Motorized Shades & Blinds in Raymore, MO
Motorized shades and motorized blinds run themselves in a Raymore home while you're at work. Raymore families leave early for the drive north on I-49 and get home when the west sun is on the couch, and our Solar Shield Blinds Smart Shades close on a schedule while you're gone, with no cords for the kids and no wiring in the walls.
Where It Fits In Raymore
Where motorized shades fit in Raymore
Long commutes, kids in every room, and full sun on the west glass all make a case for shades that run on their own, and a house still under construction is the easiest one to plan for them.
- The I-49 commuteSet the west shades to close before the afternoon sun comes across the open ground. The great room is cooler when you get home and nobody had to be there.
- New builds, hardwiredIn a house still being built off MO 58, hardwired motors can be planned before the drywall goes up, so every window can be on the system from the start.
- Cordless kids' roomsA motorized shade has no cord or loop. The kids' rooms run from a wall switch or your phone, and nothing hangs within reach of a crib.
- Two story entriesThe transom and stair windows over a Raymore entry are out of reach. A motor with a solar panel or a rechargeable battery puts them on the remote with no ladder.
Worth Knowing
Motors for a family house, with or without wiring
Plenty of Raymore households commute up I-49 into Kansas City, and the house sits empty while the west sun comes across the open ground and heats up the great room. Automation takes care of that while you're gone. Solar Shield Blinds Smart Shades run on a schedule, so the west shades close at three and open at seven without anyone home, and the app on your phone lets you check or change them from work. In a house full of kids, a motorized shade also means no cord in any room.
The choice is rechargeable or hardwired. In an existing house, rechargeable motors go in with no wiring, no electrician and no drywall patching, and you charge them every 6 to 9 months. In a new build still under construction off MO 58 or in Creekmoor, hardwired motors in low voltage or 110 volt can be planned in before the walls close. Either way, the shades work with a remote, the app, wall switches and voice through Alexa, Google or Siri, with schedules and scenes for morning, movie time and away.
A motor adds cost to each shade, so we don't put one on every window in a family house. In Raymore we recommend motors on the west facing great room glass, the two story entry windows and the patio slider, with Cordless Lift on the bedrooms and baths, and your Design Specialist prices it window by window. For most products, a motor starts around $180 more than a cordless lift. The consultation is free, the quote holds for 180 days, and our Install Techs set up the remote and the app with you.

Straight Answers
Automation questions from Raymore homeowners
Yes. Set a schedule in the app and the west shades close before the afternoon sun comes across the field behind your house, then open before you're home from I-49. You can check and change them from your phone during the day, and a scene groups several shades to one tap.
Yes, it's the best time. Hardwired motors go in before the drywall closes, so every window can be on the system with nothing to recharge. We'll plan the openings with you and hold the price on your quote for 180 days while the house goes up.
Yes, there's no cord, loop or wand on the shade at all. The room runs from a wall switch, a remote kept out of reach, or your phone. Cordless Lift is the other child safe choice, and many houses mix the two.
No. Rechargeable motors are what we install in existing Raymore homes. Most of our products have internal batteries and need no outlet at the window, and a solar panel is an option on a window that faces east, west or south.
Yes, and it's one of the best uses. A wide slider to a west facing patio is a good fit for a motorized Roller Shade, so it closes for the evening glare without anyone pulling a chain past the handle. Exterior Patio Shades and Retractable Awnings can run from the same remote and app.
Yes. Motorized shades are covered by our Carefree Guarantee, with a Lifetime Product warranty and our Five Year Service Guarantee on defects. Motors are also easier to maintain over the life of the shade, because nobody pulls on the fabric or the mechanism.
