"Jeff was very receptive and tuned in with the ideas we had in mind. He was straightforward with the possibilities and the limitations of the options we had for project. The project started pretty much right on schedule around mid July. Any few obstacles the project had regarding materials, regulations, or schedules, were promptly addressed to our satisfaction. Within three and a half weeks construction was completed. I was not expecting these guys to build things so quickly. It was a pleasure to have Jeff, Shane, and Jake. They were all professional, yet friendly. The very few things we had noticed during construction that required fixing they addressed to our satisfaction without hesitation. Their craft is top-notch. As a bonus you get a wonderful team of fun, friendly individuals doing everything possible to make your outdoor living dream space a reality. Thank you for the dedication, care, and expertise you put towards our project."

"We were delighted by the work of Chad and Nicole. We converted a wood burning fireplace in our lower level to gas logs. The upstairs fireplace has an insert which they removed with care only to find the installers of the insert (not Envision) placed it on a plywood base (not a good mix - heat and wood). So in addition to installing the gas line with precision and getting us a log set that is beautiful, they reset the inert on cement board and made the house safer. Envision is awesome.

Nick's Chimney Service & Duct Cleaning of St Paul MN has been family owned and operated for over 16 years. We serve the Twin Cities Metro and Western Wisconsin areas, and we provide quality, reliable services at affordable rates.
"I had them out a few years ago to do $650.00 in tuck-pointing on my chimney since it was causing water intrusion into my basement. Their work started failing at the end of 2024 so I called them to see how much they stand behind their work and if they can at least inspect it to see what other issues the chimney may have. They never called or emailed me back so it all felt like a scam for them to get some quick cash with a half-hearted ‘fix’ when they did the tuck-pointing."

A quality motorized pergola has a lifespan of 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. The structural components often last longer than the mechanical elements, which may require servicing or replacement after seven to 10 years of regular use. Aluminum and vinyl structures typically outlast wood in challenging climates. Overall, though, regular maintenance significantly extends the lifespan of motors and moving parts.
For many homeowners, the added convenience and functionality of motorized pergolas justify their higher cost. Standard motorized systems cost $50 to $70 more per square foot than fixed pergolas. This premium provides significant benefits in weather adaptability and ease of use. Homeowners who frequently entertain outdoors or live in areas with unpredictable weather often find the additional investment worthwhile for the extended usability of their outdoor space.
Maintenance requirements vary by material and complexity but include seasonal cleaning and occasional system checks. Expect to spend $2 to $5 per square foot for professional cleaning services. Annual inspection of motors and moving components is recommended, with service visits costing $150 to $300. Aluminum and vinyl structures require minimal maintenance beyond cleaning, while wood demands regular sealing or staining to prevent deterioration.
The complete process spans anywhere from a few hours to several days to install a pergola. Custom designs may require additional manufacturing time, extending the timeline by several weeks. The actual on-site installation takes between two and five days, depending on complexity and size. Weather conditions, permit processing times, and contractor availability can all affect scheduling. Planning your project during less busy seasons may result in faster completion.
While the cost to build a pergola starts at $3,000 to $5,000, self-installation of motorized systems is not recommended without significant construction and electrical experience. The complexity of these systems requires specialized knowledge for proper function and safety. Incorrect installation can compromise structural integrity, void manufacturer warranties, and create potential hazards. If pursuing a DIY approach, consider hiring professionals for critical electrical components.
