What began as a termite-infested wooden pergola had turned into more of a liability than a luxury for homeowners Randy and Judy. Their beautiful San Diego home sat along a scenic golf course, but the deteriorating structure limited how much they could enjoy their backyard views. The old wood required constant upkeep and offered little protection from the sun—far from the inviting outdoor retreat they envisioned.
