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.

Here's what the numbers actually say about these towns. Scotia's median home was built in 1943, with roughly half its housing older than 1939. Niskayuna's median home dates to 1966 — and Glenville splits the same way, an older village center running pre-1939 next to a newer East Glenville built out around the same decade as Niskayuna. Whichever decade a given block landed in, the trees planted alongside it have had fifty to eighty years to grow into a full canopy — the kind of shade that competes with a new pergola's footing dig as much as it flatters the yard.

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.

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, Egypt, Mexico, and more than fifty sites throughout 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 Decadent Outdoors is the exclusive StruXure and Fenetex dealer serving the wider Capital Region — including Schenectady, Niskayuna, Scotia, and Glenville. That factory certification is what backs the full manufacturer warranty.

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 within a single day.
