Motorized aluminum louvers rotate from 0° to 160° — full sun, precise shade, or a watertight roof at the touch of a button. Designed, engineered, permitted, and installed across New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut by a 102-year family firm.
A louvered roof system — often called a motorized pergola or louvered pergola — is a permanent aluminum structure whose roof is made of rotating louvers. Breslow installs the Azenco R-Blade: the louvers turn from 0° to 160°, so one structure gives you full sun, angled shade, or a completely sealed roof.
When closed, the louvers interlock watertight and rain is carried away through concealed gutters inside the frame — no dripping, no runoff over your seating.
Founded in 1924, Breslow Design & Build has spent four generations building outdoor structures in the tri-state area. We're a Platinum Azenco dealer — top 3 in the country — and every louvered roof we build is architecturally designed, PE-stamped, permitted, and installed by our own team. No subcontractor hand-offs, and one company responsible for the result.
Every system is custom-engineered and installed, so price follows size and scope. Complete Breslow projects start around $65,000; most residential installations land between $85,000 and $200,000 including design, engineering, permits, and installation.
Single-bay louvered roof systems — complete with design, engineering, permitting, and installation.
Multi-bay structures with integrated screens, lighting, and heat — the typical Breslow residential project.
Large multi-structure projects, rooftop installations, and commercial dining enclosures.
Breslow has engineered and installed louvered roof systems for restaurant patios, rooftop lounges, and country clubs across NJ, NY, and PA — turning seasonal outdoor space into year-round covered revenue.

Yes. Closed louvers interlock into a watertight roof, and integrated gutters carry rain away through the posts. A rain sensor closes the roof automatically in about 30 seconds when the first drops hit.
The Azenco R-Blade is engineered for winds up to 195 mph and holds Miami-Dade hurricane certification. Every Breslow installation is PE-stamped and engineered to your town's snow and wind load requirements — and in an extreme snow event, the louvers can be opened so snow falls through instead of piling up.
In most NJ, NY, and CT towns, yes — it's a permanent structure. Breslow handles the whole process in-house: architectural drawings, PE-stamped engineering, permit filing, and inspections.
A traditional pergola has a fixed, open roof. A louvered roof system is a motorized pergola whose louvers rotate 0°–160° — open for sun, angled for shade, or sealed watertight — from an app or wall switch. Compare adjustable louvered pergolas and fixed-roof pergolas.
