Motorized Blinds & Smart Shades We Install
We install every major motorized window treatment system available in the market today:
PRemote-controlled blinds and shades are a great choice when you want simple control without a full smart home setup. A handheld remote can operate one window, one room, or multiple groups of shades. This is especially useful for tall windows, sliding glass doors, bedrooms, living rooms, and windows behind furniture.
2. App and Voice-Controlled Smart Shades
For homeowners who want full smart home convenience, we install motorized shades that can connect with compatible app and voice-control systems. Depending on the selected motor and hub, your shades may be controlled from a phone, scheduled by time of day, or connected with voice assistants such as Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit.
3. Battery-Operated and Hardwired Motor Options
Battery-operated motorized shades are ideal for existing homes because they usually do not require new electrical wiring. Hardwired motorized shades are a strong option for remodels, new construction, large homes, and projects where you want a permanent low-maintenance setup. During your consultation, we help you compare both options based on window size, access, budget, and long-term use.
4. Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit Compatibility
Depending on the motor system selected, your shades may be compatible with popular smart home platforms. This can allow voice commands, app control, automation routines, and room-based scenes. For example, you may create a morning scene that opens selected shades or an evening scene that lowers them for privacy.
Create Alexa Routines that close all shades when you say ‘Alexa, goodnight’ or open them at a set time every morning. Works with Echo Dot, Echo Show, and all Alexa-enabled devices.
All our motorized systems support Google Home integration. Use voice commands, create Google Home automations triggered by time, location (arriving/leaving home), or sunrise/sunset. Works with Google Nest speakers, Nest Hub displays, and Android devices.
5. Somfy and Lutron Motorized Shade Systems
We install reliable motorized shade systems, including options from well-known manufacturers such as Somfy and Lutron. These systems are popular for homeowners who want smooth operation, quiet motors, dependable controls, and scalable automation for multiple rooms. All Somfy & Lutron systems we install are Alexa-certified.
6. Motorized Roller, Cellular & Blackout Shades
Motorized roller shades offer a clean, modern look and work well in living rooms, kitchens, offices, and open floor plans. They are available in light-filtering, solar, and blackout fabrics depending on how much privacy and sunlight control you want.
Motorized cellular shades are a strong option for homeowners who want insulation and energy efficiency. Their honeycomb structure helps reduce heat transfer, making them useful for sunny San Jose windows that receive strong afternoon light.
Motorized blackout shades are ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms, and shift workers who need stronger room-darkening performance. Add scheduled closing at night and opening in the morning for a more comfortable daily routine.
7. Motorized Blinds for Large or Hard-to-Reach Windows
Large windows, high windows, and windows behind furniture are some of the best candidates for motorization. Instead of pulling cords or reaching across furniture, you can control the window covering with a remote, switch, app, or automated schedule.
Our 3-Step Motorized Blinds & Shades Installation Process
1
In-Home Consultation and Measuring
We start with an in-home consultation where we review your windows, measure carefully, discuss your preferred style, and identify the best motorization options. We also ask how you want to control your shades: remote, wall switch, app, voice assistant, schedule, or smart home scene.
2
Product Selection and Motor Planning
Next, we help you choose the right shade type, fabric opacity, color, motor type, power source, and control setup. For battery-powered systems, we explain charging or battery replacement needs. For hardwired systems, we review installation requirements and coordinate the right approach for a clean result.

Installation, Programming and Walkthrough
Our installers mount your motorized blinds or shades, test movement, set upper and lower limits, pair remotes or apps when applicable, and walk you through the controls before leaving. We make sure the shades operate smoothly and that you feel comfortable using the system..

Do you install motorized blinds and smart shades in San Jose?
Yes. We install custom motorized blinds and smart shades for homes and businesses throughout San Jose, CA. We help with measuring, product selection, motor options, installation, programming, and control setup.
Are there warranties on your motorized systems?
Yes. Our motorized blinds include manufacturer warranties on motors and fabrics, plus our installation services carry a satisfaction guarantee.
Can you service or repair existing motorized blinds?
Yes. We repair and maintain motorized blind systems, from troubleshooting motor faults to replacing damaged components, restoring smooth, safe operation.
How long does a motorized blinds installation take?
Most installations are completed within a day, depending on project size. Our team works efficiently while upholding high standards for quality and safety.
Do your motorized shades work with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit?
Yes, all of them. Every motorized system we install (Somfy, Lutron Caseta, Hunter Douglas PowerView) is fully compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. We handle the hub setup and smart home pairing during installation. When we leave, every shade responds to voice commands and appears in your smart home app.
How much do motorized blinds cost in San Jose?
Motorized blinds in San Jose range from $150 per window for battery-operated roller shades to $1,500+ per window for Hunter Douglas PowerView systems. Somfy-powered shades typically run $300–$800 per window, and Lutron Caseta integrations $400–$900. All pricing includes free in-home measuring, motor and hub programming, smart home integration setup, and a complete hands-on demonstration before we leave. A full written itemised quote is provided before any order is placed.
Do I need an electrician for motorized window shades in San Jose?
Not for battery-operated systems. Battery motors are a true retrofit, no wiring, no electrician, no wall penetration required. They’re our most popular option for existing San Jose homes. For hardwired motorized systems, required for high-torque applications, new construction, and full Lutron RadioRA integrations, low-voltage wiring is needed. We can coordinate with your electrician or recommend one if needed.
Are motorized shades good for large or hard-to-reach windows?
Yes. Large windows, tall windows, and windows behind furniture are excellent candidates for motorized shades. You can control them with a remote, wall switch, app, voice assistant, or automated schedule instead of adjusting them manually.
How long do battery motorized shades last between charges?
Most rechargeable battery motors last 6–18 months between charges. A shade operated twice daily will last significantly longer than one running automated sunrise/sunset schedules multiple times per day. Recharging takes 4–6 hours via a magnetic USB wand, no disassembly or shade removal required. Some Somfy motors support an optional solar charging strip that keeps the battery topped up continuously on south-facing windows.
Can I schedule my shades to open and close automatically?
Yes. Many motorized shade systems allow scheduled opening and closing. Homeowners often schedule shades to open in the morning, close during strong afternoon sun, or lower at night for privacy.
Can you retrofit motorized motors onto my existing blinds or shades?
Generally, no, motorized window treatments are purpose-built from the factory with the motor tube integrated into the shade. However, add-on battery motors can sometimes be retrofitted onto existing roller shade tubes, depending on the tube diameter. We assess retrofit feasibility during the free in-home consultation at no charge. If retrofit isn’t possible, we’ll give you an honest comparison of new motorized shades vs your existing manual treatments.
