About Us

OUR STORY

Starting as a family of contractors, we spent years developing our own louvered pergola. Now we offer it direct to consumers, giving American-Made value at a reasonable price.

FROM THE BEGINNING

Starting as a family owned contracting company in 2010, the outdoor living space quickly became the focus. With years of construction background coupled with teenagers ready to help, the first sales and installations were not of louvered systems, but of any other type of shade product, whether it be a covered porch, sunroom, fixed awning, retractable awning, acrylic roof, drop shade, or any other product offered at the time, the company found a large gap in the outdoor space that was beginning to be filled. When a pergola didn't keep the rain or sun out and a covered porch darkened the room adjacent, there were drawbacks to either concept. This is when the company picked up Louvered Systems, first becoming a dealer for a different manufacturer before finding fault in some aspects of its design and spending the next three years developing their own.

Testing A New Design

Every design looks great on a CAD screen, but once you get it in person, you have to test its limits. The polymer end caps that were chosen for the product were the concern of potential failure in high wind or heavy snow loads. After extensive testing involving presses and dozens of parts, the results came back that snow and wind were not a problem for our 30% glass filled polymer end caps. Whether it be Miami or Minnesota, they weren't going to fail.

The First Build

Gathering all the parts inside the United States during the early days of COVID was no small feat. While the product was conceptualized much earlier, it wasn't until August of 2020 that the parts finally came together into a single 4 louver operation to test its functionality. They worked well though minor adjustments continued to the general framework and installation, the basics had performed beautifully. 

 

 

 

The Current Design And Product

Complacency comes when innovation ends. Our family has never been one to rest on our laurels. For that reason, The Luxury Pergola is now better than ever. While the core remains the same, it is significantly easier to install. With new Post/Corner/Gutter Bracket connections, Post to Concrete connections, and Motor Connections, The Luxury Pergola can now be installed in a day without any prior construction experience. To offer a premium product at that availability and ease of installation has been our dream for a long time. They are sold in batches to control our inventory and ensure we don't overproduce, allowing us to pass those inventory savings onto you - the person who will enjoy it most.
