Get a motorized pergola that provides perfect shade when you want it and an open sky when you do not.
You know the situation. A summer barbecue gets cut short because the sun is beating down on everyone. A spring dinner party gets rained out. Your patio furniture fades because it has no protection.
Retractable pergolas change that. With the press of a button, you have instant shade for those scorching July afternoons. Another press, and you are back under an open sky for stargazing. When that typical Long Island afternoon shower rolls in, you are covered instead of scrambling to move everything inside.
Your outdoor space becomes functional—not just pretty to look at, but a place where you can plan events, host dinners, and relax without first checking the weather app. This happens when you can control your environment instead of letting it control you.
We build outdoor construction projects for the 13,740 residents of Stony Brook and communities throughout Long Island. Stony Brook is a distinct hamlet, known for its hilly, wooded terrain sloping down to the Long Island Sound, its historic village center, and the presence of a major university and hospital. You are not hiring a national chain that is unfamiliar with the local conditions.
You understand how Long Island weather works—the summer humidity that makes your deck unusable by noon and the coastal nor’easters that batter the shore. That is why you need motorized pergola systems constructed to handle what this environment presents.
When you call, you are talking to people who have installed these systems in your area. We manage the permitting process with the Town of Brookhaven and know what works best for homes in this community.
First, we visit to look at your space. We do more than take measurements—we assess how you use your patio, where the sun hits, how water drains, and what your neighbors can see. These details matter for getting the design right.
Then we manage the permits and preparation. Most retractable pergola installations require proper footings and electrical connections for the motorized components. We take care of the structural and electrical requirements so you do not have to figure out local building codes.
Installation typically takes two to three days, depending on the size and complexity. We set the structure, run the electrical for the motors, test all the controls, and show you how everything works. You will have remote control operation and, depending on the system, smartphone app control too.
After we are done, you have a pergola that opens and closes on command, handles wind and weather, and gives you the kind of outdoor flexibility that makes sense for how you live.
Ready to get started?
Every retractable pergola installation includes the structural framework, motorized opening mechanism, weather-resistant fabric or louver system, and complete electrical setup. You are not getting a basic awning that you crank by hand.
The systems feature wind sensors, so your pergola automatically closes when conditions get rough. Rain sensors do the same thing when weather moves in. Remote controls let you adjust everything from inside the house.
The materials are selected for Long Island conditions—powder-coated aluminum framework that resists rust and warping, and marine-grade fabric that stands up to UV exposure without fading or tearing. The motors keep working through humidity and temperature changes. This is not patio furniture that you replace every few years.
Most installations also include integrated lighting options and the ability to add heating elements later if you want to extend your outdoor season even further. You are investing in a system that grows with how you use your space.
