How Much Do Louvered Pergolas Cost?


Love the idea of an adjustable pergola, but not sure if louvered pergola cost is within your budget? Rest assured, your aluminum pergola investment will yield amazing returns.

Big Kickbacks
Adding a louvered roof pergola to your patio or deck, over your outdoor kitchen or fireplace, or next to your pool allows you the ultimate in outdoor freedom and flexibility. Take advantage of the sun’s warmth on chilly fall and spring days, take shelter on Denver’s blindingly sunny summer days, bask in the shade during the day and stargaze at night, and protect your outdoor furnishings from sun, rain, and snow when your outdoor living space is not in-use. Flexible and functional, aluminum pergolas surely deliver great bang-for-the-buck in adding inexpensive square footage to your home. 

Reduced Fees
An aluminum pergola will also cost you less in…
·         Maintenance
Aluminum pergolas require virtually no maintenance, making them a highly-popular outdoor addition in backyards nationwide. Colors don’t fade or requiring annual repainting/staining, and the structure will not rot, warp, crack, or become susceptible to pest damage. Because of their minimal recurring maintenance needs and costs compared to wood, you’ll rapidly recoup the difference in cost over the life of the pergola.
·         Time
Less maintenance means more time all to yourself, enjoying the great outdoors.
·         Weather Wear-and-Tear
Arcadia adjustable roof pergolas hold up to snow, rain, and hurricane-force winds. You can even program your pergola via smartphone operation to react to these weather changes!
·         Replacement
Simply put, they last, meaning you won’t be continually rebuilding or replacing, unlike their wood and canvas counterparts.

A Terrific Tax Return Re-Investment

Deck Covering Material - What Are My Options?


The arrival of the blinding, penetrating Denver summer sun is just around the corner – are you choosing a deck covering material that will get you through the season? Or will your parched and overheated deck become the desolate wasteland it was last summer? With just a few weeks left to prep, now’s the time to get your home ready for the hot months to come, and enjoying time outdoors with friends and family.

Choosing the Right Material for Your Deck Cover is an Essential First Step
Deck covers are an easy and cost-effective means of adding more living space to your home. Costing far less than a sun room or house addition, they are a great way to add functionality, appeal, and value to your home. However thought must be given to covering materials to ensure not only usefulness, but compatibility with your lifestyle - after all, not all deck covers are created equal…
·         Canvas
Though canvas may be left open when it’s raining, extended exposure to moisture can lead to rotting. Not strong enough to withstand hail, snow, or storms, the combination of Denver’s searing sun and windy weather can quickly turn them to tatters.
·         Vinyl
Vinyl is low maintenance, but prone to fading. Available in limited colors, it can be difficult to find the right neutral tone for complimenting architecture.
·         Wood
Wood patio covers are popular, not because they are inexpensive or durable, but for their natural beauty. A pricey building material, wood requires constant – and extensive – maintenance in order to make it last, demanding regular (preferably annual) sanding and repainting/staining, as well as treatment for termite resistant. Special care must be taking to prevent peeling, and warping, as well as to prevent mold and wood rot that results from excess moisture.
·         Aluminum Pergolas -The best option
Extremely durable and requiring far less maintenance than wood, aluminum deck covers are strong but lightweight, providing protection without the need for substantial groundworks or foundations. Upkeep is minimal, without the need for dealing with issues related to warping, cracking, and rotting. Providing superior protection, even against rain, snow, and winds, aluminum covers come in many different styles and colors, including wood wraps, providing the perfect complement to any décor. Though slightly more than wood in cost, the added expense is more than offset by aluminum’s longer lifespan, and its lack of cleaning, sealing and staining duties.
