Pergolas and Pergola Covers
The Hercules impact-resistant pergola cover system, built for Memphis summers
A New Service, a Serious Product
Pergola covers are the newest addition to the Reborn Roofing service lineup, and we did not add them lightly. We brought on the Hercules system because it solves a real problem for homeowners in the Memphis area -- outdoor living spaces that are unusable for half the year because of the heat. If you have a pergola, a patio cover, or an open-air structure that bakes in the summer sun, the Hercules system changes the equation entirely. This is not a shade sail you clip to some posts. The Hercules system is an engineered, impact-resistant pergola cover built from durable panels that are designed to handle everything the Mid-South throws at them -- heat, hail, wind, and driving rain. It is a permanent upgrade to your outdoor space, not a seasonal accessory you take down in October.Up to 40 Degrees Cooler Underneath
The single biggest reason homeowners install the Hercules system is the temperature drop. In independent testing, these covers have been shown to reduce the temperature underneath by up to 40 degrees Fahrenheit compared to direct sunlight. That number is not marketing language -- it is the measured difference between standing on an exposed patio at 150+ degrees and standing under a Hercules cover at a temperature where you can actually sit, eat, and enjoy being outside. Memphis summers are brutal. From late May through September, afternoon surface temperatures on uncovered concrete and stone patios regularly exceed what is comfortable for bare feet, let alone for sitting and entertaining. The Hercules system makes your patio, deck, or pergola usable during the months when it matters most. Instead of retreating indoors at noon and not coming back out until after dark, you get your outdoor space back.Built to Take a Hit
Impact resistance is where the Hercules system separates itself from cheaper alternatives. The Memphis metro area sees its share of severe weather -- hail, high winds, and storm debris are a regular part of spring and summer. Fabric canopies rip. Polycarbonate panels crack and yellow. The Hercules panels are specifically engineered to absorb impact without cracking, splitting, or degrading over time. When we install a Hercules cover, we are not coming back next spring to patch it. The materials are rated for the kind of punishment that would destroy a standard patio cover. That durability is the reason we chose to carry this product. It matches the standard we hold for every service we offer -- install it right, build it to last, and do not cut corners on materials.Three Color Options
The Hercules system is available in bronze, clear, and ice white colors to match your home's exterior. Whether your house has warm earth tones, cool grays, or a classic white trim, there is a panel color that complements your existing look. Every color in the lineup uses the same impact-resistant material -- choosing a different color does not mean choosing a different quality level. During your free consultation, we will bring color samples so you can see how each option looks against your siding, fascia, and outdoor furniture in real daylight. The goal is a pergola cover that looks like it belongs on your home, not like an afterthought bolted on top.Why We Added Pergola Covers
We are a roofing company first. Roofs are what we know, and protecting the top of your home is what we have built our reputation on. Pergola covers are a natural extension of that work. The same principles that make a roof perform -- quality materials, proper installation, weather resistance, and structural integrity -- apply directly to covering outdoor living spaces. We added the Hercules system because our customers kept asking for it. Homeowners who trusted us with their roof wanted to know if we could help with their patio too. Rather than send them to someone else, we found a product that met our standards and added it to the lineup. It is a new service, but the craftsmanship behind the installation is the same approach we bring to every job.Professional Installation
Every Hercules cover installation is handled by our own crew -- the same team that works on your roof. We do not subcontract pergola cover jobs to a separate installer. The structural attachment, panel alignment, water management, and finishing details are all done by people who understand how buildings are put together from the top down. Installation timelines vary depending on the size and configuration of your pergola or patio structure, but most residential jobs are completed within one to two days. We will walk you through the full scope during your consultation so there are no surprises on install day.Common Questions About Pergola Covers
The Hercules pergola cover system has been tested to reduce the temperature underneath by up to 40 degrees Fahrenheit compared to direct sunlight. In a Memphis summer where surface temperatures on an uncovered patio can exceed 150 degrees, that difference is the gap between unusable and comfortable.
The Hercules system comes in multiple color options designed to complement your home's exterior. During your free consultation, we will walk you through the full color lineup and help you choose one that matches your siding, trim, or outdoor furniture. Every color option uses the same impact-resistant material.
The Hercules system is specifically engineered to be impact-resistant. These are not fabric canopies or flimsy shade sails. The panels are built to withstand hail, wind-driven debris, and the kind of severe weather the Memphis area sees every spring and summer. They are designed to stay put when the storms roll in.
While we love the Hercules system we understand some customers do not want that option. So, we install shingles, metal, or any other type of roof a customer desires for their outside space.
