How a louvered roof works
Louvers are rows of slats set side by side across the top of the frame, each tilted at an angle. The angle and the spacing decide how much sun gets through: tighter spacing means more shade, wider spacing keeps the patio brighter. Our own project photos show modern black and white aluminum frames with slatted louvered roofs, often paired with privacy screens.

Fixed slats and adjustable louvers
There are two broad types. A fixed pergola louvered roof has slats set at one angle, chosen during design for your sun exposure. An adjustable louvered pergola uses slats that rotate to let light in or close for shade.
Every louvered roof in our own project photos has fixed slats. Wanting an adjustable louvered pergola roof? Say so early, and we will give you a straight answer on whether fixed slats at the right angle will do the job.

Setting the slat direction for your yard
Which way the slats run matters as much as the slats themselves. In Orange County the strongest sun comes from the south at midday and from the west late in the day, so we look at where you sit and when.
- Slats that run east to west block more of the high midday sun from the south.
- Slats that run north to south can cut low morning or late afternoon light on one side.
- A privacy screen on the west side helps where the low evening sun hits your seating.

Rain, wind and coastal air
A slatted roof is about shade, not about staying dry. Rain passes between the slats, so if you want a dry spot for an outdoor kitchen or cushions, consider a solid or insulated section over that area. Aluminum suits coastal homes because it does not rust like steel and needs little upkeep in salt air.

A modern pergola with louvered roof slats
This style pairs well with flat roof and contemporary homes, and black or white frames are the usual choices. Wood grain aluminum from Duralum can warm up the look on Spanish or ranch homes, and extruded aluminum from 4K Aluminum keeps the lines crisp.

Posted on GoogleI recently had a new solid insulated patio cover installed. My experience with Ocean Pacific Patios was amazing from start to finish. Charlie the Design Consultant was friendly and knowledgeable! Most importantly he was not pushy at all! He answered all my questions without hesitation. The Construction Manager, John, was wonderful too! He had great suggestions and expertise knowledge! Mario and his crew did an excellent job in the demolition of my old cover and installed the new one with precise skills! I have already recommended this company to three people. I have zero complaints!

Posted on GoogleWe did a large front/backyard remodel and pool. John and his team did the Pergolas. Of the three separate contractors we used I would only recommend John. He and his team were professional and the quality was first rate. I really wish I had discovered John before I signed the contract with the main hardscape contractor. John's experience and excellent problem solving skills really saved the project. I highly recommend Ocean Pacific Patios.

Posted on GoogleJohn and Charlie took on our complicated home patio pavers and drainage project this past fall 2025. It was small, so I was worried it would not be a priority for anyone - but they were prompt, fair, and no-nonsense. Their crews were expedient, knowledgeable and exceeded our expectations. They were patient while we selected just the right paver color, and made suggestions such as some small accent lights that have made a huge difference! Charlie is extremely knowledgeable and helped us to achieve a beautiful result that drains properly. They even helped locate and connect a drain line that was buried under some pavers we had placed years ago, leaving the area looking beautiful! I would highly recommend Ocean Pacific Patios, without reservation. They are the best.

Posted on GoogleIf you’re looking for a beautiful, high quality patio cover at a fair price, this is the company to use. Construction manager John Haynes handled all our design needs in a very professional manner. Tony and the install crew really know their stuff too.
You couldn’t go wrong using Ocean Pacific Patios. - Dave Ramos2 years ago★★★★★
Posted on GoogleAfter several bids and proposals with patio cover companies, we decided to go with Ocean Pacific to replace our old dilapidated patio cover. Charlie was informative and fair in presenting his numbers. John, the construction manager, in addition to his expertise in confirming the design details, was very helpful in referring a wood repair man (who did a great job). Demo day went smoothly. The crew was quick and efficient. Installation of the patio cover was spectacular - Hugo and his helper completed the job in one day! They were professional and answered my questions. They cleaned up the back yard after their completion. We are very happy with the patio cover. It turned out beautiful! Thank you, Ocean Pacific.

Posted on GoogleIt was great working with Ocean Pacific Patios. I updated my pool deck and was extremely pleased with the quality of work that was produced. Looking forward to them for more projects in the future.

Posted on GoogleMy wife and I selected Ocean Pacific Patios after receiving several different bids. From the beginning, Charlie came to our home and listened to what we wanted. During this process, Charlie suggested a different option that we had not thought of. He presented us a bid for our option and the new option he offered. We finally decided to go with Charlie’s option. Charlie and John came out for the final design meeting, at which time John made a production drawing of our new patio cover, which really helped tell us we made the right design decision. During the installation John’s crew was very professional and they left the work site clean, when finished. We are very happy with the new patio cover and glad Charlie suggested this option. I would highly recommend Ocean Pacific Patios. Thanks Charlie and John.

Posted on GoogleBy far the EASIEST process it was by working with Charlie Twitch who sealed the deal and outbid 6 other contractors and John Haynes whose expertise made this sunroom exactly to vision. This company is truly the sunroom experts of Orange County. Please trust me when I tell you, my yard was a complete disaster before this and not only did they demo the existing leaking cover which came with the house, but they helped me design the rest of the yard alongside others and were amazing coordinating and masterminding the final outcome. They are honest and treated me like family the entire time. Look no further. I already did the research for you!

Posted on GoogleWe decided to work with John and his team at Ocean Pacific Patio after our due diligence in gathering a number of quotes and design ideas. We do not have a standard patio layout and so it was very important to have the right people who could understand our vision. After meeting with John and going over the details, it was clear to us that he could take us to the finish line with our outdoor patio cover. The build took two days and our space was kept very clean. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is first class. I would definitely recommend Ocean Pacific Patios to anyone who is looking to build their dream patio. Thank you 🙏🏽
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Still deciding? Call us and we will talk it through.
Call (949) 525-1267Can I build a patio cover or pergola without a permit in California?
Usually not. Many California cities require one for pergolas and patio covers, and the trigger points differ from city to city, such as roof area, height or how close the frame sits to a property line. Your city's building department has the final word, and we go over its requirements with you during planning.
Are the louvers adjustable?
The louvered roofs in our project photos use fixed slats set at an angle chosen during design. If you want louvers that open and close, mention it at your design visit and we will tell you plainly whether a fixed slat roof can meet that need.
Does a louvered pergola keep out rain?
Not fully. Rain passes between the slats, so a louvered roof is mainly for shade. If you want a dry area, add a solid or insulated section over the table or kitchen, or consider a full patio cover for that part of the yard.
Can you put a lattice on top of a pergola instead of louvers?
Yes. Lattice is a tighter grid across the rafters that gives soft, even shade, while louvers are deeper slats set at an angle that block more direct sun. Many homeowners choose lattice for a traditional look and louvers for a modern one.
Can I get a custom size pergola made?
Yes. We size the frame to your patio and set the slat spacing and direction for your sun, so the shade lands where you sit. That is the main advantage over a store kit with fixed sizes and fixed slats.
