Designed for Boca’s Scale
Boca Raton homes run large — and so do their windows. Great rooms with 20-foot ceilings, transom stacks, arched openings, and sliders spanning 10 to 16 feet across the back of the house are standard in communities like Boca West, Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, The Oaks, and Woodfield. Stock window coverings simply don’t come in these sizes. Custom treatments do: oversized roller and solar shades on heavy-duty tubes, drapery panels sewn to true height, and shutters built to arched and specialty shapes.
Country-Club Communities and HOA Approvals
Gated and country-club communities in Boca often have architectural guidelines covering what’s visible from the street or golf course — typically a neutral white/off-white exterior appearance requirement, similar to coastal condo rules. This is a design constraint, not a limitation: we specify compliant backings and liners on the exterior side, with full freedom of color and texture facing your rooms. Bring your HOA’s guidelines to the consultation and we’ll design to them from day one. For condos along the Intracoastal and A1A, we also handle the certificate-of-insurance and building-access logistics your association requires.
The Slider Problem (and Why Boca Loves Motorization)
The signature Boca window challenge is the wall of glass: multi-panel sliders opening to the pool and patio, often facing west or south. Manually operating a 14-foot treatment daily gets old fast, which is why motorization demand is highest in exactly these homes. Motorized options include wide single-tube roller shades, drapery tracks that glide a 16-foot panel silently, and scene control — “Sunset” lowers the west-facing shades automatically at 5 p.m., every day, before the heat gain hits your A/C bill. National 2026 guides put motorized shades at roughly $300–$1,000 per window installed (HomeGuide); wide-format and integrated systems price above that.
Florida Sun, Boca Interiors
Boca interiors tend toward light floors, art, and quality furnishings — all of which Florida UV punishes. Solar shades with 1%–5% openness cut glare and UV while preserving golf-course and water views; layered designs (sheer zebra shades plus decorative drapery panels) give you daytime light control and evening softness in one window. In humid rooms and east-facing exposures, composite shutters outlast hardwood without warping. Everything we specify is chosen for this climate first.
Hurricane Season Planning
Interior treatments are not storm protection — impact glass and rated shutters are, and most newer Boca construction already has impact glazing. What that means for you: impact window frames change mounting depths, so treatments should be measured after any glass upgrade, not before. And for seasonal residents, scheduled motorized shades keep the house looking lived-in from June through November while you’re away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you cover a 14-foot sliding glass door with one treatment?
Yes. Wide-format roller shades on heavy-duty tubes, panel-track systems, and motorized drapery tracks are all built for openings of 10–16 feet. For the widest spans we may recommend motorization, since a treatment that size is genuinely awkward to operate by hand every day.
Do you handle HOA and architectural-review requirements in country-club communities?
Yes. Most Boca community guidelines regulate only the exterior-facing appearance — usually white or off-white. We design compliant backings into the treatment so your interior-facing side can be any fabric you love, and we can review your HOA’s written guidelines with you before you order.
How much do custom window treatments cost in Boca Raton?
Plan on roughly $150–$1,200 per standard window installed depending on type, per 2026 national benchmarks from HomeGuide and Angi. Oversized sliders, specialty shapes, and motorization price higher. See the full South Florida cost guide, then get exact numbers from a free in-home measure.
Is motorization worth it for a seasonal residence?
Usually, yes. Scheduled shades protect furnishings from months of unattended UV exposure, keep the home looking occupied, and let you check or adjust everything from your phone. For snowbird owners, that combination is typically worth more than the motorization premium of $125–$300 per window.
Do plantation shutters hold up in Boca's humidity?
Composite (poly) shutters do — they resist warping and moisture far better than budget hardwood, at $150–$800 per window installed per 2026 guides. In dry, conditioned rooms, premium hardwood remains an option; we’ll recommend material room by room based on exposure.
Should I order window treatments before or after impact windows?
After. Impact glass changes frame depth and mounting surfaces, so measuring before an upgrade risks a poor fit. We regularly schedule final measurement to follow an impact-window install, then fabricate to the new openings.
How long from consultation to installed treatments?
Every piece is custom-fabricated to your window’s exact dimensions, so plan for a fabrication lead time between final measure and install — we confirm yours in writing with your quote. Most installs finish in a few hours; estate-scale or fully motorized projects can take a day or more including programming and smart-home integration.
