Pergola Slat Renovation in Charlotte, North Carolina

✅ Introduction

When preparing a property for sale, even small upgrades can make a big impact. In this Charlotte, NC backyard, we were asked to improve the look of an aging pergola by replacing deteriorated slats with fresh, clean cedar strips. The result? A renewed, inviting outdoor space that helped the home present beautifully during the sales process.

✅ Scope of Work

• Removal of all old, weathered slats from existing pergola structure

• Installation of new evenly spaced cedar slats for a cleaner appearance

• Refastening and alignment to ensure consistent shading and visual symmetry

• Project completed without full pergola replacement to maintain low budget
