Outdoor living spaces continue to be one of the most requested home improvement projects across Long Island and the New York metropolitan area. Homeowners are investing in their backyards more than ever, seeking functional spaces that provide comfort, protection from the elements, and modern aesthetics. One of the most popular trends in outdoor design today is installing motorized louvered pergolas.

Gappsi recently completed a stunning custom motorized louvered pergola installation for a private residence in Belle Harbor, NY. This project showcases the latest innovations in outdoor living while demonstrating Gappsi’s expertise in designing and building custom structures that seamlessly integrate with existing architecture.

A Fully Customized Pergola Design

Every property presents unique design challenges and opportunities. For this Belle Harbor residence, the pergola was custom-engineered to wrap around the corner of the home, creating a cohesive outdoor entertainment area while maximizing usable space.

Unlike standard pergola kits, this structure was specifically designed to accommodate the home’s layout and architectural features. The result is a beautiful extension of the residence that enhances both functionality and curb appeal.

The pergola was constructed with a heavy-duty aluminum frame, powder-coated white. Aluminum has become one of the most sought-after materials for pergola construction due to its exceptional durability, low maintenance requirements, and corrosion resistance. Unlike wood structures that require regular staining, sealing, and repairs, powder-coated aluminum maintains its appearance for years with minimal upkeep.

The Ultimate Louvered Pergola System

This project features the ULP (Ultimate Louvered Pergola) system, one of the most advanced pergola solutions available today.

The ULP system includes:

  • Fully motorized adjustable louvers
  • Integrated gutter and drainage system
  • Heavy-duty aluminum construction
  • Weather-resistant components
  • Customizable sizing and configurations
  • Modern architectural design
  • Remote-controlled operation

The motorized louvers allow homeowners to control sunlight, shade, ventilation, and rain protection with the touch of a button. On sunny days, the louvers can be adjusted to create the perfect balance of light and shade. During rainstorms, they can close completely to protect against the elements.

This versatility makes motorized pergolas significantly more functional than traditional fixed-roof structures.

Integrated Water Management System

One of the standout features of the Ultimate Louvered Pergola is its integrated gutter system.

When the louvers are closed, rainwater is directed into built-in channels that carry water away from the structure through concealed drainage systems. This innovative design helps keep the area beneath the pergola dry and comfortable during inclement weather.

For homeowners in coastal communities like Belle Harbor, where weather conditions can change quickly, this feature provides year-round usability and protection.

Innovative Decking Installation

As part of this project, Gappsi also installed an advanced floating deck system beneath the pergola.

The deck was constructed using InstaDeck floating deck base tiles installed directly over an existing waterproof membrane. MoistureShield decking planks were then installed on top of the floating deck base system.

This innovative installation method offers several benefits:

No Mechanical Fasteners Required

Traditional deck installations often require extensive fastening systems that can compromise waterproof membranes. The InstaDeck system eliminates this concern by creating a stable floating platform without penetrating the waterproof surface.

Enhanced Drainage

The floating deck design promotes airflow and water drainage beneath the deck surface, helping to prevent moisture buildup and extending the life of the installation.

Superior Durability

MoistureShield decking products are known for their exceptional resistance to moisture, rot, mold, and environmental wear. This makes them ideal for coastal environments like Belle Harbor, where salt air and changing weather conditions can impact traditional decking materials.

Low Maintenance Performance

Unlike natural wood decking, composite decking products require significantly less maintenance while maintaining their beauty for years.

Modern Glass Railings Complete the Design

To further enhance the functionality and aesthetics of the outdoor space, Gappsi installed glass railings on two sides of the deck.

Glass railings have become increasingly popular in luxury outdoor living projects because they offer:

  • Unobstructed views
  • Contemporary appearance
  • Increased property value
  • Safety without visual barriers
  • Minimal maintenance requirements

The transparent design allows homeowners to enjoy their surroundings while maintaining a clean and sophisticated look. Glass rail systems pair exceptionally well with modern pergola designs and contemporary architecture.

Why Motorized Pergolas Are Trending in 2026

The outdoor living industry continues to evolve, with homeowners seeking greater flexibility and functionality from their exterior spaces.

Several trends are driving the popularity of motorized pergolas:

Outdoor Rooms

Today’s homeowners want outdoor spaces that function like interior rooms. Motorized pergolas create comfortable environments suitable for dining, entertaining, relaxing, and working outdoors.

Smart Home Integration

Many modern pergola systems can be integrated with home automation platforms, allowing users to control lighting, louvers, fans, and other features through mobile devices.

Increased Home Value

High-quality outdoor living installations consistently rank among the most valuable home improvement projects. Custom pergolas enhance curb appeal and increase usable living space.

Year-Round Outdoor Living

Motorized louvered systems extend the usability of outdoor spaces throughout multiple seasons, making them a practical investment for homeowners.

Low Maintenance Materials

Aluminum, composite decking, and glass railings provide durability and long-term performance without the maintenance demands of traditional materials.

Built for Coastal Environments

Belle Harbor’s coastal location requires building materials that can withstand harsh environmental conditions. Salt air, humidity, strong winds, and seasonal weather patterns can quickly deteriorate inferior products.

Gappsi carefully selected materials designed to perform in these demanding conditions:

  • Powder-coated aluminum structure
  • Corrosion-resistant components
  • MoistureShield composite decking
  • Tempered glass railing systems
  • Waterproof floating deck technology

These premium materials ensure long-term durability and lasting beauty.

Gunite Pool and Backyard Renovation in Upper Brookville, NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel to view Gunite Pool and Backyard Renovation in Upper Brookville, NY

A backyard renovation is more than a construction project.  It is a complete transformation of how a home is experienced and enjoyed. View our recently completed gunite pool and backyard renovation in Upper Brookville, NY.  It is a prime example of how thoughtful design, premium materials, and expert craftsmanship can turn an outdated outdoor space into a cohesive luxury retreat. This project represents the latest backyard renovation completed by Gappsi.  It showcases the level of detail and customization that defines our work.

Starting Fresh: Removing the Old Patio

The renovation began with a clean slate. The existing backyard featured an old clay brick patio that had reached the end of its functional and aesthetic lifespan. To ensure a long-lasting and visually unified result, the entire patio area was removed. This enabled proper base preparation and allowed us to redesign the layout to suit better the homeowner’s lifestyle and the property’s scale.

By stripping the space down to its foundation, we were able to reimagine the backyard.  It is a valid extension of the home, seamlessly blending entertainment, relaxation, and architectural elegance.

Expansive Marble Patio with G040 Pavers

One of the most striking elements of this renovation is the expansive patio paved entirely with G040 marble pavers. This is a large-scale patio, and the choice of G040 marble was intentional. Known for its durability, refined texture, and light, elegant tone, G040 marble provides a timeless look while remaining cool underfoot, an essential feature for poolside areas.

The consistent use of G040 marble across the central pool patio creates a clean, uninterrupted visual flow.  It enhances the sense of openness in the yard. Precision installation ensured uniform joints and proper drainage, both critical to longevity and performance.

In addition to the central patio, we constructed a new stoop at the backyard sliding door. This transition point was designed to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding marble pavers, enhancing accessibility and visual continuity between the home and the outdoor living space.

Complete Gunite Pool Renovation

The existing gunite pool underwent a full renovation, beginning with a complete plumbing overhaul. All new pool equipment was installed to improve efficiency, performance, and reliability. Updating the plumbing and equipment ensures the pool operates at modern standards while reducing maintenance concerns for the homeowner.

Visually, the pool received a significant upgrade as well. New porcelain tiles were installed along the waterline, providing a crisp, clean contrast against the water’s surface. Porcelain was selected for its durability, resistance to staining, and refined appearance.

The pool coping was replaced with new marble coping, tying the pool seamlessly into the surrounding G040 marble patio. This creates a unified look that feels intentional and polished from every angle.

To complete the pool renovation, the interior was refinished with Diamond Brite Super Blue. This finish enhances water clarity and color, giving the pool a vibrant, inviting appearance. Tile markers were also installed on the pool steps, adding both a safety feature and a subtle design detail that improves visibility.

Pavilion Patio with Distinct Marble Transition

One of the standout design choices in this project is the transition from the pool patio to the pavilion patio. Rather than continuing the same stone throughout, we introduced a completely different marble color, G034 marble, to define the pavilion area as its own destination within the backyard.

This thoughtful change in material creates visual interest while still maintaining harmony with the overall design. The transition between G040 and G034 marble was carefully executed to ensure a smooth, elegant shift that feels natural rather than abrupt.

Custom 16×36 Country Lane Pavilion

Anchoring the pavilion patio is a custom-built 16×36 Country Lane Pavilion featuring substantial 8-inch columns. The pavilion serves as a focal point of the backyard and provides a shaded, weather-protected area for entertaining and dining.

Inside, the pavilion was left in bare wood, stained a rich mahogany color. This finish adds warmth and contrast to the surrounding stone, complementing the natural materials used throughout the space. The exposed wood ceiling enhances the pavilion’s architectural presence while maintaining a relaxed, inviting atmosphere.

Outdoor Kitchen and Cooking Island

Designed for serious outdoor entertaining, the custom cooking island is both functional and visually striking. The countertop is finished in black leather-finished granite, offering a textured, matte surface that resists fingerprints and glare while delivering a bold, modern look.

The base of the island is clad in a 4-inch silver travertine veneer, adding depth and natural variation that complements the marble patios. The kitchen is fully outfitted with premium Twin Eagles appliances and an Alpha oven, making it suitable for everything from casual family meals to large gatherings.

This outdoor kitchen transforms the pavilion into a true culinary hub, allowing homeowners to cook, serve, and entertain without ever leaving the backyard.

Fire Pit and Seating Wall

To complete the outdoor living experience, we constructed a custom fire pit featuring a Breeo smokeless insert. Known for its efficient burn and reduced smoke output, the Breeo fire pit enhances comfort and usability, even during extended gatherings.

Surrounding the fire pit is a built-in seating wall, designed to encourage conversation and provide ample seating without cluttering the space. This area serves as a natural gathering point, perfect for evenings spent outdoors in any season.

A Complete Backyard Transformation

This gunite pool and backyard renovation in Upper Brookville, NY, is a testament to what is possible when design, materials, and craftsmanship come together seamlessly. From the expansive marble patios and fully renovated pool to the custom pavilion, outdoor kitchen, and fire pit, every detail was thoughtfully planned and expertly executed.

This is the latest backyard renovation completed by Gappsi in Upper Brookville.  This project reflects our commitment to creating outdoor environments that are not only beautiful but also functional, durable, and tailored to how our clients live and entertain. The result is a backyard that feels cohesive, luxurious, and built to be enjoyed for years to come.
