About
Outdoor living, built for Tallahassee.
The short answer
SJB Outdoor Living designs, measures, and installs louvered pergolas, exterior shades, exterior shutters, and retractable awnings for homes in Tallahassee, Florida, and the surrounding Leon County area. Every system is custom-fabricated to the opening and installed by our own crews, not subcontractors. Consultations in Tallahassee are free and done in your home, with samples brought to you.
Outdoor living in Tallahassee — the state capital, known for its canopy roads and gently rolling hills — comes with a specific set of demands: hot, humid summers and frequent afternoon thunderstorms. We design around those conditions first and worry about the catalog second.
Whether you're shading a lanai in Midtown, covering a poolside patio, or finishing a new build, we bring the products, expertise, and hand-fit installation to match both your design vision and the way you actually use the space.

Louvered Pergolas in Tallahassee, FL
Think of it as a roof with a dimmer switch. The motorized louvers rotate through the day to hold shade where you want it, then shut flush to shed water into concealed gutters. We size each structure to the actual patio — including the awkward ones, which is most of them in older parts of Leon County — and fabricate from marine-grade aluminum with LED lighting, retractable screens, and heaters as options.
Exterior Shades in Tallahassee, FL
A west-facing lanai in Midtown is unusable at 5 p.m. without something on the outside of the opening. Zip-track exterior shades solve it — solar-screen mesh in a range of openness factors, so you choose how much view you keep versus how much sun you cut. Manual or motorized, with wind and sun sensors if you'd rather not think about it.
Exterior Shutters in Tallahassee, FL
Bahama shutters are the ones people in Midtown ask for by name — top-hinged, propped out at an angle, throwing shade on the glass while still letting light and air past. We also build colonial and storm-rated panels for homeowners who want the protection without the tropical read. Every set is cut to the opening and installed with hardware rated for inland conditions.
Retractable Awnings in Tallahassee, FL
The reason these last is that they spend most of their life closed. A cassette-housed retractable awning rolls into a sealed aluminum shell, which keeps UV and moisture off the fabric and the mechanism out of the inland air. Add a wind sensor and it retracts itself before a gust gets to it — the single most common way awnings die, and the easiest one to prevent.

Common questions
Tallahassee homeowners usually ask us this.
- Do you install louvered pergolas in Tallahassee, FL?
- Yes. SJB Outdoor Living designs, permits, and installs motorized louvered pergolas throughout Tallahassee and Leon County, along with exterior shades, exterior shutters, and retractable awnings. Each structure is engineered for the wind load at your specific address and installed by our own crew.
- How long does installation take in Tallahassee?
- On site, expect one day for shades and awnings and two to three days for a louvered pergola or a storm-rated shutter package. The longer part is before we arrive: custom fabrication plus Leon County permit review where the system is structural.
- Are your products rated for Florida storms?
- Yes. Our louvered pergolas, hurricane screens, and storm shutters carry Florida Product Approval with documented design-pressure ratings, and we verify the rating required for your Leon County address rather than relying on a manufacturer's general spec sheet.
- Is the consultation really free, and do you charge for a quote in Tallahassee?
- Both are free. We come to the home, measure the actual openings, bring samples, and leave you with a written quote. There is no charge and no obligation, and we cover Tallahassee and the surrounding Leon County area as part of our regular service route.
