If you have been pricing motorized blinds in Seattle, you have probably noticed that most companies talk about everything except the actual numbers. This guide fixes that. Below are the real installed price ranges we quote Seattle homeowners in 2026, what makes the price move up or down, and where motorization is genuinely worth the money. Every figure includes professional measuring and installation, because that is how most people actually buy.
Here is what motorized window treatments typically cost per window in the Seattle area, measured and installed:
Most Seattle homes we work in land between $800 and $1,400 per window once size, fabric, and power options are settled. A standard bedroom window with a motorized roller shade sits near the low end. A wide picture window in a Kirkland or Mercer Island living room with a designer fabric sits at the top.
Five things decide where you land inside those ranges:
Most Seattle installs now use rechargeable battery motors. You charge them with a small wand once or twice a year, and there is no wiring involved, which keeps installation simple in finished homes. Hardwired power makes the most sense during new construction or a remodel when walls are already open. It adds electrician cost up front, but the shades never need charging. Plain replaceable-battery motors still exist at the entry level, though most homeowners find rechargeable worth the small difference.
Every motorized shade we install works from a remote out of the box. Adding a hub, typically around $300 once for the whole house, unlocks phone control, schedules, and voice control through Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home. Seattle homes get real use out of scheduling: west-facing rooms can drop their shades automatically during late summer evenings, then open again for gray winter mornings to pull in every bit of daylight. You can see how the system works on our PowerView automation page.
Motorizing a full main floor of 8 to 10 windows typically runs $6,000 to $15,000 depending on products chosen. Very few clients do the whole house at once. The common path is to start with the 3 or 4 windows you touch every day, usually the living room and primary bedroom, which lands around $2,500 to $5,000, then add rooms later on the same system. Everything stays on one app and one remote.
The $200 to $400 DIY tube motors sold online look tempting. In practice they are loud, they fight fabrics they were not designed for, batteries fade quickly, and nobody stands behind the result. A purpose-built motorized shade is measured to your window, matched to the right motor, installed by our crew, and covered by the manufacturer warranty with local service behind it. This is a buy-once category.
Ranges are honest, but your windows are specific. We measure and quote in one free visit anywhere in the greater Seattle area, including Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Sammamish, Lynnwood, Ballard, and West Seattle.

For hard-to-reach windows, large windows, and rooms you adjust daily, yes. Owners use motorized shades far more than corded ones, which means the light control and energy benefits actually get used.
Rechargeable motors typically run 6 to 12 months per charge depending on shade size and how often it moves. Charging takes a couple of hours with the included wand.
Sometimes, if they are a compatible product line in good condition. Often the honest answer is that a new motorized shade costs little more than a quality retrofit and works far better. We will tell you which case yours is.
They are one of the few window treatments buyers notice in a showing. Paired with smart home control they read as an upgrade, especially in newer Eastside homes.
Every range in this guide includes professional measuring and installation. There is no separate install fee to add on top.
