A motorized louvered roof installation for Tommy's Bridgewater patio — converts an outdoor section into an all-weather room that extends the restaurant's revenue through every season.
Tommy's Tavern + Tap Bridgewater is one of the strongest-performing locations in the group — a busy Somerset County destination with steady traffic for sports, family dining, and after-work crowds. The outdoor patio was already a feature when the group brought us in. The issue was usable days per year.
Group leadership wanted the Bridgewater patio to operate the way the building's interior does: open every day, regardless of weather. A tent or retractable awning was out — neither matches the architectural look the brand has built, and both require manual handling at exactly the moments the team can't spare staff.
New Jersey commercial code in Somerset County required PE-stamped engineering for the wind loads, snow loads, and structural attachments. The system also had to integrate with the existing patio finishes and rooflines without reading as an after-the-fact add-on.
Breslow specified the Azenco R-Blade™, the same commercial-grade motorized louvered system installed across the Tommy's group. Aluminum louvers rotate 160° for sun and ventilation, then close and seal against rain in under 60 seconds — fully automated, no staff intervention.
Engineering was stamped for Somerset County wind loads (open and closed louvers) and the local snow load. The RAL finish was selected to read with the existing Tommy's exterior so the structure becomes part of the building's architecture. Integrated drainage routes water through the structural posts — no visible downspouts.
Full turnkey scope: design → PE engineering → Bridgewater Township permitting → Azenco fabrication → installation → lifetime service. One Breslow project manager, sequenced around Tommy's operating hours so dinner service was never interrupted.
Every commercial structure Breslow installs ships with PE-stamped engineering calculated for the actual site — not a generic dealer spec sheet. Here is what went into Tommy's Tavern + Tap Bridgewater.
Commercial decisions aren't made from a pergola catalog. Every Breslow commercial project begins with a photo-real design rendering so stakeholders — owner, GM, board, architect — see the finished space before a single beam is ordered.

Commercial restaurant louvered roof installations of this scope typically run $150K–$350K depending on louver area, structural attachment, perimeter screens, lighting, and HVAC integration. The Tommy's Bridgewater scope was a full-coverage motorized louvered roof matched to the existing patio footprint. Every Breslow commercial quote is fixed-price and includes engineering, permits, fabrication, and installation. Request a site walk for an exact estimate.
From signed contract to first service under the new structure, restaurant installations like Tommy's Bridgewater run 12–18 weeks: 3 weeks design + photo-real rendering, 4–6 weeks PE engineering and Bridgewater Township permitting, 4–6 weeks Azenco fabrication and finishing, and 2–3 weeks on-site installation. We sequence around restaurant operating hours so peak dinner service is never interrupted.
Yes. Breslow Design & Build is the Northeast's premier certified Azenco commercial dealer, serving NJ, NY, CT, PA, MD, DE, RI, MA, and FL. Our field crews operate out of Springfield, NJ. We've delivered commercial projects for restaurant groups, country clubs, rooftop venues, and hospitality properties across the region. Every commercial scope includes PE-stamped engineering, permitting, fabrication, installation, and lifetime service — all in-house.
Yes. Every commercial structure Breslow installs ships with site-specific PE-stamped structural engineering — wind loads calculated for the actual site (both louvers open and louvers closed), snow loads sized to local code, and stamps issued in the state where the project is built. Architects and GCs receive full shop drawings and AIA-compatible specs as part of the standard scope, not as an add-on.
Azenco-manufactured Motorized Louvered Roof systems carry a 20-year structural warranty on the aluminum extrusion and a 5-year warranty on motors, electronics, and finishes. Breslow installation work is warranted separately, and every motorized system we install is backed by our in-house lifetime service team — one phone call, one team, for as long as the structure is on your property.
A Breslow project manager on every commercial job. One point of contact from the first site walk through final punch list. No relay between sales, design, engineering, and install.
PE-stamped engineering is standard, not an add-on. Commercial load calculations, wind ratings (open and closed louvers), and state-specific stamps are included in the scope. Architects and GCs receive full shop drawings and AIA-compatible specs.
Permitting across the Northeast. We expedite DOB submissions, handle state-specific commercial requirements, and track the approval timeline so construction starts on schedule.
Full lifecycle — not a dealership handoff. Most Azenco dealers sub out engineering, permitting, and service. Breslow keeps all of it in-house. That's why country clubs, restaurant groups, and commercial property owners across 9 states trust us with their outdoor revenue.
102 years of continuous operation. Breslow was founded in 1924 and is still Shaw-family operated. When you install a commercial structure from us, the company backing the warranty will still be here in ten years.
Lifetime service on everything we install. Motorized systems need a service partner. We are that partner — one phone call, one team.
Tell us what you're trying to build. Our commercial team will walk your site, develop a photo-real design rendering, and give you a PE-stamped engineering scope and timeline — before you commit to anything.
