Your AC runs less. That’s the first thing most Broward Highlands homeowners notice after we install Hunter Douglas honeycomb shades—their cooling bills drop because those cellular pockets trap air and block heat before it gets inside.
You also get rooms that stay dark when you want them dark. Early Florida sunrises don’t wake you up anymore. Media rooms actually feel like theaters. And your furniture stops fading from UV exposure because these shades block up to 99% of harmful rays.
Then there’s the control part. With PowerView automation, you set schedules from your phone or voice assistant. Shades go up at sunrise, down during peak heat, back up before you get home. You’re not adjusting anything manually, and your home stays comfortable without you thinking about it.
Hunter Douglas backs their products with a lifetime guarantee. That’s not marketing language—it means if something breaks under normal use, they handle it. You’re not replacing shades every few years or dealing with warranty runarounds when parts fail.
We handle window treatments and home automation for residential and commercial clients across Broward County. We’re based in Hallandale Beach and work throughout Broward Highlands, where homes deal with intense sun, humidity, and the need for both energy efficiency and style.
We’re not a franchise selling multiple brands with varying quality. We specialize in Hunter Douglas because their products hold up in Florida’s climate and their warranty actually means something when you need it. Our technicians are factory-trained on installation and repair, so motorized systems get wired correctly and programmed to your preferences before we leave.
Most of our work comes from repeat clients or referrals. That happens because we show up when we say we will, install everything correctly the first time, and teach you how to use every feature before we’re done.
You schedule a consultation, and we come to your home in Broward Highlands to measure your windows and talk through what you need. We’re looking at sun exposure, room usage, existing smart home setup if you have one, and whether you want manual or motorized operation.
We show you fabric samples and explain the differences—which materials handle humidity better, which provide more insulation, which offer better light filtering versus room darkening. You pick what works for your space and budget, and we order everything custom-made to your exact window dimensions.
Once your Hunter Douglas shades arrive, we schedule installation. Our technicians mount the brackets, hang the shades, and if you’re going motorized, we handle all the wiring and programming. For PowerView automation, we connect everything to your network and show you how to control it from your phone or voice assistant.
Before we leave, we test every shade, program any schedules you want, and walk you through the controls. You’re not figuring this out on your own after we’re gone. We make sure you know how to operate, adjust, and troubleshoot anything before we consider the job complete.

Hunter Douglas honeycomb shades use a cellular structure that traps air in pockets between your window and your room. That air acts as insulation, blocking heat transfer in both directions. In Broward Highlands, where your AC runs most of the year, that means less heat coming in during the day and lower energy bills every month.
The fabrics are designed for Florida’s climate. They resist moisture, don’t break down from humidity, and maintain their shape even with daily use. You’re not dealing with sagging, warping, or fabric degradation that happens with cheaper materials in high-humidity environments.
Motorization isn’t just convenience—it’s about maximizing energy savings. PowerView automation adjusts your shades based on time of day and sun position, so you’re blocking heat during peak hours without manually lowering shades in every room. You can control everything from one app, set schedules, or use voice commands through Alexa or Google Assistant.
Child safety is built into every option. Cordless lifts, motorized systems, and retractable cords eliminate the hazards that come with traditional corded blinds. If you have kids or pets, that’s not a small detail—it’s a major reason to choose Hunter Douglas over budget alternatives.
You also qualify for federal tax credits on select energy-efficient models through December 2025. That’s up to $1,200 back on Duette and Applause honeycomb shades, which helps offset the upfront cost while you’re already saving on cooling.
Homeowners in Broward Highlands typically see 15-20% reductions in cooling costs after we install Hunter Douglas cellular shades. That percentage depends on your window size, sun exposure, and how consistently you use the shades during peak heat hours.
The savings come from blocking heat before it enters your home. Up to 50% of your cooling energy gets lost through windows, and cellular shades create an insulating barrier that reduces that transfer. The honeycomb structure traps air in pockets, which slows heat movement in both directions.
If you add PowerView automation, your savings increase because the shades adjust automatically based on sun position. You’re not relying on remembering to lower them during the hottest part of the day. The system does it for you, and your AC doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain temperature.
Manual shades use a cordless lift system or a wand control. You raise and lower them by hand, which works fine if you have a few windows and don’t mind adjusting them throughout the day.
Motorized shades operate with a remote, app, or voice assistant. You control multiple shades at once, set schedules, and automate adjustments based on time or sun position. If you have large windows, high windows, or more than a few shades in your home, motorization makes daily use significantly easier.
PowerView automation is Hunter Douglas’s smart system. It connects to your home network and integrates with Alexa, Google Assistant, and other smart home platforms. You can create scenes—like “morning,” which raises bedroom shades and lowers kitchen shades—or set schedules so your shades adjust automatically when you’re not home. For Broward Highlands homes with intense sun exposure, automation maximizes energy savings without requiring you to manually adjust shades multiple times per day.
Yes, because they’re designed for it. Hunter Douglas fabrics resist moisture and don’t break down from humidity exposure the way cheaper materials do. You won’t see warping, sagging, or fabric degradation that happens with budget blinds in high-humidity climates.
The cellular structure maintains its shape even with daily use. The honeycomb pockets don’t collapse or lose their insulating properties over time. That’s important in Broward Highlands, where your shades are working year-round to block heat and UV rays.
Hunter Douglas also backs their products with a lifetime guarantee. If something fails under normal use—mechanical issues, fabric problems, structural defects—they handle it. That warranty matters more in Florida than in drier climates because humidity accelerates wear on lower-quality window treatments. You’re not replacing these shades in five years or dealing with parts that aren’t available anymore.
Yes. PowerView automation connects to most major smart home platforms, including Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and home automation systems like Control4 or Crestron. If you already have smart lighting, thermostats, or security systems, your Hunter Douglas shades integrate into that ecosystem.
You control everything from one app or through voice commands. You can also create automation routines—like having your shades lower automatically when your thermostat reaches a certain temperature, or raising them when your security system disarms in the morning.
We handle the setup during installation. Our technicians connect your shades to your network, program any scenes or schedules you want, and make sure everything communicates correctly with your existing devices. You’re not troubleshooting connectivity issues or reading through setup manuals on your own.
Installation time depends on how many windows you’re covering and whether you’re going motorized. For a typical Broward Highlands home with 8-12 windows and manual shades, we’re usually done in 3-4 hours.
Motorized installations take longer because we’re running wiring, programming the system, and connecting everything to your network. For a whole-home motorized setup with PowerView automation, expect a full day. We’re not rushing through it—we’re making sure every shade operates correctly, programming schedules, and teaching you how to use the system.
We schedule installation after your custom shades arrive from Hunter Douglas, which typically takes 3-4 weeks from order. We give you a specific installation date and time window, and we show up when we say we will. You’re not waiting around all day or dealing with last-minute reschedules.
Yes, and that’s one of the main reasons people choose them. Hunter Douglas offers cordless manual systems, motorized operation, and retractable lift cords with tensioners. There are no dangling cords across the back of the shades, which eliminates the strangulation hazard that comes with traditional corded blinds.
Motorized shades are the safest option because there are no cords at all. You operate them with a remote, app, or voice command. For families with young kids or pets in Broward Highlands, that removes the risk entirely while also making daily use easier.
If you prefer manual operation, cordless lift systems work through a simple push-up, pull-down motion. There’s nothing to wrap around a child’s neck or get tangled in. Hunter Douglas designs every operating system with child safety standards in mind, so you’re not choosing between safety and functionality.
