You’re paying too much to cool a house that heats up every afternoon when the sun hits those west-facing windows. Lutron window shades block that heat before it gets inside. They close automatically during peak sun hours, keeping rooms comfortable without cranking the thermostat down another three degrees.
Your furniture stops fading. That couch you bought two years ago keeps its color because UV rays aren’t beating down on it six hours a day. Same goes for your hardwood floors and that artwork in the hallway.
You control everything from your phone. Adjust individual rooms or set schedules that match how you actually live. Wake up to natural light, close the shades when you leave for work, open them again before you get home. Voice commands work too if you’ve got Alexa or Google Assistant. The system learns your preferences and starts suggesting schedules that make sense for your routine.
We run operations in New York, Toronto, and now South Florida. We’re authorized Lutron window treatments dealers, which means you’re getting the real product with proper warranty coverage and installation that actually works with Florida’s humidity.
Riviera Beach homes deal with specific challenges. Salt air, intense UV exposure, and that coastal humidity that makes cheaper motorized systems fail within two years. We only install professional-grade motors designed for this climate, and every system gets programmed to handle the sun patterns you’re actually dealing with on your street.
You’ll work with licensed, insured technicians who’ve installed hundreds of these systems. We measure everything during a free consultation, program the shades to integrate with whatever smart home setup you’re already using, and test every function before we leave.
We start with a free in-home consultation where we measure your windows and talk about what you’re trying to fix. High energy bills, fading furniture, too much glare on your TV during the day—whatever’s driving this decision. We’ll assess your existing smart home setup if you have one, or explain your options if you’re starting from scratch.
You’ll see fabric samples and get a quote that includes everything: the Lutron shades, motors, wireless controls, smartphone app integration, and complete installation. No surprise fees for programming or “smart home compatibility” later.
Installation day, our technicians mount the shades, run any necessary wiring, and program the entire system. You get remote controls, app access, and voice command capability through Alexa or Google Assistant if that’s what you’re using. We test every shade, show you how to adjust settings, and set up automation schedules based on your daily routine.
You’ll have our contact information for any adjustments or questions after installation. Most clients want to tweak their schedules after living with the system for a week or two, and that’s normal.

Your Lutron Shades system includes professional-grade motors designed for Florida’s humidity, custom-fitted shades or blinds, and complete smart home integration. Every installation comes with wireless controls, smartphone app access, and the option to connect with Alexa, Google Home, or existing automation platforms like Control4 or Savant.
Riviera Beach’s climate is tough on window treatments. You’re dealing with salt air from the coast, UV intensity that’s higher than most of the country, and humidity levels that destroy standard motorized systems. We use motors rated for coastal environments and fabrics that block heat without breaking down under constant sun exposure.
Energy savings show up fast in South Florida. Homes with automated shading typically see 15-25% reductions in cooling costs during summer months because you’re blocking heat at the window instead of fighting it with AC once it’s already inside. Your system will close shades automatically during peak heat hours and open them when temperatures drop, maximizing natural light without the heat penalty.
The warranty covers motors, controls, and installation work. These systems typically last 10-15 years in Florida’s climate when installed correctly, which is why we only work with Lutron—they build equipment that holds up.
You’re looking at $400-$800 per window for motorized Lutron window shades with smart home integration, depending on window size and fabric choice. A typical three-bedroom home with 10-12 windows runs $5,000-$8,000 installed and programmed.
That includes the shades, motors, wireless controls, smartphone app setup, and integration with your existing smart home system if you have one. Larger windows or specialty shapes cost more because they require bigger motors and custom fabrication.
The upfront cost is higher than manual blinds, but you’re cutting cooling costs every month. Most Riviera Beach clients see the investment pay for itself in energy savings over 5-7 years, and the shades typically last 10-15 years in Florida’s climate. You’re also protecting furniture and flooring from UV damage, which adds up when you’re not replacing a $2,000 couch every few years because it’s faded.
Yes, if you’re running Control4, Savant, Crestron, or most other major platforms. Lutron designs their systems to integrate with existing automation, and we handle the programming during installation.
You’ll control your shades through whatever interface you’re already using—your existing app, wall panels, or voice commands through Alexa or Google Assistant. We don’t make you learn a separate system or switch apps every time you want to adjust a shade.
If you don’t have a smart home system yet, that’s fine too. Lutron shades work standalone with their own app and wireless remotes. You can add broader home automation later, and the shades will integrate when you’re ready. We set up whatever makes sense for how you actually want to control things, not what looks good in a brochure.
Most residential installations in Riviera Beach take one full day for 10-12 windows. Larger homes or complex smart home integration might stretch into a second day.
We’re mounting shades, running wiring if needed, programming the system, and testing every function. That includes connecting to your WiFi, syncing with your smart home platform, setting up initial automation schedules, and showing you how to use all the controls.
You don’t need to clear your schedule for a week. We’ll give you a specific time window during your consultation, and we stick to it. The house is fully functional the same day—no waiting for follow-up appointments to finish programming or “activate” features you already paid for.
Yes, because you’re blocking heat at the window before it gets inside. Automated shading typically cuts cooling costs by 15-25% during Florida’s summer months when the system is programmed correctly.
Here’s why it works: your AC doesn’t have to fight against heat that’s already warmed up your living room. Lutron shades close automatically during peak afternoon sun, keeping rooms 5-10 degrees cooler without touching the thermostat. When temperatures drop in the evening, they open again to let in natural light.
The energy savings are higher in Riviera Beach than in northern climates because you’re running AC almost year-round. A typical home saving $40-60 monthly on cooling costs will recover the system investment in 5-7 years, and the shades last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. You’re also extending your AC’s lifespan because it’s not working as hard to maintain temperature.
Very little if they’re installed correctly with motors rated for humidity. You’ll dust the fabric every few weeks and check that nothing’s blocking the shade path. That’s about it for regular maintenance.
The motors are sealed units designed for coastal environments, so salt air and humidity don’t get inside to corrode components. Lutron builds these systems to run 10-15 years in Florida without major service. If something does go wrong, it’s usually covered under warranty, and we handle the service call.
You might want to update automation schedules seasonally as sun angles change, but that takes five minutes in the app. Some clients never touch their settings after the first month because the system just works. The biggest maintenance issue we see is people forgetting to clean fabric, which doesn’t affect function but looks dingy after a year of coastal dust buildup.
Absolutely. Most Riviera Beach clients start with the rooms that get the worst sun exposure—usually west-facing living rooms or primary bedrooms that heat up every afternoon.
You can add more rooms later, and everything integrates into the same system. Start with three windows now, add four more next year—it all connects through the same app and responds to the same voice commands.
Starting small makes sense if you want to test the energy savings before committing to the whole house. You’ll see the difference in cooling costs and comfort level within the first month, and then you can decide whether to expand coverage. We design every installation with future expansion in mind, so you’re not paying twice for programming or system setup when you add more shades.
