Acadian Windows and Siding is Louisiana's leader for replacement windows, vinyl siding, hurricane shutters, patio covers, and much more. Everyone here at Acadian is committed to excellence and pride ourselves on being Louisiana's premier service company. Our windows have the best energy ratings in the country and are backed by a lifetime transferable warranty.
"Go somewhere else is all I have to say. We decided on Acadian windows as their sales team was the most knowledgeable of any group we quoted, unfortunately their installation team is not. They left our house a mess and did not complete the job properly. There was no quality control and acadian was resistant to come inspect their own work to be completed. The project in all took 5 months to complete when it was promised it would take 2 months due to Acadian "losing a window" further delaying other elements of our renovation. There was no apology or effort by acadian to make the delay or efforts right. I highly recommend a different contractor for your windows."

"We are so happy we hired Alvin for our home remodel! We were very anxious going into it because we've never had remodeling work done before. Alvin, however, was trustworthy, kind, and communicative. He did a lot of the work himself, but he also brought in a team of specialists, including someone really skilled at tile work for our bathroom and fireplace tiles. He was patient with my questions and indecisiveness, particularly as it was hard for me to choose a countertop. He also double checked to make sure I liked how things were turning out before he finished each part of the remodel. We had the bathroom floors re-tiled, both bathroom vanity counters replaced, one bathroom's tub surround re-tiled, and exhaust fans installed in both bathrooms. In the kitchen he installed new countertops, new tiles for the backsplash, and a new range hood that he ducted to the outdoors. We also had new tiling installed on our fireplace. Finally, he redid our front deck, which was rotting and unsafe. We're very happy with all the work he did, and we would definitely hire him again! Perhaps most importantly, Alvin loves cats! He was careful not to let my indoor cats outside, and he took time to greet them each time he came to do work. My oldest cat loves him and runs over to welcome him as soon as he comes in the door."

A quality motorized pergola has a lifespan of 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. The structural components often last longer than the mechanical elements, which may require servicing or replacement after seven to 10 years of regular use. Aluminum and vinyl structures typically outlast wood in challenging climates. Overall, though, regular maintenance significantly extends the lifespan of motors and moving parts.
For many homeowners, the added convenience and functionality of motorized pergolas justify their higher cost. Standard motorized systems cost $50 to $70 more per square foot than fixed pergolas. This premium provides significant benefits in weather adaptability and ease of use. Homeowners who frequently entertain outdoors or live in areas with unpredictable weather often find the additional investment worthwhile for the extended usability of their outdoor space.
Maintenance requirements vary by material and complexity but include seasonal cleaning and occasional system checks. Expect to spend $2 to $5 per square foot for professional cleaning services. Annual inspection of motors and moving components is recommended, with service visits costing $150 to $300. Aluminum and vinyl structures require minimal maintenance beyond cleaning, while wood demands regular sealing or staining to prevent deterioration.
The complete process spans anywhere from a few hours to several days to install a pergola. Custom designs may require additional manufacturing time, extending the timeline by several weeks. The actual on-site installation takes between two and five days, depending on complexity and size. Weather conditions, permit processing times, and contractor availability can all affect scheduling. Planning your project during less busy seasons may result in faster completion.
While the cost to build a pergola starts at $3,000 to $5,000, self-installation of motorized systems is not recommended without significant construction and electrical experience. The complexity of these systems requires specialized knowledge for proper function and safety. Incorrect installation can compromise structural integrity, void manufacturer warranties, and create potential hazards. If pursuing a DIY approach, consider hiring professionals for critical electrical components.
