Shades & blinds questions
Straight answers about motorized shades, blinds, batteries, smart homes and how we work.
What window treatments do you offer?
We offer motorized shades, manual roller shades and blinds for homes in Park City, Deer Valley, Kamas, Heber City and the rest of Summit and Wasatch counties. We measure, supply and install them, and we help you choose fabrics and controls at your windows.
Do motorized shades need new wiring?
The motorized shades we install are battery-powered or rechargeable, so most suitable windows need no new wiring through finished walls. We confirm mounting, battery access and product fit when we measure. Not every opening qualifies, and we'll tell you if one doesn't.
How often do the batteries need attention?
Battery-powered shades need periodic recharging or battery replacement. How often depends on the product, how much you use the shades and the conditions at the window. We go over battery care when we install.
What is the difference between shades and blinds?
Shades are a continuous piece of fabric that rolls or stacks, from sheer to blackout. Blinds use slats or vanes you can tilt to aim light. Shades suit big view windows and clean modern lines; blinds suit rooms where you want to angle light and privacy through the day. Many homes use both.
Does blackout fabric make a room completely dark?
Blackout fabric stops light through the fabric itself. A standard roller shade can still show a little light at the edges. If a bedroom needs to be as dark as possible, we'll talk through mounting and side options at the window so you know what to expect.
Can motorized shades work with my smart home?
Usually, yes, but it depends on the shade system and the hub you have. Many systems work with their own app, schedules and voice assistants. We confirm compatibility with your setup before we quote, so there are no surprises.
I own a second home and I'm not in town. Can we start remotely?
Yes. Send a few photos and rough sizes and we can talk through options by phone. Custom shades still need our on-site measurements before anything is ordered, so we'll arrange access with you or your property manager.
Do you work in Deer Valley and HOA communities?
Yes. We work in Deer Valley, Park City neighborhoods and HOA communities across Summit and Wasatch counties. Some HOAs have rules about window coverings that show from outside, so it's worth checking yours; we can bring fabric samples to match.
What does a consultation cost?
We don't publish prices on this site. Every home and window is different, so we quote each project in writing after measuring.
