Frequently Asked Questions

How much do motorized blinds cost in Seattle?

Most motorized shades run $700 to $2,500 per window installed, depending on the product and fabric. Most Seattle homes land between $800 and $1,400 per window. We published a full breakdown in our motorized blinds pricing guide, and a free consultation gets you an exact quote.

Do motorized blinds need an electrician?

Usually not. Most installs use rechargeable battery motors that charge once or twice a year with a small wand. Hardwired power is an option worth considering during new construction or a remodel.

Can motorized shades work with Alexa, Google Home, or Apple Home?

Yes. With a smart hub added, PowerView shades respond to voice commands, phone control, and schedules, so west-facing rooms can close on their own during evening sun.

How long do the batteries last?

Typically 6 to 12 months per charge depending on shade size and how often it moves. Charging takes a couple of hours and the shade stays mounted.

Can you motorize blinds I already own?

Sometimes, if they are a compatible product line in good condition. Often a new motorized shade costs little more than a quality retrofit and works far better. We will tell you honestly which case yours is.
