Custom window coverings
We help you balance convenience and aesthetics for your motorized shades. A hardwired setup offers reliable performance for high windows, while battery power provides flexibility for retrofits. Tell us how you use the room so we can recommend the best path.
You will need to reach your shade to charge the battery periodically. If your windows are high or behind furniture, choosing a rechargeable motor might be inconvenient.
Let us find a location that keeps charging simple.
A plug-in transformer or hardwired connection keeps your shades powered without the need for charging. We identify the right power requirements for your specific choice so the setup works seamlessly with your window frame and room layout.
We coordinate wiring paths during new construction to keep your walls clean. For finished rooms, we help you choose rechargeable systems to avoid opening drywall.
We focus on the result that best fits your specific home.
Planning details
Begin by choosing the look and weight of your covering. Roller shades and drapery have different power needs, and we help you match the right system to your choice.
We separate power and controls to ensure reliable performance.
Think about where the battery pack will sit when the room is fully furnished. A hidden battery is sleek, but it must remain reachable for you.
We ensure your charging plan accounts for the full window environment.
We handle the specifications so you can focus on the look of your shades. We ensure that any power components remain accessible for future maintenance, keeping your room tidy while ensuring your system stays reliable for daily use.
Review both battery and hardwired quotes for the same window to see which fits your needs. We provide the details for your chosen controls so you feel comfortable and ready to operate your shades from day one.
Before you choose
Battery and wired systems each serve a purpose depending on your room. We guide you through the pros and cons of each to ensure your motorized shades perform exactly how you expect them to for years to come.

Battery life depends on your shade size and daily usage. A heavy drapery panel uses more power than a small roller. We help you plan for accessible charging points so you are never surprised when your battery needs a boost.
Not usually. Even with a hardwired motor, your control signal is often wireless. This means you can use a wall switch or handheld remote without messy cables. We confirm your control and electrical setup early for a clean look.
Only if the outlet provides the correct voltage for your specific motor. A plug that fits does not guarantee a safe, compatible connection. We inspect your site to determine if an existing outlet is suitable for your new shades.
Hardwired systems are simple and reliable for new homes. Battery options offer more flexibility if you prefer a different approach.
A solar charger is only an option if your window receives enough natural light and the motor supports it. Do not assume solar replaces all charging for every window. We check your window orientation to see if it works.
Yes, your power type does not limit your smart-home options. A battery motor can be controlled by a simple remote or integrated into a full home automation system. We ensure your package includes the features you need for your lifestyle.
