Thank you Darren and crew we were so happy with our stratco pergola. We had to rush our pergola through for an engagement party and Darren went out of his way to make this happen for us. The company was very friendly and professional throughout the project and the workmanship was excellent. We couldn't be happier with our pergola and have been complimented on it over and over. We would not hesitate to recommend Modern Solutions to anybody. Thanks Guys. Regards Angie and Chris Dabb.

Sitting back and really enjoying the work Darren and his team have just completed for us. Great job with tedious annoying work wrapping a pergola around our bay window and the end result looks amazing. Darren… was great in the consultation stances and the pricing was really competitive for the quality of work. Would definitely recommend.

Darren and his team did an outstanding job, it looks great and exactly how we wanted it. Also their customer service was excellent, an example we were home most of the time and it was very cold few days they ensure the door were close when they walk through so the house will keep as warm as possible! Hence through out the whole time, we were very comfortable with them around and didn't have to worry at all whilst they were doing their job. Highly recommend them!
