Louvered pergolas that open to the sky and close against the rain
Dial in the exact amount of sun or shade, then close the roof tight when the weather turns. Engineered aluminum, hidden motors, and a finished look that lasts.
A louvered pergola is an adjustable aluminum roof. The louvers rotate through a full range of positions so you can let the sun in, throw the patio into full shade, or close the roof completely onto a weather seal when it rains. It turns an unusable afternoon patio into a room you reach for every day.
Ours are built around a concealed drive system: a marine-grade stainless-steel bar and a quiet motor run hidden inside the extruded aluminum frame, protected from the weather and out of sight. The blades are structural 6061 aluminum, and the beams and posts are sized for your specific wind zone, with stamped plans and permits handled by us.
From there it becomes an outdoor room. Automate the louvers with rain, sun, and wind sensors, control everything from an app or remote, and add screens, heaters, lighting, and speakers. Choose a powder-coat color or a warm woodgrain finish to match your home.
What sets our louvered pergolas apart
Fully adjustable louvers
Rotate the blades to any position for precise sun and shade, then close them onto a weather seal so rain sheds into integrated gutters instead of onto your patio.
Motors and hardware hidden in the frame
The drive system and motor run inside the aluminum beams — nothing exposed to the elements or to view, so the ceiling stays clean and the mechanism stays protected.
Engineered for California sun and wind
Structural aluminum, custom-sized beams and posts for your wind zone, and a fade- and corrosion-resistant powder coat. Built and permitted to code.
Smart, sensor-driven comfort
Add rain, sun, and wind sensors plus app and remote control. The roof can close itself at the first drops or open to track the afternoon sun.
Lighting and wiring built in
The beams conceal electrical runs for recessed LEDs, fans, and heaters — a finished, integrated ceiling with no exposed cords.

- Motorized zip screens for sun, wind, and privacy
- Recessed LED lighting, LED strips, and string lights (dimmable)

Common questions about louvered pergolas
Can a louvered pergola handle rain?
Yes. The louvers close onto a weather seal and water sheds into integrated gutters. Add a rain sensor and the roof will close itself automatically at the first drops.
Motorized or manual?
Both are available. Most clients choose a quiet motor with remote, app, and sensor control; a manual hand crank is an option where power isn't needed.
Will it hold up to Bay Area wind and sun?
Yes. The structure is engineered and permitted for your wind zone, and the powder-coated aluminum resists fading, rust, and salt-air corrosion.
How much does a louvered pergola cost?
Most projects land between $18,000 and $45,000 depending on size, motorization, and add-ons like lighting and screens. You'll get a fixed, line-item quote after your design consult, and we offer in-house financing on up to 40% of your project.
