Extremely Disappointing Experience – Poor Workmanship and Lack of Accountability
Extremely disappointing experience with Watties Pergolas. Based on my experience, the workmanship delivered fell well below the standard that was represented and expected for a professional contractor. The project was initially presented as approximately a two-week job, yet it extended beyond five months and, at the time of writing this review, remains incomplete. Throughout the process there were repeated issues with communication, including unanswered calls and messages, lack of updates, shifting timelines, and a general lack of accountability regarding outstanding work. Construction projects can face delays, however delays do not excuse poor communication, lack of responsiveness, or failure to manage client expectations. Clients rely on contractors not only for workmanship but also for professionalism and transparency. I am sharing this review to document my experience and to ensure that prospective clients can make informed decisions. I strongly recommend that anyone considering using this company ensures that all scope, timelines, deliverables and quality expectations are documented in detail before proceeding.

STAY AWAY!
STAY AWAY! On the 7th of July 2025, I paid Mike a R37,516.50 deposit to install a pergola and adjustable louvre system. After months of multiple postponements and second chances, I eventually gave him a final opportunity. Please note that one of the postponement reasons was due to his installer being arrested the night before the rescheduled installation. On 27 October (almost 4 months later), I gave him a final opportunity to complete the installation or provide a full refund. He agreed to provide a refund. He subsequently asked for additional time and proposed a three-part payment plan totaling R30,000, which I accepted in good faith, as I just wanted to move on. He selected his own repayment dates, which he AGAIN failed to honour. On the 26th of November (almost 5 months later), I then sent him a letter of demand for the full amount. On the 3rd of December, his lawyer contacted me and again agreed/guaranteed payment by the 12th of December. This again did not happen. The lawyer subsequently decided to no longer represent him. I then started posting reviews, as I would like to stop others from burning their fingers and losing money. In the process, a few other people have reached out saying that the same thing has happened to them. On the 17th of December (almost 6 months later), Mike’s father’s lawyers or auditors guaranteed payment by the end of February via email. This did not happen. We are now in April (over 9 months later) and still have not received a cent of our R37,000. He has also managed to get all other bad reviews removed off of his page. All I can do now is warn others. P.S. I have documented proof of everything that has happened and I am happy to show it to anyone who would like to see it.

Outstanding Service from Wattie Pergolas
I couldn’t be happier with the awning installation from Wattie Pergolas. From the first quote to final installation, their team was professional, on time and delivered exactly what we wanted. The quality of the materials and workmanship is excellent and has totally transformed our outdoor space. Communication was clear and every promise was kept. I highly recommend Wattie Pergolas to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality outdoor shading solutions.

The Best Outdoor Upgrade We’ve Ever Done
We recently had adjustable louvres installed by Wattie Pergolas, and we couldn’t be happier. The system is absolutely brilliant — we can control the sunlight, shade, and airflow perfectly throughout the day. Whether it’s hot sun or light rain, the space is now usable all year round. The quality of the installation is top-class, and you can see the attention to detail in every part of the finish. The louvres operate smoothly, look modern and stylish, and have completely transformed our outdoor area into a comfortable, versatile living space.

Professional & Trustworthy
We had an excellent experience with Mike from Wattie Pergolas & Awnings. From the first consultation to the final installation, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and you can see they take real pride in what they do. Everything was completed on time and exactly as promised. Our new awnings look incredible — highly recommended for anyone looking for quality and reliability.
