Hear from Our Customers
Your AC stops working overtime because shades automatically close when afternoon sun hits hardest. You’re not walking room to room adjusting blinds anymore—everything runs on schedules you set once and forget.
Your furniture stops fading. That couch you spent money on isn’t getting bleached by Miami sun streaming through bare windows.
You control everything from your phone or by voice. Close the bedroom shades from bed. Open the living room before you get home. Set scenes that adjust lighting and temperature together. The system learns your patterns and starts suggesting schedules that actually make sense for how you live.
We bring over 20 years of window treatment experience from successful operations in New York City and Toronto. We’re authorized Hunter Douglas dealers, which means we install the actual motorized systems designed to handle South Florida’s humidity and heat.
We’re not a franchise following a script. We’re designers and installers who understand what West Little River’s climate does to window treatments. We’ve seen what fails and what lasts in this environment.
Our team handles everything—consultation, custom manufacturing through our Roller Shade USA division, professional installation, smart home programming, and warranty support. You work with one company from start to finish.
You schedule a free in-home consultation. We come to West Little River, measure your windows, talk about what’s frustrating you now, and show you fabric samples and motor options. No pressure—just information about what works in South Florida homes.
We create custom shades at our manufacturing facility. Hunter Douglas motors get paired with fabrics rated for UV resistance and humidity. Everything’s built specifically for your window measurements.
Our licensed technicians install and program everything. They mount the shades, set up your smartphone app, connect to Alexa or Google Assistant if you want voice control, and program the schedules you requested. Before they leave, you know how to operate everything and what to do if you ever need support.
Ready to get started?
You get Hunter Douglas PowerView motors designed for Florida’s climate—not standard motors that burn out in humidity. These systems include smartphone control, voice integration, and scheduling capabilities that actually reduce your energy bills.
West Little River homes face intense afternoon sun that drives up cooling costs. Our installations include UV-blocking fabrics that protect your furniture and flooring while cutting the heat load on your AC. Most clients see noticeable drops in summer energy bills within the first month.
We include complete smart home setup. That means your shades work with your existing Alexa, Google Home, or smartphone. Create scenes where shades, lights, and temperature adjust together. Set schedules so shades close automatically during peak heat hours—usually 2 PM to 6 PM in this area.
Everything comes with comprehensive warranty coverage and our direct support. You’re not calling a national hotline. You reach our team who installed your system and knows your setup.
Expect to invest between $400 and $800 per window for quality motorized Hunter Douglas shades with smart home integration. That includes the shade, PowerView motor, professional installation, and programming.
Price varies based on window size, fabric choice, and how many shades you’re installing. Larger projects often get better per-window pricing. Specialty shapes or blackout requirements add cost.
The investment typically pays back through energy savings over 3-5 years in South Florida. Your AC works less when shades automatically block afternoon heat. Plus you’re protecting furniture and flooring from UV damage that costs more to replace than the shades themselves.
Yes, but only if they’re programmed correctly and you’re using the right fabrics. Hunter Douglas shades with solar or cellular fabrics can reduce heat gain by 45-60% when closed during peak sun hours.
The key is automation. Manual shades don’t help if you forget to close them before afternoon sun hits. Motorized shades on schedules close automatically at 2 PM when West Little River gets the worst heat, then reopen when sun shifts.
Most of our clients report 10-20% drops in summer cooling costs. The exact savings depend on your home’s insulation, window size, and which direction they face. South and west-facing windows see the biggest impact.
Quality Hunter Douglas motorized shades typically last 10-15 years in South Florida when professionally installed with motors rated for humidity. The motors are the critical component—cheap motors fail in our climate within 2-3 years.
Hunter Douglas PowerView motors are sealed against moisture and designed for coastal environments. The fabrics are UV-resistant and won’t fade or deteriorate like standard materials do under Miami sun.
We’ve installed thousands of motorized systems in Florida. The ones that fail early are usually DIY installations with consumer-grade motors, or budget brands that aren’t built for this environment. Hunter Douglas systems we installed 10+ years ago in other markets are still running.
Yes. Hunter Douglas PowerView technology integrates directly with smartphones, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. You control individual shades, groups, or whole-home scenes through the app or by voice.
The app lets you create schedules, adjust shades remotely, and set up automation rules. Tell Alexa to close the bedroom shades at bedtime. Ask Google to open living room shades to 50%. Create a “movie mode” that closes all shades and dims lights with one command.
We handle all the programming during installation. You don’t need to be tech-savvy—we set it up based on how you want to use it, then show you how to make adjustments later if your routine changes.
Hunter Douglas motors are sealed and humidity-rated for coastal climates. Budget motors aren’t, and they fail fast in South Florida. We’ve replaced dozens of failed cheap systems with Hunter Douglas—usually within 18 months of the original installation.
The fabrics matter too. Hunter Douglas uses UV-resistant materials that maintain color and function under intense sun. Cheaper fabrics fade, warp, or develop weak spots where sun hits daily.
You also get actual support. Hunter Douglas backs their products with real warranties and a dealer network. When something needs service, you call us—not a disconnected number for a company that might not exist next year. The upfront cost is higher, but you’re not replacing the entire system in three years.
Most residential installations in West Little River take 4-6 hours depending on how many windows you’re covering. A typical living room and bedroom setup with 6-8 windows usually wraps up in half a day.
The actual mounting goes quickly. What takes time is the programming—connecting to your WiFi, setting up the app, creating your schedules, testing voice commands, and making sure you’re comfortable operating everything before we leave.
We schedule installations when you’re home so you can see how everything works and ask questions. You’ll know how to adjust schedules, add new scenes, and troubleshoot basic issues. If you want changes later, we can reprogram remotely or come back out.
