Don't get sucker punched. Go to lumber yard get material prices , then double . That is final cost. Who needs a master carpenter

is this where we make fun of pergolas?
why not just build a roof with holes in it?

also, i agree that pergolas are dumb. they look cool but don't serve a purpose. Built one for my in-laws last year similar to the old one in the OP but also topped it with tinted corrugated plastic. The low pitch of the pergola and the thinness of the corrugated plastic makes it almost impossible to see (the plastic) but it blocks the sun and rain. Kind of the best of both worlds.
The last two sentences completely contradict the first two

I think it is high for labor only. I do a fair amount of carpentry and this is not difficult work.
The math: Let's pay him 60/hr and her 40 which is at the top end for carpenters and very high for a 'helper'. 9 hour days= $900.00
Middle of his estimate 12 days, (which to me is WAY slow, but it is HIS estimate) $10,800.
You seem to be, in my model, paying him top dollar yet his productivity is not there.
JMO. Good luck.
