Customers say: Quick response

"I?m sad to write this review as Hero started off as a wonderful landscape partner to us with excellent communication and integrity. Unfortunately this past year we paid for a season pass of bi-weekly lawn mowing services plus an additional spring clean up service. We tried to work things out with Hero but ultimately we received fewer than half the lawn visits, no spring clean up and the visits we received were sporatic and not on the promised timeline. Hero agreed to come by with the refund for part of the services he did not provide but has since ghosted us despite consistent attempts to reach out by phone, text, Zelle and in-person. We lost $480 in services."

"We hired Gorman Construction for a new exterior fire escape door, and they were fantastic. Lucky and Christian not only did great work, but they also explained everything clearly. Christian even came by afterward to review the team’s work. Highly recommend for their professionalism and quality craftsmanship!"

"We recently hired DAL Builder to construct our covered deck and we could not be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, craftsmanship and reliability. One of the things that stood out most was their timeliness. Every phase of the project was completed on schedule and they showed up exactly when they said they would, something that’s rare and incredibly appreciated in construction projects. Their consistent communication was another major strength. We were kept informed at every step, from design updates to material timelines and any questions we had were answered promptly and clearly. It made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Most importantly, the final result is stunning. Our covered deck looks amazing, beautifully built, sturdy and even better than we imagined. The attention to detail really shows and we’ve already received multiple compliments from friends and neighbors."

FAQs for arbor, pergola or trellis custom build projects in Des Plaines, IL

Pergolas and gazebos are both outdoor structures, but there are differences between the two. A pergola has a slatted roof that allows partial sunlight to filter through, creating a light and airy space. In contrast, a gazebo features a solid roof that provides complete shade. This key difference influences the comfort and visual appeal of your outdoor space.

Prefabricated pergola kits require one to four hours of assembly, while custom pergola designs take an average of eight to 16 hours. Additional groundwork, such as pouring a concrete slab, leveling the site, and removing obstructions, may extend the installation process to several weeks, ensuring a secure and long-lasting build.

A standard pergola kit ships with everything you need—four support posts, rafters, top runners, support beams, and hardware for anchoring the frame to a concrete pad. Many manufacturers also bundle add-ons like retractable canopies, privacy screens, or modular sections that let you tweak the footprint. Because each part is pre-cut and labeled, the kit helps you—or your contractor—assemble a sturdy, attractive structure without extra trips to the hardware store.
