Pergola & Patio Cover Costs in the Treasure Valley

You’ve got the vision—string lights, grill, the works. But when you Google the cost to build a pergola, it’s chaos. Here’s the local reality: most pergolas here land $4,000–$6,000. A common 10×10 runs about $4,251 (~$30–$60/sq ft), depending on material, spans, and accessories. We even offer starter models around $2,000 for a clean, budget-friendly shade solution.

Need fast clarity? Think in ranges: cedar pergola cost typically sits higher than vinyl/aluminum due to finishing and maintenance, while StruXure pergola cost (motorized louvered) is premium for four-season control.
