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
  • Secure to Patio/Deck: +$155 (+$205 on the largest units) — you supply the anchors
  • Wall-mounted set-ups, where offered: +$20 to +$30
  • Move Boxes to Backyard: +$105 (pallets left on the driveway are heavy — add this if you cannot move them)
  • Pick-up & delivery from the retailer, where offered: from $255
  • Haul-away of packaging off-site: +$99 (otherwise flattened and left in your on-site bins)
  • A few states carry a small location adjustment; it appears in your price the moment you choose your location

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.
