Your AC stops running constantly. When shades automatically close during peak sun hours, you’re blocking heat before it turns your living room into a sauna. That’s less strain on your cooling system and a noticeable drop in your monthly electric bill.
Your furniture stops fading. UV rays don’t care how much you paid for that sofa. Lutron Shades filter over 99% of harmful UV light, which means your floors, fabrics, and finishes keep their color for years longer.
You stop worrying about cords. If you have kids or pets, cordless motorized shades eliminate the safety hazard that comes with traditional pull cords and chains. Everything operates with a tap on your phone, a voice command, or a programmed schedule.
Your home feels more comfortable. Glare disappears when you need it to. Privacy happens instantly. And because Lutron’s motors are engineered for near-silent operation, you get all the function without the noise. Multiple shades move in perfect alignment, so your space looks polished and feels intentional.
We’re based in Hallandale Beach and handle everything from window treatments to full home automation. We’ve been doing this in New York and Toronto for 15 years, and we’re bringing that same level of service to South Florida.
We only work with brands that perform in this climate. Lutron is one of them. Their systems are built to handle oversized windows, intense sun exposure, and the kind of heat that makes cheap motorized shades fail within a year.
We’re not a franchise. We’re a local design group that understands what Glenvar Heights homeowners deal with: high cooling costs, strong UV exposure, and the need for window treatments that actually work with smart home systems. We measure, install, program, and support every system we sell.
We start with a free on-site consultation. You show us the windows that need coverage, we talk about how you use each room, and we measure everything. If you already have a smart home system, we confirm compatibility. If not, we explain what’s needed to get Lutron shades talking to Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit.
Next, we walk you through fabric options. Lutron offers hundreds of materials in different opacities—sheer, light filtering, room darkening, blackout. We help you pick what works for each space based on sun exposure, privacy needs, and how the fabric looks with your interiors.
Once you approve the design, we order your custom shades and schedule installation. Our team mounts the hardware, installs the motors, and programs everything to work exactly how you want. That includes setting up scenes, schedules, and integrations with your lighting or thermostat if you’re going that route.
After installation, we test every shade to make sure it operates smoothly and syncs properly with your system. We show you how to control everything and leave you with straightforward instructions. If something needs adjustment down the road, we’re local and we handle it.

Lutron motorized shades are built with ultra-quiet motors that move multiple shades in perfect sync. When you have a wall of windows, that precision matters. Everything rises and lowers at the same speed, so the result looks clean and intentional.
The system integrates with every major smart home platform. If you’re running Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, or Samsung SmartThings, Lutron works with it. You can control shades by voice, schedule them to open at sunrise, or program scenes that adjust shades and lighting together based on time of day.
In Glenvar Heights, where summer heat is relentless and cooling costs add up fast, automated shading makes a real difference. Lutron shades can reduce solar heat gain by closing during peak sunlight hours, which lowers your AC load and cuts energy costs. That’s not marketing talk—it’s how thermal management works.
You also get hundreds of fabric choices. Roller shades, wood blinds, sheer materials, blackout options. Everything is custom-made to fit your windows, and Lutron’s system handles retrofit installations just as cleanly as new construction. If you’re upgrading an existing home, wireless options keep the install clean without tearing into walls.
Cost depends on the number of windows, the type of shades you choose, and whether you’re adding smart home integration. A single motorized roller shade typically starts around $600 to $800 installed, but that price shifts based on window size and fabric selection.
For a full home with 10 to 15 windows, you’re usually looking at $8,000 to $15,000. Larger windows, specialty fabrics, or blackout materials push that higher. If you’re integrating with a Lutron lighting system or adding scenes that coordinate shades with your thermostat, there’s additional cost for the hub and programming.
The upfront investment is higher than manual blinds, but the return shows up in energy savings and home value. Motorized window treatments are one of the features buyers actively look for, and homes with smart automation typically sell for 3% to 5% more. In Glenvar Heights, where homes are well-maintained and design matters, that difference adds up.
Yes, but the savings depend on how you use them. When shades close automatically during peak sun hours—usually between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.—they block solar heat before it enters your home. That reduces the load on your AC, which means it runs less often and uses less energy.
South Florida homes deal with intense UV exposure and heat gain through windows, especially on south- and west-facing walls. Lutron Shades with solar or blackout fabrics can block up to 99% of UV rays and significantly reduce heat transfer. Over a summer, that can cut cooling costs by 15% to 25%, depending on your home’s size, insulation, and how much glass you have.
The key is automation. If you manually close shades, you’ll forget. If they’re programmed to respond to time of day or temperature, they work without you thinking about it. Pair that with a smart thermostat, and you’re managing your home’s thermal load in a way that actually impacts your electric bill.
Lutron Shades integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, and most major smart home platforms. To make that happen, you need a Lutron Caséta Smart Bridge or a more advanced Lutron system like RA2 Select or RadioRA 3, depending on the scale of your setup.
The bridge connects your shades to your home’s Wi-Fi network, which allows you to control them through voice commands, smartphone apps, or automation routines. You can set schedules, create scenes that adjust shades and lights together, or trigger shades to close when your thermostat hits a certain temperature.
If you already have a Control4, Crestron, or Savant system, Lutron integrates with those too. That’s one reason Lutron is the go-to choice for high-end smart homes—compatibility isn’t an issue. During installation, we connect everything and program it to work the way you want. If you’re starting from scratch, we walk you through what’s needed to get your system running.
Lutron Shades are completely cordless, which eliminates the strangulation hazard that comes with traditional pull cords and chains. That’s a big reason families choose motorized window treatments—there’s nothing dangling that a child or pet can get tangled in.
The shades operate with a remote, smartphone app, or voice command. You can also program them to open and close on a schedule, so there’s no need for manual operation at all. If you have curious kids who like to mess with things, you can set up controls that require a password or limit access through the app.
Lutron motors are also designed to stop if they encounter resistance, so if something gets in the way during operation, the shade halts immediately. That’s a standard safety feature across their product line. For families in Glenvar Heights with young children or pets, motorized shades aren’t just convenient—they’re a safer choice than anything with cords.
Installation time depends on how many windows you’re covering and whether you’re doing a retrofit or new construction. For a typical home with 10 to 15 shades, installation usually takes one to two days.
We mount the brackets, install the motorized hardware, and program each shade to operate correctly. If you’re integrating with a smart home system, we also connect the shades to your hub, set up scenes, and test everything to make sure it responds properly to voice commands or automation routines.
Retrofit installations are clean. Lutron offers battery-powered and plug-in options that don’t require running new wiring through your walls. If you’re building new or doing a remodel, we can install hardwired systems that integrate with your electrical setup. Either way, we handle the entire process from measurement to final programming, and we don’t leave until everything works the way it should.
Lutron products come with a limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. If a motor fails or a component stops working within the warranty period, Lutron replaces it. We handle the coordination with Lutron and manage the repair or replacement process for you.
Most issues aren’t hardware failures—they’re programming or connectivity problems. If a shade stops responding to your app or voice commands, it’s usually a Wi-Fi issue, a hub that needs resetting, or a software update. We troubleshoot remotely when possible, and if we need to come out, we do.
Because we’re based in Hallandale Beach and serve Glenvar Heights regularly, we’re not shipping your service calls to a national call center. You’re working with the same team that installed your shades. If something needs adjustment, recalibration, or replacement, we handle it directly.
