Window Treatments in Skye Ranch

Most Skye Ranch homes close with no window treatments — and the first install is usually the largest single after-closing cosmetic project. Florida-popular options: plantation shutters ($25–$45 per sq ft of opening, lifetime warranty common), roller shades ($15–$28 per sq ft with motorization +$150–$350 per opening), woven woods ($20–$35 per sq ft). For sun-facing windows, ask about UV-blocking fabric — solar shades preserve flooring and furniture. Motorized shades on great-room banks pay back in convenience daily.

Frequently asked

Shutters vs. shades — what's better?

Shutters are permanent, premium, and Florida-appropriate (great resale value). Shades are easier to swap and better for blackout. Many homes do shutters in main rooms, shades in bedrooms.

Are motorized shades worth it?

On great-room banks of windows, yes — the daily convenience and integration with smart-home schedules are immediate. Less compelling on single windows.

What's the typical project cost?

$8,000–$25,000 for a fully-treated Skye Ranch home depending on product mix and window count.

How long is the lead time?

4–8 weeks from measure to install for custom shutters; 3–6 weeks for shades. Plan accordingly when moving in.
