Itemized pergola installation estimate

The table below uses the same quantities and unit prices as the downloadable PDF. Amounts are in US dollars; the location provides context and does not make these local market rates.

Pergola installation example — USD Work item | Quantity | Unit price | Amount |

Site review and layout | 1 job | $260.00 | $260.00 |

Pergola kit allowance | 1 set | $2,450.00 | $2,450.00 |

Post-base and anchor allowance | 4 set | $145.00 | $580.00 |

Kit assembly labor | 1 job | $1,380.00 | $1,380.00 |

Finish touch-up allowance | 1 job | $210.00 | $210.00 |

Packaging removal and cleanup | 1 job | $175.00 | $175.00 |

Subtotal / example total | $5,055.00 |

Tax and markup: not included. Determine and apply the appropriate values for your own job. A zero tax entry in this example does not mean the work is tax-exempt.

How to read the quantities

Four post-base allowances × $145 = $580. The $2,450 kit allowance plus $580 anchoring allowance gives $3,030 in those example product lines.

What the example includes—and leaves out

The sample assumes a suitable prepared location. Footings, slabs or structural anchoring should be determined for the actual site and quoted explicitly when needed.

Outside this scope: No engineered foundation, slab construction, lighting, utility relocation, landscape restoration or unlisted permit fees.

Keep unresolved selections and site conditions visible. If a measurement, material choice or repair requirement changes, revise the relevant quantity or allowance and share the updated estimate before proceeding with the added work.

Common questions

Is a pergola kit price the whole job?

No. Site review, anchors, assembly, finish and cleanup are separate parts of this example.

Can the posts sit on any patio?

Support and anchoring must be evaluated for the selected structure and actual site before the estimate is finalized.
