Your AC runs constantly because heat pours through your windows. Your furniture fades. Your privacy depends on whether you remember to close the blinds. And manual shades never align right across multiple windows.
Lutron window shades solve all of that. They automatically adjust throughout the day to block solar heat gain when it’s strongest, which directly cuts your cooling costs. The motorized operation is whisper-quiet, and every shade aligns perfectly every time. You can control them from your phone, set schedules, or integrate them with your existing smart home system.
The result? A cooler home, lower energy bills, protected furnishings, and the kind of effortless convenience that makes you wonder why you waited so long.
We’re a Lutron-authorized dealer serving Ojus and the surrounding Miami-Dade area. We’re not a franchise or a big-box retailer. We’re a local design group that specializes in high-end window treatments and home automation for residential and commercial clients.
Our team has completed Lutron’s certification training, which means we know how to design, install, and support these systems properly. We work with homeowners in Ojus who want smart solutions that actually work in Florida’s climate—intense sun, humidity, and coastal conditions included.
You’re not getting a salesperson. You’re getting someone who understands how automated shading integrates with your home and your lifestyle.
We start with a consultation at your home in Ojus. We’ll look at your windows, discuss how you use each room, and talk about what you want to control—light, heat, privacy, or all three. This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a technical conversation about what will actually work for your space.
From there, we design a custom shading solution. That includes selecting the right Lutron system (wired or wireless), choosing fabrics that match your décor and performance needs, and mapping out integration with any existing smart home setup you have. You’ll see fabric samples, get a clear quote, and understand exactly what you’re getting.
Installation is handled by our trained team. We mount the shades, program the system, and walk you through how to use it—whether that’s wall keypads, remotes, or the Lutron app. If you want scenes like “Morning Open” or “Summer Cool” that adjust multiple shades at once, we set those up too. You’ll have our contact info for any questions or support after we’re done.

Every Lutron shading system we install includes the motorized shades themselves, which come in a wide range of fabric options—sheer, light-filtering, room-darkening, or blackout. You pick the color, texture, and opacity based on how much light control and privacy you need in each room.
The system includes your choice of control options: wall-mounted keypads, handheld remotes, smartphone app control, or voice integration with systems like Alexa or Google Home. If you already have Lutron lighting, we integrate your shades so everything works together through one interface.
For Ojus homeowners dealing with Florida’s heat, we often recommend solar shades or automated scheduling. Solar shades block UV rays and heat while maintaining your view. Automated schedules lower shades during peak sun hours, which keeps your home cooler without you thinking about it. That’s especially useful if you’re away during the day or travel frequently.
We also include programming for custom scenes. Want all your shades to close at sunset? Or open gradually in the morning? We build that into the system. And because we’re local, you’re not calling a 1-800 number if something needs adjustment.
Cost depends on how many windows you’re covering, the size of each window, the fabric you choose, and whether you go with a wired or wireless system. Wireless battery-powered shades are often easier to install in existing homes because there’s no rewiring involved, but wired systems offer certain performance advantages for whole-home setups.
As a rough guide, you’re looking at a few hundred dollars per window for a basic motorized shade, and costs go up from there depending on customization and integration. Larger windows, specialty shapes, or blackout fabrics will cost more. Whole-home systems with full smart home integration are a bigger investment, but they also deliver the most convenience and energy savings.
We don’t do estimates over the phone because every home is different. We’ll come to your home in Ojus, measure your windows, and give you a detailed quote based on what you actually need—not a generic price range.
Yes. Lutron shades integrate with most major smart home platforms, including Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and Control4. If you already have Lutron lighting controls like Caséta or RadioRA, your shades will integrate directly into that system so you can control everything from one app or keypad.
Integration means you can create scenes that adjust both lighting and shading at the same time. For example, a “Movie” scene could dim your lights and lower your shades with one button press. Or a “Good Morning” scene could gradually open your shades and turn on your kitchen lights.
If you don’t have a smart home system yet, Lutron shades work perfectly fine on their own. You can control them with a remote, wall keypad, or the Lutron app. And if you decide to add smart lighting or other automation later, everything connects easily because Lutron’s ecosystem is designed to work together.
Lutron’s battery-powered shades have some of the longest battery life in the industry. Depending on how often the shades go up and down, you’re typically looking at 3 to 5 years before you need to replace the batteries. That’s significantly longer than most other motorized shade systems.
Battery life depends on usage. If your shades are programmed to adjust multiple times a day—like opening in the morning, closing during peak sun, and opening again in the evening—you’ll drain the battery faster than if they only move once or twice a day. Larger, heavier shades also use more power per cycle.
When the battery does run low, the system will alert you through the app or keypad, so you’re not caught off guard. Replacing the battery is straightforward, and we can walk you through it or handle it for you if you prefer. The convenience of wireless installation usually outweighs the minor hassle of occasional battery changes, especially in homes where running new wiring isn’t practical.
Yes, and the impact is noticeable in Florida because of how intense the sun is. When sunlight streams through your windows, it heats up your home, which forces your AC to work harder. Automated shades block that solar heat gain before it becomes a problem, which reduces the load on your cooling system.
The key is automation. If your shades lower during the hottest part of the day—typically between 10 AM and 4 PM—you’re blocking heat when it matters most. You can program this to happen automatically, so you don’t have to think about it. Some Ojus homeowners also use solar shades, which block heat and UV rays while still letting you see outside.
How much you save depends on how many windows you have, which direction they face, and how much sun exposure they get. South and west-facing windows are the biggest culprits. But it’s not uncommon to see a 10-15% reduction in cooling costs during the summer months, especially if you’re shading large windows or sliding glass doors. That adds up over time, and it also extends the life of your AC unit because it’s not running as hard.
Wired systems connect directly to your home’s electrical system, which means they never need battery changes and they can handle larger or heavier window treatments more easily. They’re often the better choice for new construction or major renovations where running wiring is straightforward. Wired systems also tend to offer faster response times and more robust integration with whole-home automation setups.
Wireless systems run on batteries and communicate via radio frequency, which makes them much easier to install in existing homes. There’s no need to cut into walls or run new wiring, so installation is faster and less invasive. Battery life is long—typically 3 to 5 years—and the system alerts you when it’s time to replace them. Wireless is a great option for retrofits or if you’re only automating a few key windows.
Both systems offer the same level of control and integration with Lutron’s app, keypads, and smart home platforms. The main difference is power source and installation complexity. During our consultation, we’ll recommend which option makes the most sense for your home in Ojus based on your windows, your budget, and whether you’re planning any other renovations.
Yes. As long as your Lutron system is connected to your home’s Wi-Fi, you can control your shades from anywhere using the Lutron app on your phone. That means you can open or close shades while you’re at work, on vacation, or just out running errands.
Remote access is useful for a few reasons. If you forgot to close your shades and you’re worried about heat buildup or privacy, you can handle it from your phone. If you’re traveling, you can adjust your shades to make it look like someone’s home, which is a simple but effective security measure. And if the weather changes suddenly—like a surprise storm rolling in—you can close your shades to protect your furniture and flooring from sun or rain exposure.
The app also lets you check the status of your shades, adjust schedules, and modify scenes without needing to be in front of a keypad. It’s the same level of control you’d have if you were standing in your living room, just accessible from wherever you are.
