You know that 5 AM Florida sunrise that hits your bedroom like a spotlight. Or the afternoon sun that turns your living room into a furnace. That stops with proper blackout shades.
Real blackout shades don’t just dim the light—they eliminate it. Your bedroom becomes the sleep sanctuary it should be. Your furniture stops fading. Your AC doesn’t work overtime fighting the sun’s heat.
Southwest Ranches homes deserve window treatments that match their quality. You get custom-measured shades that fit perfectly, motorized options that work with your smart home, and installation that doesn’t disrupt your day.
We serve Southwest Ranches homeowners who want their window treatments done right the first time. We’re not the guys who show up with generic solutions and hope they work.
We understand Southwest Ranches properties—the large windows, the unique architectural details, the need for both function and style. Our team handles everything from initial consultation to final installation.
You’re dealing with a comprehensive design company, not just a window covering installer. That means we see how your blackout shades fit into your overall home design and functionality goals.
We start with an in-home consultation where we measure your windows and discuss your specific needs. No generic solutions—every recommendation is based on your actual windows, your light control needs, and your home’s design.
Once you approve the design, we custom-manufacture your blackout shades to exact specifications. This isn’t off-the-shelf stuff that almost fits. These are made for your windows.
Installation happens on your schedule. Our team arrives prepared, installs your shades efficiently, and tests everything to ensure perfect operation. You get shades that work exactly as promised from day one.

Your blackout shade installation includes precise measurements, custom manufacturing, and professional mounting. We handle the technical details—proper bracket placement, cord management, and operational testing.
Southwest Ranches homes often have unique window configurations. We work with arched windows, oversized openings, and complex architectural features that standard retailers can’t handle properly.
You also get options most companies don’t offer. Motorized operation that integrates with your smart home system. Multiple fabric choices that complement your interior design. Child-safe cord systems that meet current safety standards.
Quality blackout shades block 99% of light when properly installed and measured. The key is precise measurement and proper mounting—gaps around the edges let light sneak in.
We measure each window individually and use mounting techniques that minimize light gaps. For Southwest Ranches homes with large windows or unique shapes, we often recommend overlapping the window frame to ensure complete coverage.
The fabric quality matters too. True blackout fabric has a backing that prevents light penetration, unlike “room darkening” shades that only reduce light.
Properly installed blackout shades can reduce cooling costs by 15-25% in Florida homes. They work by blocking solar heat gain—the sun’s energy that would otherwise heat your home.
Southwest Ranches gets intense afternoon sun, especially on west-facing windows. Blackout shades on these windows make the biggest impact on your energy bills. Your AC doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain comfortable temperatures.
The energy savings are year-round in Florida. Even winter sun can heat your home more than you want, and blackout shades give you complete control over solar heat gain.
Blackout shades block 99% of light while room darkening shades typically block 85-95%. That difference is significant if you need complete darkness for sleep or media rooms.
Room darkening shades reduce glare and provide some privacy, but they won’t create the cave-like darkness that blackout shades deliver. If you work night shifts or have young children who need daytime naps, blackout is the way to go.
The fabric construction is different too. Blackout shades have specialized backing or weaving that prevents light penetration. Room darkening shades use denser fabrics but don’t have the same light-blocking technology.
Yes, we install motorized blackout shades that work with most smart home systems. Motorization is especially practical for hard-to-reach windows or when you want to control multiple shades simultaneously.
Southwest Ranches homes often have tall windows or windows in difficult locations. Motorized operation eliminates the need for long cords or climbing to reach manual controls. You can program them to close automatically when the sun hits certain windows.
The motors are quiet and reliable. Battery-powered options don’t require electrical work, while hardwired systems integrate with your home’s electrical system for permanent installation.
Most residential installations take 2-4 hours depending on the number of windows and complexity. We schedule installation at your convenience and work efficiently to minimize disruption.
The timeline starts with measurement—usually a separate appointment that takes 30-60 minutes. Custom manufacturing takes 1-2 weeks. Then we schedule installation when your shades are ready.
We come prepared with all necessary tools and hardware. No need for multiple trips or waiting for parts. Installation includes testing each shade to ensure smooth operation and proper light blocking.
Our custom blackout shades come with manufacturer warranties on both fabric and hardware components. Fabric warranties typically cover 3-5 years, while hardware warranties cover 1-3 years depending on the specific product.
We also warranty our installation work. If mounting brackets come loose or operational issues develop due to installation problems, we fix them at no charge. This covers the first year after installation.
For motorized shades, motor warranties are separate and usually longer—often 5 years. We handle all warranty claims directly so you’re not dealing with multiple companies if issues arise.
