What We Install
Awnings & Pergolas
Why Nassau County Homeowners Choose Long Island Shade Co.
Nassau County's diverse housing stock — from Great Neck estates to Levittown ranches — requires an awning and pergola contractor who understands local architecture, municipal permit requirements, and the unique demands of Long Island's coastal climate.
We've been installing awnings and building pergolas in Nassau County since 2006. Our Nassau County license (H-18-0456) covers all municipalities. We know the permit offices, the inspectors, and the specific setback requirements for each town — knowledge that saves our customers weeks of delays.
For Nassau County's coastal communities — Long Beach, Atlantic Beach, Rockaway Beach — we specify only marine-grade aluminum frames and solution-dyed acrylic fabric that resists the salt air that destroys cheaper materials within a season or two.
Hicksville patio covers and pergolas. Hicksville is one of our highest-volume Nassau County towns. Homes along Old Country Road, Broadway, and the residential streets between Newbridge Road and South Oyster Bay Road commonly have covered patio spaces or attached decks that benefit from a retractable awning or louvered patio cover. Most Hicksville homes are in the Town of Oyster Bay, which requires permits for freestanding pergolas and patio covers — we handle all Oyster Bay permit applications as part of our service. A motorized retractable awning for a typical Hicksville colonial runs $3,200–$6,500 installed; a louvered patio cover starts around $8,500.
Massapequa pergolas and retractable awnings. Massapequa's South Shore location along the water means homeowners want outdoor spaces that can close quickly ahead of afternoon storms. Our motorized retractable pergola systems include wind sensors that auto-retract the louvered roof before wind speeds reach 23 mph — making them ideal for Massapequa decks near Massapequa Lake and the Great South Bay waterfront. Massapequa and Massapequa Park are both under the Town of Oyster Bay building department for pergola permits. We have completed dozens of pergola and patio cover installations throughout Massapequa and can typically schedule a free in-home estimate within a week.
Motorized Pergola Systems
Retractable Pergolas in Nassau County, NY
Retractable pergolas are the fastest-growing outdoor structure category we install across Nassau County. Unlike a fixed pergola, a motorized retractable pergola — using a Somfy RTS or Somfy io-homecontrol drive system — lets you open and close the overhead louvers with a wall switch, remote, or smartphone app. Full sun in the morning, full shade by noon, and the louvers retract completely when you want open sky. Wind sensors close them automatically before a storm reaches your deck.
For Nassau County homeowners, the system cost runs $6,500 to $18,000 installed depending on footprint and options. A 12×14 ft aluminum-framed motorized pergola with Somfy RTS motor, powder-coated frame, and integrated LED lighting starts around $6,500. Larger systems — 16×20 ft or bigger, with Somfy io-homecontrol, rain sensor, and sun sensor — run $12,000 to $18,000. All prices include Nassau County building permits, concrete footings or deck-mount anchoring, the Somfy motor system, and installation labor.
Nassau County sits within ASCE 7 wind exposure categories B and C, with coastal zones (Long Beach, Atlantic Beach, Oceanside, Merrick) requiring structures rated for 120 to 130 mph basic wind speed. Every retractable pergola frame we specify meets or exceeds the Nassau County Building Department wind uplift requirements for your municipality. On the material side, aluminum frames are the right call for Nassau County coastal exposures — they do not corrode in salt air, hold the Somfy motor hardware precisely over the long term, and outperform vinyl (which chalks in UV) and wood (which splits and warps in LI winters without annual sealing). For Nassau County properties inland — Hicksville, Garden City, New Hyde Park, Manhasset — cedar-framed retractable pergola systems are a beautiful option where salt-air is less of a factor, with the tradeoff of periodic staining every 3 to 5 years.
If your Nassau County property is in an HOA — common in Levittown, New Hyde Park, Massapequa Park, and Floral Park — most boards require a written proposal and rendering before approving exterior structures. We provide a full spec sheet, manufacturer brochure, frame color samples, and a site-specific rendering for every Nassau County HOA submission. Approval timelines vary by HOA meeting calendar, typically 2 to 6 weeks. We can often expedite by attending the HOA meeting with you if needed.
