Motorized Shades and Blinds in Sarasota, FL

Motorized Blinds and Shades in Sarasota

Motorization makes tall, wide, and hard-to-reach windows easy to manage. It's useful in two-story great rooms, over stairways and tubs, and on the large sliding doors and window walls common in Sarasota-area homes.

Why homeowners choose motorization

• Raise or lower several shades at once.

• Reach windows over stairways, above doors, or in two-story rooms.

• Close shades against the afternoon sun without walking room to room.

• A clean look with no cords.

What Can Be Motorized?

Most of our products can be motorized:

• Motorized roller and solar shades: glare control on big windows and lanai doors.

• Motorized cellular and Roman shades: insulation or a tailored look, without cords.

• Motorized blinds: tilt and lift control on hard-to-reach windows.

• Motorized drapes and sheers: smooth opening on wide openings.

We'll go over what works for each window.

Are Motorized Blinds Worth It?

It depends on your home. Motorization makes the most sense for windows that are hard to reach, for rooms with many windows you adjust every day, and for anyone who wants phone control. For a small window you can easily reach, a manual or cordless option may be all you need. We'll give you an honest recommendation for each room.

What Affects the Cost of Motorized Shades?

We don't quote prices without seeing your windows, because cost depends on:

• the number and size of the windows,

• the product and fabric,

• the type of motor and power,

• remote, phone, or smart-home control,

• whether it's an existing home or new construction.

A free in-home consultation gives you a quote based on your actual windows.
