Colorado Springs homeowners crave outdoor spaces that can handle high-altitude sun, sudden hail, and 300+ days of blue-sky beauty. A custom pergola delivers all three—shade, style, and real estate value—when it is engineered and built for local conditions. CountBricks combines AI-driven estimating with seasoned craft crews to make your pergola Colorado Springs project seamless from first idea to final inspection.
Real-Time Voice Estimates
Speak with our AI estimator on your phone, tablet, or laptop, describe the size, materials, and accessories you want, and receive an itemized cost breakdown in seconds. Labor hours, lumber prices, hardware, and finish options update instantly from the CountBricks cost database, so you know you are seeing today’s numbers—not last quarter’s averages.
Blueprint Takeoffs in Minutes
Upload a sketch or PDF of your yard and the CountBricks takeoff engine calculates post spacing, beam spans, footing locations, and concrete volumes automatically. No more guesswork or back-and-forth revisions.
Local Craftsmanship, Front Range Tough
Our field teams live and build in Colorado Springs. We spec powder-coated hardware that resists freeze-thaw cycles, select cedar and redwood grades that handle low humidity, and apply UV-blocking stains formulated for the high plains sun.
• Western red cedar for a warm, knotty look
• Rough-sawn Douglas fir for a mountain-modern vibe
• Powder-coated steel posts for a slim contemporary profile
• Retractable canopy systems that roll out when the midday sun hits
• Integrated LED lighting and outdoor heaters for four-season use
Permits in El Paso County can feel like a maze. CountBricks navigates setbacks, height limits, and utility locates for you. We prepare sealed drawings, submit the packet, and field inspector questions so you don’t have to burn vacation days at the permit desk. If an HOA approval is required, we supply color chips, material samples, and structural data that boards love.
1. On-site laser measurement to confirm AI takeoff accuracy
2. Soil probe to determine footing depth and concrete mix design
3. Post setting and alignment verification with digital levels
4. Beam and rafter installation using hidden structural screws for a clean look
5. Finish sanding, staining, and punch-list walkthrough with you
Small 10'×10' cedar pergolas start around $7,800 installed. Mid-size 12'×16' upgrades with steel posts and a motorized canopy typically fall between $14,000 and $18,000. Premium 16'×20' builds with custom stone columns, lighting, and integrated fire features can exceed $25,000. Because CountBricks updates material costs daily, your quoted range stays accurate right up to contract signing.
• Schedule construction between November and February when crew availability is higher and lumber suppliers run seasonal promos.
• Opt for a semi-transparent stain instead of paint—lower maintenance and fewer prep coats reduce labor.
• Choose galvanized hardware with decorative wrap kits instead of solid steel brackets to get the look for less.
• Run conduit during footing pours even if you are not adding electricity now—retrofits cost triple later.
• Bundle your pergola with a small deck resurfacing project; shared mobilization cuts duplicate setup fees.
• Estimate-Only Package — Use our AI tools for DIY budgeting, includes two design revisions.
• Design & Build Package — Full drawings, permitting, and construction with a single point of contact.
• Premium Outdoor Living Suite — Pergola plus kitchen, fire pit, or spa integration, showcased at CountBricks.com/portfolio.

Sarah and Miguel loved entertaining, but their south-facing patio baked in the summer sun. They contacted CountBricks through the AI chat on CountBricks.com/services and uploaded a quick phone sketch. Within ten minutes, they received a 14'×14' cedar pergola estimate that broke down:
• Lumber and hardware: $5,940
• Labor: $3,600
• Permit and inspection fees: $240
• Total projected cost: $9,780
The couple chose our Design & Build Package. CountBricks engineers swapped standard 6×6 posts for powder-coated steel to match their modern railing. LED strip lights were routed into the rafters, and a snow-sensor canopy was added to auto-retract during storms. The final invoice—generated instantly through CountBricks—came in on budget at $11,200.
• 15-degree temperature drop under the pergola during peak sun
• 12% increase in appraised home value, confirmed by their refinance appraisal
• Two-week turnaround from permit issue to final walkthrough
• Incorporating smart tech (sensors, app-controlled lighting) can be done for under 8% of total cost when planned at design stage.
• Early soil testing avoided a costly mid-build footing redesign.
• Voice revisions saved three site visits, accelerating the schedule by four days.
