Motorized Louvered Roofs
Local Northern Michigan Installers
Sun, Rain, Snow? We got you covered.
Yoders Upnorth installs Forever Pergola in Traverse City — manufactured in Jackson, Michigan. Direct from the factory. A family crew, not a franchise.
We do one thing, and we do it right.
Northern Michigan does not get a long outdoor season. When the weather finally turns, the patio should work — sun at 2pm, a squall off the bay, lake-effect snow in March. Get a 100% extruded aluminum motorized louvered pergola: watertight hidden gutter system, insulated dual-wall louvers, Somfy motors, and WiFi accessories. Michael Yoder and his crew handle design, permit, and install. Typically two to four days on site.
Give us a call to schedule a free design consultation with a local licensed builder. Dealer site: yodersupnorth.com/louvered-pergolas

Northern Michigan project intent
Waterfront lots, freeze-thaw footings, and short-season outdoor rooms. A good design is only as good as the crew that builds it. Yoders Upnorth installs. Jackson manufactures.
Who shows up
Michael Yoder leads the consult, oversees the build, and is at the walkthrough. Joanna runs operations and client communication. MI licensed builder. Not a call center. Not a traveling crew from downstate.
