"Someone came to my house on 6/5/24 and gave me a bid to top a large tree and remove a small tree: $1800. I asked for the bid in writing and was told he'd have the lady in the office type it up and email it to me. I never received it. I called the office and again requested the bid in writing. Cheyenne said she'd get it right over to me. I asked about methods of payment since my husband was working out of town. She said they couldn't take a debit card over the phone and said they wouldn't take a cashiers check because "it could get lost in the mail." She then told me to CashApp the $1800. I told her I wouldn't do that prior to the job being completed. I'm not just going to CashApp someone that amount of money with no work done. I still never got the bid in writing. After a week of no bid in writing, I emailed them and told them to cancel the appointment and that I was going with another company. I got zero response. Today (7/10/24) two guys show up at my house and tell me they're here to cut my trees down. Absolutely not. I sent them on their way."

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.
