We recently completed a stunning outdoor renovation in Riverside, Connecticut, where we partnered with Edgewater Development to bring a homeowner's dream backyard to life. The centerpiece of this project is a custom motorized louvered pergola that sits perfectly alongside a professionally designed pool, outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and entertaining space. Working together with a local contractor who shares our commitment to quality and collaboration, we created an outdoor living area that's both beautiful and highly functional.
Our partnership with Edgewater Development, based in Greenwich, Connecticut, was the key to making this project seamless. Throughout the installation process, we communicated weekly to ensure every detail was coordinated perfectly—from running electrical wires for the pergola's motorized system to integrating it with the existing hardscape and pool infrastructure. This level of collaboration between design and build teams ensures that all the outdoor elements work together harmoniously.
The aluminum motorized louvered pergola we installed is the crown jewel of this backyard. The adjustable louvers give the homeowners complete control over their outdoor experience. On sunny days, they can close the louvers to block the heat and UV rays, creating a shaded retreat. When they want full sun exposure, the louvers open completely to flood the space with natural light. And with motorized operation, they can position the louvers anywhere in between—all at the touch of a button.
What makes this pergola truly exceptional is its low-maintenance construction. Unlike traditional wood pergolas that require regular staining and sealing, the aluminum frame is completely maintenance-free while delivering the same elegant aesthetic. The motorized system is reliable and smooth, making it easy for the homeowners to adjust their outdoor environment throughout the day as the sun moves across their property.
This Riverside project demonstrates the power of collaboration in creating exceptional outdoor spaces. When experienced contractors, skilled builders, and innovative design come together with the homeowner's vision, the results speak for themselves. If you're a local contractor in the Tri-State area looking to elevate your clients' outdoor living spaces with a custom motorized pergola, we'd love to partner with you to create something equally beautiful.
