Pergola Installation: what to expect & FAQs

Wood, aluminium and louvred pergolas — squared, plumbed and secured to your patio or deck by a Vetted, Certified local expert, canopy or louvres fitted and working. Every request is fixed-price upfront and backed by our 100% Happiness Guarantee.

What’s included

  • Complete assembly to the manufacturer’s instructions on the level patio, deck or pad you provide
  • Posts plumbed and beams squared before the rafters go on
  • Canopy, curtains or louvred roof fitted and adjusted; motorised louvres tested
  • Securing to your patio or deck where you add it — you supply the anchors
  • Packaging flattened and left in your on-site bins

What’s not included

  • The pergola — you supply it; we supply the expert
  • Concrete footings, pads or grading; the surface must be level and ready
  • Anchors, bolts and fixings beyond what ships in the box — you supply the hardware on every securing or anchoring add-on
  • Electrical for lighting or motorised roofs beyond plugging into an existing outlet
  • Permits where your municipality requires one

What the price is and what moves it

Pergola installation starts at $255 for a 10x10 with canopy. Footprint and roof type set the price — a 12x20 louvred aluminium pergola is a different day from a 10x10 fabric-top.

  • Common sizes on the page: 10x10, 10x12, 10x13, 12x12, 12x16, 12x20 — pick yours and the price updates

  • Wall-mounted set-ups, where offered: +$20 to +$30

  • Pick-up & delivery from the retailer, where offered: from $285
  • Haul-away of packaging off-site: +$99 (otherwise flattened and left in your on-site bins)

Brands we install

Backyard Discovery, Mirador Outdoor, Domi Outdoor Living, Sunvilla, Yardistry, Paragon Outdoor, Erommy and Pergolux are the pergolas most requests are for — and the service is the same for any kit from any retailer. Smaller pergolas are single-visit; large louvred and attached models may be scheduled as a longer appointment — always fixed-price upfront.

Common questions

Does the patio need to be level?
Yes — your expert builds on the surface you provide. A pergola on an uneven base will not square up; your expert will tell you before starting if the slope is beyond what the kit allows.
Can you install a pergola I bought anywhere else?
Yes — Costco, Home Depot, Wayfair, Amazon or direct from the brand. Every job is fixed-price upfront, whatever you bought.
Do you anchor it to the deck?
Add Secure to Patio/Deck when you book — you supply the anchors rated for your surface, your expert fits them.
How long does a pergola take?
Most pergolas are done in a single visit; large louvred or attached models may run longer — always fixed-price upfront.
Can I choose my appointment date?
Yes — you set your appointment preference when you book, and scheduling is flexible if that changes.
