Smart Home

The easiest upgrade you will use every single day

Motorization turns your shades into something you actually interact with — a single tap lowers every shade in a room, and a simple schedule lets them follow the Florida sun so your home stays cool and glare-free without a thought. It is the upgrade our clients tell us they notice most.

We motorize nearly every treatment we carry, from roller and cellular shades to sheers and Roman shades. Whether you want to automate one hard-to-reach transom or an entire home of tall, sun-facing glass, we specify the right motor, power source, and control for each opening.

Why Homeowners Choose Them

The benefits of motorized shades

One-touch convenience

Raise or lower a whole room at once by remote, wall keypad, app, or voice — no cords, no reaching.

Sun-following schedules

Program shades to close against the harsh afternoon sun and open to the morning light automatically.

Safe & clean

No operating cords means a safer home for children and pets and a clean, uninterrupted look.

Made for tall & wide glass

Ideal for high transoms, two-story windows, and expansive sliders that are impractical to operate by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Motorized Shades — Answered

How are motorized shades powered?

Most retrofits use quiet rechargeable battery motors that need charging only occasionally. In new construction and remodels we can plan hardwired power for a fully integrated, maintenance-free result.

Can I control shades when I am away?

Yes. With an app bridge you can operate shades and adjust schedules from anywhere, which is ideal for seasonal residents who want their home to look lived-in.

What is the difference between motorized shades and your Lutron page?

This page covers motorization across all of our shade types. Our Lutron page focuses specifically on designing a Lutron system for whole-home shade, light, and scene control.

What types of shades can be motorized?

Roller, cellular/honeycomb, sheer, zebra, Roman, and drapery can all be motorized. We match the right motor and control system to your chosen product.

What power options are available for motorized shades?

Choose rechargeable battery motors for easy retrofits, plug-in motors, or hardwired motors for a permanent, hidden solution best planned during construction or remodeling.

Can I control motorized shades by voice?

Yes. Our systems integrate with major voice assistants and smart-home platforms so you can operate shades hands-free or by app, remote, or keypad.

Can motorized shades run on a schedule or sun sensor?

Yes. You can automate shades by time of day or with sensors that respond to the sun, improving comfort, privacy, and energy efficiency automatically.

Are motorized shades quiet enough for bedrooms?

Yes. Modern motors are engineered to be very quiet, and premium systems are especially whisper-quiet for bedrooms and media rooms.

How reliable is the technology?

Very reliable when properly specified and installed. Premium systems like Lutron are known for rock-solid performance, and we handle setup and integration for you.

Can I group multiple shades to one control?

Yes. You can control a whole room or the entire home from a single remote, keypad, or app scene — convenient for large glass and open-concept spaces.

Do motorized shades add resale appeal?

Smart, motorized shades are a sought-after convenience and energy feature, especially in the upscale Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch market.

Can motorized shades be retrofitted into my existing home?

Yes. Battery-powered motors make it easy to add motorization without new wiring, so you can upgrade existing rooms cleanly.

Why choose motorized shades for tall or hard-to-reach windows?

Motorization is the safest, most practical way to operate high clerestory, stairwell, and two-story windows that you cannot comfortably reach by hand.
