Your AC runs less because the shades close automatically during peak sun hours. You’re not walking room to room adjusting blinds anymore—everything runs on schedules you set once, or you control it from your phone.
The real difference shows up in your electric bill. Homestead homeowners typically see cooling costs drop 15-25% once they automate their window coverage. That’s not a marketing claim—it’s what happens when you stop letting afternoon sun pour through glass all day.
You also stop worrying about cords around kids or pets. Lutron electric shades have no chains, no loops, nothing dangling. The motors include obstacle detection, so if something blocks the shade, it stops automatically.
And if you’re dealing with those high windows in newer Homestead builds, you’re done struggling with pull cords. One tap on your phone, and every shade in the house adjusts exactly how you want it.
We handle everything from measuring to programming. We’re based in Hallandale Beach and work throughout Homestead, installing Lutron window treatments in single-family homes, condos, and commercial spaces.
We’re not a franchise. We’re a local design company that also does home automation, remodeling, and custom furniture—so when you need shades that integrate with your smart home setup, we already know how those systems talk to each other.
Most of our Homestead clients come to us because they want motorized shades that’ll last in Florida’s climate. We’ve installed these in waterfront properties where salt air destroys cheaper systems within a year. Lutron motors are sealed against moisture, and the fabrics resist fading and mildew. That’s why we install them.
First, we come to your home and measure every window. Lutron shades get custom-built to your exact dimensions—down to an eighth of an inch—so there’s no light gap and no binding when humidity fluctuates.
Once your shades arrive, we schedule the installation. For most Homestead homes, that’s a single day. A typical three-bedroom place takes four to six hours. Larger homes with more windows might need a full day or slightly more.
We mount the shades, run any necessary wiring (or set up battery-powered units if you prefer), and then program everything. If you want integration with Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit, we handle that setup too. You’ll see exactly how to control individual shades, room groups, or the whole house before we leave.
After installation, you can set schedules—like closing the east-facing shades at 10 a.m. and the west-facing ones at 3 p.m.—or you can control everything manually from your phone. Both work. Most people start manual and add schedules once they see how much cooler the house stays.

Every Lutron shade gets built specifically for your windows. You’re not adjusting a stock size or dealing with gaps. The fit is exact, and the operation stays smooth even when Homestead’s temperature swings 20 degrees in a day.
The motors are engineered for coastal climates. Sealed components keep out moisture and salt air—two things that kill standard motorized shades in South Florida. You’re also getting fabrics designed for high UV exposure, so they won’t fade or break down the way untreated materials do.
Smart home integration is built in, not added on. These shades work with all the major platforms, and you can control them by voice, app, or automation. If you’re already running a smart home system, Lutron fits right in. If you’re just starting, these shades are a solid first step.
Installation includes programming and walkthrough. You’ll know how to operate everything before we leave, and if you want to adjust schedules or groupings later, it’s straightforward. Lutron’s app is clearer than most.
The warranty covers the motors, and we stock common parts locally. If something needs repair, you’re not waiting weeks for a part to ship from out of state. We handle service calls throughout Homestead and surrounding areas.
Cost depends on the number of windows, shade type, and fabric. A single motorized roller shade typically runs between $600 and $1,200 installed, depending on size and material.
For a full home, you’re looking at a few thousand to several thousand dollars. A three-bedroom Homestead home with standard-sized windows usually falls in the $5,000 to $10,000 range for a complete Lutron system with smart home integration.
That sounds like a lot until you factor in energy savings. Most Homestead homeowners recover the cost within three to five years through lower cooling bills. Florida’s year-round AC usage means automated shading makes a measurable difference. You’re also getting a system that lasts 10-15 years in our climate, compared to cheaper motorized options that fail within two or three.
Yes, but only if you actually use them strategically. Closing shades during peak sun hours reduces heat gain through your windows, which means your AC doesn’t have to work as hard.
The Department of Energy estimates that proper window coverings can reduce heat gain by up to 77%. In Homestead, where summer sun hits hard from morning to evening, automating your shades to close during peak hours typically cuts cooling costs by 15-25%.
The key is automation. Most people don’t manually close their shades at the right times—they’re at work, or they forget, or it’s just inconvenient. Lutron smart shades run on schedules, so your home stays cooler without you thinking about it. That’s where the real savings come from. Set it once, and the system handles it every day.
Most residential installations in Homestead take one day. A typical three-bedroom home with 10-15 windows usually takes four to six hours from start to finish.
Larger homes or more complex setups—like integrating with existing smart home systems or installing shades on unusually sized windows—might take a full day or slightly longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline after the initial measurement visit.
The process includes mounting the shades, connecting them to power (or installing batteries for wireless units), programming the system, and integrating with your smart home platform if you have one. Before we leave, we walk you through all the controls so you know exactly how to operate everything. You’re using the shades the same day we install them.
Yes. Lutron engineers their motors specifically for coastal climates like South Florida. The motors are completely sealed against moisture and salt air, which is what destroys cheaper motorized systems in our area.
The fabrics are also designed for high-humidity, high-UV environments. Marine-grade materials resist mildew, fading, and deterioration. We’ve installed these in waterfront properties from Homestead to Key Biscayne without weather-related failures.
Standard motorized shades—especially budget options—typically fail within a year or two in Florida. Humidity gets into the motors, salt air corrodes components, and UV exposure breaks down untreated fabrics. Lutron systems are built differently. You’re looking at 10-15 years of reliable operation in Homestead’s climate, assuming proper installation. That’s why we install them instead of cheaper alternatives.
Yes. Lutron smart shades integrate with Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and Samsung SmartThings. You can control individual shades, room groups, or your entire home with voice commands.
Setup is straightforward. During installation, we connect your Lutron system to your existing smart home platform. After that, you can say things like “Alexa, close the living room shades” or “Hey Google, open the bedroom shades to 50%.” It works exactly how you’d expect.
You can also control everything from the Lutron app without voice commands. The app lets you set schedules, create scenes (like “movie mode” that closes all shades and dims lights), and adjust individual shades from anywhere. Most Homestead clients use a mix—voice control when they’re home, app control when they’re traveling and want to make the house look occupied.
Lutron’s warranty covers motor replacement, and we handle service calls throughout Homestead. If a shade stops responding, we troubleshoot remotely first—sometimes it’s a simple connectivity issue or a setting that needs adjustment.
If the motor actually failed, we stock common parts locally, so you’re not waiting weeks for something to ship. Most repairs happen within a few days of your call. That’s one advantage of working with a local Lutron shade dealer instead of ordering online.
The motors are reliable—failures are rare if the system was installed correctly. Most service calls we get are for programming adjustments or adding new shades to an existing system, not actual repairs. But when something does go wrong, we’re local, we know the product, and we fix it fast.
