How much does Lutron HomeWorks cost in Kansas City? (2026)
A Lutron HomeWorks lighting + shade system for a Kansas City home in 2026 runs $18,000 for an 8-12 zone starter install to $295,000+ for a concierge-tier 50+ zone whole-home system with motorized shades. The two variables that drive the price: total zone count (every fixture group is one zone), and whether motorized shades + custom programming are part of the scope. IntegrateIT is a Lutron Certified Installer with 60+ HomeWorks projects across the KC metro — the ranges below come from our actual project history.
Below: cost by zone count, what each tier includes, the difference between HomeWorks QSX and RA2 Select, and the six questions every Kansas City buyer asks.

Questions every Kansas City buyer asks
How much does a Lutron HomeWorks system cost in Kansas City?
A starter 8-12 zone HomeWorks install in Kansas City runs $18,000-$38,000. A whole-home 20-32 zone system runs $45,000-$115,000. A concierge-tier 50+ zone install with motorized shades + bespoke programming runs $125,000-$295,000. Lutron HomeWorks is the gold standard for residential lighting control — the price reflects it.
What's the difference between Lutron HomeWorks and Lutron RA2 Select?
HomeWorks QSX is the flagship — wired, scalable to 200+ zones, with custom programming via Lutron's design tools. RA2 Select is the smaller-system product — wireless (Clear Connect protocol), tops out around 100 devices, programmed via the Lutron app. RA2 Select is great for retrofits and apartments; HomeWorks is what new-construction and large-home buyers should pick.
Can Lutron HomeWorks integrate with Control4 or Crestron?
Yes — IntegrateIT regularly installs Lutron HomeWorks as the lighting + shade layer underneath a Control4 or Crestron whole-home automation system. The two-system architecture is actually the recommended pattern for concierge-tier homes: Lutron does what Lutron does best (lighting + shades), Control4 or Crestron does the rest (audio, video, climate, security).
How long does a Lutron HomeWorks install take in Kansas City?
New construction: 1-3 weeks for the wiring run (synced to the electrician's schedule), then 1 week for device install + commissioning after drywall. Retrofit into an existing home: 2-4 weeks total (longer because we're fishing wire through finished walls). Programming + scene design: 1-2 weeks parallel to install.
Are Lutron motorized shades worth the cost in Kansas City?
For homes with large south- or west-facing window walls, yes — motorized shades pay for themselves in HVAC savings within 5-7 years (we've measured 12-18% annual cooling-load reduction on real KC projects). For smaller window counts or north-facing exposures, the value is more about convenience + aesthetics than ROI.
Who is the best Lutron HomeWorks dealer in Kansas City?
