We built a new home and wanted an operable pergola. After doing some research online and visiting the Huntington showroom, WA Zimmer was the obvious choice. They worked with us throughout our building process so that it could be installed at the proper time. Because it was a new build, getting the right size pergola was more complicated than measuring on an existing structure. The team at Zimmer had to make some adjustments to get the right fit for the final installation, but they made sure we had the right product and it looked nice. After using the pergola for a summer, we realized we needed a shade screen to block the western sun in the afternoons and evenings. We ordered a motorized Sunesta screen which was exactly the product we needed to make the most of our time on the deck. We had quotes from other companies, but Zimmer was the only one that could provide the product we needed with the clean look and ease of use that we desired. The installation team was diligent in making sure the screen was integrated with the pergola so that it looked seamless. When the screen is retracted, we don't even notice it is there. The motorized function allows us to raise and lower it from inside our house or outside on the deck to just the height we want. Zimmer stayed committed to making sure we were satisfied with the look of the screen even though it required extra work on their end. We appreciate the products and the customer service we received from Zimmer!

We could not be more pleased with our two patio coverings for shelter clients at The Beaman Home. Each covering provides great coverage and looks amazing! The W.A. Zimmer team was very prompt and professional. We hope to work with them again in the future.

I have seen most of their products at various homes in and around the North East Indiana. The pergolas, shades, 3 season rooms are so well manufactured and they are definitely a level above the rest.

Dear Mr. Lemon,

Just a note to thank you for our beautiful new porch. First, we appreciate Aaron for giving us the idea, and then thanks to Jessie & Lucas who worked a long, hot day to get it installed! We really love the improvement the Operable Pergola has made to our home.

Bruce & Kathy V., Huntington, IN - May 2022

Carolyn W., Van Wert, OH - June 2022

When we described what we had in mind for a pergola with our designer, Rich, he indicated that they had never installed a pergola like we were describing, but said they would be able to build one for us. He designed one on his computer to see if that was what we had in mind, and it was. Rich was a pleasure to work with, and not only patient and knowledgable, he is honest and a gentleman.

At no time did W. A. Zimmer over-promise and under-deliver!

Apparently, you sent us the A-Team for the installation of our pergola. Jesse and Brandon did an outstanding job of installing our pergola! They kept us informed of what they were going to do and the estimated time for the completion of the installation. If we had any questions, Jesse always took the time to answer them.

Jesse and Brandon were like “Poetry in Motion”, always working, never taking a break. We have never seen workers so dedicated to getting the job done! W. A. Zimmer is blessed to have them as employees.

We have had people stop by to get a closer look at our pergola and mentioned how beautiful it is. Hopefully, you will receive some business from some of them.

God bless all of you, and thank you for taking care of us!
