Motorized Shades & Blinds in Shawnee, KS
Motorized shades and blinds take care of the windows in a Shawnee home that nobody can reach. The top row of glass in a 1990s two story family room sits well above any chain, and our Solar Shield Blinds Smart Shades raise and lower it from a remote, an app, a wall switch or your voice.
Where It Fits In Shawnee
Where motorized shades fit in a Shawnee home
Motors earn their cost on tall glass, wide sliders, and any room that needs closing at the same time every day.
- Two story family roomsThe upper windows in a Woodsonia or Lakepointe family room are out of reach from the floor. A rechargeable motor puts them on a remote with no wiring.
- West glass on a walkout lotHomes in Clear Creek and Canyon Lakes face long views with glass on two levels. A schedule brings every west shade down before the late sun reaches the TV.
- Wide slidersPut a motor on the Roller Shade over a wide slider and one button lifts it clear of the door, with no chain to haul.
- Anyone who can't reachFor a family member who can't lean over a sink or lift a wide shade, a remote by the chair does the work.
Worth Knowing
Rechargeable motors, schedules and voice control in Shawnee
Whatever product you choose, we can motorize it: Roller Shades, Honeycomb Shades, Banded Shades, Natural Woven Shades, blinds, shutters, drapery, and the exterior patio shades and awnings too. Solar Shield Blinds Smart Shades run from a remote, the app on a phone or tablet, a wire free wall switch, or your voice through Alexa, Google and Siri. A schedule lowers the west shades on a walkout before the evening sun, and a scene closes the whole front of the house with one tap.
The first question in a finished house is wiring, and rechargeable motors need none. Most of our products have internal batteries that you charge every 6 to 9 months, which takes 4 to 6 hours, so nothing has to go through the drywall of a 1990s family room. Hardwired motors make sense on a new build west of K-7 while the walls are still open, or on a large job with many windows, and a solar panel can keep a high shade charged.
A motor adds to the cost of each shade, and on a small bedroom window you reach easily, Cordless Lift does the job for less, so we'll tell you which windows are worth it. The consultation is free, your quote holds for 180 days, and motorized interior shades are installed 4 to 6 weeks after you order. Our Install Techs pair every motor, set up the app and the first schedule, and run every shade with you before they leave.

Straight Answers
Automation questions from Shawnee homeowners
No, not with rechargeable motors. The battery sits inside the shade, charges every 6 to 9 months, and pairs with a remote or the app. Hardwired motors belong in a new build or a big multi window job.
Yes. A rechargeable motor installs like a manual shade, so the top windows in a finished family room can go on a remote with no wall work at all.
Yes. Our Smart Shades work with all three, and you can also use the app, a remote or a wall switch. None of those need a smart home system to work.
Yes. Set the west shades to come down before the late sun and go back up after it sets, and they'll do it every day whether you're home or not. You can change the schedule in the app from anywhere.
A single remote handles up to 15 shades, and adding a bridge takes it to 30. A single press can move every shade in an open living space, and a scene lines them up at the same height.
Yes. Our full time Install Techs pair each motor, set up the app on your phone, build the first schedule with you, and run every shade before they leave. They're employees, not subcontractors.
