Your Pergola Builders & Installers questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much does a pergola installation cost?

A pergola installation costs $10 to $65 per square foot. A small 10’ by 10’ pergola will cost between $1,000 to $6,500, while a larger 12’ x 20’ pergola will cost $2,400 to $15,600. The primary factor that influences the cost of a pergola installation is the size and dimensions. Larger pergolas cost more for materials and labor time.

Another factor that affects the cost of a pergola installation is the complexity of the design. Simple, open-air pergolas are less costly than those with custom features such as built-in heaters, cooling systems, sound systems, and rain and wind sensors.

What is a pergola?

A pergola is an outdoor structure with an open beam roof. They are typically made from wood, metal, or vinyl, and can be freestanding or attached to a house. Pergolas are used to create shaded walkways, designated gathering spaces, and climbing plant designs.

Pergolas offer shade from the sun and create a beautiful focal point in your yard while increasing your outdoor living space. Pergolas can have stationary louvers or movable ones that allow you to adjust the amount of sun or shade you let through.

Can a pergola be installed on grass?

Yes, a pergola can be installed on grass, but it's not the most common method compared to a solid concrete or paved surface. While it requires some extra preparation work, it can be a viable option if done correctly.

The main challenge is ensuring a stable foundation since grass can shift and settle over time. To address this, the ground needs to be level and any obstacles cleared. One common method for creating a stable base is to install concrete footings or piers in the ground for the pergola posts to connect to.

Can you install solar panels on a pergola?

Installing solar panels on a pergola is possible, but there are some important considerations regarding the pergola strength, structural engineering, and the optimal angle you need to keep in mind. Solar panels can be surprisingly heavy, and depending on the pergola size it might need reinforcement.

You’ll need to consult with a structural engineer to see if the pergola can handle the additional weight and wind load from the solar panels. Finally, for the best energy production, the panels need to be tilted at a specific angle, which may require modifications to your pergola’s design.

Do you need a permit to install a pergola?

Whether or not you need a permit to install a pergola depends on where you live and the size of the pergola. Many cities don’t require a permit unless the pergola is 200 square feet in size. Contact your local building department to see if your pergola project needs a permit and what specifications you need to follow. It's the safest course of action to avoid any complications down the line.

If you live in a community with an HOA, they might have additional rules or restrictions regarding pergolas. Check with your HOA to ensure your project complies with their guidelines.

How do I choose a pergola installer?

Choosing the right pergola installerrequires careful consideration to ensure a high-quality and safe addition to your outdoor space. Here are some key factors to consider:

  • Expertise and experience: Look for installers who specialize in pergolas and other outdoor structures. They should have a proven track record of designing and building pergolas using various materials and designs.
  • Licensing and insurance: Verify that the installer has the necessary licenses and insurance for operating in your area. This protects you in case of any accidents or injuries during the installation process.
  • Communication and customer service: During consultations, choose an installer who actively listens to your needs and preferences. They should be clear and transparent about the design options, materials, and costs involved.
  • Multiple bids: Get quotes from at least 3 qualified installers. This allows you to compare pricing, materials used, and the scope of work included. Don't solely focus on the cheapest option; consider the value proposition and the installer's experience.
  • Permits and inspections: Inquire if the installer handles obtaining any necessary permits from your local building department. Some may include this service in their quote, while others might expect you to manage it.

What questions should I ask a pergola installer?

Ask these questions to make an informed decision and feel confident about choosing the right pergola installation contractor for your project:

  • Can you help me design a pergola that complements my existing outdoor space and architectural style?
  • Do you offer different pergola styles (attached, freestanding, etc.) and materials (wood, vinyl, metal)?
  • Will the pergola design allow for future additions like shade sails or climbing vines?
  • What types of materials do you recommend for pergolas in my area, considering factors like weather and durability?
  • Do you source high-quality materials with warranties?
  • Will you handle obtaining any necessary permits from the local building department? If not, can you advise me on the process?
  • What steps do you take to ensure a safe and secure installation?
  • How long will the installation process take?
  • Will you clean up the worksite after installation?
  • Can you provide a detailed breakdown of the estimated costs for the project, including materials, labor, and any permits?
  • Can you provide me with references from past clients with similar pergola projects?
  • Do you have liability insurance in case of any accidents during installation?
  • Are there any ongoing maintenance requirements for the pergola, and can you advise on how to maintain it properly?

Jose did an amazing job installing our frameless glass shower door. I had another contractor tell me it would be too difficult and I should return it, but Jose managed it in an afternoon and it looks perfect! He is very professional and punctual too.
