Estimate breakdown for a louvered pergola project totaling $27,951 in Charleston, South Carolina: 1 unit, prepared in August 2023.
South Carolina's climate — long hot summers, coastal salt exposure, and tropical-storm wind loads — drives different outdoor shade priorities than the national average. The local UV (high) pushes fabric selection toward solution-dyed acrylic or PVDF-coated mesh, and the wind exposure (high along the coast) pushes hardware specs toward heavier-gauge cassettes and motorized retraction. Estimating in the summer of 2023 is typical for South Carolina — most outdoor shade installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
