Wilmer Jones

Rated 5 out of 5

Steve Gill and crew performed a complete remodel of our kitchen and guest bathroom as well as tiling in the master bath. We also had the entry way and hall tile replaced.

We are very pleased with the work that was done. Steve coordinated with the cabinet and counter top installers as his crew handled the plumbing, electrical, drywall and tile work.

Steve and crew’s attention to detail in all area of the remodel was excellent. He did more than was expected, repairing faulty air ducts and working around “”un-squared”” walls. Couldn’t be more pleased. Give him a 5+ star rating.

How Much Does a Pergola Cost in Killeen, TX?

Most of our clients in Killeen invest somewhere between $15,000 and $30,000 on their pergola or patio cover. That’s a meaningful range, and it exists because no two projects are exactly alike. Size, materials, complexity, and a few other factors all play into the final number. These figures reflect past project estimates, and your project’s cost will depend on your specific details. The best way to get an accurate number is to reach out with your project specifics so we can put together a proper quote.

Here are five factors that commonly shape the final cost:

Size and Footprint: A 10x12 pergola and a 20x30 covered patio are completely different scopes of work. More square footage means more materials, more labor hours, and more engineering. The size you choose should be driven by how you plan to use the space, and we can help you think through what makes sense.
Materials and Finish Quality: Standard aluminum framing is reliable and cost-effective. Upgraded grades, powder coating, and premium finish options add to the price, but they also extend the life of the structure and improve how it looks next to your home. We'll walk you through the options so you can decide what fits your priorities.
Structural Complexity: A straightforward pergola over a level patio is a different job than a multi-level structure built around an existing landscape, grade changes, or architectural features of your home. More complexity takes more planning and more time on-site, and the pricing reflects that honestly.
Lighting and Add-Ons: Integrated lighting, ceiling fans, privacy screens, and electrical connections are popular for good reason. Each one makes the space more functional and more enjoyable, and each one adds to the overall project investment. We can help you figure out which upgrades are worth it for your situation.
Site Conditions and Permits: Sometimes the ground needs preparation, or existing structures need to be worked around before installation begins. Local permitting requirements, soil conditions, and site-specific prep work can all affect the timeline and the budget. We handle the permitting process and give you a clear picture of any site factors upfront.

Budgets and Timelines You Can Plan Around

Construction projects have a reputation for running over in both areas, and we get why homeowners approach this kind of project with some caution. Here’s how we actually handle it.

A well-built pergola is a real investment, and it’s also one that adds genuine value to your home and your daily life. Spread the cost across years of outdoor dinners, weekend afternoons, and space that your family actually gravitates toward, and it starts to look like exactly what it is: money well spent on something that lasts. We also offer small monthly payment options, and because there are no hidden fees, the number on your quote is the number you pay.

Our team shows up when we say we will. We communicate consistently through daily project logs and progress photos, and we leave the work area clean at the end of every day. We hit our deadlines the overwhelming majority of the time, and when something genuinely unexpected comes up, we tell you immediately. You won’t be left guessing where things stand.

Common Questions About Pergola Building in Killeen, TX

Do pergolas require permits in Killeen, TX?

In most cases, yes. Killeen follows Texas building code requirements, and structures above a certain size typically need a permit before work can begin. The good news is that Gill Construction handles the permitting process as part of your project. We know the local requirements, and we take care of that step so you don’t have to navigate it yourself.

How long does a pergola installation take in Killeen?

For most standard projects, installation takes one to three days once materials are on-site and permits are in place. Larger or more complex structures can take longer. Before work begins, we’ll give you a clear timeline and keep you updated throughout, so there are no surprises in the middle of the job.

What's the difference between a pergola and a patio cover?

A pergola typically features an open or lattice-style roof that allows light and air in while providing partial shade. A patio cover is a fully enclosed roof that offers complete protection from rain and direct sun. Both are great options depending on how you plan to use the space. We build both, and we’re happy to help you figure out which one fits your backyard and lifestyle.

How well do pergolas hold up to Central Texas weather?

Very well, when they’re built right. Killeen weather can be demanding, with long, hot summers and occasional severe weather systems, and our pergolas are designed to thrive in those conditions. We use aluminum structures and USA-made Temo products specifically selected for durability in this climate. Add in a 5-year workmanship warranty, and you have a structure that’s built to stay solid and look good for years.
