Upper Montclair's tree-lined streets feature homes valued at $1 million to $3 million+, and residents here invest in outdoor improvements that honor their homes' architectural distinction. Breslow Design & Build delivers motorized pergolas worthy of Montclair's extraordinary housing stock.
Montclair's architecture is a living museum of American residential design. Within a few blocks, you might find a Queen Anne Victorian, a Tudor Revival, a Craftsman bungalow, and a contemporary new build. Adding a motorized pergola to any of these homes requires an understanding of how modern outdoor structures integrate with period architecture without compromising the character that makes Montclair special.
Breslow's design team approaches each Montclair project as an architectural exercise. For Victorians, we use proportions and details that echo the elaborate millwork and generous porches of the era. For Tudors, we complement steep roof pitches and heavy timber aesthetics. For Craftsman homes, we design low-profile structures with deep overhangs and exposed beam details. The Azenco system's flexibility — 30+ colors, configurable beam profiles, and modular engineering — makes these diverse designs possible.
Upper Montclair represents Montclair's most affluent neighborhood — grand homes on generous lots with mature landscaping and a sense of established luxury. Our Upper Montclair projects typically range from $85,000 to $175,000, creating outdoor rooms that extend living space and enhance these already impressive properties. The neighborhood's lot sizes (typically 1/3 to 3/4 acre) provide room for meaningful installations while requiring the precise proportioning that Breslow specializes in.
Montclair's Historic Preservation Commission oversees several historic districts, and many individual homes carry landmark designations. Breslow has experience designing outdoor structures that satisfy historic review requirements while delivering modern motorized functionality. Our approach: respect the period, enhance the property, and prove to the review board that quality outdoor structures strengthen rather than diminish historic character.
We also serve Glen Ridge, Bloomfield, West Orange, Short Hills, and all of Essex County.
