Elevate Your New Build with Custom Window Solutions

When it comes to building a new home or managing a luxury renovation in Los Angeles, window treatments might not be the first thing that comes to mind—but they should be. At Luxe Drapery and Shades, we specialize in new construction window treatments that elevate your home’s functionality, style, and long-term value. From sleek motorized roller shades to integrated lighting and shading systems, we help homeowners, builders, and contractors achieve a seamless finish that works from the rough framing stage to the final walkthrough.

Why Custom Window Treatments Matter in New Construction

Designing a home from the ground up gives you the unique opportunity to integrate new construction window treatments right into the architecture. Rather than retrofitting solutions later, you can plan for pockets in the ceiling to recess motorized shades, prewire for automation, and choose materials and controls that match your aesthetic and lifestyle from day one.

With Luxe Drapery and Shades, you’re not just getting fabric and hardware—you’re getting a fully engineered, professionally coordinated system that fits your home perfectly.

Our Experience Sets Us Apart

Most window treatment businesses cater to the retail market: walk-in clients, standalone rooms, and off-the-shelf products. That’s not us. Our projects are often part of multi-million dollar custom builds or high-end renovations. We work directly with general contractors, electricians, framers, interior designers, and lighting integrators to plan and install new construction window treatments that perform beautifully and last for years.

Licensed to Work on Construction Sites

Luxe Drapery and Shades is licensed and bonded by the California State Contractors State License Board. This enables us to work on active construction sites—during the rough stages—something most window covering companies cannot do. Our license also provides our clients with a 1-year installation warranty, as required by the state.

Prewiring and Planning: The Foundation of Smart Shades

Modern new construction window treatments often include motorized roller shades and draperies. These systems aren’t plug-and-play—they require early planning and coordination. We receive Requests for Pricing (RFPs) from contractors and do a full takeoff based on architectural drawings. From there, we:

  • Identify all windows and specify dimensions
  • Determine motorization needs (Somfy RTS 24V or Lutron Sivoia QS)
  • Plan low-voltage prewiring during the rough framing stage
  • Coordinate with electricians to install power panels in-wall
  • Specify and order pocket headboxes for recessed ceiling mounting

By handling all of this internally, we ensure a seamless integration of the window treatment system with the home’s overall infrastructure.

Integration with Lighting Control Systems

A growing trend in Los Angeles luxury builds is combining window shading with lighting control. At Luxe Drapery and Shades, we routinely integrate our new construction window treatments with systems like:

  • Lutron Homeworks
  • Lutron Radio RA3
  • Crestron Home

This allows the homeowner to control lights and shades through one interface—be it a keypad, app, or voice control. Need your blackout shades down and the sconces dimmed for movie night? Just one tap.

Pocket Headboxes and Rough Framing Coordination

When shades are recessed into the ceiling, a whole new level of coordination is required. We use products like pocket headboxes with closure plates or hanger flaps, and we work directly with framers to make sure:

  • The framing is done to exact specifications
  • The pockets are placed before drywall
  • The closure plates allow for clean, flush finishes

These steps are critical for achieving the clean, built-in look many of our clients desire from their new construction window treatments.

Why General Contractors Choose Luxe

Builders love working with us because we speak their language. We understand timelines, construction documentation, and how to stay out of the way while delivering a high-end result. When contractors include us in the bidding process, they know they’re getting:

  • Accurate takeoffs and quotes
  • Reliable communication
  • On-site presence during rough and finish stages
  • Accountability through our contractor license

In short: we make the process easier, not harder.

Homeowners Benefit Too

Even if you’re not a contractor, you benefit when your new construction window treatments are handled the right way. With Luxe Drapery and Shades, you’ll get:

  • Early consultation to align window coverings with your vision
  • Fewer surprises later in the build process
  • Access to luxury fabric lines and motorization brands
  • Clean, modern finishes that look intentional—not added on
