What we do
Motorized shades that handle the sun for you
The sun is the biggest light in your house. Controlling it makes a home more comfortable to live in, more energy efficient, and better looking, with no cords and no tugging at blinds.
Lutron has the quietest patented shade motors in the industry, at a very low 25 dB. Control every shade from the app or from wall keypads, and group them into scenes that set several shades with one button. Because the Lutron processor knows where the sun is from your home's location, shades can react to the sun on their own.
Shades work with Lutron lighting, your home theater and your remote. Start with a free quote, or meet us first.

Roller shades, honeycomb, wood blinds or drapes
Motorized roller shades give clean lines and a choice of openness, from sheer fabrics that keep the view to blackout. Honeycomb shades add insulation. Wood blinds and drapes suit more traditional rooms. All of them run on the same Lutron system.

Wired shades or battery-powered shades
Building or remodeling? We can run wire to every window so the shades never need a battery. In a finished home, battery-powered shades go up with no new wiring and run for years between battery changes.

Blackout motorized shades for the media room
Daylight washes out a projector and puts glare on a TV. Blackout shades darken the room at the push of a button, and when they're part of a movie scene they lower while the lights dim, quietly enough that nobody notices.

Sun tracking
How automated shades keep the afternoon sun off your things
No shades, afternoon sun
A west window from 1 PM to sunset. As the sun drops, the light reaches deeper into the room, across the rug and onto the TV.
Same afternoon, now on Lutron. The processor knows where the sun is, so the shade lowers just far enough to keep the sunlight near the window.
Pick the fabric. Sheer keeps the view and cuts the glare, light filtering softens the room, blackout stops it cold.
Movie time. One button drops the blackout shade and dims the lights, and the 25 dB motor is quieter than the opening credits.
Our process
How motorized shades installation works with R&D
Walk the windows
We look at which way each window faces, where the glare lands, and what you want to see out of it.
Pick styles and fabrics
Roller, honeycomb, wood or drapes, sheer to blackout, and wired or battery power.
Measure and order
Every window measured precisely so each shade fits its opening.
Install
Shades mounted, wired or powered, and joined to the Lutron system.
Program
Keypads, the app, scenes, schedules and sun tracking, set up the way you live.
Better together
Shades, lights and the theater on one button
Shades do the most when they're part of the whole system. One crew installs the shades, the lighting, the music and the controls, so a Good Morning button can open the shades and bring up the kitchen lights, and a Movie button can close them and dim the room.

What clients and contractors say
R+D are great. Clear communication, showed up right on time and the installation looks great. Highly recommend.Matt Curtis, Google review
Dan and his team are great. I've had him install/uninstall/Install from 3 different homes and they've always been responsive, quick and professional. Will always use R&D, couldn't be happier.Edward Coon, Google review
R&D A/V has been great to work with. I've hired and worked alongside them with Rose City Tech for low-voltage wiring, camera installs, access points, TV mounting, and related A/V work. R&D is reliable, knowledgeable, and do clean professional work.Colin, Rose City Tech, Google review
Reasonably priced for a cat5e retrofit, communication was clear and emails returned pre/post install in a timely fashion. Highly recommended!Richard Fancher, Google review
How quiet are Lutron motorized shades?
Lutron's patented shade motors run at about 25 dB, which Lutron says is the quietest in the industry. Most people barely hear them move.
How long do the batteries last in battery-powered shades?
Lutron's battery-powered shades are rated for a 3 to 5 year battery life.
Should I get wired or battery-powered shades?
Both work well. Wired shades are easiest to plan during new construction or a remodel, when we can run the wire. Battery-powered shades suit finished homes because they need no new wiring. More on home wiring.
What styles of motorized shades does Lutron make?
Lutron makes roller shades, honeycomb shades, wood blinds and drapes, in many styles and hundreds of colors, from sheer fabrics to blackout.
Can shades open and close with the sun?
Yes. The Lutron processor knows where the sun is based on your home's location, so shades can lower when the sun hits a window and raise again when it moves on.
Do motorized shades help with energy efficiency?
They can. Shades that close when the afternoon sun hits a window keep some of that heat out, and they protect floors and furniture from direct sun.
Do Lutron shades work with my lighting and smart home system?
Yes. Lutron shades pair with Lutron lighting control, and they can tie into Savant and URC systems, so one button can lower the shades and dim the lights for a movie. See universal remotes.
