How Alpharetta Fence Contractor Handles Pergola Repair
- On‑site check: we inspect the frame, connections, footings, moisture, and any house tie‑in. We take photos and notes.
- Make it safe: we shore or rope off any unstable area.
- Plan and quote: we explain repair vs. rebuild, materials, timing, and any needed permit or HOA steps.
- Permits/HOA: if posts, footings, or ledgers change, we handle permits and HOA submittals as needed.
- Match or upgrade: we source cedar or treated pine, or compatible aluminum. We use corrosion‑resistant fasteners.
- Structural fixes: we replace rotten parts, upsize to 6x6 posts when needed, add proper post bases, and add ties and hangers.
- Attached units: we re‑flash and re‑anchor the ledger into solid framing with structural screws.
- Footings: we dig and pour new concrete footings to the right depth and set posts above grade.
- Finish work: we clean, sand, and stain or paint to match. We seal cuts and ends.
- Cleanup: we haul debris, walk the job with you, share care tips, and review the warranty.
We use Simpson Strong‑Tie, OZCO/OZ‑Post, GRK/Spax fasteners, and hot‑dipped or stainless anchors. For finishes, we use Sherwin‑Williams SuperDeck, Cabot, or Behr to match your look.

- Some cities may need permits for posts, footings, or ledgers
- HOA approvals are common; we provide specs and samples
- Call 811 before digging for any footing or post work
- We document storm damage for insurance claims

Who we help: single‑family homes, townhome and HOA areas, restaurants and cafes, and commercial courtyards.
Best timing: spring and summer fill fast. Fall is great for repairs and staining. Winter can have quicker slots and lower costs.
Pergola Repair FAQ
Do I need a permit to repair my pergola?
Small fixes usually do not. If we replace posts, pour new footings, or work on an attached ledger, a permit may be needed in cities like Roswell, Sandy Springs, or Johns Creek. We handle permits when required.
Can you match my stain or paint?
Yes. We clean, sand, and sample test to match your color. We use quality stains and paints, then seal all cuts and ends so the repair blends in.
My attached pergola is pulling from the house. Can it be repaired?
Often yes. We re‑anchor the ledger into solid framing with structural fasteners and add proper flashing. If the damage is wide or the frame is weak, we may suggest a rebuild for safety.
How do you replace a rotted post set in concrete?
We shore the frame, cut out the bad post, break out or work around the old footing, and pour a new footing. We set a post base above grade to keep wood out of water.
Will insurance cover storm damage?
Many policies cover sudden storm events. We provide photos, scope, and a written estimate to help your claim. Your adjuster makes the final call.
How long will the repair take, and when can you start?
Minor repairs take a few hours. Larger structural work may take 1–3 days. Spring and summer book fast, but we can often schedule within a week. Call 470-964-9061 to check our next opening.
