"He was supposed to start on November 9 called off and did show up on November 10 to install the thermostat that I provided. He worked on it for couple hours and then told me that the thermostat was faulty. He told me to return it and he would buy one and return the next day. After he left, I noticed one of the prongs were bent and I straightened it out and the thermostat worked and the heater kicked on. He still maintained that it was faulty, so I did return it and he came back with one exactly like it the next day. I reimbursed him for that. Again, he worked on it for a couple hours and the same issue that we’ve had from the beginning of the fan not turning off remained. He told me that there is no way it’s wired wrong so it has to be in the unit asked for payment which I gave him $125 in cash. I might add that he used my tools which I found quite odd. I ended up having to call out another contractor because he told me it had to be the unit. Cliffs informed me that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the unit and he even referred to it as “Cherry“ He checked everything out and then asked me about the thermostat and I said it was brand new and installed through Angi. He took the cover off and in a split second said I see exactly what the problem is. It’s c wired wrong. (THIS WOULD MEAN THL WIRED IT WRONG TWICE) He pointed out the green wire should not be connected at all. That is what is making the fan run continuously. He disconnected the wire and it worked perfectly. This cost me $218.00 for the service call/tune up."

Arbor, pergola or trellis custom builds FAQs
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.
