Frequently Asked Questions

What are motorized shades?

Motorized shades are window coverings powered by a motor instead of manual cords or chains. They can be controlled by remote, wall switch, app, or integrated smart-home system.

Are motorized shades worth it?

Yes. Motorized shades are a strong upgrade for NYC homes and apartments because they provide convenience, cleaner operation, and a more modern finished look. They are especially useful for tall windows, large openings, and hard-to-reach areas.

Can motorized shades be installed on existing windows?

Yes. Most existing windows can be fitted with motorized shades, including battery-powered or hardwired setups depending on the project.

Do motorized shades work with smart-home systems?

Yes. Many motorized shades can integrate with systems such as Alexa, Google Home, and other smart-home controls depending on the motor and control platform.

Do you install motorized shades in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan?

Yes. We install motorized shades throughout Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Long Island, Hoboken, and surrounding areas.

Do you program and troubleshoot motorized shades?

Yes. We handle motorized shade setup, remote programming, troubleshooting, and system support for many common shade systems.

How much do motorized shades cost in NYC?

In NYC, custom motorized shades typically run from about $650–$1,200 per window for standard sizes on Lutron, Somfy, or Rollease Acmeda motors, and $1,500+ per window for oversized, blackout, or fully integrated smart-home installs. Every quote includes in-home measurement, fabrication, installation, and motor programming.

Which motorized shade brand is best for a NYC apartment?

For NYC apartments and co-ops, we most often recommend Lutron (best whole-home smart-home integration), Somfy (best for retrofits with rechargeable-battery motors and no rewiring), and Rollease Acmeda Automate (best value with whisper-quiet operation). As a Hunter Douglas Certified installer, we also specify PowerView for premium fabric collections.

How long does motorized shade installation take in NYC?

Most NYC motorized shade installations take 1–3 hours for a single room and a half- to full day for a whole apartment, depending on access, mounting type, and how many shades are being programmed and grouped to one remote or app.
