"Josef does excellent work - I would hire him again. He replaced a 15 foot railing in front of my home. He took extra care to match the color of the stain (including sending me pics from the hardware store to confirm). Scheduling took a more back and forth than expected but it was worth the wait."

"I really could not have asked for better administrative and management service. The actual work and the carpenter himself was equally as great. The carpenter was creative in delivering a great product. I would like to assume that some carpenter would have charged a bit less, but it would not have been worth the savings to either get inferior service, a headache, or a questionable product."

"Trying to execute a major outdoor renovation project during a time of global supply chain disruptions poses many challenges. Happy to report that Mal and PHI navigated that rocky path very well. Mal kept us informed of the many changes coming from the supplier as far as colors and delivery. It was a long process...8 months between signing the contract and having the work completed. In the end we are very happy with the product and the quality of the work. A major windstorm hit the area the day after the work was completed and put the installation to the test. Everything held up perfectly...no loose bits flapping on the house or flying around the yard. In researching this project ahead of time, we had spoken with many friends who've had their siding replaced and none of them were especially happy with their contractor. We had the best experience with Mal and PHI. Highly recommended."

"Rob and his crew were WONDERFUL! They were in our house for two weeks. They arrived every morning by 7:30 and immediately went to work. They were polite and friendly and respectful of not just our home but of our dogs (we have two). Every member of his crew introduced themselves to us (and the dogs) and were friendly and polite every day. They Every day we would come home from work and would rush upstairs to see what they had managed to finish. The fact that every day they left our home as cleaned up as they possibly could so that the only evidence of their being there was paint tray and tools left upstairs that would be required the next day. They covered our wood floors with cloths from wall to wall where they were working to be sure no paint or stain got anywhere except where they intended it to be. We struggled a bit in the beginning trying to find common ground between the age of the house and the "magic" that mere mortals could work but once both our expectations and deliverables were understood the project moved quickly...and beautifully. Rob was ALWAYS very responsive to my phone calls or text messages. Once the color started to go onto the walls the light at the end of the tunnel began to shine. Every day we would come home and find our upstairs a beautiful array of colors. My husband is a PERFECTIONIST and has done most of the work in our house himself so when HE was excited at the end of every day, I knew Rob and his crew are vendors to keep on speed dial. The finished product is so much more than either of us expected. Thanks to RFB Drywall our upstairs looks like a new home! Once the furniture is back upstairs we begin the long process of remodeling our downstairs. When it comes to the drywall work and the painting, Rob is the only contractor we're interested in calling."

"We are amazed at the outcome of this project!  We had several quotes for finishing our lower level and Paul's quote and vision for the job best aligned with ours.  We appreciated the way that Paul itemized the quote, which we didn't receive from any of the other quotes.  The quality of the work looks like it would have cost double of what was quoted.
Paul and his crew were wonderful and very easy to work with from day one.  They showed up on time and usually stayed late.  They cleaned up at the end of each day.  Paul and his crew were polite and seemed to enjoy the work they were doing.  You can tell that they have a passion and pride in what they do. 
The job took one week to complete.  Within that time, they were also able to install laminate flooring and paint a walk-in closet and stain and install a shelf that we added at the start of the project.  They took on this extra request without hesitation and made it seamless.  We requested a custom built-in bookcase and Paul took on this work himself including the design.  The outcome far exceeded our expectations. 
We are looking forward to working with Paul and his crew on future projects."

FAQs for arbor, pergola or trellis custom build projects in Winthrop Harbor, 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.
