HOW WE PLAN IT
Planned Window by Window
At your free consultation we check your home's power, Wi-Fi and smart-home gear before we recommend anything.
Power for every window. Battery, solar, plug-in or wired — we pick what fits each opening, and most homes end up mixed.
Charging within reach. On tall windows we plan solar or wired power so no one needs a ladder to charge a battery.
Motor sized to the shade. Wide and heavy shades get a stronger motor, or are split into two so they run smoothly.
Room in the headrail. We check mount depth so the motor, battery and cover fit cleanly in the window.
Wi-Fi and the gear you own. We check hub range and match Alexa, Google or Apple Home so you're not running two apps.
Set up on install day. We program limits, groups, scenes and your first schedules before we leave.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Motorization
How much do motorized blinds cost?
Motorization typically adds $150–$300 per window on top of the base treatment cost. For a full-home installation (10–15 windows), expect $3,000–$8,000 total depending on treatment type and motor choice.
Can I add motors to my existing blinds or shades?
In many cases, yes. Retrofit motorization kits are available for roller shades, cellular shades, and some blind types.
How long do motorized shade batteries last?
Modern lithium-ion battery packs typically last 6–12 months depending on usage. They recharge via USB-C in about 6 hours.
Do motorized shades work during a power outage?
Battery-powered and solar-powered motors continue working during outages. Hardwired motors stop but resume when power returns. Most include manual override.
Are motorized blinds noisy?
Modern motors are whisper-quiet—typically under 35 decibels. You'll hear a soft hum for a few seconds while the shade moves, then complete silence.
What's the warranty on motorized window treatments?
Motors, control systems and mechanisms carry a Limited 2-Year warranty. Our installation is covered for life — if a mount, bracket or pairing fails because of how we installed it, we come back at no charge.
How long does a motorized installation take?
About 3 weeks from the free consultation to installed, including build, pairing and your first schedules and scenes.
We're building or remodeling. When should we call?
Before the drywall goes up. Low-voltage wiring is easiest to run while the walls are open, and it means no batteries to charge later.
What if the Wi-Fi goes down?
The handheld remote and wall switches still work — they talk to the shades directly. The app, voice control and schedules come back when the Wi-Fi does.
