10 Best Pergola Builders in McCordsville, IN

McCordsville summers are short, and the best ones are spent outside, somewhere cool and shaded, with people you love to be around.

McCordsville has been growing fast, and if you’ve spent time near Town Hall Park or caught one of the community gatherings at McCord Square, you’ve probably noticed how much pride people here put into their outdoor spaces.

A pergola fits naturally into that picture. It turns a backyard from something you glance at into somewhere you actually use: Sunday mornings, summer dinners, the kind of evenings that feel worth holding onto.

Getting there means choosing the right contractor. Plenty of companies will take your call, but the difference between a pergola that ages well and one you’re patching in three years comes down to who builds it.

We’ve put together this comparison to make that decision a straightforward one.

1. Decks On Point

Picking the right materials for Indiana winters is something most homeowners don’t think about until after they’ve made a costly mistake, and we’ve seen it happen enough times to take it personally.

At Decks On Point, we’ve served 200+ Indiana homeowners and completed more than 15 pergolas across Westfield, Noblesville, Greenfield, McCordsville, and surrounding communities.
Every build carries a 3-year workmanship warranty, and we stand behind it without hesitation.

Our first choice in materials is premium rough-sawn cedar. It handles Indiana’s freeze-thaw cycles, summer humidity, and seasonal heat better than most alternatives, and after a season or two, it develops a character that manufactured materials simply can’t replicate.

That said, we build across a full range of options:

Before any build begins, we offer full 2D and 3D design services. You see your pergola before a single post goes in, and if anything needs adjusting, we adjust it.

Our real project prices tell the story better than general estimates:

Every job starts with a free, no-obligation on-site visit. Most pergolas are completed in a day or two, and when our crew leaves, your yard is clean, and the structure is ready to use.

Carter was a pleasure to work with from quote to completion. He listened to us, presented ideas and solutions. He is familiar with a wide variety of decking material, the pluses and minuses. Carter provided a very detailed quote.

He is always with his crew onsite building the deck which was very important to us. His construction knowledge extends beyond decks which was helpful when we discovered damage around our windows.

He is very particular and takes great pride in the quality of his work and it shows.

We are extremely glad we selected Decks on Point. We highly recommend this company!

We recently had a new R-Shade put up on our back deck. The finished product has been fantastic and we enjoyed working with the crew to plan out and execute our vision.

We recently used Archadeck of Northern Indianapolis to tear out our old deck and install a brand new deck with a pergola. They did, from start to finish an excellent job. We met with Ryan who outlined a terrific design idea for us; took care of all the inspection details and Terry the person who oversaw the actual construction, and his crew were just great. They answered all questions, made adjustments when we needed to have additional old deck materials removed. They maintained a clean work site, accomplished the work in a timely fashion and came in right on budget. Would use them again in a heartbeat.

I’ve worked with Artisan on a few projects. As a contractor it’s been a pleasure working with the team they’ve put together. Projects are completed on time (if not earlier) and with undeniable quality. Each stage progressing smoothly. From the initial concept to the finished product. They’ve built a custom Torii Gate, custom pergola with screen panels, and a 50′ x 28′ 3 tiered pergola. Pricing is very much in line with craftsmanship provided! Ryan, Roy, Brian, Jeremy, and too many others on the team to mention, are a phenomenal team!

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value. Kyle and Josh and the rest of the guys at platinum deck and patio did a fantastic job. They were responsive, timely, and quick. And best of all the quality far outweighed the expense. We’ve already referred them to some family for their new deck.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the excellent job Justin Rusher of Hittle Construction (HC) did with our exterior project. HC collaborated with Sundown Gardens and did a seamless job coordinating efforts. HC’s portion of the project included upper decking and installing a spiral staircase. The results surpassed our expectations . . . beautiful design and impressive work! Overall, Justin did an amazing job leading his team. We extend a special shout-out to Ronaldo, Project Manager. Our compliments to the HC crew for their work ethics and skill level. They worked diligently, did an exceptional job, and finished each day with an impeccable clean-up. I can confidently recommend the Hittle Construction team lead by Justin. We look forward to working with them once again on future projects.

We looked for a solution to our back porch for over two years and met with several contractors who could not come up with anything due to the complexity of the architecture of our home. We wanted something that was weather proof, and yet still did not make the back of our home dark. The Smart Pergola® was the perfect solution and has lived up to every expectation. What used to be too hot if the sun was out, or wet when it was raining has been the perfect oasis for our family, regardless of weather. The Smart Pergola® team was first class, efficient, and knowledgeable. This is now our favorite room in our home.

Troy Built Decks removed my old pergola and installed a top-notch, well constructed cedar pergola. It is beautiful! The workmanship is excellent, Troy and his team were communicative throughout the entire process and were quick to get back to me with answers to my questions. And, Troy kept me up-to-date on the progress throughout the project. Overall, the best contractor that I’ve worked with and wholeheartedly recommend Troy and his team.

Troy and his team built a cedar deck and pergola for us four years ago. They were thorough and completed the work on time even with me adding some scope to the project. The deck is still absolutely beautiful and holding up very well. I highly recommend!

I am beyond thrilled at the work that BarkYard Living is able to create. These folks are pros! Craig‘s is an absolute pleasure to work with. His background being a professional engineer is what that sets him apart from other deck builders. He is very attentive to details. You can tell that he truly cares about the final product. The entire team including the office, Debbie, and the workers are passionate and follow through on their commitments. Also I must say, their final cleanup at the jobsite is second to none. I highly recommend BackYard Living for all your deck work needs!
