Remote, app or voice control with no cords to tangle.

Motorized blinds, smart blinds and smart shades
Motorized blinds and smart shades are the same idea across our product lines: a Somfy or RollEase Acmeda motor in place of a cord or chain, controlled by remote, by app, or by voice through those brands' smart-home hubs. Battery motors retrofit without wiring; hardwired motors suit new builds and renovations. Motorized installation is included in the quote.

Motorized Shades in Action
Motorized Shades Questions
Are motorized blinds worth it?
For hard-to-reach windows, large or multiple windows, and anyone who wants to set schedules or control shades by voice, yes. Motorization also removes cords, which is a safer choice around children and pets. We’ll show you the options at your free in-home consultation and only recommend it where it earns its place.
How are motorized shades powered?
Three ways: rechargeable battery motors (the most common for retrofits — no wiring), hardwired motors (planned into new builds or renovations), and, in some cases, solar-assisted charging. Our Somfy and RollEase Acmeda motors cover all three; we recommend the right one for each window.
Do motorized shades need to be plugged in?
Not usually. Battery motors run for months between charges and recharge from a standard outlet with the supplied cable. Hardwired motors are wired in once and never need charging.
Can my existing blinds be motorized?
Sometimes. It depends on the product, its headrail and its age. Bring the details to your consultation and we’ll tell you honestly whether a retrofit makes sense or whether a new motorized shade is the better value.
How much do motorized shades cost?
It depends on the window size, the fabric, the motor and how many shades are controlled together, so we don’t publish a flat price. Every quote is free and follows an in-home measure, so the number you get is the number you pay.
