How much should it cost for installing an attached pergola or shade
structure for a patio?

That would be very highly dependant on how "fancy" you want it.

Plain pressure treated 2x lumber on 4x4 posts, all with plain straight
cuts, would be far far different than an elaborate cedar structure
with Greek-temple style columns and decorative ends on all the
horizontal pieces, even if both cover the same area. So much
different that this would need to be established before even getting a
ballpark price.
