What Our Clients Are Saying
We're proud of the relationships we've built and the trust our clients place in us.
Alex and his team are very knowledgeable in the design and engineering of a proper deck system. The surface of the deck is not just boards on joists but is designed with an artistic touch with ours including Celtic knots and picture frames.
Our deck looked old, worn out with accumulated rotten wood and was in need of serious restoration. Not only did Corbin offer reasonable pricing compared to other bids, but throughout the project, Alex was easily accessible and his crew delivered outstanding results.
Corbin replaced most of a small deck (kept the piers), and the railing and stairway for a larger deck, again keeping the piers. We chose them because they work with natural wood, and were less than the other bid we received. The job was done beautifully.
Alex, Seth and his crew(s) at Corbin Restoration are top notch! It had been 8 years since I stained our deck and was built several years prior to that. A 10k deck in 2010 is a 25-30k deck today, so we definitely did not want to replace it. Corbin made it look brand new.
FAQ – Pergola Installations in Hennepin County, MN
Vinyl and pressure-treated wood are the most popular options for Minnesota's climate. Vinyl is virtually maintenance-free and resists moisture, cracking, and fading through freeze-thaw cycles. Pressure-treated wood is durable and cost-effective, though it may need sealing every few years. Cedar is a beautiful middle ground — naturally rot-resistant and great looking. We'll walk you through the pros and cons of each based on your budget and style preferences.
It depends on the size, placement, and whether the pergola is attached to your home. Many freestanding pergolas under a certain square footage don't require a permit, but attached pergolas or those with solid roofing typically do. Our team is familiar with Hennepin County permitting requirements and handles the permit process for you when it's needed — so you don't have to figure it out on your own.
Yes, absolutely. We build both freestanding and attached pergolas. An attached pergola connects directly to your home's exterior or an existing deck structure, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. We assess your home's framing and ensure the attachment is structurally sound and properly waterproofed before building.
Most standard pergola installations are completed in 2–4 days. Larger, fully custom builds or projects that involve permits or site preparation may take a bit longer. We give you a clear timeline upfront during your free consultation so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
Yes. We offer multiple pergola roofing options including traditional open lattice, shade cloth, polycarbonate panels, aluminum roofing, and solid wood or composite covers. A solid roof turns your pergola into a more weather-protected space — great for Hennepin County homeowners who want to use their outdoor area even when it's drizzling. We'll help you choose the right option for your goals and budget.
It depends on the material. Wood pergolas — cedar or pressure-treated — typically need staining or sealing every 2–3 years to stay protected against moisture and UV exposure. Vinyl pergolas are low maintenance and only need occasional cleaning with soap and water. We'll give you specific care guidance for your pergola's material after the installation is complete.
Absolutely. Our custom pergola design service gives you full flexibility over dimensions, roof style, post design, decorative trim, and add-ons like built-in lighting, privacy screens, or hanging planters. We don't use one-size-fits-all templates — every pergola we build is designed specifically for your property and your vision.
Some of our most popular requests include pergolas with integrated string lighting or recessed lighting, climbing plant supports (great for vines in Minnesota), privacy screening on one or two sides, attached pergolas over existing decks or patios, and pergolas combined with outdoor kitchens or fire pit areas. We're happy to share design ideas that work well for your specific yard layout and neighborhood style.
