Elite HTA clients enjoy state-of-the-art home technology including home theater, home automation, IT networks, and custom audio video solutions that integrate elegantly or disappear entirely within the home’s design.

"Absolutely thrilled with my experience with Elite HTA. From the moment I walked into their showroom, I knew I was in capable hands. Cristy, our design consultant, took the time to understand exactly what we needed for our bay windows and offered several elegant solutions that fit our budget. The selection of fabrics and materials was impressive - from light-filtering sheers to room-darkening cellular shades, they had everything we could imagine. What really set them apart was their attention to detail during the measurement and installation process. The installation team, led by Edel, was punctual, professional, and left our space cleaner than they found it. Our new motorized Roman shades work flawlessly and have transformed our living room. They even followed up a week later to ensure everything was working properly and we were satisfied with the installation. The entire process from consultation to installation took just under two weeks, exactly as promised. While their prices aren't the lowest in town, the quality, service, and professionalism make every penny worth it."

"DO NOT HIRE – NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE WITH MIKE GOMEZ / BLUEPRINT WINDOWS LLC My experience with Mike Gomez of Blueprint Windows LLC was a complete disaster and should serve as a serious warning to others. In January 2025, I hired him to install hurricane impact windows. After obtaining HOA approval, I paid a $9,000 deposit on March 10 — which he promptly cashed. After that, everything unraveled. Despite my repeated efforts and full compliance with city and HOA requirements, Mr. Gomez failed to pull the required permits. Worse, he attempted to have me, the homeowner, listed as the contractor — something the City of Plantation confirmed was improper and unacceptable. Over the next several months, I accommodated every request and delay. I provided notarized authorizations, offered to meet him at the permitting office, and even agreed to revised payment terms. Yet, he never delivered any materials, never pulled permits, and never began any work. Instead, he sent a threatening email demanding another $9,108.44, claiming my $9,000 deposit was forfeited and threatening to place a lien on my property and sue me. No work was performed. No materials were received. This is not professional conduct — it’s coercion. Avoid this contractor at all costs."

We are a My Safe Florida Home Approved Contractor. We are committed to the highest quality standards as reflected by our positive client feedback including: Angie's list Super Service Award every year since 2013, A+ Better Business Bureau rating, and a 4.6 Google rating with over 400 reviews. WE ONLY OFFER REPAIRS FOR WINDOWS AND SHUTTERS INSTALLED BY US. We are no longer servicing clients in the Miami area. Assured Storm Protection specializes in all aspects of hurricane protection for South Florida homes. We manufacture our own accordion hurricane shutters and are the only company in South Florida to carry three different shutter product lines (the Bertha, Supernova, & Impact). We offer the supply and installation of hurricane protection products including, hurricane accordion shutters, impact windows and doors, and hurricane storm panels. We offer both residential and commercial services including high-rises. Our volume allows us to offer the lowest prices in Florida! We even have a price match guarantee to ensure you are receiving the best price without sacrificing product quality. Our Window & Door Brands Include: PGT, CGI, ES, CWS, ECO, most made with Cardinal impact glass . Our Hurricane Shutter Brands Include: The Bertha High Velocity Hurricane Shutter, The Supernova Hurricane Shutter, & The Impact Technology Hurricane Shutter.

"This company’s handling of my elderly parents' installation and inspection process was incredibly disappointing. When my parents informed Jake via text that they wouldn’t be available for the scheduled inspection, he didn’t respond to confirm a reschedule. Instead, my father later received a message stating he owed money, which was incorrect, as we have proof of payment. Proper bookkeeping would have prevented this confusion, yet there was no apology—just a dismissive remark that the message was sent in error. Jake then deflected the conversation, asking about the inspection status, which he should have known given the text sent that morning. The way Jake raised his voice and threatened not to reschedule the inspection was highly unprofessional. Customers should not be spoken to this way, especially when they’re trying to accommodate the company’s process. If a client isn’t available, a professional company should be flexible in rescheduling as many times as necessary to complete the service. Moreover, they seem to try to cover up negative reviews by soliciting new ones. Based on this experience, I would strongly caution anyone against working with this company."

FAQs for alarm or security system installation projects in Kendall, FL

Solar-powered motion sensor fixtures operate independently from your home's electrical system, eliminating the need for complex wiring. Each unit contains its own integrated solar collector and battery storage system. Installation involves simple mounting procedures rather than electrical connections. 

Be aware that heavily shaded locations may compromise performance, and seasonal sunlight variations can affect reliability in some geographic regions.

Most motion detection systems include adjustment controls—small dials or switches—located on the sensor housing. These allow customization of detection distance, sensitivity to movement size, and duration settings for illumination after triggering. For fixtures without built-in adjustment capabilities, aftermarket controllers can sometimes be added. 

Regular testing after adjustments helps optimize performance and minimize unwanted activations from small animals or vegetation movement.

Converting to motion-activated lighting reduces electricity consumption substantially compared to fixtures left continuously illuminated. Traditional outdoor lighting operating throughout nighttime hours (10 to 14 hours) consumes significantly more power than motion-activated alternatives that illuminate only when needed. The actual savings depend on your previous lighting configuration, the efficiency of your new fixtures, and local electricity rates.

The ideal number of security lights depends on your property's specific layout and vulnerability points. Strategic placement matters more than quantity—focus on key areas like entry points, blind corners, and pathways. Analyze your property for potential coverage gaps, considering detection angles and ranges of each fixture. Balancing comprehensive coverage with avoiding unnecessary redundancy helps optimize both security effectiveness and installation budget.
