Motorized Shades & Blinds in Belton, MO
Motorized shades and motorized blinds close on their own in a Belton home while you're at work. By the time you drive home up I-49, the west windows have been heating the family room for hours, and our Solar Shield Blinds Smart Shades come down in the early afternoon on a schedule and open again in the evening.
Where It Fits In Belton
Where motorized shades fit in a Belton home
Motors make sense on the tall glass in the newer homes, on any window you can't reach, and for a family that leaves at seven and gets home at six.
- Two story great roomsThe newer homes on Belton's edges have windows above the first floor that are hard to reach. A rechargeable motor puts them on a schedule with no wiring.
- An empty house all dayOpen lots take full sun from noon on. Shades that close on a schedule while you're at work keep a ranch cooler by the time you pull in off MO 58.
- Patio doors and slidersA motorized Roller Shade on the slider to an uncovered patio clears the door with one button instead of a heavy pull on a chain.
- Windows that are hard to reachA motor helps anyone in the family who can't reach the window over the kitchen sink or lift a wide shade by hand, with a remote by the chair.
Worth Knowing
Rechargeable motors, schedules and voice control for Belton homes
No matter what product you want, we can automate it. Roller Shades, Honeycomb Shades, Banded Shades, Natural Woven Shades, blinds, shutters, drapery, and even the exterior patio shades and awnings can all be motorized. Solar Shield Blinds Smart Shades run from a remote, the app on your phone or tablet, a wire free wall switch, or your voice, and they work with Alexa, Google and Siri. Schedules bring the west shades down before the afternoon sun hits the family room, and scenes let one tap close the whole front of a ranch at dusk.
The first question we hear in an existing house is about wiring, and rechargeable motors need none. Most of our products have internal batteries, and you charge them every 6 to 9 months, which takes 4 to 6 hours. Nothing has to run through a finished wall in a 1970s split level. Hardwired motors make sense on a new build going up on the edge of town or a large install with many windows, and a solar panel can charge a shade on a high window.
A motor adds to the cost of each shade, and on a small bedroom window you can reach easily, Cordless Lift does the job for less, so we'll tell you where a motor makes sense. A rechargeable motor on most of our products starts at around $180 more than the same shade with a cordless lift. The consultation is free, your quote holds for 180 days, and our Install Techs set up the app and the schedules and run every shade with you before they leave.

Straight Answers
Automation questions from Belton homeowners
No. Rechargeable motors need no wiring at all, which is the answer for almost every existing house we work in around Belton. The battery sits inside the shade, charges every 6 to 9 months, and connects to a remote or the app. Hardwired motors are for new builds and large installs.
Yes, on a schedule. Set the west shades to close in the early afternoon and open in the evening, and the family room stays cooler while nobody's home. You can change the schedule from the app wherever you are.
Yes. Our Smart Shades work with Alexa, Google and Siri, so "Alexa, open my shades" works from the couch. You can also use the app, a remote and wall switches, and you don't need a smart home system for any of those to work.
For most windows in a three bedroom Belton ranch, Cordless Lift or PowerWand does the job for less. A motor makes the most sense on the wide living room window, the slider to the patio, and anything up high in a newer two story, and the itemized quote lets you put a motor only where you need it.
A single remote runs up to 15 shades, or up to 30 when you add a bridge. One push of a button can move every shade in an open living space, and a scene lines up shades side by side at the same height.
Yes. Our full time Install Techs pair every motor, set up the app on your phone, build the first schedule with you, and run every shade in the house before they leave. They're employees, not subcontractors.
