Lutron Shades and Lighting, Thoughtfully Installed
Since 2008, Matt Ashby, a Lutron-certified installer, has designed, installed and programmed Lutron motorized shades and lighting control for architectural homes. Today ACE brings that same quiet expertise to homeowners in Santa Barbara, Montecito and Birmingham, Michigan.
Every system we install uses genuine Lutron products, sourced through authorized Lutron channels and programmed by ACE.
A Home That Runs Itself, Gently
The best Lutron system is one you rarely touch. We program schedules and astronomic timers so shades lower as the afternoon sun arrives and rise again at dawn, and lights soften on their own as evening falls. Daylight sensors adjust the room to the light outside, which protects floors, art and fabrics while keeping the view. Keypads are there when you want them, but the house already knows what to do.
The Lutron Families We Work With
- HomeWorks: Lutron’s flagship whole-home system, suited to larger residences with many shades, lighting zones and scenes.
- RadioRA 3: a refined wireless system, ideal for remodels and homes where new wiring isn’t practical.
- Caséta: a simple, reliable starting point for a few rooms.
- Sivoia QS: quiet, precise motorized shades, available in a wide range of fabrics.
- Palladiom: Lutron’s minimalist keypads and shading, with clean lines that suit modern interiors.
- Ketra: tunable, natural light that follows the day, from crisp morning white to warm evening glow.
We’ll recommend the system that fits your home, not the largest one available. Explore motorized shades and lighting control.
Shades and Light, Designed Together
When we plan shades and lighting together, the whole room behaves as one. As shades close at sunset, the lights rise to meet them, and a single schedule handles both. We coordinate with your electrician, general contractor and design team so the system is planned from the start, not added later.
Santa Barbara and Montecito
On the California coast, bright sun and wide ocean views call for shades that manage glare without hiding the horizon. We serve Santa Barbara, Montecito and the surrounding communities. See our California work.
Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
In Michigan, the seasons change how light enters the home. Schedules adjust from long summer evenings to short winter days, and shades can help hold warmth in. We serve Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills and nearby communities. See our Michigan work.
Installation and Ongoing Care
Our team handles installation, programming and handover, with clear communication from start to finish. After that, we stay available to fine-tune scenes and schedules as your routines change. Browse our work.

Yes. We program schedules, astronomic timers and daylight sensors so shades and lights respond to the sun and the time of day, with no button needed.
Which Lutron system is right for my home?
It depends on the size of the home, the number of shades and lights, and how you live in it. We’ll walk through the options and give you a custom proposal.
