Why Clients Choose Custom-Built Aluminium Pergolas

When enhancing your outdoor living space, aluminium pergolas are a fantastic option. You might be wondering whether to go for a pre-made kit from a retail store or a custom-built pergola. While both have their merits, custom-built pergolas often stand out for several reasons. Let’s explore why a custom-built pergola might be the perfect choice for your home.

The Benefits of Custom-Built Aluminium Pergolas

1. Perfect Fit for Your Space: One of the biggest advantages of a custom-built pergola is that it’s tailored to your specific needs. Unlike pre-made kits, which come in standard sizes, a custom pergola can be designed to fit your unique space perfectly. Whether you have a large patio or a small garden area, a custom pergola ensures a perfect fit.

2. High-Quality Materials: With a custom-built pergola, you know exactly what materials are being used. This means you can choose high-grade aluminium that is durable and long-lasting. Having control over the quality of materials gives you peace of mind that your pergola will withstand the test of time.

3. Professional Installation and Service: Custom-built pergolas often come with professional installation. This includes everything from initial consultations and design planning to material selection and construction by experienced craftsmen. Having experts handle the installation ensures that your pergola is built to the highest standards.

4. Wide Range of Options: Custom-built pergolas offer a wide range of design options and additional features. For example:

Integrated Lighting: Built-in LED lights can create a warm and inviting atmosphere for evening gatherings.
Motorized Louvers: Control the amount of sunlight and shade with motorized louver systems.
Specialized Finishes: Choose from various finishes and colors to match your home’s exterior and personal style.
Custom Accessories: Incorporate unique elements like retractable canopies, privacy screens, or planters to enhance functionality and aesthetics.

Considering Pre-Made Kits

Pre-made pergola kits are generally more affordable and convenient, designed for easy assembly with detailed instructions. They come in standardized sizes and designs, making them a quick and simple solution for those on a budget or who enjoy DIY projects.

However, pre-made kits might not offer the same level of customization and quality as custom builds. They are limited to standard sizes and materials, which might not be as durable or fit your space as perfectly as a custom-built pergola.

Making Your Choice

When deciding between a custom-built pergola and a pre-made kit, consider your priorities:

Customization: Do you want a pergola tailored to your exact needs and space?
Quality: Are you looking for high-quality materials and professional craftsmanship?
Convenience: Do you prefer the ease and quick setup of a pre-made kit, or the comprehensive service of a custom build?

Both custom-built and pre-made aluminium pergolas have their unique advantages. Custom-built pergolas offer the benefits of tailored design, high-quality materials, professional installation, and a wide range of options. If these aspects align with your needs, a custom-built pergola might be the perfect choice for enhancing your outdoor living space.

Absolutely thrilled with the outcome of our renovation of two bathrooms and kitchen in a double level home. Kevin and his entire team were an absolute pleasure to work with from the get-go. Every minor detail was attended to, and all our requests were accommodated. Cyrus deserves a special mention as under his watchful eye and expertise, nothing could go wrong.

I have recently finished a renovation in our 1930’s bungalow, updating the original (and I do mean original) kitchen and bathroom. Plus creating a new laundry and removing three fireplaces which created two new spaces including an office. From the initial appointment with Alison who came over and then provided drawings and a quotation, to the work with Frank, our project manager and the team, this has been a wonderful renovation experience. I would have described myself as a nervous-renovator prior to doing this, as I had never done a renovation before, but Frank, Alison, Sunny and all the team have worked so tirelessly and generously to create spaces that we love. Superior’s care in managing the project has meant that we have come away with much more than we originally sought to achieve and without the stress I hear others lament about when they renovate. I would recommend Frank, Alison, Sunny and the team at Superior Renovations wholeheartedly.

We engaged with three companies to completely renovate our downstairs and ensuite bathrooms. We elected to go with Superior Renovations as they provided us with a fixed price and specific timeline to complete the project (which two other companies could not do), and we were absolutely delighted with the end result. We love everything from the floor and wall tiles to the heated towel rails and from the LCD mirrors to the underfloor heating and soft close lids. We especially loved replacing the old tub in our ensuite with a walk-in shower.The entire process went incredibly smoothly, with the project being completed on budget and ahead of schedule. From the initial design phase to the final touches, nothing was too much trouble for the team. Superior Renovations conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism, ensuring every detail was perfect.Frank (Project Manager) and the team did such an amazing job. Totally professional outfit, top notch communication, all tradies were courteous, polite and respectful. Alex (Builder) was especially knowledgeable and offered great solutions as minor issues unfolded. Each stage of the renovation was completed on the day it was scheduled. The crew were always on time and mindful of our work from home arrangements. And I was also impressed with the floor protection that was laid out on the first day.Through no fault of Superior, we did encounter a major, unforeseen setback that delayed our renovation on the downstairs bathroom. Superior were patient with us while we sourced specialists to remedy the issue. But once that was all sorted, Frank and the team picked up the baton and charged ahead to the finish line, delivering two beautifully ‘superior’ bathrooms. We also experienced a minor electrical issue post-build. And even though it was unrelated to their renovation work, Frank promptly dispatched an electrician who quickly fixed the problem. Talk about above and beyond!In summary, we highly recommend Superior Renovations for anyone looking to undertake bathroom renovations in their home. We’re already talking about renovating the kitchen next and we’re so confident in Superior Renovations that we will most certainly be engaging with them to complete the task.A huge thank you to Frank, Alex and all the wonderful team at Superior Renovations:)

Superior Renovations transformed our bathroom, and we couldn’t be happier. Cici, Jacob, Alex, and Ray were a fantastic team (Ray, our dog, is going to miss you). They tackled our old house’s quirks with creativity and attention to detail. We were especially impressed that they stayed within budget, even with a few surprises along the way. We’d definitely choose Superior Renovations again and highly recommend them.

We engaged Superior Renovations to transform our 30-year old, tired looking and problematic bathroom into something world class - and wow! The end result is simply stunning. The team led by Frank did an absolutely fantastic job. This was our first major renovation project and the entire process was easy and hassle free. The team delivered on schedule, within budget and the quality of their work is outstanding. If you are considering renovating - do not go past these guys.

My wife and I are absolutely delighted with the team at Superior Renovations - and the "superior" job and experience they delivered for us in renovating our ensuite and main bathroom. We are so pleased we chose them for our renovation.Everyone from Cici the designer, and Frank our wonderful and attentive project manager, down to the team of guys doing the heavy lifting were a real pleasure to deal with. We were kept informed every step of the way and everything was done to a very high standard. Nothing seems too much trouble for your crew (in fact Frank even became quite good at running after and catching our dog when the naughty little boy escaped), and they even helped me out with a couple of small extras around the house at no additional cost.Their pricing was very fair - no hidden extras, and they are such hard workers! But I think what impressed me most was that everything they promised was done exactly on the day they said it would be done, and at the time they said it would be done. They were a very respectful, friendly team who obviously take immense pride in their work.Thank you Superior team! Recommend 100%

This place is excellent. The service is fantastic. Eunice was amazing. She is efficient, knowledgeable and professional. Their prices are excellent. We have chosen to go with them for an ensuite renovation.We have now had the pleasure of Superior completing our ensuite. It's a big WOW from us.Communication, professionalism, making sure they checked in with us about preferences, quality of workmanship, quality of materials are all 5 stars.They completed the job early. Payment structure was excellent. The staff were polite and respectful. If there was an issue it got sorted immediately. Follow-up was prompt. There was no lingering to tidy up loose ends. Rubbish taken away immediately. Full respect of our neighbours using a shared driveway with us. Finally Jacob our project manager was the best. He held the job together from beginning to end.To be honest...we were 'blown away' by how smoothly it all ran.
