Motorized Louvered
Pergolas.
Control sun, shade, airflow, and rain with a motorized louvered roof selected for your site and project goals. EDG compares multiple systems and confirms the engineering, drainage, and controls before final design.
A Louvered Roof That Adapts to Your Day
A motorized louvered pergola is an architectural outdoor structure with rotating aluminum louvers that adjust sunlight and airflow. Movement range, controls, and rain performance vary by system.
When a system is designed and installed for rain management, closed louvers route water into integrated gutters and posts. EDG confirms those details for the actual layout before they become part of the proposal.
For homeowners across the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor, this means finally having an outdoor space that works as hard as your indoor spaces—usable in bright sun, light rain, or that perfect summer evening. For builders and architects nationwide, it means specifying a system your clients will love, backed by a partner who handles the complexity.
Engineered for Performance
Every component is designed to work together, creating an outdoor structure that outperforms and outlasts conventional alternatives.
Adjustable Louvers
Selected systems use adjustable louvers to tune sunlight, shade, and ventilation. The available movement range, rain performance, and drainage details depend on the model, layout, engineering, and installation conditions.
Integrated Rain Management
Many louvered systems can route rain through integrated gutters and posts when specified for that function. EDG coordinates drainage with the patio, structure, local conditions, and selected system rather than assuming one detail fits every site.
Motorized Operation
Controls can be planned around the selected system: handheld remotes, wall switches, app control, and presets where supported. Motor, control, and automation options are confirmed during specification.
Smart Home Integration
Some selected systems can coordinate with compatible controls, lighting, sensors, or home-automation platforms. EDG verifies the available integration path before it becomes part of the project scope.
LED Lighting Systems
Extend your outdoor enjoyment into the evening with integrated LED lighting. Our lighting packages include perimeter strip lighting for ambient glow, recessed spotlights for task lighting over dining areas, and dimmable controls to set the perfect mood. All lighting is fully integrated into the frame—no visible wires or external fixtures.
Wind & Snow Load Engineering
Wind, snow, attachment, and drainage requirements are reviewed for the selected system and site. Ratings, sensor behavior, and operating guidance vary by model, engineering, approvals, and local conditions.

From Vision to Reality
A site-specific process that connects consultation, design, engineering, installation, and ongoing care.
Consultation
We visit your site to understand your space, how you plan to use it, and your aesthetic preferences. We bring samples and discuss options tailored to your specific needs.
Design
Our team creates detailed 3D renderings of your pergola, showing exactly how it will look from every angle. We finalize dimensions, colors, and integrated features.
Engineering
Where required, EDG coordinates structural review, permit-ready drawings, and product documentation for the selected system and jurisdiction. The proposal identifies what is included and who is responsible for each permit step.
Installation
After design and approvals, on-site installation often takes several days. The total schedule depends on engineering, permitting, manufacturing, delivery, site preparation, electrical scope, and project complexity.
Care
Optional care plans keep your pergola operating perfectly for years to come. Annual inspections, cleaning, and preventive maintenance ensure lasting performance.

Common Questions
How much does a motorized pergola cost?
Motorized pergola pricing depends on size, configuration, and features. Entry-level systems for small patios typically start around $25,000, while larger custom installations with integrated lighting, heating, and screens can range from $50,000 to $100,000+. We provide detailed quotes after an on-site consultation to ensure accuracy. Financing options are available for qualified buyers.
What is the installation timeline?
After design and approvals, on-site installation often takes several days. The full project schedule depends on engineering, permitting, manufacturing, delivery, site preparation, electrical scope, weather, and project complexity. EDG provides a project-specific timeline with the proposal.
Can you install a pergola on an existing deck?
Yes, we regularly install pergolas on existing decks, but the deck must be structurally capable of supporting the additional load. Our engineering team will evaluate your deck's framing, footings, and overall condition. In some cases, we may need to reinforce the deck structure or add additional support posts through the deck to the ground below. We handle all structural assessments as part of our consultation process.
Do motorized pergolas require maintenance?
Motorized pergolas are designed to be low-maintenance, but some care helps ensure optimal performance. We recommend rinsing the louvers and frame with a garden hose every few months to remove dirt and debris. The motor and tracks require no lubrication. Our optional care plans include annual professional cleaning, inspection, and preventive maintenance to catch any issues before they become problems.
What warranty do you offer?
Warranty coverage depends on the selected manufacturer, components, installation scope, and project location. We review the applicable product and labor coverage with the final proposal so the warranty matches the actual system being specified.
Are you locked into one manufacturer?
No. EDG is manufacturer-flexible. We are a dealer for proven pergola systems including Brustor, Azenco, and Sundance, but we start with the project: site exposure, mounting, drainage, controls, budget, and performance needs. The manufacturer is part of the toolkit after the job is understood.
