Need expert pergola repair in Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast? Carpentry Worx repairs and rebuilds rotten posts, sagging beams, storm-damaged rafters and termite-affected pergolas across Brisbane North, Moreton Bay and the Sunshine Coast — restoring your outdoor space safely and built to last.
Built for QLDSometimes a pergola is sound enough to repair in place — replacing posts, sistering beams or re-roofing. Other times it's safer and more cost-effective to rebuild. After a free on-site inspection we give you both options with honest pricing.
We use H3 (or H4 for ground contact) treated pine or hardwood, galvanised brackets, proper bracing and footings sized for local wind ratings — not just patched together with what's left over.
After hundreds of pergola repair jobs across Brisbane, Moreton Bay and the Sunshine Coast, the patterns are clear: posts rot at the ground line where moisture pools, beams sag where undersized timber spans too far, brackets rust where galvanising has been compromised, and roofing flashings fail after a decade of UV. Spotting which problem you have early decides whether it's a $500 fix or a $5,000 one.
If posts and footings are sound and only one or two members are damaged, a targeted repair makes sense. If multiple posts have rotted, the structure has racked out of square, or termites have gone through more than 30% of the timber, a rebuild is almost always cheaper long-term than chasing further repairs.
When we repair we also weatherproof: galvanised post anchors lift posts off concrete, flashings get re-bedded, brackets are upgraded to cyclone-rated where wind ratings warrant, and timber junctions are sealed against water ingress.
