Process

How Our Custom Pergola Build Works

  • Free On-Site Consultation

    We visit your yard, discuss your vision, take measurements, and identify any site-specific considerations. Attached or freestanding, small or large — we work through the details before we price it.

  • Design & Quote

    We deliver a written quote based on your dimensions, wood choice, and design details. You'll have a full cost breakdown within 48 hours of the site visit.

  • Scheduling

    Once you approve the quote, we schedule the build. Most pergola projects are scheduled within 2–4 weeks of approval.

  • Build

    Our crew handles the full build — posts, beams, rafters, and any decorative detailing. We work clean, stay on schedule, and keep you updated throughout.

  • Final Walkthrough

    Sam walks the completed pergola with you. Every connection, every beam, every finish detail. You sign off when it's right.

Trust Signals

Why Choose Wood Fence& Gate for Your Pergola

  • Design-Forward Craftsmanship

    Sam approaches every custom build as a design problem first. The scale, the beam depth, the post profile, the finish — these details are what separate a well-built pergola from an afterthought. We've been getting them right for 20 years.

  • Built Exclusively in Wood

    We work in wood only. That means our material knowledge is deep and our recommendations are grounded in real experience — not a catalog. We know how cedar behaves in coastal air and how redwood holds a finish over time.

  • Fully Insured & Bonded

    Every project is covered by full general liability insurance and bonding. Structural builds require a properly insured contractor — we are, and documentation is available on request.

  • Custom, Not Cookie-Cutter

    Every pergola we build is designed specifically for your space. We don't work from standard kits or template dimensions. If it's going in your yard, it's built for your yard.

FAQ

Common QuestionsAbout Custom Pergola Builds

How much does a custom pergola cost?

Pergola costs depend on size, wood species, complexity, and whether the structure is attached or freestanding. Most projects fall within our overall range of $3,000–$30,000. We provide free, itemized written estimates.

Do I need a permit for a pergola in El Segundo?

Permit requirements vary by city and structure size. We research the specific requirements for your location and assist with the application process.

What wood do you use for pergolas?

We most commonly use cedar and redwood — both are naturally durable, aesthetically strong, and hold up well in Southern California's coastal climate. We can also work with pressure-treated pine for budget-conscious projects.

Can you match a pergola to my existing fence or deck?

Yes. Matching the wood species, finish, and profile to existing structures on your property is something we do regularly. We'll assess what you have and build to complement it.
