Flexible Shade, Smart Design, and Outdoor Comfort on Your Terms
Outdoor Living Structures
Louvered Roofs + Pergolas
A pergola or louvered roof system adds more than shade, it adds control, comfort, and intention to your outdoor space. At NJ Decks & Outdoor Living, we design and install custom pergolas and modern louvered roof systems that allow you to enjoy your deck or patio in more conditions, across more seasons.
Whether you want filtered sunlight, full shade, or protection from the elements, we help you create an outdoor structure that adapts to how you live.

Why Add a Pergola or Louvered Roof?
Outdoor spaces should be just as comfortable and functional as the inside of your home. A thoughtfully designed pergola or louvered roof creates a defined outdoor “room” while preserving openness and connection to the outdoors.
These structures are ideal for:
- Creating shade over decks and patios
- Protecting outdoor seating and furniture
- Defining dining and gathering areas
- Extending outdoor use into spring and fall
- Adding architectural interest and long-term value
Each structure is designed to complement your home, not compete with it.
Modern Pergolas
Architectural Structure with an Open-Air Feel
Pergolas have evolved well beyond traditional decorative beams. Today’s pergolas are designed to be functional, durable, and tailored to your lifestyle.
Pergolas can be:
- Freestanding or attached to your home
- Installed over a deck, patio, or seating area
- Designed in a range of sizes, styles, and finishes
- Integrated with lighting, fans, or shade elements
A pergola creates a comfortable, defined space while still allowing light and airflow to move naturally through the structure.
Louvered Roof Systems
Sun When You Want It. Shade When You Don’t.
Louvered roof systems offer the ultimate in flexibility. With adjustable louvers, you control how much sunlight, shade, and ventilation your outdoor space receives, often at the touch of a button.
Benefits of louvered roof systems include:
- Adjustable louvers that open and close for ideal comfort
- Protection from sun and rain when louvers are closed
- Engineered materials designed to withstand Northeast weather
- Clean, architectural profiles that blend with modern and traditional homes
- Minimal maintenance compared to traditional wood structures
These systems allow your outdoor space to adapt to changing conditions throughout the day and season.
