Making improvements to your business facade will undoubtedly boost your foot traffic, improve your customer reviews, and increase the value of your business. Why? It turns out, folks sometimes do judge a book by its cover. Sure, things like customer service, referrals and a great product are equally important fundamentals of operating a successful business.

Providing shelter from inclement weather, offering additional seating space, and enhancing your entrance, commercial pergolas are easily one of the most visually appealing ways to level up your outdoor space. And here’s how.
