Custom Pergola Design Options

Built for Your Space and Style

Every retractable pergola we install is sized specifically for your patio or deck. We’re not limited to standard sizes – your space determines the dimensions, not a catalog.

You’ll choose from multiple color options for both the frame and fabric. The motorized system includes remote control and smartphone app connectivity. Many customers add LED lighting, heating elements, or integrated sound systems.

We handle everything from basic weather protection to full outdoor room conversions. The structure is engineered for Long Island wind loads and snow conditions. All electrical work is performed by licensed electricians and inspected to code.

Your installation includes comprehensive warranty coverage on both materials and workmanship. We’re also available for seasonal maintenance, though most customers find these systems remarkably low-maintenance compared to traditional awnings or umbrellas.

How much does a retractable pergola cost in Island Trees?

Most retractable pergola installations in Island Trees range from $8,000 to $25,000, depending on size, features, and site conditions. A basic 12×12 motorized unit typically starts around $12,000 installed. Larger spaces, premium fabrics, integrated lighting, or complex electrical requirements increase the investment. We provide detailed written estimates after measuring your space and understanding your specific needs. The cost includes professional installation, permits, and warranty coverage.

Will a retractable pergola work in Long Island winters?

Yes, but with important considerations. The pergola structure itself is engineered for Long Island snow loads and wind conditions. However, the fabric should be retracted during heavy snow or ice storms to prevent damage. Most customers retract their pergolas for the winter months and extend them from spring through fall. The motorized components are weather-sealed and designed for year-round outdoor exposure. We provide specific guidelines for seasonal use and maintenance during your installation walkthrough.

How long does pergola installation take?

Most retractable pergola installations take 1-2 days once we begin work. Simple installations on existing patios often complete in one day. Projects requiring electrical work, concrete footings, or complex mounting situations may take two days. Weather can affect timing, especially for electrical connections. We schedule installations when forecasts show clear conditions. The actual timeline depends on your specific site conditions, pergola size, and any additional features like lighting or heating elements.

What maintenance do retractable pergolas require?

Retractable pergolas require minimal maintenance compared to traditional awnings. You’ll need to clean the fabric occasionally with mild soap and water. The motorized components should be inspected annually, which we can handle during a service visit. Keep the tracks clear of debris and lubricate moving parts as needed. Most customers find these systems much easier to maintain than umbrellas, traditional awnings, or permanent structures. We provide detailed maintenance guidelines and are available for service calls when needed.

Can I control my pergola with my phone?

Yes, most retractable pergola systems we install include smartphone app control in addition to the standard remote control. You can extend, retract, and adjust positioning from anywhere in your home or yard. Some systems also integrate with smart home platforms like Alexa or Google Home. The app typically includes scheduling features, so you can program automatic operation based on time of day or weather conditions. We’ll set up the app during installation and show you all available features.

Do you need permits for pergola installation in Island Trees?

Permit requirements depend on the pergola size, mounting method, and electrical work involved. Most retractable pergola installations require building permits in Nassau County. We handle the permit application process as part of our service, including submitting plans and coordinating inspections. The permitting process typically takes 2-3 weeks. We don’t start installation until all permits are approved. This protects you from code violations and ensures your installation meets all local requirements for safety and property value.
