I like the idea.

I like the idea of going past the 1st window and leaving the last window and right corner open for landscaping. Do you have electrical available for lights on either side of your door? Moving your mailbox to the other side or hanging one on the house would help as would having your roof power washed.

You don't like my roof huh? Power washing a roof is advisable? I would think the pressured water might get up under the shingles-tell me what you know about that practice plz. GTK on the layout and yes i have power run to the door. Did it back when I rewired the front of the house.

I was also looking for any design input on the covered area above the door. The idea picture is too big for what I have to work with. I'm not sure if I just need to shorten the arch (width) or maybe with a different design all together. All I know is I want the area above the door to be solid and the rest a perg.

Thanks for input!

My son did it for a living for years. Someone who does it for a living knows the correct pressure to use and does it from the top down. My sister did it to her roof and it made a huge difference in the appearance.

The picture of the pergola you show looks as though it's attached to the header-probably with bolts and joist hangers. I think you could do the same thing but you have to take proportion into account. You could do something straight across with no arch as well with a roof only over the door. You would have to angle it enough for snow and rain to slide off though.
