FAQ
Frequently
Asked Questions
What does Envision Pergola specialize in?
Envision Pergola specializes in custom aluminum pergola systems, including motorized louvered pergolas, fixed-roof pergolas, integrated LED lighting, and accessory options—designed for comfort, durability, and long-term performance.
Are Envision Pergolas engineered for Florida weather?
Absolutely. Our pergola systems are engineered to meet Florida Building Code (FBC) requirements, including wind-load standards. Engineering documentation is provided when required for permitting.
How long does the process take from order to installation?
Timelines vary depending on permitting, manufacturing, and shipping. Once permits are approved and materials are received, installations are typically completed within 1–3 days, depending on project size and complexity.
What happens if shipping is delayed?
While shipping delays are uncommon, they can occur due to factors outside our control such as weather, port congestion, or customs. Envision Pergola remains fully committed to installing your pergola as soon as materials are received.
Is an Envision Pergola watertight?
Yes. Envision Pergolas are water-tight in light to heavy rain when the louvers are fully closed. An integrated sealing louver system directs rainwater into built-in gutters, which channel the water through the posts and safely away from the structure.
It’s important to note that water-tight does not mean completely waterproof. Because the pergola is designed to open and close, it does not block water in the same way a solid, traditional roof would. In addition, the open-sided design allows for airflow and visibility, but can permit wind-driven rain to enter under certain conditions.
This design provides an ideal balance of weather protection, ventilation, and versatility.
Are motorized louvers weather-resistant?
Yes. Motorized louvers are designed for outdoor use and feature weather-resistant motors and components. Proper use and routine maintenance help ensure long-term performance.
What warranty does Envision Pergola offer?
Envision Pergola offers an industry-leading 12-year warranty on electronics, including motors and integrated lighting systems.
Most pergola companies offer only 3–4 year warranties on electronics, making Envision Pergola’s coverage significantly more comprehensive and long-term.
Is financing available?

Are Envision Pergolas custom-designed and custom-sized?
Yes. Every Envision Pergola is fully custom-sized to meet the customer’s specific application, space, and design goals. We do not use preset or limited dimensions.
We also offer a full spectrum of color options, allowing you to match or complement your home’s architecture and finishes.
All pergolas are professionally installed by skilled craftsmen, ensuring proper alignment, smooth operation, structural integrity, and long-term reliability.
By comparison, many online pergola kit companies offer only three standard sizes and limited colors—typically black, white, or gray—and rely on homeowner or third-party installation.
Do you handle permits and HOA approvals?
Yes. We assist with permit applications and HOA documentation when required. Approval timelines vary by municipality and HOA and are outside of our control.
Where are your pergola systems manufactured?
Our pergola systems are manufactured by trusted suppliers using high-grade aluminum and premium components specifically designed for long-term outdoor use.
Are the louvered roof panels designed to reduce heat and noise?
Yes. Our louvered roof panels are double-walled, allowing them to dissipate heat more quickly and help reduce rain noise compared to thinner, single-wall louvers. This improves comfort during hot days and heavy rain.
How does the pergola control sun exposure?
The louvers can be adjusted up to 130 degrees, allowing you to block sunlight from virtually any angle. This provides precise control over shade, airflow, and light throughout the day—helping reduce heat while maintaining comfort.
Can I control the pergola with a remote or smart system?
Yes. Motorized pergolas include remote controls, and select systems offer smart home integration, depending on the configuration.
Do pergolas require maintenance?
Maintenance is minimal. We recommend periodic cleaning with mild soap and water, along with routine visual inspections, to maintain optimal operation.
Can pergolas be installed over patios or pool areas?
Yes. Pergolas can be installed over concrete patios, pavers, decks, and pool areas, provided structural and code requirements are met.
Should I buy local and have the professionals install it or just buy a low cost online kit ?
Why Most Homeowners Don’t Build Their Own Pergolas (And That’s Okay)
Let’s be honest—most homeowners are not experienced pergola builders. And unless you spend your weekends reading building codes for fun, that’s completely normal.
Building a pergola involves more than opening a box and grabbing a drill. Questions like:
- How deep do the concrete footers need to be?
- Do I need rebar—and if so, how much and where?
- Should the columns be embedded in the concrete or surface-mounted?
- How do I properly attach a pergola to my home without causing leaks or structural damage?
- Do I need engineered drawings and permits?
Online pergola kit companies often assume homeowners already know the answers—or are willing to learn the hard way. They also assume you’re comfortable creating engineering drawings, pulling permits, and navigating building codes and HOA requirements on your own.
The reality? Mistakes can be costly, lead to failed inspections, void warranties, or even violate local building codes and HOA rules.
That’s where Envision Pergola comes in.
We handle everything from beginning to end—design, engineering, permits, and professional installation—so your pergola is built correctly, code-compliant, and beautiful the first time.
No guesswork.
No stress.
Just a premium pergola installed the right way.
