Choose the shade you want
Start with how you want to use the patio. A fixed roof provides consistent overhead coverage. An adjustable roof gives you control over light and shade.
A fixed roof is a practical starting point when you want a covered dining area, dependable overhead shade and a defined outdoor room.
Rotating aluminum louvers open for daylight and airflow, adjust for shade and close for overhead coverage. The Yorba Linda project below uses this roof type.
Want continuous overhead coverage? Start with a fixed roof. Want the roof to open? Compare a louvered system. We’ll confirm which configuration and options are suitable for your patio.

Completed Orange County project
A 10 × 19 ft freestanding aluminum pergola turned a prepared, uncovered patio into an adjustable outdoor space for family dining, BBQ and relaxing.
Roof type: motorized louvers. This case shows an adjustable aluminum patio cover. The price below is for installation only.
Installation labor for this completed patio cover project. The pergola, lighting and side screen are separate items; concrete slab preparation is excluded.
Before
AfterThe family wanted a more comfortable patio for meals, BBQ and spending time together. Shade, privacy and protection from exposure were part of the project brief.
The installed roof can open, close or stop at intermediate angles using a remote control. Integrated perimeter LED lighting supports evening use. A 10 ft side protection screen adds privacy and helps with low-angle sun.
A two-person crew installed the pergola and screen in one day on the prepared concrete slab. Base plates were secured with concrete anchors. The homeowner obtained HOA approval independently.
The homeowner was very pleased with the finished project and its fit with the family’s outdoor living plans.

Completed Orange County project
A compact 10 × 10 ft motorized aluminum pergola created adjustable shade over an existing patio, with perimeter lighting and an outdoor heater for evening use.
Roof type: motorized louvers. This is an adjustable aluminum patio cover. The price below is for installation only.
Installation labor for this 10 × 10 ft freestanding pergola. The structure, LED lighting and heater products are separate items; the existing patio slab was retained.
After
Roof openThe homeowner wanted a comfortable spot for family dinners, BBQ gatherings and spending time outside in the evening. The existing concrete patio provided the starting point, so the project focused on the pergola and its outdoor living features.
A 10 × 10 ft freestanding layout kept the structure independent of the house. Its four 8 ft posts support the adjustable roof, with an overall height of approximately 9 ft. The Dark Gray finish gives the compact structure a defined outline against the home and garden.
Remote-controlled aluminum louvers let the homeowner open the roof for light and airflow, change the shade angle or close the louvers for overhead coverage. Integrated perimeter LED lighting and an electric outdoor heater support use after sunset.
A two-person crew completed the on-site installation in approximately 5–7 hours, within one day. Mounting plates and concrete anchors secured the posts to the existing slab. The work included assembling the four-post frame, fitting the motorized roof and integrating the lighting and heater components into the pergola assembly.
The completed pergola adds a dedicated outdoor area without replacing the patio surface. The $1,750 shown here is the installation charge for this particular project; new electrical work, foundation work or a different layout must be identified separately when another project is quoted.

Completed Orange County project
A custom-fit white aluminum patio cover beside the sliding doors brought adjustable shade to an uncovered patio. The motorized louvered pergola attaches to the house and uses two front support posts.
Roof type: motorized louvers. This is an adjustable aluminum patio cover. The price below is for installation only.
Installation labor for this wall-mounted, custom-fit pergola. The structure and accessory products are separate items. Engineering, plan preparation, permit fees and electrical work must be identified separately in the proposal.
Before
AfterThe homeowner wanted a more comfortable area for outdoor furniture and relaxing next to the house while retaining the ability to bring daylight onto the patio. Before installation, the concrete space outside the sliding doors had no overhead cover.
The selected wall-mounted pergola measures approximately 11 ft by 14 ft 6 in, with an overall height of about 9 ft. A white aluminum finish follows the home’s exterior, while two front posts support the outer edge of the roof.
This project required more than a standard freestanding assembly. A standard structure was professionally resized and modified to fit the site-specific dimensions and approved project requirements. The house connection, roof height and support layout were coordinated as part of the project.
California Pergola Systems handled engineering and architectural plans, City submission and plan-review revisions for this installation. For a similar project, the proposal should identify these planning services and related fees separately from installation labor.
Once the plans and site were ready, on-site installation took approximately 2.5 days. The finished system includes remote-controlled louvers and LED lighting, with perimeter gutters and concealed post downspouts. The roof can change the amount of shade and daylight over the patio.
The installation labor for this completed project was approximately $3,000. A house-attached cover at another address needs its own review of dimensions, attachment, support requirements and the work to be included in the proposal.

Installation labor examples
The three prices on this page cover installation only. Your labor quote depends on the roof system, dimensions, mounting and work required at the property.
Pergola materials and accessories are quoted separately. Ask for a quote that clearly lists delivery, taxes, site preparation, required documents and exclusions. Request a separate installation quote for a fixed solid or insulated roof.
From patio details to installation
We confirm the layout and project scope before scheduling the work. Timing depends on the selected system, site readiness and any required approvals.
Send your city or ZIP, approximate dimensions, photos and the type of shade you want.
Check layout, attachment, supports, access, drainage and electrical needs.
Review the roof system, selected options, included work, exclusions and price.
Determine required plans, permits or HOA review and agree who handles each item.
Complete the agreed site preparation, then assemble and secure the patio cover.
Review the completed work, drainage, care instructions and operation of any installed controls.
The Yorba Linda pergola and screen were installed in one day on a prepared slab. That on-site duration does not include slab preparation or approval lead time, and it does not establish the schedule for another property.
Review the actual address
Before installation, confirm what the selected structure and the property require. The review depends on the jurisdiction, location and scope of work.
A finished patio surface alone does not establish that it can support the proposed cover. Review the base, post locations, anchoring, attachment and any foundation work for the selected system.
In Yorba Linda, the crew anchored the freestanding structure to the prepared concrete slab. The support solution for your patio will be confirmed separately.
For the Yorba Linda case, the homeowner obtained HOA approval independently.

Questions before you request a quote
Yes. California Pergola Systems provides patio cover project planning and installation in Orange County. Share your city or ZIP code, patio dimensions and preferred roof type so we can confirm service and a suitable configuration for your address.
The installation-only examples on this page are $1,950 for the 10 × 19 ft freestanding Yorba Linda pergola, $1,750 for the 10 × 10 ft freestanding Costa Mesa pergola and approximately $3,000 for the custom-fit wall-mounted Huntington Beach pergola. These are charges for the specific completed projects, not standard package prices. The structure, accessory products and any additional foundation, electrical, engineering or approval work need their own agreed scope. Request a separate installation quote for a fixed solid or insulated roof.
Both are fixed roof options. An insulated panel includes an insulating layer; the construction, finish and available configurations depend on the selected system. Compare the panel specifications, roof appearance, drainage and compatible options for your patio before choosing.
A louvered roof adjusts its angle and can open. A fixed solid roof stays closed. Choose a fixed roof for continuous overhead coverage, or compare a motorized louvered system if you want to change the amount of daylight, airflow and shade.
An attached layout can be considered after reviewing the house connection, roof height, support requirements and project documents. A freestanding layout is another option. The Yorba Linda project shown here was freestanding and used six posts.
The existing slab and the support requirements must be reviewed first. For the Yorba Linda project, the crew secured base plates with concrete anchors on a slab prepared before installation. Your structure may require a different anchoring or foundation solution.
The requirements depend on the address, reviewing jurisdiction and proposed scope. Before work is scheduled, confirm the required plans and approvals and who is responsible for each application. The Yorba Linda homeowner obtained HOA approval independently; that project detail does not determine the requirements at another property.
Installation time depends on the structure, site readiness, attachment, accessories and scope. The Yorba Linda pergola and screen were installed in one day by two people. Costa Mesa took approximately 5–7 hours with a two-person crew. The custom-fit attached Huntington Beach project took approximately 2.5 days on site after plans and site preparation. Allow separately for ordering, preparation and any required approvals.
A motorized roof and powered accessories need a suitable power supply for the selected system. We review the proposed equipment and electrical scope during planning. Any new wiring, outlets or other electrical work should be identified in the proposal.
The drainage design depends on the roof and configuration. Confirm the collection method, outlet locations and discharge path for your cover. The Yorba Linda louvered system has perimeter gutters and downspouts concealed in the posts. Discuss the selected system’s weather-performance specifications during quoting.
Compatible options depend on the roof system and layout. The Yorba Linda project included remote-controlled perimeter LED lighting and one screen across a 10 ft side. Ask which features fit your chosen structure and whether electrical work or other preparation is included.
