Motorized Shades in Siesta Key
Effortless glare and privacy control for barrier-island glass — motorized and smart shades for Siesta Key Gulf-front condos, beach homes, and second homes, programmed and installed by a local family-owned studio.
Why motorized shades make sense on Siesta Key
Gulf-front living on Siesta Key means tall glass, sliders, and window walls that are awkward — or impossible — to reach by hand. Motorized shades solve that with a tap, a schedule, or a voice command, dropping automatically against the harsh afternoon sun and rising again to open up the water view.
They are especially valuable for the key\u2019s many seasonal and second homes: shades can run on a schedule while you are away, protecting floors and furnishings and giving the lived-in look of an occupied home. See our pricing policy for how we quote motorization.
Automated comfort for beach-island glass
The reasons motorized shades are a favorite for Siesta Key condos and second homes.
Control from anywhere
Raise or lower shades from a remote, wall keypad, phone app, or voice — even when you are back up north and the condo is empty.
Beat the Gulf sun
Schedule shades to lower automatically during peak western glare so rooms stay cool and floors and art are protected.
Away-from-home scheduling
Perfect for seasonal homes — shades move on a natural schedule to protect interiors and suggest the home is occupied.
Safe & cordless
No cords means a cleaner look and a safer choice for family and grandkids visiting the beach house.
Built for tall glass
We size and group motors for the sliders, transoms, and two-story window walls common in Gulf-front condos.
Programmed by locals
A family-owned Gulf Coast studio measures, installs, and programs every system in person — including Lutron integration.
What we consider for Siesta Key motorized projects
Barrier-island glass and seasonal living shape the right motorization plan — we design for it up front.
Hard-to-reach condo glass
For floor-to-ceiling sliders and transoms we group motors so an entire wall of glass moves together with one command.
Seasonal & rental homes
We set up schedules and app access so you can manage the shades remotely while the home is empty between visits.
Power & wiring
We recommend rechargeable-battery or hardwired motors per room, so there is a clean solution whether or not you are renovating.
Smart-home integration
Many key homes already run smart-home systems; we integrate shades with Lutron and voice assistants for one-tap scenes.
What Siesta Key homeowners say about their motorized shades
We had a great experience working with Nick on our plantation shutters and smart drapes. He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and really knew his products. Everything turned out beautifully and we couldn’t be happier with how it all looks in our home. The smart drapes are especially amazing! Highly recommend Nick and his team!

Great experience with Sarasota Window Blinds. They were professional, easy to work with, and did a great job from start to finish. Everything turned out great and the quality of the work really shows. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for window treatments.

Motorized shade questions from Siesta Key homeowners
Can I control my Siesta Key shades while I’m up north?
Yes. With app-based control and a bridge, you can raise, lower, and schedule your shades from anywhere — ideal for seasonal homes so you can protect interiors and give a lived-in look while away.
Do motorized shades need to be hardwired?
Not necessarily. Rechargeable-battery motors work beautifully and install without construction, while hardwired motors are great during a renovation. We recommend the right approach per room.
Will they work on my floor-to-ceiling sliders?
Absolutely. Tall glass and sliders are exactly where motorization earns its keep. We size and group the motors so entire walls of glass operate together with one tap.
Can you integrate with Lutron or my smart home?
Yes. We regularly install and program Lutron systems and integrate shades with existing smart-home and voice platforms so they join your scenes and schedules.
Is the in-home consultation really free?
Yes. A designer comes to your Siesta Key home or condo, measures every opening, shows you motor and fabric options, and leaves you with a clear written quote at no cost and no obligation.
