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. With the real estate boom over the last few years, 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 spent the next weekend drawing up pergola plans that were monkey-proof. I made sure I explained everything no matter how simple or small it was. I created what I thought would be something so simple anybody could do it.
After seeing the plans the handyman asked if he could use them on some other jobs he had coming up. I told him sure.
How would you like to have the beautiful pergola that you have always wanted in your yard at only a fraction of the cost of paying a contractor or ordering a kit?
While you're sitting there reading this, you're beginning to understand why building your own pergola in a weekend is the only way to go.
