The Incorporated Village of Lake Success occupies roughly 1.8 square miles inside the Town of North Hempstead, with a residential population around 2,900. It carries an outsized place in 20th-century history — the United Nations General Assembly met at the former Sperry Gyroscope plant in Lake Success from 1946 to 1951, before the UN's permanent home in Manhattan was completed — and today it functions as a tightly held enclave of single-family homes, the Lake Success Country Club, and a small corporate park along the LIE service road. Lots tend to be a half-acre or larger, with mature plantings and an unusually quiet street network for a village this close to the city. Owners here are typically long-tenured: Lake Success is a hold-and-keep address, not a flip market.
Why Lake Success Homeowners Choose Azenco + Breslow
Lake Success residents already know our work — Breslow designed, engineered, and installed the multi-bay Azenco motorized louvered roof system that spans Lake Success Country Club's outdoor dining and bar program. That commercial installation is the largest motorized pergola in the village, and it operates daily through the full season under demanding wind, rain, and load conditions. Homeowners who have eaten under it tend to call us specifically because they've now seen the system perform.
Residential projects in Lake Success generally fall in the $90,000 to $220,000 range — single-bay attached pergolas, freestanding poolside structures with integrated lighting and screens, and multi-bay installations integrating with detached pool houses. Every project includes PE-stamped structural drawings and Village permit handling where required.
Lake Success: Local Architecture & Property Considerations
The village's housing stock is dominated by 1950s and 1960s split-levels, ranches, and Colonials, with a steady cycle of substantial renovations and tear-down rebuilds replacing those originals with larger Colonials, Hamptons-style farmhouses, and contemporary builds. Lots along the country club perimeter, Lakeville Road, Horace Harding, and the streets backing onto Manhasset Valley Park each have their own character. Mature oak and tulip canopies are common, which directly affects how a louvered roof should be oriented for sun and rain control.
A typical Lake Success project sits inside the rear yard with primary exposure either south or west. We model the actual sun path on each property before specifying louver orientation, beam direction, and screen placement. Properties bordering the country club or the park face setback and tree-protection rules that the Village enforces tightly.
Lake Success Permitting
The Incorporated Village of Lake Success Building Department handles all permits within Village limits — not the Town of North Hempstead. The Village reviews carefully: setbacks, lot coverage, accessory-structure rules, drainage, and (for projects within the country club's view corridor) board-level review on certain lots. Permit timelines run roughly 4 to 10 weeks from a complete submission.
Where a permit is required, Breslow handles or assists with the entire permit process. Our submission packages include PE-stamped structural drawings sealed by a New York licensed engineer, site plans showing setbacks and lot coverage calculations, foundation details, electrical load specs, and drainage notes. We've moved projects through the Village's process repeatedly and know exactly what its reviewers expect on the first submission — which is why our Lake Success permits are typically approved without revision.
Real Estate Value
Lake Success's residential market typically transacts in the $1.5M to $3M range, with renovated and tear-down-rebuild properties pushing meaningfully higher. In a village where buyers are paying for a known address and limited inventory, a permitted, engineered, motorized outdoor living installation reads as a substantive improvement — and one with documentation that survives the diligence process. Listing agents in the village treat finished outdoor architecture as a distinct line item in comparable analysis.

In addition to Lake Success, Breslow serves neighboring North Shore villages including Great Neck, Manhasset Hills, East Hills, Roslyn Estates, and Cove Neck. Our broader Long Island service area covers Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
What a Motorized Pergola Costs in Lake Success
A complete motorized louvered pergola installed in Lake Success typically starts around $65,000 for a ~320 sq ft system, with most residential projects falling between $75,000 and $135,000 depending on size. Every Breslow installation includes the structure, motorization, smart controls, integrated lighting, professional installation, and PE-stamped engineering — there are no stripped-down base prices.
| Size | Approx. Area | Typical Investment |
|---|---|---|
| ~16 × 20 ft | ~320 sq ft | from ~$65K |
| ~20 × 20 ft | ~400 sq ft | ~$75K – $90K |
| ~20 × 23 ft | ~460 sq ft | ~$90K – $105K |
| ~20 × 32 ft | ~640 sq ft | ~$115K – $135K |
Larger multi-bay commercial systems typically run $190,000–$220,000 for a three-bay (~1,100 sq ft) installation, and $400,000+ for the largest projects.

Here’s What You’re Investing In
The simplest way to understand the number: you're extending your home. When you add a room in the conventional sense, the price is immediately understood. A Breslow motorized pergola is that addition — engineered, permitted, and professionally installed — except what you get is a durable, year-round outdoor room, not just an add-on to your house. And we'll be straight with you: we are not the cheapest — our mission is to make sure the job is done right the first time. That's our motto.
