What Motorized Shades Cost in South Florida
Real numbers, published. The figures on this page come from the same pricing engine behind our written quotes - not a teaser rate, not a call-for-price wall. Budgetary, before tax, so you can plan a room, a floor or a whole building.
The short answer: from about $1,910 per motorized window
Most companies make you sit through a sales visit to hear a number. We publish ours. A single standard window on quiet Somfy motorization runs about $1,910 complete; the same window on Lutron runs about $3,141. From there the number scales with size, fabric and power, which is exactly what the table below and our two calculators let you test against your own windows.
Every figure is budgetary and before tax. Your written quote itemizes each opening after we measure - and the consultation that produces it is free, in your home, with fabric samples in hand.

Five things move the number
1. Size brackets
Shade hardware prices by width and drop brackets, not by the inch. A 71" window and a 72" window price the same; an 84" window steps up a bracket. This is why we price per opening from real measurements rather than per square foot.
2. Fabric
A performance solar screen such as Mermet E Screen, a light-filtering weave, or a full blackout each carries its own cost, and dual shades (solar plus blackout on one window) carry two. We fabricate in-house, so designer fabrics do not pass through a middleman markup.
3. Motor brand
Somfy delivers superb, quiet motorization at the accessible end of the range. Lutron adds the control architecture that HomeWorks, RA3 and integrator-driven homes are built on, at roughly 1.6 times the Somfy figure. Crestron and Control4 projects are quoted per specification.
4. Power
Rechargeable motors need no wiring and suit finished condos. Wired low-voltage systems with a power panel never need charging and suit larger projects and new construction - the panel is a line item the calculator includes automatically.
5. Details
Recessed pockets that hide everything but the fabric, coupled shades across 14-foot sliders, drapery layered over solar shades: the details that make the room are quoted openly, per opening. See our recessed and concealed treatments.
Why our numbers hold
We measure, sew, motorize and install with our own team - five in-house seamstresses, certified motorization installers, no subcontractors. One free hour with our team routinely saves owners thousands in avoidable mistakes, and the quote you sign is the number you pay.
Frequently asked
How much do motorized shades cost in South Florida?
As a planning figure from our own quote engine: a single standard window (72 by 84 inches) runs about 1,910 dollars on Somfy motorization or about 3,141 dollars on Lutron, complete with fabric, motor and power as configured. A wall of three large openings lands around 4,511 dollars on Somfy; a main floor of eight comes in around 10,073 dollars. Every figure is budgetary and before tax; your exact windows go through the calculator or a consultation.
Why is Lutron more expensive than Somfy?
Lutron hardware carries the premium of its control ecosystem: whisper-quiet motors, the Palladiom and Sivoia lines, and native integration with HomeWorks and RA3 systems. In our engine the same project prices at roughly 1.6 times its Somfy equivalent. Somfy delivers superb quiet motorization at the lower figure; Lutron buys the system architects and integrators specify. We are certified on both and quote both side by side.
What makes the price go up or down?
Five things move the number more than anything else: the size bracket of each opening, the fabric you choose, the motor brand, how the shades get power (rechargeable battery, plugged, or a wired low-voltage panel), and details like recessed pockets or coupled shades on openings wider than 144 inches. A consultation pins each of these down per window.
Do the figures include installation?
The calculator figures are complete budgetary numbers for the configuration shown: fabric, motorization and control as listed, before tax. Measurement, fabrication, installation and programming are all done by our own team, never subcontracted, and your written quote itemizes everything so there are no surprises on site.
How much are motorized drapery tracks and sheers?
A 12-foot motorized drapery track with a rechargeable motor, remote and professional installation prices at about 1,452 dollars on our track calculator; the same track with a smart-hub motor, ceiling mount and lined drapery sewn in our workroom is about 2,833 dollars. Custom sheers price at 95 dollars per linear foot of width.
Is a written quote free?
