Lutron Serena, Somfy, and Hunter Douglas PowerView shades installed and integrated with your smart home. Open at sunrise. Close at sunset. Block the afternoon sun with a voice command. Wake up to natural light on a schedule.
Motorized window shade installation in Lancaster PA runs $400–$900 per room for a single-room setup including equipment and installation. Whole-home systems covering 8–15 windows typically run $2,000–$3,500+. Battery-powered motors are the most common for existing homes — no wiring required. Hardwired motors are available for new construction. We integrate every shade system with your smart home platform so shades become part of your morning routine, movie night, and energy management — not just remote-controlled blinds.
From a single blackout shade in a bedroom to a whole-home system that responds to time, temperature, and your daily routine.
Motorized roller or cellular shade on one or two windows in a bedroom, living room, or office. Controlled by a remote, app, or voice. Battery-powered motor — no wall wiring needed. We mount the hardware, program the limits, and connect to your app.
Every window in the house on a single app and voice control. Grouped by floor, room, or sun exposure. One scene closes everything at sunset. Another opens the east side at 7am for your morning routine. We design the groupings, install, and program everything.
Motorized blackout shades for bedrooms — room-darkening fabric that blocks 95–99% of light, on a schedule that matches your sleep routine. Open at your wake time, close when you go to bed. Paired with Lutron Serena, they can integrate with your whole-home lighting scenes.
Lutron Serena shades pair natively with Lutron Caseta smart lighting, creating unified scenes where shades and lighting adjust together. "Movie Mode" dims the lights to 20% and closes the shades. "Good Morning" opens the east-facing shades and brings lights to 80%. Best choice if you already have or are planning Lutron Caseta lighting.
If you're building or renovating and the walls are still open — now is the time to rough-in low-voltage wiring for hardwired motorized shades. Hardwired motors never need charging and have higher torque for large or heavy shades. We work alongside your builder to run wiring to each window location before drywall closes.
Shades and thermostat working together for real energy savings. When your Ecobee detects the home approaching temperature limits on a hot afternoon, the west-facing shades close automatically — reducing solar heat gain before the AC kicks in harder. We configure this cross-system automation on homes with compatible thermostats and shade systems.
We consult on fabric type and brand based on your rooms and smart home ecosystem — no charge for the recommendation. You don't pay until the right shades are ordered and installed.
A single-room motorized shade setup (one or two windows, battery motor, app and remote control) runs $400–$800 for equipment and installation. Whole-home systems covering 8–15 windows run $2,000–$3,500+. Lutron Serena shades are $200–$400 per window plus installation labor. New construction pre-wire for hardwired motors is significantly less expensive than retrofitting walls. We give you an itemized quote before any work begins.
Lutron Serena for homes with Lutron Caseta lighting — they share a common app and create unified lighting + shade scenes. Somfy-powered shades for the widest fabric and blackout selection, controlled via the Somfy TaHoma bridge. Hunter Douglas PowerView for premium build quality and native Apple HomeKit support. We match the brand to your existing smart home ecosystem so everything integrates cleanly without a separate hub for every system.
Battery-powered motors are the standard for retrofits and existing homes — they require no wall wiring, are non-invasive to install, and quality motors (Lutron Serena, Somfy) last 6–24 months per charge depending on window size and daily use. Hardwired motors are available for new construction or major renovations where walls are open — they never need charging and have more torque for larger or heavier shades. We recommend based on your window situation.
Yes — with the right brand. Lutron Serena shades work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home through the Lutron Smart Bridge. Hunter Douglas PowerView has native HomeKit support. Somfy shades integrate via the TaHoma bridge with Alexa and Google. We configure everything during installation and set up the voice commands, scenes, and schedules you want. Shades can be included in routines like "Good Night" (all shades close, lights off) or "Movie Mode" (shades close, lights dim).
Energy savings are measurable — closing south and west-facing shades during summer afternoons reduces solar heat gain by 15–25%, cutting your cooling load before the AC has to compensate. Blackout shades on a schedule improve sleep quality without you having to remember to close them. Privacy automations close shades at sunset automatically. UV protection for furniture and flooring is significant over years of sun exposure. Large windows and high windows that are impractical to reach manually become the most dramatic quality-of-life improvement.
Yes — battery-powered motorized shades are a retrofit-friendly installation that works with virtually any existing window. We mount the shade hardware to your existing window frame or install a new headrail, add the motor, connect to the bridge or hub, and configure the app and smart home integration in a single visit. No drywall work, no wiring runs, no mess beyond the installation hardware itself.
