Timber work built by people who understand roofs.
A pergola or verandah is really a small roof. We frame it, connect it and drain it like one, so it stands straight, sheds rain properly and ties into your home without creating a new leak point.

- Structural timber suited to outdoor use
- Integration with existing gutters

- Rot and damage repairs
Understanding pergolas & roof carpentry
Our carpentry covers new outdoor structures and the timber hidden inside your roof: rafters, battens, fascia and barge boards that have rotted, sagged or been damaged by leaks or pests.
Because we also work on roofs, we look at the whole picture: where the water will go, how the new structure connects to existing gutters and flashings, and whether the existing frame can take the load. Where permits or engineering are required, we will explain what is needed.

How we do it, step by step
You will know what is happening on your roof at every stage. We share photos as we go so nothing is hidden behind the gutter line.

Permits
Some pergolas and verandahs need a building permit depending on size and location. We will flag this early.
Timber choice
Treated pine, hardwood and steel each have pros and cons for cost, look and maintenance.
Fix the cause
When timber has rotted from a leak, we fix the leak too, not just the board.
Pergolas & Roof Carpentry FAQs

Do you repair existing pergolas?
Yes, from replacing rotted posts to re-roofing an old structure.
Do you do fascia replacement?
Yes. Rotten fascia and barge boards are a common repair, often done alongside gutter work.
