The systems

One outdoor room. Every layer you need.

Start with the roof, then close the sides only as much as you want. Every system is made to measure and works together on one remote or app.

Your weather. Your call.

Drag the slider or pick a mode to see how the louvers respond. In real life it's one tap on the remote, your phone, or automatic with sensors.

Fully open: full sun and a cooling breeze through the roof.

Why Golden State

Built for California, not shipped as a kit.

Engineered structure

Powder-coated aluminum rated to 120 mph wind as standard, with a steel-beam upgrade to 160 mph for exposed coastal and hillside sites.

Permits handled

We prepare the engineered drawings and work with your city or HOA, so you're not left alone with the plan check.

Glass nobody else offers

Motorized guillotine glass is our specialty — a sealed glass room at the push of a button, then fully open again.

Fast motorized screens

Our screens and blinds are made in our own U.S. shop, so they don't wait on overseas lead times.

Our own install crews

The team that measures is the team that installs. No hand-offs to random subcontractors.

See it before you buy

Your design consultation includes a 3D design of your actual space and a measured drawing — no guessing.

The honest comparison

A pergola is easy to sell. Hard to get right.

FAQ

Good questions, straight answers.

Don't see yours? Call us or send a note with your project — we reply within one business day.

Do I need a permit for a pergola in California?

Most cities require a building permit for an attached or larger freestanding pergola, and many HOAs need design approval. We prepare the engineered drawings and handle the submittal with you.

Is a louvered pergola really waterproof?

Yes. When closed, the interlocking blades shed water into an integrated gutter that drains down through the posts. An optional rain sensor closes the roof automatically.

How strong is it in wind?

Our aluminum structures are rated to 120 mph wind as standard. For exposed coastal or hillside sites we add steel-beam support to reach 160 mph.

What does the design consultation include?

An on-site review and measurement, followed by a 3D design of the pergola on your actual space and a measured drawing — so you see exactly what you're getting before you commit.

Can I add glass or screens later?

Yes. We plan the frame for future side closures so you can start with the roof and add zip screens, sliding glass or guillotine glass later.

How is it powered and controlled?

The motors run on a standard outlet or hard-wired connection. Control everything — louvers, lights, screens — by remote, wall switch or phone app.

How long does a project take?

It depends on size and permitting. We give you a written timeline in your proposal; installation itself usually takes days, not weeks.
