Turnkey Millwork announces the launch of a new price quoting web application for custom vinyl or PVC pergolas that makes getting an exact quote for custom vinyl or PVC pergola easier than ever before Turnkey Millwork manufacturers low maintenance synthetic millwork products.

Once a common feature and focal point of Renaissance gardens, pergolas often covered walkways and seating areas or served as arbors. Today, pergolas are making a robust comeback, as more and more homeowners come to appreciate the value and beauty that a pergola can bring to their outdoor living areas.  Custom vinyl and PVC pergolas are particularly popular because they don’t get infested with termites or rot the way outdoor wood structures often do.

According Jim Goodman, General Manager at Turnkey Millwork, this new pergola price quoting system doesn’t just take the guesswork out of pricing, “It helps our customers make the best choices when they’re ordering. By using photos, simple diagrams and easy to understand explanations at every step, we help website visitors determine the right specifications for a pergola that will meet their needs. In most cases, all they have to do is click a box to make a choice.”

“In the past, ordering the correct elements for pergolas was often confusing and complicated,” said Tim Bobo, Marketing Manager for Turnkey.  “But now there’s no guesswork involved. Our customers can choose the material used, as well as the size and type of columns, beams, rafters and every other aspect of their new pergola. Then they just fill out a short form and we quickly return an exact quote for how much that specific pergola kit will cost.”

Company officials add that they expect it to be a rewarding experience for customers to be able to get prices for standard or custom pergolas so easily with this new PVC pergola quote system. It’s just one more way Turnkey Millwork works to achieve 100% customer satisfaction.

With the long harsh winter behind us many homeowners are beginning to assess the damage done to the wood on the exterior of their homes. After a record-breaking winter, this year’s damage could be particularly bad. If your home has porch columns, porch posts, fascia and exterior house trim, or other exterior millwork products made of wood, you could be faced with all kinds of splits, cracks, warping, sagging and chipping.

Without significant care and maintenance, a harsh winter like the one we’ve just experienced, can take its toll on wood building products. Just thinking about the work and cost involved in replacing or repairing the damage may be enough to send you back indoors. To make matters worse, millions of trees are cut each year to make replacement wood building products. Although some of these products may eventually be recycled, most damaged wooden building products are disposed of in landfills.

Tim Bobo of HB&G, the leading manufacturer of both wood columns and fiberglass porch columns, says that “Over the past few years there has been a significant trend by homeowners to replace damaged wood columns with columns made of fiberglass or PVC. “

Common advantages of many synthetic millwork products include:

• Consistent quality and reduced maintenance
• Easy to install with standard carpentry tools
• Can usually be painted with acrylic paint or oil-based paint
• Most are readily available in a variety of sizes and styles
• Doesn’t chip, warp, peel or splinter the way wood does
• Less impact from water or high humidity
• Resistant to termites and other insects

• Flame retardant – Many will not support combustion
• Cellular PVC is energy efficient to produce and it’s recyclable

“Cellular PVC products offer many of the advantages of wood without being affected by moisture or insects that way wood can be. Synthetic products in general often look better and hold up much longer than traditional wood products” according to Jim Goodman, General Manager of Turnkey Millwork “Today many of these products are also backed by very substantial warranties.”

Porch posts, architectural columns, column caps and bases are available in fiberglass as well as PVC. PVC trim, porch railings, pergolas, arbors, and trellises are available from a number of manufacturers. Some, like Turnkey Millwork, also offer a wide variety of custom synthetic millwork products.
