Custom Pergola Contractor in Toronto & GTA
Choosing a responsible and skilled contractor is essential in any construction project. Our team’s top priority is always craftsmanship and responsibility. We are not ready to do things in a shoddy manner, because this is not only our reputation, but also our conscience. Each project we undertake is more than just a building, it is creativity and quality of execution to achieve a sustainable and long-lasting result.
It all starts with a conversation — a consultation where we take the time to understand your vision, discuss the possibilities and create the final design project together. Then comes the stage of approval, ordering materials and installation of the new structure.
For many years now, we have been working exclusively with trusted suppliers of building materials. Wood, stone, metal, and wiring materials — everything is checked for compliance with the standards of the bone. And every pergola we have built and installed is designed to withstand the variability of the Canadian climate in all seasons.
From our initial meeting and discussion to the final installation of the finished pergola, we manage every aspect of the project ourselves, overseeing the entire process and nuances to save you time and peace of mind.

For all connoisseurs of traditional style and natural wainscoting, our custom-made wooden pergolas will be a real find. A wooden structure can create cosiness and warmth on any grey day, so that no weather or emotional troubles can spoil your mood. The advantages of choosing a wooden pergola are as follows:
✔ Organic and harmonious. The natural texture and pleasing shades of the wood blend seamlessly with the garden landscape and living plants, creating a feeling of being at home in the forest.
✔ Individuality. The design of a wooden pergola can be quite variable – you choose the shape of the building, the texture and colours of the wood, as well as all the additional functionality to best suit your wishes.
✔ A variety of wooden options. There are many variations of fine quality woods to choose from, including cedar, beech and pressure-treated wood. Each material will have its own special properties and will suit different needs and applications.
There is something truly magical and enduring about the charm of natural wood. It’s the warmth and sense of calm it gives. A wooden pergola among lush trees seems to be a timeless structure that can completely change the nature of the environment and its perception.

Frequently Asked Questions
We know that starting a new construction project is always nerve-wracking – the process of finding ideas, contractors and materials is fraught with challenges, and we’re here to make it a little bit easier for you. Whatever your concerns and questions — we have the solutions.
How much does it cost to build a custom pergola?
The price of any building always consists of a certain list of factors, namely: the size and scale of the building, materials, components and fittings, the complexity of the installation of the structure, and all the additional functionality. Only after discussing your needs and clearly agreeing on the project will we be able to prepare an actual estimate based on the current budget limit.
How long does the installation process take?
The timeframe for installing a custom pergola depends on the size and complexity of the project. As a rule, the process can take from a few days to several weeks. We strive to complete projects efficiently without compromising on quality.
Do I need a permit to build a pergola in Toronto?
Permitting requirements by law depend on the size and location of the pergola. We can advise you on local regulations and guide you through the process of obtaining all necessary permits to ensure that the construction is in strict compliance with local municipal regulations.
Can you help with design ideas for my pergola?
Absolutely! Our designers will work with you from day one to develop a pergola design that fits your vision, complements your home’s architectural style, and meets your functional needs.
Can I change the size and design of my pergola?
Of course! We don’t trust one-size-fits-all solutions, as they take away from the building’s character. Our designers listen to your every thought to bring your vision and desires to life. You choose literally everything: from the size and materials to the style of the roof and even the smallest decorative accents — to make your outdoor space look truly unique and inimitable, personally yours.
Which pergola canopy is the best for creating shade and protection from the weather?
A custom pergola canopy is the next level of comfort that will provide a pleasant shade from the summer sun and protect you from light spring rain. Such canopies can be retractable, adjustable or fixed, allowing you to control the amount of sunlight that gets inside. It’s also a great way to protect your outdoor furniture from the weather — no more bringing your chairs inside at the first drop of rain.
What is the best material for a pergola: wood or aluminium?
Both materials have certain pros and cons. For example, wooden buildings look more natural and aesthetically pleasing, and natural wood can be easily repainted in any colour to match your style preferences. However, such a pergola will require a little more attention to protect the wood from rain and snow. Aluminium structures, on the other hand, are very durable, resistant to rust and rot, and need minimal maintenance. It’s hard to say definitively which is the best choice, as it depends on your style preferences, maintenance expectations, and budget.
Will my pergola require maintenance over time?
Wooden structures are more cosy and natural, but they require some maintenance. Periodically, such pergolas will need to be additionally sealed and tinted to protect them from weather factors: moisture, sunlight, etc. Aluminum pergolas require minimal maintenance — periodic washing of the structures with water or detergents will be enough to keep them looking excellent.
Can I add lighting or other features to my pergola?
Definitely! We can additionally install LED lighting, cosy garlands, contemporary ceiling fans, safety heaters and even motorised awnings to extend the functionality of your pergola. You can customise the space as you wish — the more interesting the idea, the brighter the result!
Do you offer pergola custom kits for sale in Ontario?
Of course! You can order ready-made individual kits for building a DIY pergola from us. The kit will include the necessary parts and materials, as well as clear instructions that you can handle even easier than Lego. Additionally, we can offer advice on planning, decorating or assembling the pergola — our craftsmen are ready to help at any stage.
