Your AC runs constantly in The Hammocks. That’s just reality when you’re dealing with Florida heat nine months a year.
Lutron smart shades change that equation. They adjust throughout the day based on sun position, blocking heat before it enters your home. You’re not manually closing blinds room by room or watching your energy bill climb every summer.
The system learns your preferences and handles everything automatically. Morning light comes in when you want it. Afternoon heat stays out when you need it. Your furniture, flooring, and artwork don’t fade from constant UV exposure.
You also get whisper-quiet motors that won’t interrupt conversations or wake anyone up. Banks of shades move in perfect sync, so your home looks polished from the outside. And because these are Lutron systems, they integrate with your existing smart home setup or work standalone through simple app control.
We’re based in Hallandale Beach and work throughout Miami-Dade County, including The Hammocks. We’re a Lutron authorized dealer, which means we’ve completed their training and certification to properly design, sell, and install these systems.
We’re not a franchise. We’re a comprehensive design company that handles everything from window treatments to full remodeling projects. That matters because we understand how motorized window treatments fit into your broader home design and automation goals.
The Hammocks has specific challenges—intense afternoon sun, humidity that tests every installation, and homeowners who expect premium results. We use installation methods and materials chosen specifically for South Florida conditions, not generic approaches that work elsewhere but fail here.
We start with an in-home consultation where we measure your windows and discuss what you’re trying to accomplish. Some homeowners want full smart home integration with lighting scenes. Others just want reliable motorized shades that handle the basics.
You’ll see fabric samples and shade styles during this visit. Lutron offers roller shades, honeycomb designs, and Palladiom options with different opacity levels. We’ll explain what works best for your specific sun exposure and privacy needs.
Once you approve the design, we order your custom shades. Installation typically happens within a few weeks depending on your selections. Most homes take one to two days for complete installation.
If you’re adding these to an existing home, we use Lutron’s wireless systems with industry-leading battery life. No fishing wires through walls. If you’re building new or doing a major renovation, we can integrate hardwired solutions that tie into your electrical system.
After installation, we program your scenes and train you on the controls. You’ll know how to adjust settings through the app, set schedules, and make changes as your needs evolve.

Every Lutron installation includes custom-measured shades built for your exact window dimensions. You’re not working with off-the-shelf products that almost fit.
The motors are ultra-quiet and designed for decades of daily use. Lutron’s synchronized alignment technology means multiple shades move together perfectly, which matters when you have large windows or multiple treatments in the same room.
You get app control through Lutron’s interface, which connects to HomeWorks or RadioRA 3 systems if you want full home automation. Voice control through Alexa or Google is standard. Keypads and remotes are available if you prefer physical controls.
In The Hammocks, most homeowners prioritize energy savings and UV protection. Your system can automatically close shades during peak afternoon heat, reducing the load on your AC system. Florida Power & Light estimates that effective window treatments can reduce cooling costs by up to 15% in South Florida homes.
We also handle commercial installations for offices, restaurants, and hospitality properties throughout the area. The same technology that works in your home scales to conference rooms, hotel lobbies, and classroom environments where glare control and energy management matter.
Lutron systems cost more upfront than basic motorized options you’ll find at big box stores. Expect to invest several hundred dollars per window for quality Lutron shades with professional installation.
That price includes motors that actually last, fabrics that hold up in Florida’s climate, and integration capabilities that cheaper systems can’t match. You’re also paying for synchronized operation across multiple windows and whisper-quiet performance.
The energy savings add up over time. Homeowners in The Hammocks typically see noticeable reductions in cooling costs during summer months when shades are programmed to block afternoon heat. The UV protection also prevents thousands of dollars in furniture and flooring damage over the years.
Yes. Lutron’s wireless battery-powered systems are designed specifically for retrofit installations.
We mount the shades to your window frames or walls without running new electrical wiring. The battery packs are hidden inside the shade housing and typically last 3-5 years depending on usage before needing replacement.
You won’t see exposed wires or need to patch drywall. The installation is clean and usually completed in one day for most homes. If you’re doing a renovation or new construction, we can install hardwired versions that connect to your electrical system for permanent power.
Battery-powered Lutron shades continue working during power outages since they don’t rely on your home’s electrical system. You can still raise and lower them manually using the remote or wall controls.
If your internet goes down, local control through remotes and keypads still functions. You lose app-based control and voice commands temporarily, but the shades themselves remain operational.
Scheduled automation runs locally on the Lutron hub, not through cloud services. That means your programmed scenes continue working even without internet connectivity. This is a major advantage over cheaper smart home products that become useless when WiFi drops.
Roller shades are a single layer of fabric that rolls up into a cassette at the top of your window. They’re sleek, modern, and available in various opacities from sheer to blackout. Most homeowners in The Hammocks choose roller shades for living areas and bedrooms.
Honeycomb shades have a cellular structure that traps air, providing better insulation. They’re more energy efficient but have a different aesthetic. The honeycomb design adds texture and depth, which some people prefer for traditional or transitional interiors.
Both styles are available with Lutron motorization and smart controls. Your choice depends on your design preferences and how much insulation value matters to you. In South Florida’s climate, the energy difference is less dramatic than in northern states, so most decisions come down to appearance and light control needs.
Most residential installations in The Hammocks take one to two days depending on the number of windows and complexity of the system.
A straightforward project with 8-10 windows and basic automation usually wraps up in a single day. Larger homes with 20+ windows, multiple zones, and full smart home integration might require two days.
The timeline also depends on whether we’re installing wireless battery-powered shades or hardwired systems. Wireless installations move faster since we’re not running electrical connections. After the physical installation, we spend time programming your scenes and training you on the controls so you’re comfortable using the system.
Lutron integrates with most major smart home platforms including HomeWorks, RadioRA 3, Control4, Crestron, and Savant. You can also connect to Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and other voice control systems.
The level of integration depends on what you already have installed. If you’re starting from scratch, we typically recommend Lutron’s own RadioRA 3 system for residential applications. It’s designed to work seamlessly with their shades and offers reliable performance.
If you already have a different automation system, we’ll coordinate with your existing setup to ensure everything communicates properly. Lutron is known for playing well with other platforms, which is one reason it’s the preferred choice for serious home automation projects in South Florida.
