A few recent pergola installs
A small sample of the pergolas we install across the GTA every season.
The part most crews skip.
- A slight slope on a patio or pad is normal. It is how water runs off.
- What matters is how far off it is. A pad that has settled or heaved over a winter can be out enough to matter.
- Build straight onto that and the structure leans, and the load stops sitting evenly across the posts.
- When it is out far enough, we shim with stone or custom-cut wood blocks until the frame is true, then anchor it down.
- Most jobs do not need it. When one does, it is quoted separately.

What a build actually looks like
Scroll through and the photo follows along.
Posts plumb, frame square
The surface gets checked, posts are set plumb and anchored, and the frame is squared before anything is fixed down. A pergola shows every millimetre of error.
Roof and moving parts
Louvers, canopies and any motorised parts fitted and tested end to end. A square frame stops louvers binding.
Walked through with you
Before we leave, we show you the finished pergola and how everything opens and closes.

Common questions
Something else on your mind? Call or text 647-915-8443 and we will answer it straight.
Aluminum or wood, which is less work?
Aluminum kits go up faster and need less maintenance. Wood takes longer and usually wants a level base underneath, but many people prefer the look.
Can you install a louvered pergola?
Yes. Louver systems need the frame properly square or the blades bind, which is the most common problem we get called to fix.
Do you attach pergolas to the house?
We can install both freestanding and attached pergolas. Attached installs depend on the wall construction, so tell us what it is when you ask for a quote.
What size do most people go for?
12x20 and 10x14 are the two we see most. Size affects crew and time, so send us the model and we will quote it.
