        "text": "Common pergola materials include wood (such as cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated lumber), vinyl, and aluminum. Wood offers a classic, natural aesthetic but requires regular maintenance, while vinyl and aluminum are low-maintenance, durable options with a modern look. Your choice should consider your desired aesthetic, budget, local climate, and the level of maintenance you are willing to perform. We can review samples and discuss the pros and cons of each material during your consultation to help you make an informed decision for your Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Dublin, or Emeryville property.",
