Outdoor Living · Schenectady, NY · Pergolas · Screens · Radiant Heating

This property has been cared for. The outdoor space should finally match.

Motorized pergolas, retractable screens, and radiant heating — designed for homeowners in Niskayuna, Scotia, Glenville, and Schenectady's reinvested neighborhoods who are ready for the outdoor space to catch up to everything else they've built. The only authorized StruXure and Fenetex dealer in the Capital Region.

THE PROBLEM

The one part of the property that hasn't caught up yet.

Generous lots. Mature trees. Homes maintained across generations. And a backyard that hasn't quite matched the rest of the property.

Not from neglect. The right solution just takes a level of design thinking most outdoor contractors don't offer.

The homes in Niskayuna, Scotia, and Glenville were built with intention. Built to last. The outdoor space deserves the same — designed with care, built to the same standard, used every season for decades.

Outdoor living solutions designed for the Schenectady area.

Here’s how Decadent Outdoors can help you take your outdoor living space back.

Stop giving up your outdoor season.

We come to you, assess your space, and give you a fixed price — before you decide anything.

The right outdoor solution for a Schenectady property takes more than a contractor.

Decadent Outdoors founder Jeff Mazzarelli didn't come up through contracting. He spent 35 years building resort environments across Asia, Mexico, and the United States — places where the outdoor space was held to the same standard as the architecture, never a step below it. That's the standard he runs Decadent Outdoors on, 25 minutes away in Ballston Lake.

We work with Schenectady-area homeowners who want their outdoor spaces to reflect the same care and intention as they've put into the rest of their property. The bones are already exceptional. We bring the outdoor space that completes them.

Picture this:

A Schenectady backyard that finally matches the house above it. Screens along the Mohawk that make summer evenings usable again. October in Scotia, outside, while the neighbors have gone in for the year. A property that's complete — inside and out.

Common Questions

Frequently asked by Schenectady area homeowners.

Who installs StruXure pergolas near Schenectady, NY?

StruXure is a dealer-installed system, and the only authorized dealership in the Capital Region belongs to Decadent Outdoors — covering Schenectady, Niskayuna, Scotia, and Glenville. That factory certification is what backs the full manufacturer warranty; no other local company carries it.

What outdoor living companies serve Niskayuna and Scotia, NY?

Decadent Outdoors is the Capital Region's only full-service luxury outdoor living company serving the Schenectady area — offering motorized pergolas, retractable screens, and radiant heating as a complete designed system. Based in Ballston Lake, 25 minutes from Schenectady.

How much does a pergola cost in the Schenectady area?

We don't quote pergolas over the phone, and it isn't evasion. A StruXure Pergola X is built to order for one specific patio — your spans, your roofline, your post locations. Until someone has measured the space, any number we gave you would be a guess dressed up as a quote.

What moves the number here: size and how the louvers are zoned, whether it attaches to the house, the snow load your municipality requires, footings below the frost line, and what you add — screens, heat, lighting. That last set is why national averages don't apply in Upstate New York.

We come to you, design the space, and give you one fixed price before you decide anything. It covers engineering, permit filing and installation, and it doesn't change afterwards.

Can I add retractable screens to an existing structure in Niskayuna or Scotia?

In most cases, yes. Fenetex screens can be added to existing pergolas, covered patios, porches, and porch structures. During the free in-home consultation we assess your existing structure and design the screen system around it. Most Schenectady area screen installations are completed in a single day per bay.
