Motorized blinds that open, close, and schedule themselves
Quiet battery, solar or hardwired motors on any blind or shade — controlled by remote, app or voice, and installed by the team that measured it.
Sized to fabric weight and width, not a one-size retrofit kit.
A power source for every window, wired or not.
One system controls a single shade or an entire home.
Every window measured before we order a single motor.
What makes an Arcadia motorized blind different
Retrofit motors added to an existing headrail rattle and lag. We build motorization into the blind from the start — a quiet, torque-matched motor sized to the fabric weight and width, wired or charged so it runs silently for years.
Everything included as standard
Whisper-quiet operation
Motors are matched to fabric weight and width, so they run smoothly without the whine of a generic retrofit kit.
Group and room scenes
Every remote and app groups shades by room, so one tap opens an entire wall of windows together.
Battery, solar or hardwired
Rechargeable battery packs for retrofits, solar charging where there is sun, hardwired for new construction.
Works with your smart home
Native integration with Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit, plus sunrise and sunset scheduling.
A home that adjusts itself around the sun
Reaches every window
Skylights, stairwells and windows behind furniture open with a tap instead of a pole no one can reach.
Saves energy automatically
Scheduled closing on west-facing rooms cuts afternoon heat gain without anyone remembering to do it.
Safer for kids and pets
No dangling cords or wands — motorized shades meet current child-safety standards by default.
Adds real resale value
Smart-home features are one of the few window upgrades buyers notice and ask about at showings.
Choose your power source
How the motor gets its power decides how it's installed — and how often it needs attention.
Rechargeable Battery
A slim lithium pack inside the headrail, recharged every few months with a small plug. No wiring needed — our most common retrofit.
Solar Charging
A discreet panel mounted on the frame keeps the battery topped off indefinitely on any sun-facing window.
Hardwired
Wired to line voltage during construction or renovation — no battery to ever recharge, best for high-use rooms.
Choose your control system
Every motor pairs with a remote by default. Groups, schedules and voice are where it starts saving you trips across the room.
Remote Control
A handheld or wall-mounted remote runs one shade or a grouped set. Included with every motor.
App Control
Adjust from anywhere, set sunrise and sunset schedules, and group rooms into one-tap scenes.
Voice & Automation
Full integration with Alexa, Google Home or HomeKit — shades respond to routines, not just commands.
$95–$260 per motor, installed — smart hub and voice setup adds roughly $150.

Built-in motor, manual blind, or a smart plug retrofit?
All three can be automated. What separates them is reliability and how they look once installed.
If quiet, reliable operation matters as much as convenience, we usually price a built-in motor against a retrofit rather than skipping it.

How long does a motorized shade battery last? −
Most rechargeable battery packs last three to six months between charges depending on how often the shade is used, and recharge fully in a few hours with the included cable.
How much do motorized blinds cost in DFW? +
Motors typically add $95 to $260 per window installed on top of the blind itself, with a smart hub and voice setup adding roughly $150 for the whole home. Your quote is fixed once we have measured — no deposit taken at the consultation.
Do I need an electrician for motorized blinds? +
Battery and solar-charged motors need no wiring at all. Hardwired motors, typically chosen for new construction, are wired in by a licensed electrician as part of the install.
Can motorized blinds work with Alexa or Google Home? +
Yes. Our app and hub integrate natively with Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit, so shades respond to voice commands and existing routines.
Can I retrofit motors onto blinds I already own? +
In many cases yes, if the existing headrail and fabric weight are compatible. We assess this at the free consultation and recommend a replacement only when a retrofit would not run reliably.
