C.J. Delery, manufacturing and installation of Del-Port aluminum covers

C.J. Delery is a family-owned and operated company run by the Delery family since 1981. It specializes in the manufacturing and installation of heavy-duty aluminum patio covers and car ports under the trade name Del-Port. The firm presents itself as an industry leader in the manufacturing and installation of building solutions for residential and commercial use in the Southeast, and operates as a trade name of Delery Construction, LLC.

A computer-designed product with a harder alloy

Del-Port covers are developed using computer-aided design. The company maintains that this product is superior for several specific technical reasons:

• It uses heavy-gauge aluminum in thicknesses of .025, .032, .040 and .050, with a harder aluminum alloy than that used by other roll-form cover manufacturers.
• The finish is baked on, which according to the company is more durable and will not chalk like the more common dip coatings.
• It uses a deeper, stronger panel locking seam.
• The 18-inch flashing material is .025 thick with a baked-on finish, compared with the 12-inch, .018 uncoated galvanized material that, according to the company, most competitors use.
• The 6 x 4-inch wrap-around clean-out gutter system represents, in its presentation, a significant improvement over other manufacturers' designs.

Warranty and technical performance

The company offers a 20-year warranty on labor, materials and leaks on all installed projects, which it presents as the best in the industry. Del-Port covers can be designed to meet or exceed wind load ratings of 110 mph. The company states that it does not use subcontractors in any phase of its manufacturing or installations.

Residential and commercial applications

C.J. Delery serves both residential and commercial projects. The company is fully licensed and insured, and is a member of the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and the Greater New Orleans Home Builders Association. Its full-time workforce of installers has as its stated priority professionalism in craftsmanship and service.

Del-Port Kits and wholesale sales

In addition to direct installation, the company sells Del-Port kits custom designed to the requirements of each project. These kits are available to contractors located outside the metropolitan New Orleans region through its wholesale program.

Innovation and track record
