Dealer program

Sell the pergola. Skip the distributor.

We are the Southwest Florida manufacturer for Sundance Louvered Roofs, building the system here in Sarasota. Now opening the line to dealers, at factory-direct pricing, from the people who actually make it.

Why this is worth your time

Every dollar between you and the extrusion is a dollar off your margin.

Most outfits selling motorized pergolas in Florida are reselling somebody else's product. It gets marked up once before they ever see it, and again before the customer does. By the time it reaches a quote, the money has already been split three ways.

We are the manufacturer. The aluminum is extruded in America, powder coated in our own shop, fabricated here and shipped from here. When you sell our pergola you are buying one step from the raw material, which is the only place in the chain where the margin has not already been spent.

Behind it is a company that has been in business since 1870. That matters when a customer asks who stands behind the warranty, and it is why we can put these numbers in writing:

LifetimeOn the aluminum structure. The pergola itself.
10 yearsOn the moving parts.
5 yearsOn the electronics.
Raw extruded aluminum billet stock

It starts as American aluminum. We take it from there.

The system you would be selling
Sundance Louvered Roofs

We are the Southwest Florida manufacturer for Sundance Louvered Roofs.

You are not selling an unbranded pergola off an unnamed line. It is the Sundance Louvered Roof system, and we are the shop that builds it for Southwest Florida.

High-grade extruded aluminum that will not rust or corrode, powder-coated paint that will not peel, waterproof electronics, and a system structurally engineered to last in all climates. That is the product. Your customer can look the brand up, and what they find backs up what you told them.

Learn about the system at SundanceLR.com.

What a dealer gets

Straight answers, before you sign anything.

Factory-direct dealer pricing

You buy at manufacturer pricing. No distributor markup sitting between you and the product, which is where your margin usually goes.

Help protecting your territory

We work with you on the area you cover instead of stacking dealers on top of each other. Talk to us about your territory before you build a pipeline in it.

Training on the system

Motorized louvers are not a lumber pergola. We train your crew on how the system goes together and how it is meant to be set up.

Install support

We back you up on installation. You are not handed a crate and a manual and left to figure out the first one on a customer's roof.

A product that holds its price

All-aluminum, motorized, engineered for coastal weather, 150+ powder-coat colors and real wood-grain finishes. Nothing at a big-box store competes with it, so you are not defending your number against a kit.

A warranty you can quote out loud

Lifetime on the aluminum, 10 years on moving parts, 5 years on electronics. You are not hedging on the last question every customer asks.

American made, start to finish

Extruded and manufactured in the USA. For a lot of buyers that is the answer that closes the sale, and you can say it without hedging.

What stays on your side

The part most programs bury in the fine print.

We would rather you hear it now than find out on your first job. On dealer projects:

  • Engineering is your responsibility Sealed drawings and structural sign-off for your jurisdiction are handled on your end.
  • Permitting is your responsibility You pull the permits and manage the inspections with your local building department.
  • The customer relationship is yours You sell it, you quote it, you own the account. We supply the product and support you behind it.

If you already run an outdoor living, screen, awning or general contracting business in Florida, none of that is new work to you. It is the same paperwork you do now, on a better product.
