You’re tired of manually adjusting shades throughout the day as the sun moves across your Little Harbor home. Your furniture’s fading. Your AC bill keeps climbing. And when you’re away, your windows broadcast that nobody’s home.
Lutron electric shades solve this without adding another task to your day. They adjust automatically based on time, temperature, or sun position. Your furniture stays protected from UV damage. Your cooling costs drop because you’re not fighting Florida heat gain through bare windows all afternoon.
Control everything from your phone, voice commands, or let the system handle it. When you’re traveling, your shades open and close on schedule so your home looks occupied. You get convenience, energy savings, and security without thinking about it.
We bring decades of experience from our sister companies in NYC and Toronto to Little Harbor. We’re based in Hallandale Beach, so we understand exactly what Florida’s climate does to homes and why automated window treatments aren’t just luxury here—they’re practical.
We only install name-brand, top-tier products. No substitutes, no budget alternatives that fail in two years. When you work with us, you’re getting Lutron window treatments installed by people who’ve done thousands of these systems and know how to integrate them with your home’s existing automation.
You’ll work with the same team from consultation through installation. We handle everything—measuring, programming, integration with your smart home system, and making sure it all works the way you actually live.
You schedule a consultation, and we come to your Little Harbor home to see your windows, discuss how you use each room, and understand what you want the system to do. We’re not there to sell you more than you need—we’re figuring out the right solution.
We measure everything precisely because motorized systems require exact specifications. We’ll show you fabric options, discuss light filtering vs blackout based on each room’s purpose, and explain how the Lutron shades integrate with systems you already have or plan to add.
Once you approve the proposal, we order your custom shades. Installation typically takes a day, depending on how many windows we’re covering. We mount the shades, program them to your preferences, connect everything to your control system, and walk you through operating everything before we leave.
You’ll have direct access to our team if you need adjustments or have questions. Most clients request small programming tweaks in the first week as they see how the system works with their daily routine—that’s normal and included.
Ready to get started?
Your Lutron shades come with multiple control options—wall switches, remote controls, smartphone app, voice commands through Alexa or Google, or full automation based on schedules and sensors. You choose how you want to interact with them.
In Little Harbor’s coastal environment, we install systems designed for humidity and temperature swings. The motors are quiet, reliable, and backed by Lutron’s warranty. Fabric options range from sheer for light filtering and view preservation to blackout for bedrooms and media rooms.
Integration with your existing smart home system is straightforward. If you have lighting controls, thermostats, or security systems, we can tie everything together so your shades work in coordination with the rest of your home. When your security system arms, your shades can close automatically. When your alarm goes off in the morning, your bedroom shades can open gradually.
We also handle the programming details most homeowners don’t want to deal with—setting scenes, creating schedules, and adjusting sensitivity so your shades respond appropriately to changing conditions without constant manual intervention.
Pricing depends on the number of windows, size, fabric selection, and how complex your integration needs are. Most Little Harbor homes invest between $800 and $1,500 per window for quality motorized Lutron window shades, including installation and programming.
That’s not cheap, and we won’t pretend it is. But you’re paying for motors that last 10-15 years, fabrics that hold up in Florida’s UV environment, and a control system that actually works reliably. Cheaper motorized options exist, but they fail more often and usually can’t integrate with quality smart home systems.
If you’re covering 10-15 windows, expect a project in the $10,000-$20,000 range. Larger homes with more windows or specialty shapes cost more. We provide detailed quotes after seeing your space because guessing based on window count alone leads to inaccurate expectations.
Yes, but the savings depend on how you currently manage your windows and what direction they face. South and west-facing windows in Little Harbor get hammered by afternoon sun, and if your shades are open during peak heat, your AC is working overtime.
Automated shades programmed to close during the hottest part of the day can reduce cooling costs by 15-25% according to Department of Energy studies. That might translate to $30-$80 per month in summer for a typical Little Harbor home, depending on your current bill and how many windows we’re covering.
The system pays for itself over time, but that’s not why most people buy it. The real value is convenience and protecting your furniture from fading. The energy savings are a bonus that makes the investment easier to justify.
Lutron shades have battery backup options, so they’ll still operate during power outages if you choose that upgrade. Without backup batteries, they simply stay in whatever position they were in when power cut out—they won’t drop or fly open.
If a motor fails (rare, but it happens), that individual shade stops working while the rest of your system continues normally. Lutron’s warranty covers motor replacements, and we handle the service call. Most issues we see aren’t motor failures—they’re programming questions or connectivity problems that we can troubleshoot remotely.
You can also operate the shades manually in an emergency. There’s a manual override on each motor, though you’ll need a step ladder for most installations. We show you how during installation, but most people never need to use it.
Installation for a typical Little Harbor home with 10-15 windows takes one full day. Larger projects might require two days. We’re mounting brackets and running low-voltage wiring, which means some drilling, but we’re not tearing into walls or doing major construction.
Mounting brackets go into your window frame or the wall above it, depending on your window type and the look you want. We patch and touch up any holes from the installation, though you might want to repaint if you’re particular about perfectly matching existing paint.
If you’re integrating with a whole-home automation system, there might be additional wiring work depending on your current setup. We coordinate that ahead of time so you know exactly what to expect. Most homes don’t require any significant electrical work beyond what we handle during the installation.
Lutron integrates with virtually every major smart home platform—Control4, Crestron, Savant, and simpler systems like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. If you already have a system, we can almost certainly connect your shades to it.
The integration process varies based on what you’re running. Some systems talk to Lutron directly through built-in protocols. Others require a Lutron hub that acts as a bridge. We handle the technical setup regardless of which path your system requires.
If you don’t have a smart home system yet, Lutron shades work perfectly fine as a standalone system controlled by their app, remotes, and wall switches. You can add broader home automation later, and your shades will integrate when you’re ready. You’re not locked into buying everything at once.
Yes, we service everything we install. If you need programming adjustments, motor replacements, or help troubleshooting connectivity issues, you call us directly. We don’t hand you off to a national call center or tell you to contact the manufacturer.
Most service calls are for programming tweaks or adding new automation scenes as your needs change. Actual hardware failures are uncommon with Lutron products, but when they happen, we handle the warranty claim and replacement installation. You’re not navigating that process alone.
We also offer annual maintenance checks for clients who want someone to verify everything’s working correctly, update software, and make sure your system is optimized. It’s optional, not required, but some Little Harbor homeowners prefer having that regular touchpoint, especially on larger installations.
