Start with the site
Golden sits at the foothills west of Denver along Clear Creek. For outdoor structures, a mountain-facing view is only one part of the design; the ground and the house connection need equal attention.
01
Bring photos showing changes in grade and any retaining walls near the proposed posts. A finished slab does not establish that it is an adequate foundation for a pergola. Ask what site information is needed before the structure, attachments and quote can be finalized.
02
Discuss where roof drainage would go relative to stairs, paths and nearby property. Keep roof operation and weather limits specific to the proposed configuration, not a general promise about foothill conditions. If you prefer shade without new posts, compare a wall-mounted awning only after a suitable mounting surface has been assessed.
Read before your consultation
Use the cooler months to plan awning size, mounting, fabrics and installation timing, without relying on promised lead times or a guaranteed spring date.
