High ceilings look great until you’re wrestling with a pull cord in July heat. Oversized windows flood your home with light and just as much unwanted warmth.
Lutron electric shades handle what manual window treatments can’t. They lower automatically when the sun hits hardest, keeping your AC from working overtime. They rise when you want natural light. They close at sunset for instant privacy without you thinking about it.
No cords means safer spaces for kids and pets. No climbing on furniture to reach high windows. No forgetting to close shades before you leave for work. Just a home that adjusts to your schedule, your comfort, and Florida’s unpredictable weather without requiring constant attention from you.
We’re the South Florida extension of what started in New York and Toronto. Same team, same standards, same focus on getting window treatments and home automation right the first time.
We’re based in Hallandale Beach and work throughout Lake Belvedere Estates and the surrounding areas. We know what Florida weather does to homes—the heat gain through windows, the humidity, the need for storm prep that doesn’t require a full day of manual labor.
We handle the full process: consultation, custom ordering, professional installation, and integration with whatever smart home system you’re running. We only work with brands that hold up in South Florida conditions, and Lutron is at the top of that list.
We start with a consultation at your home. We measure your windows, talk through how you use each room, and figure out what level of automation makes sense for your lifestyle and budget.
From there, we walk you through fabric options—light filtering if you want soft daylight, blackout if you need complete darkness for bedrooms or media rooms, solar shades if you want to keep heat out while maintaining your view. We also discuss control options: app-based, voice command through Alexa or Google, scheduled automation, or remote control.
Once you approve the plan, we place the custom order with Lutron. Installation is handled by our team, and we make sure everything integrates properly with your existing smart home setup if you have one. We test every shade, program your scenes and schedules, and show you exactly how to control everything before we leave.

Lutron shades aren’t just motorized versions of what you already have. They’re built to last, engineered for quiet operation, and designed to integrate with the smart home systems Lake Belvedere Estates homeowners are already investing in.
You get precision control over light and privacy in every room. You get fabrics designed to block heat without blocking your view. You get a system that can be programmed to respond to time of day, temperature, or whether you’re home or away.
For families in Lake Belvedere Estates, where the median home value sits around $390,000, this isn’t just about convenience. It’s about protecting your investment from UV damage, reducing energy costs in a climate where AC runs most of the year, and adding a layer of safety with cordless operation. When hurricane season hits, you can lower every shade in your home from your phone—even if you’re not there.
Cost depends on the number of windows, fabric choice, and level of automation you want. A single motorized shade typically starts around $600-$800 installed, but that varies based on window size and fabric type.
For a full home with 10-15 windows, you’re generally looking at $8,000-$15,000. That includes custom fabrication, professional installation, and integration with your smart home system. Blackout fabrics and larger windows push costs higher. Solar shades that block heat while keeping views tend to fall in the mid-range.
We don’t give quotes over the phone because every home is different. We’d rather measure your actual windows, understand what you’re trying to solve, and give you an accurate number based on your specific setup.
Yes, but the savings depend on how much sun exposure your windows get and how you program the shades. Studies show that up to 76% of heat enters your home through windows during hot months, and motorized shades can reduce that significantly when used correctly.
If you program your Lutron shades to lower during peak sun hours—typically 11 AM to 4 PM in South Florida—you’re blocking heat before it forces your AC to work harder. In winter, you can schedule them to open during the day to capture warmth and close at night to keep it in.
Most homeowners in Lake Belvedere Estates see a noticeable drop in cooling costs during summer months, especially on west-facing windows. The exact savings vary, but reducing heat gain by even 30-40% can translate to hundreds of dollars annually depending on your home size and current energy usage.
Lutron integrates with all three, plus most major smart home platforms. You can control your shades with voice commands, through the Lutron app, or by adding them to scenes and routines you’ve already set up.
For example, you can create a “Good Morning” routine where your shades open, lights turn on, and your thermostat adjusts—all triggered by one command or a set time. Same for “Leaving Home” or “Movie Time” scenes.
The integration is native, not through a third-party workaround, which means it’s reliable and doesn’t require constant troubleshooting. If you’re already running a smart home setup in Lake Belvedere Estates, Lutron shades fit right in without creating compatibility headaches.
Lutron shades aren’t hurricane shutters, so they won’t protect your windows from impact. But they do add a layer of convenience and safety when storms approach.
You can lower all your shades remotely before a storm hits, even if you’ve already evacuated. This protects your furniture and flooring from UV exposure if you’re gone for an extended period, and it adds privacy if you’re away from home during storm prep.
The bigger advantage is everyday storm readiness. Florida weather changes fast, and being able to close shades from your phone—whether you’re at work or upstairs—means you’re not scrambling when dark clouds roll in. The motors are designed to handle Florida humidity and temperature swings, so they’re built for long-term use in this climate.
Lutron costs more because the motors are quieter, the systems are more reliable, and the integration with smart home platforms actually works without constant troubleshooting. Cheaper motorized shades often use loud motors, require frequent battery changes, or lose connection with your Wi-Fi.
Lutron’s motors are designed for daily use over decades, not occasional operation. The fabric options are higher quality, with better heat-blocking and light-filtering performance. And when something does need service, Lutron has an actual support network and warranty coverage.
You’re also paying for integration that doesn’t require workarounds. Cheaper systems might claim to work with Alexa or Google, but they often need third-party hubs or apps that create lag and connection issues. Lutron is native integration, which means it works the way you expect it to without extra steps.
Installation for a full home typically takes one day, sometimes two if you have a large number of windows or complex smart home integration. Single rooms can often be done in a few hours.
The timeline from consultation to installation is usually 3-4 weeks. That includes the time it takes to custom-fabricate your shades to exact window measurements and your chosen fabric. Rush orders can sometimes be accommodated, but custom work takes time to get right.
We schedule installation when you’re available to be home, and we handle all the programming and testing before we leave. You won’t need to figure out how to connect anything or troubleshoot settings—we make sure everything works and show you how to use it before we’re done.
