You’re adjusting blinds three times before noon. The living room’s a furnace by 2 PM. Your furniture’s fading despite your best efforts. And your AC bill keeps climbing because South Florida sun doesn’t take days off.
Lutron motorized window treatments handle all of it automatically. They close during the hottest part of the day to block heat before it builds up inside. They open when the sun shifts to let in natural light without the glare. You set it once, and the system runs itself.
The result? Rooms that stay comfortable without constant manual adjustments. Lower energy costs because your AC isn’t fighting solar heat gain all day. And furniture, flooring, and artwork that don’t bleach out after a year. You get back control without having to think about it every time the sun moves.
We’re based in Hallandale Beach and work throughout Palm Beach County, including Mangonia Park, FL. We’re an authorized Lutron shade dealer, which means we’ve completed the technical training to properly design, install, and service these systems.
We’ve been doing this for over 15 years through our sister companies in New York and Toronto. That experience matters in Florida, where installation methods have to account for humidity, heat, and storm prep. We’re not learning on your project.
Our focus is on getting the system right the first time so it works reliably for years. That means proper measurements, clean installation, and programming that actually fits how you use your space. You’re not our test case.
We start with an in-home consultation where we measure your windows, discuss how you use each room, and assess your lighting conditions. This isn’t a sales pitch. We’re figuring out which Lutron shades make sense for your specific setup and whether motorization adds real value or just cost.
Once you approve the design, we order your custom shades and schedule installation. Our team handles the mounting, motor setup, and system programming. If you’re integrating with existing smart home controls or adding Lutron lighting, we configure everything to work together through one interface.
After installation, we walk you through the controls—app, remotes, voice commands, whatever you’ll actually use. We program scenes for your daily routine: morning light, afternoon heat blocking, evening privacy. You can adjust these yourself later, but we set up the basics so the system works immediately. If something needs tweaking after you’ve lived with it a few days, we come back and dial it in.

Lutron electric shades use ultra-quiet motors that move banks of shades in perfect sync. You won’t hear them running, and they won’t drift out of alignment over time like cheaper systems. The wireless options work well for retrofits where you don’t want to run new wiring through finished walls.
In Mangonia Park, FL, where summer heat is relentless, the automated scheduling makes a measurable difference. Your shades close before the afternoon sun turns your home into a greenhouse. They adjust throughout the day based on sun position, not just a timer. This cuts your cooling load and keeps your HVAC from running nonstop.
The storm prep feature matters here too. One button closes every shade in the house when weather turns. No running room to room while the sky’s getting dark. And because Lutron systems integrate with whole-home automation, you can tie in lighting, locks, and security as part of the same setup. It’s not just window treatments—it’s a complete control system that grows with your needs.
Pricing starts around $599 for a standard motorized shade in common sizes and popular fabric colors. That’s for a single shade with a quality motor and wireless control. Larger windows, specialty fabrics, or full-room installations will run higher.
The total cost depends on how many windows you’re covering, whether you want individual control or whole-home integration, and if you’re adding Lutron lighting controls at the same time. A typical living room with three large windows might run $2,500 to $4,000 installed. A whole-home system with automation and scene programming can range from $8,000 to $20,000+ depending on home size and complexity.
We provide fixed pricing after the in-home consultation so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work starts. No surprises, no upselling during installation. The quote includes shades, motors, installation, programming, and a walkthrough of the controls.
Yes, but the savings depend on your current setup and how much sun exposure you’re dealing with. In Mangonia Park, FL, where cooling costs dominate your energy bill, automated shades that block afternoon sun can reduce your AC load by 15-25% during peak hours.
The system works by closing shades before heat builds up inside, not after your room is already hot. That’s the difference between preventing solar heat gain and trying to cool it down after the fact. Your HVAC runs less, cycles less frequently, and doesn’t fight a losing battle against direct sunlight heating up your floors and furniture.
Most clients see a noticeable drop in their summer electric bills within the first month. The exact savings vary based on your home’s insulation, window size, and how much glass faces west or south. But if you’re currently running your AC constantly to fight heat coming through windows, motorized shades pay for themselves over time through lower energy costs and reduced wear on your HVAC system.
Yes. Lutron systems integrate with the Lutron app, which gives you full control from your phone whether you’re home or away. You can open, close, or adjust individual shades or run preset scenes for different times of day. The app also lets you schedule automatic adjustments based on sunrise, sunset, or specific times.
Voice control works through Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. You can say “close the living room shades” or “set evening scene” and the system responds immediately. This is standard functionality, not an add-on or subscription service.
If you already have a smart home system like Control4 or Crestron, Lutron integrates with those too. The shades become part of your existing automation setup rather than requiring a separate app or control method. And if you’re not into apps or voice commands, traditional wall switches and remotes are included. You’re not forced to use technology you don’t want.
Lutron’s battery-powered shade systems keep working during power outages. The Sivoia QS Triathlon system uses rechargeable batteries that last months on a single charge under normal use. When the power goes out, your shades still operate normally through remotes, apps, or wall controls.
For storm preparation in Mangonia Park, FL, you can program a one-touch scene that closes all shades when severe weather approaches. This protects your windows from debris and gives you privacy and security during storms without manually closing each shade while conditions deteriorate outside.
The batteries recharge automatically when power returns, and the system alerts you through the app if battery levels get low. If you prefer hardwired shades, those obviously require power to operate, but most clients in Florida opt for battery systems specifically because of storm-related power outages. It’s one less thing to worry about when weather turns bad.
A single room typically takes 2-4 hours depending on the number of windows and complexity of the setup. A whole-home installation might take one to two full days. We’re not rushing through it—proper installation requires precise measurements, secure mounting, and careful programming.
The timeline also depends on whether we’re doing a retrofit in an existing home or installing during new construction. Retrofits with wireless shades go faster because there’s no wiring to run. New construction or renovation projects where we’re adding hardwired shades and integrating with whole-home automation take longer but result in a cleaner finished look.
We schedule installation after your custom shades arrive, which usually takes 2-3 weeks from order. We’ll give you a specific installation window when we place the order so you can plan accordingly. And we don’t leave until everything’s working correctly and you’re comfortable using the controls. You’re not figuring it out on your own after we drive away.
Lutron shades cost more upfront than basic motorized options you’ll find at big box stores, but the difference shows up in reliability and performance. Lutron motors are quieter, more precise, and built to run daily for 10-15 years without issues. Cheaper systems often fail within 2-3 years, especially in Florida’s heat and humidity.
The integration capability matters too. Lutron systems work seamlessly with professional-grade smart home controls and can be expanded over time. Budget motorized shades usually operate through proprietary apps that don’t talk to other systems and get abandoned when the manufacturer moves on to the next product generation.
You’re also getting professional installation and support from an authorized dealer who’s trained on these specific systems. When something needs adjustment or service, we handle it. With DIY or budget options, you’re troubleshooting on your own or dealing with offshore customer service that can’t send anyone to your home. If you’re planning to stay in your home and want a system that works reliably without constant babysitting, Lutron is worth the difference.
