You’re managing Florida sun all day. Morning glare on your TV. Afternoon heat turning rooms into saunas. Faded furniture that cost too much to replace this soon.
Lutron window shades in Kendale Lakes give you precise control over natural light without the guesswork. Lower them during peak sun hours and your AC isn’t working overtime. Raise them when you want the view. Do it from your phone, a wall switch, or let them adjust automatically based on time of day.
The difference shows up in your energy bills and how your home feels. Rooms stay cooler. Furniture and flooring don’t fade as fast. And you’re not constantly adjusting blinds throughout the day because the system handles it for you. That’s what motorized precision gets you—comfort that doesn’t require constant attention.
We bring over 15 years of window treatment experience to Kendale Lakes, FL. We’re not new to this—we’ve been doing this in NYC and Toronto, and now we’re based in Hallandale Beach serving Miami-Dade and Broward County.
We’re a Lutron authorized dealer, which means we’ve completed the training to design, sell, and install their systems correctly. That matters more than it sounds like it does. Lutron’s motors are low-voltage and engineered for quiet, reliable operation—but only if they’re installed using methods that account for Florida’s humidity and temperature swings.
Kendale Lakes homes deal with specific challenges. The sun here isn’t the same as it is up north. Your windows face different exposures. Your cooling costs are higher. We size, specify, and install Lutron shades with that in mind, so you’re not replacing them in three years because someone didn’t account for the climate.
First, we come to your home in Kendale Lakes and measure your windows. Not just width and height—we’re looking at sun exposure, existing smart home systems, and what you actually need the shades to do. Block heat? Provide privacy? Integrate with Alexa or your Lutron lighting system? That conversation shapes everything.
Next, we walk you through fabric options. Lutron offers over 300 choices, and we help you narrow it down based on your goals. Sheer fabrics let light in while reducing glare. Room-darkening options give you full blackout for bedrooms or media rooms. We’re matching function to how you use each space.
Then we schedule the install. Our team tests motors before they go up, checks alignment during installation, and programs your controls so everything works the way you expect. If you’re integrating with a Lutron system or another smart home platform, we handle that setup too. You’ll get a walkthrough on how to use the app, set scenes, and adjust schedules. After that, we’re available if anything needs adjustment or if you want to add automation down the road.

Lutron electric shades use low-voltage motors that are nearly silent when they operate. You won’t hear them during a work call or while you’re watching TV. They’re also built with synchronized alignment technology, so if you have multiple shades on the same wall, they rise and lower in perfect unison. No gaps. No uneven light. Just clean, consistent movement.
In Kendale Lakes, that matters because your home’s curb appeal and interior design aren’t just about aesthetics—they’re about function in a climate that’s hard on materials. Lutron shades are designed to handle heat, humidity, and UV exposure without warping, fading, or failing. We install them using techniques specific to South Florida, so they’re not just mounted—they’re mounted to last.
You also get smart home integration. Control your shades through the Lutron app, voice commands via Alexa or Google, or integrate them into a broader Lutron lighting system. Set scenes for different times of day. Program them to close automatically when the sun hits a certain angle. Or just use a remote. The system adapts to how you want to use it, and you’re not locked into one method.
Cost depends on how many windows you’re covering, the size of those windows, and which fabrics you choose. A single motorized shade typically starts around $600 to $800 installed, but that can go up depending on width, fabric type, and whether you’re adding smart home integration.
For a full home in Kendale Lakes—let’s say 10 to 15 windows—you’re usually looking at $8,000 to $15,000. That includes the shades, motors, installation, and programming. If you’re integrating with an existing Lutron system or adding features like automated scheduling, that affects the total.
We don’t give quotes over the phone because every home is different. Window sizes vary. Sun exposure changes the fabric recommendation. And some rooms need blackout while others just need glare reduction. We’d rather measure, understand what you’re trying to solve, and give you an accurate number than guess.
Yes, but it depends on how you use them. Lutron shades block heat gain when the sun is directly hitting your windows. If you lower them during peak sun hours—usually mid-morning to late afternoon depending on which direction your windows face—you’re reducing how much heat enters the room. That means your AC doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain temperature.
The savings aren’t dramatic on a monthly basis, but they add up. Most homeowners in Kendale Lakes see a noticeable difference in how cool their rooms stay and a modest reduction in energy bills—usually 10% to 15% depending on the home’s insulation and how many windows are covered. The bigger benefit is comfort. Rooms don’t overheat as easily, and you’re not constantly adjusting the thermostat.
Automated shades make this easier because you can program them to lower at specific times without thinking about it. Set them to close at 10 a.m. and open at 5 p.m., and you’re managing heat gain consistently. That’s where the real value shows up—not just savings, but a home that stays comfortable without constant manual adjustments.
Most likely, yes. Lutron shades integrate with major smart home platforms including Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and Control4. If you already have a Lutron lighting system, the shades tie in seamlessly—you can control lights and shades together through the same app or wall controls.
If you’re using a different system, we’ll verify compatibility during the consultation. Lutron’s Caseta and RadioRA systems are designed to work with third-party platforms, so integration is usually straightforward. You can set up voice commands, create scenes that adjust multiple shades at once, or program schedules based on time of day or sunrise/sunset.
The setup happens during installation. We connect the shades to your network, pair them with your existing system, and test everything to make sure it responds correctly. If you want to add automation later—like having shades close automatically when you leave the house—we can program that too. The system is flexible, and you’re not locked into one way of controlling it.
For a typical home with 10 to 15 windows, installation usually takes one full day. Larger homes or more complex setups—like integrating with an existing Lutron system or adding custom scenes—might take a day and a half.
We’re not just mounting shades. We’re running low-voltage wiring if needed, programming the system, syncing motors so they operate in unison, and setting up your controls. Each shade gets tested before we leave to make sure it raises, lowers, and aligns correctly.
If you’re doing a phased install—starting with main living areas and adding bedrooms later—we can break it into multiple visits. That’s common for homeowners in Kendale Lakes who want to spread out the investment. Either way, we schedule around your availability and make sure the install doesn’t disrupt your day more than necessary.
Lutron shades come with a manufacturer warranty that covers motors and components. If something stops working, we troubleshoot it first—sometimes it’s a programming issue or a connectivity problem that we can fix remotely or during a quick service visit.
If it’s a motor failure or a hardware issue, we handle the warranty claim and coordinate the replacement. Lutron’s motors are built to last, but if one does fail, the process is straightforward. We don’t leave you waiting or dealing with customer service yourself.
We also offer regular inspection services for homeowners in Kendale Lakes who want to make sure everything stays in good working order. That includes checking alignment, testing motors, and updating programming if you’ve added new smart home devices. Most issues get caught and fixed before they become actual problems, which is why we recommend an annual check if you have a full-home system.
If you want quiet operation, perfect alignment, and a system that integrates with smart home technology, yes. Lutron shades use low-voltage motors that are significantly quieter than most motorized blinds. They also feature synchronized movement, so multiple shades on the same wall rise and lower together without gaps or misalignment.
Standard motorized blinds are cheaper upfront, but they’re often louder, less reliable, and harder to integrate with other systems. In Florida’s climate, cheaper motors tend to fail faster because they’re not designed to handle humidity and heat cycling. Lutron motors are built for longevity, and the installation methods we use account for South Florida’s conditions.
The other difference is control. Lutron systems let you create scenes, set schedules, and integrate with lighting and other smart home devices. Standard motorized blinds usually give you a remote and that’s it. If you’re just looking for basic up-and-down functionality, a cheaper option might work. But if you want a system that actually improves how your home functions and holds up over time, Lutron shades are the better investment for homes in Kendale Lakes.
