“Things done right
last a lifetime.”

Martha Stewart’s winding 300-foot pergola at her Bedford farm was built more than twenty years ago from wooden beams carried on antique granite posts. The timeworn wood had reached the end of its life.

Working from a tail pattern Martha designed, Logvinski Construction hand cut roughly eighty cedar rafter tails in her farm workshop, then re-straightened and leveled every granite post that had shifted over the decades. Because the pergola curves, each rafter sits at a slightly different angle — every measurement was checked and rechecked.

The new cedar beams and rafters were finished in Martha’s signature Bedford Gray.
