Commercial patios that earn from day one
We manufacture our motorized blinds right here in Texas, so we can deliver and install in about two weeks. Imported alternatives often take two to three months. On a restaurant opening, that difference decides whether your patio earns revenue on day one.
From drawings and permits to the final walkthrough, one team handles your project, and our residential clients get the same commercial-grade systems.

Residential Outdoor RoomTexasLouvered Pergolas Houston Weather Demands
Houston summers bring intense sun, high humidity and sudden Gulf Coast storms. A motorized louvered roof handles all three. Open the aluminum blades for light and airflow, angle them for shade, or close them completely to keep rain off your patio. Integrated gutters carry the water away from your seating area.
That is why so many clients come to String Lights Outdoor for the louvered pergolas Houston weather demands. We design each system around your space, add glass walls or motorized screens when you need full protection, and install everything with our own team.
How much does a louvered pergola cost in Houston?
The louvered pergolas Houston homeowners choose are custom-sized, so price depends on size, roof type, add-ons such as lighting, heaters, screens or glass, and site conditions like footings and permits. After a site visit we provide a clear, itemized quote. Request your quote here.
Do I need a permit for a pergola in Houston?
Many louvered pergolas Houston clients install need a building permit, and homeowners’ associations often require approval as well. We prepare the drawings and coordinate permits and HOA submittals for you.
How long does installation take?
Timelines depend on design approval and permits. Because we manufacture our motorized blinds in Texas, shades are delivered and installed in about two weeks, much faster than imported systems.
