Yes! We offer motorized and automated shades that can be integrated with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, and other smart home systems such as Control4, Savant, Josh, Philips Hue, SmartThings, and more! From remote control convenience to app scheduling for energy efficiency, we’ll help you find the perfect tech-forward solution.
The newest trend in window treatments is smart motorized shades, automated solutions that integrate with your smart home system for voice or app control. Homeowners are also leaning into layered looks combining textures like sheer curtains over roller shades, and natural materials like bamboo and woven woods for an organic, earthy vibe. Energy-efficient designs, like solar shades, and cordless options for child safety are also rising in popularity. Corded blinds are no longer the standard, modern window treatments now favor cordless and automated solutions for improved safety and aesthetics.
Outdoor shades are popular because they provide sun and bug protection, privacy, wind control, they reduce rain entering the patio, and control temperature while extending the comfort of your outdoor living space. They reduce glare, block harmful UV rays, and have a clean and professional appeal, all while maintaining airflow. Motorization is key for added convenience and style.
Because our window treatments are custom-made to fit your home, they are not eligible for return once production begins. However, we stand behind the quality of our products and will work with you to resolve any issues related to manufacturing defects or installation concerns. Your satisfaction is our priority.
Most of our window treatments come with a limited lifetime warranty provided by our trusted manufacturing partners, covering defects in materials, workmanship, and operating mechanisms under normal use. Motorized components and specialty features may have separate coverage terms, typically five to ten years. We’ll review all warranty details during your consultation to ensure you understand exactly what’s protected.
With proper care, high-quality custom window treatments can last 10 to 20 years or more. Most homeowners replace their window coverings every 7-10 years. Durability depends on the product type, materials, usage, and sun exposure. We recommend replacement around the 10-year mark, simply because style and design change over time, and fabrics start looking dingy.
Cellular shades are the most effective for insulation, thanks to their honeycomb design that traps air. Thermal-lined Roman or roller shades, plantation shutters, and layered drapery also offer excellent energy efficiency. For added protection in warm climates, consider exterior solar shades or awnings.
