Frequently asked
Can every blind be motorized?
No, not every blind fits. We check your hardware to ensure a motor will work safely and reliably. If your current system is not suitable, we recommend a new product.
Can I keep my existing fabric?
We can often keep your fabric if the shade is in good condition. We assess your roller and material to ensure it fits with a new motor.
Can my drapery track be motorized?
Most manual tracks are not built for motors. We usually replace the track while keeping your beautiful fabric, ensuring your curtains open and close smoothly every time.
Can I get app control?
Yes, we can add a hub to your motorized system. We ensure your motor is compatible so you can enjoy simple, reliable app or voice control.
Is a retrofit cheaper?
It depends on your current hardware. If your shade is in excellent shape, it can be a great value. If repairs are needed, a new motorized shade is often more effective.
Can you motorize a high window?
Yes, we plan the power source so you can maintain it easily. If access is difficult, we recommend a solar or hardwired solution for simple ownership.
Does a motor fix a jam?
No, a motor will not fix a jammed shade. We must repair the mechanism first so your shade moves freely. Forcing a motor on a jam causes more damage.
