and freestanding, but could also be attached to the house. Like the patio, the meaning of the word was adopted in English speaking countries and its meaning expanded to include a variety of structures.
Today's pergolas often have metal, thatch, polycarbonate or other types of roofs and can be either attached to the home or detached. Detached pergolas can be square, rectangular, hexagonal, octagonal or even circular.
I have to thank Adam for such detailed and professional work over 2 hours at my problematic house. Adam gave me the honest advice for how to fix the issues of my house. He advised me not to go with $20,000 underpinning job blindly since my house still having water and tree issue. I will need to resolve the root cause first then let the house settle. I want to say if you think your house has issue, do not rush to the contractor who is in the industry purely just want you spend all the money. Talk to Adam first, he will give the best suggestion and save your heaps of money. Cheers Amy
