Window treatments and motorized shades in Southwest Ranches
Southwest Ranches is rural Broward: estate homes on acreage, horses, long driveways and few close neighbors. We design window treatments and automation for houses with a lot of glass and a lot of sky.
“Day and night, we control the light”
Estates on open land
Window treatments in Southwest Ranches deal with exposure. With bigger lots and fewer trees or buildings nearby, homes take sun on every side, and large custom houses carry more windows than most.
Many estates here were built custom, with great rooms, guest wings and indoor-outdoor living around the pool. That scale is where whole-home automation earns its keep. A Lutron system runs every shade in the house from a few keypads, sets scenes for morning and evening, and pairs with lighting control so the whole home responds together.
Outside, covered patios and summer kitchens face the open land. Motorized exterior shades in Sunbrella or screen fabric cut heat and insects, then disappear into a cassette when you do not need them. For a barn office or guest house, simple, durable shades keep the space comfortable without overbuilding.
If you are building, bring us in while the plans are still on paper. We can mark shade pockets in the ceilings, power at each window and keypad locations by the doors, which keeps the finished rooms clean and avoids rework later.

What Southwest Ranches homeowners choose most
Estate owners in the Ranches tend to think about the whole property at once.
Layered rooms
Layers for big windows
A bedroom layering Hunter Douglas shadings with drapery, the approach we suggest for primary suites on open land where the sun rises with nothing in the way. Below it are outdoor shade installs from our service area.
Outdoor shades
Planning an estate
Large properties go best when shades, power and controls are planned together.
Long runs of glass
Walls of windows facing the pool or pasture are where motorization matters most. We group them into zones so each run moves as one.
Heat before privacy
With few neighbors, the job shifts to heat and fading. Screen fabrics and exterior shades protect floors and furniture through the brightest hours.
Power and wiring
Hardwired shades need power at each window. On a build or remodel we mark locations early; on a finished home, battery options avoid opening walls.
Getting to the Ranches
Southwest to the Ranches
Southwest Ranches sits in southwest Broward near Davie and Weston, a straightforward drive from our Coral Springs showroom.
For large projects we start with a walk of the whole property, inside and out, and then return with a written quote broken out by room and building. You are welcome to visit the showroom to try Lutron keypads, Josh.ai voice control and motorized drapery before that walk.

We're proud of our work. Read our reviews.
We ordered our Hunter Douglas blinds from Solun for our previous home and the experience was so professional and fair that we only went to Joseph at Solun for our blinds at our new home we recently moved into. We needed to change the order for one of our rooms and Joseph graciously made the change for us. His installation crew is very professional, neat and accurately installed our blinds. They are very knowledgeable and explained the motorized operation in easy to understand terms. I highly recommend Solun
Great service from start to finish. Carlos the sales person was 100% professional. He LISTENED to myself and my wife. And help guide thru the whole process. The installers were on time. Quick and cleaned up after themselves. Courteous and professional. Overall. 5 stars plus.
Been wanting new blinds for a long time and finally did it. Came out even better than I expected. The whole thing was easy from measuring to install and they look awesome. Definitely worth it.
Southwest Ranches questions
Can you automate every shade in a large estate?
Yes. Lutron systems scale from a few rooms to an entire property, guest house included. We plan the shade layout, keypad locations and wiring with your builder or electrician, and Joseph Ellman is personally involved in large Lutron installs.
Do I need privacy treatments if I have no close neighbors?
Less than in town, but you still want light control. On acreage the bigger issues are heat, glare and fading. Solar screen shades and exterior shades handle those during the day, and room-darkening layers in bedrooms keep the early sunrise out.
Will you come back for service after the install?
Yes. The team that installs your project is the same team that returns for adjustments and service. Our 4-Way Guarantee covers workmanship issues reported within 30 days at no cost.
