Pergola

At MJG Contracting Corp., we build pergolas to transform backyard dining and entertaining spaces into elegant retreats. A recent installation in Huntington featured engineered concrete footings, cultured-stone bases, fiberglass columns, Douglas Fir framing, and a premium finish—each detail chosen for beauty, durability, and precision.

🌟 Project Highlight: Huntington Pergola

  • Concrete Footings: Poured to at least 12″ depth to meet frost-line code standards—ensuring a rock-solid base.

  • Cultured-Stone Base: Lifts appearance and protects posts from moisture while blending with landscape style.

  • Fiberglass Columns: Lightweight yet stronger than steel, corrosion-resistant, and low-maintenance.

  • Douglas Fir Framing: Known for high density, strength, and weather resilience—ideal for long-lasting outdoor structures.

  • Finish: Benjamin Moore exterior solid stain applied for color and long-term protection.

🧱 Structural & Design Benefits

  • Durability & Strength: Concrete footings plus fiberglass and Douglas Fir framing ensure structural stability—even under wind, snow, and outdoor exposure.
