Hear from Our Customers
Your shades stop warping after three months. The motorization still works two years in. You’re not calling someone back to fix what should’ve been done correctly the first time.
That’s what happens when a Hunter Douglas shades dealer actually understands South Florida. The fabrics hold up because they’re rated for this climate. The hardware doesn’t corrode because it’s installed with moisture in mind. Your energy bills drop because cellular shades are doing what they’re supposed to do—creating an insulating barrier between your windows and the 95-degree heat outside.
You also get rooms that stay private when you want them dark and bright when you don’t. Motorized options mean you’re not climbing on furniture to adjust the shades on your second-story windows. And if something ever does go wrong, you’re working with a local team that’s been doing this for over 20 years across multiple markets—not a call center three states away.
We operate out of Hallandale Beach and Sunny Isles Beach, serving homeowners and commercial clients throughout Ojus, FL and the surrounding Miami-Dade area. We’ve been in the window treatment business for over two decades through our sister companies in New York City and Toronto—places where weather also tries to destroy your investment.
We’re an authorized Hunter Douglas dealer, which means you get the full product line, the real warranties, and access to options most retailers don’t carry. We also handle the integration side—motorization, home automation, custom sizing for architectural windows that don’t fit standard measurements.
You’re not working with a franchise or a subcontractor network. You’re working with a design team that does this full-time and has showrooms you can actually visit.
You start with a consultation, either at one of our showrooms or at your property in Ojus, FL. We measure your windows, talk through what you’re trying to solve—light control, privacy, energy efficiency, motorization—and show you samples of the actual fabrics and materials. No pressure, no upselling to products you don’t need.
Once you pick your Hunter Douglas shades, we place the order and schedule installation around your timeline. Our team handles the mounting, leveling, and motorization setup if that’s part of the plan. For smart home integration, we make sure your shades connect properly to your existing system—Alexa, Google, Control4, whatever you’re running.
After install, we walk you through operation and maintenance. If you ever have issues, you call us directly. We’re local, we’re licensed, and we’ve been doing this long enough to know what actually breaks and how to prevent it in the first place.

Hunter Douglas makes dozens of shade styles. Not all of them make sense for Ojus, FL. Cellular shades work well here because they insulate against heat and help with energy costs. Roller shades hold up in high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Silhouettes and Pirouettes give you light control without sacrificing privacy.
For motorization, you can go battery-powered or hardwired depending on your setup. PowerView automation lets you schedule your shades to close during peak heat hours, which actually makes a difference on your cooling bills. We also install exterior solar shades for patios and lanais—those take the brunt of the sun before it even hits your windows.
Commercial clients—hotels, schools, office buildings—usually go with Roller Shades or Luminettes for large window walls. We’ve outfitted properties throughout Miami-Dade and Broward County with Hunter Douglas products that handle daily use and Florida’s UV exposure without fading or mechanical failure. If you’re managing a property, we can work with your maintenance schedule and building requirements.
If they’re installed correctly and you’re using the right product for the room, you’re looking at 10 to 15 years minimum. Hunter Douglas engineers their fabrics and components to handle moisture and UV exposure, but installation matters just as much as the product itself.
The failures we see aren’t usually the shades—they’re the mounting, the leveling, or using an indoor-rated product in a space that gets direct moisture. For example, faux wood blinds hold up better than real wood in Florida bathrooms. Cellular shades with moisture-resistant fabrics work in kitchens where steam is a factor.
We also recommend motorization for shades in hard-to-reach spots. Manual cords and chains get pulled incorrectly, and that’s where mechanical issues start. Motorized shades eliminate that variable entirely.
Big box stores sell a limited selection of Hunter Douglas products—usually the builder-grade or entry-level options. You’re not getting access to the full line, the custom sizing, or the premium fabrics. You’re also not getting professional measurement and installation unless you pay extra for a third-party contractor who may or may not know what they’re doing.
When you work with an authorized Hunter Douglas shades dealer like us, you get the entire catalog. That includes Duolite options for blackout plus light filtering in one shade, top-down bottom-up configurations, motorization with smart home integration, and custom shapes for arches or angles.
You also get a team that’s done this thousands of times and knows how to handle the stuff that goes wrong—uneven walls, windows that aren’t square, mounting into concrete or stucco. That’s not something you get from a retail associate who’s also covering the appliance section.
Yes. Hunter Douglas PowerView works with Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, Control4, Crestron, and most other major platforms. We handle the setup and programming so your shades actually respond when you use voice commands or app controls.
The integration process depends on what system you’re running. For basic setups—Alexa or Google—it’s straightforward and we can usually have it running the same day as installation. For more complex systems like Control4 or Savant, we coordinate with your AV installer or program it ourselves if we’re handling your full home automation.
You can also set schedules and scenes. A lot of our clients in Ojus, FL program their shades to close automatically during the hottest part of the day, then reopen in the evening. It’s one of those things that sounds minor but makes a noticeable difference in how much your AC runs.
Motorization typically adds $200 to $400 per shade depending on the size and power source. Battery-powered motors are on the lower end. Hardwired motors with PowerView automation cost more upfront but don’t require battery changes.
For most people, the cost makes sense on shades that are hard to reach—second-story windows, shades above staircases, or anything mounted higher than eight feet. It also makes sense if you’re doing multiple shades in one room and want them to operate in sync. Trying to manually adjust six shades every morning gets old fast.
The return on investment shows up in convenience and energy savings. Automated schedules mean your shades are always optimizing for heat and light, which reduces your cooling costs. Over a 10-year lifespan, that adds up. We can walk you through the math during your consultation based on your specific windows and sun exposure.
We handle both. Commercial work makes up a significant part of our business—hotels, schools, office buildings, government facilities. The process is similar but the products and timelines are different.
For commercial clients, we’re usually working with larger quantities, coordinating around your operating hours, and meeting specific building codes or safety requirements. Hunter Douglas has commercial-grade product lines designed for high-traffic areas and heavy use. We also manage ongoing maintenance contracts if that’s part of your facility management plan.
Projects we’ve completed include hotel room blackout shades, conference room solar screens, and motorized shade systems for atriums and lobbies. If you’re managing a property in Ojus, FL or anywhere in Miami-Dade County, we can provide samples, quotes, and installation timelines that work with your schedule.
You call us. We’re local, we installed them, and we handle the service work. Hunter Douglas warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship, and the length depends on the product—some are one year, others are lifetime on specific components.
If something breaks due to normal wear or accidental damage, we can usually repair it. Common issues are cord replacements, motor recalibration, or fabric re-tensioning. For older shades that are out of warranty, we’ll tell you honestly whether repair makes sense or if replacement is the better move.
Because we’re an authorized dealer, we can order OEM parts directly from Hunter Douglas. That means faster turnaround and components that actually fit. You’re not waiting three weeks for a generic part that kind of works. Most service calls in the Ojus, FL area get handled within a few days of your call.
