Why Invest in Professional Pergola Installation
A pergola improves both how your property looks and how you use it every day. Getting it right requires pergola contractors who understand structure, site conditions, and long-term performance.

EXCELLENT Based on 38 reviews Posted on Google Rachael NaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rich and Rick were absolutely amazing to work with on our recent back deck and front porch project! They were prompt, efficient and great with communicating each step of the project. We were impressed with the attention to detail from the renderings down to even our final walk through of the project. We are so happy with their work that we are now looking to use them for our basement and any other future projects we have! Will add pictures once we furnish the deck and front porch!Posted on Google RandyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our backyard feels like a whole new space now thanks to Villandry Home and Outdoor Living. We live right here in Merrimack and the old deck was getting sketchy after all these New England winters boards warping, nails popping up, and it just didnt feel safe anymore with the family out there. The crew was awesome showed up every morning on time worked careful around our landscaping and neighbors cleaned up perfect no junk left behind. Took longer than some quotes cuz they did it right but worth it. Now its this beautiful multi level thing with solid railings and built in lighting we use it constantly for dinners or just coffee in the morning.Posted on Google Robin CostainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I could not have been happier with the remodel that Rick and his crew did at our home. He pays special attention to every detail no matter how small. He only does top quality work and does not cut corners. He is a professional to work with, he took our design, he explained how and why something might work better, at the same time understanding the look we wanted to achieve. He stayed on schedule or ahead. Absolutely an awesome experience. I highly recommend Villandry Home and Outdoor Living, without hesitation.Posted on Google Tom BolandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love our new multi-level Fortress deck! Villandry Home & Outdoor Living were great to work with and clearly take the utmost pride in their work. They were excellent communicators, and were very respectful of our property and of our neighbors on what was a very challenging lakefront job site. I can't speak highly enough of the Villandry's and their crew. They are consummate professionals, made the process enjoyable, and left us with a beautiful finished product that we will be able to enjoy for as long as we choose to live here.Posted on Google Stacie SebringTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Rick & his team for your projects & you can trust your property will be treated with great care. I hired them for a deck project & I'm thrilled with the results! Their customer service is exceptional. They are professional & pleasant to work with & their attention to detail is exceptional. My deck project came with problems that needed to be solved. Rick asked a lot of detailed questions regarding the issues and made changes along the way to prevent any future issues. Jason spent most of the time there alone completing the deck bc of an injured employee at the start of the job. He arrived on time everyday, he powered though & worked very hard, patiently answered all of my questions & cleaned up my property leaving it better than it was before he arrived. I can't thank you all enough for the wonderful addition to my property.Posted on Google Andrea SrinivasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Most sincerely, Andrea Srinivas, owner of Andrea Srinivas Design, LLCPosted on Google Curtis MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Villandry team is amazing. They communicated almost daily on all aspects of the project. The way the project was scheduled was amazing, between their work and their subs, there was always progress going on. The attention to detail was very impressive. I was consulted on project elements throughout entire process. The project was delivered ahead of schedule, on budget, and with a level of professionalism that is unmatched. These guys care about their projects, clients, and the quality of the work they produce and it shows in every aspect of how they operate. From guidance through the design process, project estimating, and construction they consistently demonstrated a level of expertise that every homeowner looking to take on a project needs.Posted on Google Mark SargentTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Villandry Home & Outdoor Living was an absolute pleasure. Words alone really can not convey how wonderful of an experience it was working with Rick, Rich, Jason, Mariah and all of the subcontractors. From the very beginning in the initial conversations with Rich I had a feeling that this was going to be great. Rich took the time to talk us through the entire process and pulled together a beautiful design that was going to meet our needs as a family perfectly. When the project began working with Rick and the team he has assembled was just as terrific. The communication throughout the entire process was really unlike any other experience we have had with previous contractors. The professionalism of the team was incredible as well. They were here everyday working so hard and then at the end of the day ensured that the job site was clean (spotless really) was so impressive and very much appreciated. It was to be expected to uncover some ‘surprises’ during the renovation but the conversations around the problem and the fixes were very informative and again appreciated. As the project wound down, I have to say that my wife and I would not change a thing about the project. The whole project itself was managed beautifully and the result really speaks for itself. Their work is nothing else but QUALITY craftsmanship. They all were amazing at their trades but what is more telling honestly is that they are great people. Thank you so much Rick, Rich and team you are amazing and really made not only a positive change to our home but impacted and changed our lives for the better.Posted on Google Raj ParikhTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

It has been a pleasure working with them and I look forward to future projects with them at my home as well.
Common Questions About PVC Decking

Attached, freestanding, louvered, flat-roof, and fully custom configurations each serve different property layouts and lifestyle needs. Choosing the right one depends on placement, coverage requirements, and how the pergola will connect to your existing outdoor space.

Material options range from natural wood and composite to aluminum, steel, PVC, and fiberglass, each offering a distinct combination of appearance and upkeep. Our team helps you match the right material to your design goals and maintenance expectations.
What key components make up a standard pergola installation?
