“We worked with INSTALL-IT-DIRECT to completely redo our backyard.  We installed pavers, a new pergola, paver walls, and a natural gas fire pit.  Chris was awesome from start-to-finish.  His communication skills are top-notch and he proposes really great design ideas that we hadn’t even thought of ourselves.  The workers showed up on-time every day and everything came through as scheduled and I was kept in the loop on everything that was going on.  This was very well organized and executed.  Special thanks to Chris for being a really nice and funny guy too.  I would work with this company again in a heartbeat.”

This is the third time Install-It-Direct has done work on our property and they are just as good now as they were in 2010 when they did the first project. Rich, Patrick, Cosme, and crew understood that it was a painful but necessary decision for us to comply with the State’s AB 3074 Zone Zero. Plans were drawn up and a meeting on site that included a very thorough walk-through of the project was done several days before the start date so there would be no surprises. They listened and answered every question. We are very pleased with what they did and how they did it. There was daily contact with Patrick and Rich while the work was being done and they have stayed in touch to make sure we are happy with the project.”

Frequently Asked Questions About
Pergola Installation

What type of material do you recommend for a pergola?

It depends on your style and maintenance preferences. Wood (cedar or redwood) has a natural look but requires upkeep. Aluminum and vinyl are durable, weather-resistant, and low-maintenance. Steel and fiberglass are the most durable, lasting decades with minimal care.

Can you install a pergola on an existing patio or deck?

Yes, but the surface must be strong enough to support it. We assess the existing structure and, if needed, reinforce it for stability and safety.

Can I add lighting, fans, or heaters to my pergola?

Yes, we can integrate electrical wiring for lighting, ceiling fans, or heaters, making your pergola more functional and comfortable year-round.

Do you need a permit to install a pergola?

In San Diego, a permit may be required if the pergola is attached to your home, over a certain height, or includes electrical work. We can help determine what’s needed and handle the paperwork.

How long does a typical pergola last?

Wood pergolas last 10–20 years with proper maintenance. Aluminum, vinyl, and steel pergolas can last 30+ years with minimal upkeep, making them a long-term investment.
