Still in his father's life, the council of the Toledo Cathedral of Toledo named him his sculptor in the year 1573. Together with his father, he performed the two bronze lecterns of the choir of the Cathedral, and when his father died two years later, he worked with his brother Juan de Vergara, to finish the stained glass windows of the cathedral, works that ended in 1580 .

He was appointed twice as the master of the Cathedral, the second time in 1587, remaining in office until his death. He then began the works of the Chapel of the Tabernacle in Herrerian style and was responsible for the traces of the architectural complex of the Chapel of the Tabernacle, Reliquary, Sacristy and courtyard and house of the treasurer. He also made the window of the rosette of the door of the Lions and on the interior facade of the clock door the medallion of the Virgin of the Annunciation.
