The executive morning, choreographed by your shades
The alarm goes at five. The east-facing master in Willow Bend or Avignon is still in full blackout — the executive who lives here cannot have summer Plano sun coming up at six and starting the day too early. We design Lutron shade scenes that hold the blackout until the alarm fires, then ease the inner sheer up over four minutes while the blackout layer stays put. By the time you are out of the shower, the room is in soft morning light. The kitchen shades have already lifted on their own. The coffee is on.
Plano executive families run on schedules that do not forgive missing details. Dual-layer shades — blackout behind, light-filtering in front — are how the master bedroom holds both functions. The kids' rooms get the same treatment so school mornings start without anyone yelling. The west-facing great room shades drop on their own at 4 p.m. in summer to spare the hardwood floors. The dinner party scene tucks every shade into a quiet half-position. The room makes you look prepared.

How We Do It in Plano
A sun study of your Plano home — We map sun angles by season on your specific lot. Willow Bend east-facing masters behave very differently from Avignon west-facing great rooms — the shade plan reflects that.
Fabric selection at your kitchen table — We bring fabric samples to your home and hold them against your specific window light. Blackout opacity, light-filtering openness, color in your specific paint and trim — chosen in your house, not in a showroom.
Dual-layer engineering where the room needs it — East-facing masters in Plano almost always want a blackout layer plus a light-filtering layer. We engineer the two cassettes into a single clean header so it reads as one shade.
Lutron motor and integration install — Quiet motors with Lutron control. Hardwired in new builds. Battery-powered in retrofits where opening walls is not warranted.
Scene programming around your actual day — Morning Wake at 5:00, Kids Wake at 6:30, Hot Day Defense at 4:00 p.m., Dinner Party at 7:00, Goodnight at 10:30 — tuned to your household, not a default.
A two-week follow-up adjustment — After you have lived with the scenes for a couple of weeks, we come back and refine. The 5 a.m. scene almost always wants a five-minute tweak.

The Questions People Actually Ask.
I wake at five and my east-facing Willow Bend master gets full sun by 6:15. Can the shades hold it back?
Yes. We install a dual-layer system — true blackout behind a light-filtering sheer. At 5:00 the inner sheer rises slowly over four minutes while the blackout stays. At 6:30 the blackout follows. By the time the sun is up, the room is awake and ready.
My Avignon great room is mostly west-facing glass and the floors are fading. Will shades fix it?
They will. A daily hot-day scene drops the great room shades to a sun-defense position around 4 p.m. in summer. UV and heat are blocked while the room stays visually open. The hardwood stops fading. The HVAC runs less.
Will the motors be loud enough to wake the master bedroom in the morning?
No. We specify Lutron's quietest motor class for masters and bedrooms — they run at conversation volume from across the room. You hear the wake sequence as soft fabric movement, not as machinery.
Can the shades integrate with the rest of the Plano home automation we already have?
They can. Lutron integrates cleanly with the major automation platforms we install in Plano — Savant especially. The morning wake scene can trigger the coffee, the master HVAC, and the kitchen shades together so the whole house comes up as one event.
