Motorized Window Treatments Hopkinton MA

What Life Looks Like After Installation

Your mornings start with shades that open automatically with the sunrise. No more stumbling around in the dark or forgetting to adjust them throughout the day. You can set up schedules so shades automatically open and close exactly when you want them to, including gentle wake-ups by scheduling bedroom shades to open. The lack of lift cords makes motorized shades a safer option for homes with young children and pets. The internal rechargeable battery is hidden behind the headrail with approximately one year of battery life. High windows, skylights, and windows behind furniture are no longer a problem. Motorized shades are especially suited for hard-to-reach windows, such as tall windows and skylights, as well as wide windows.

Motorized Shade Installation Process Hopkinton

From Consultation to Control in Three Steps

We begin with a conversation at your Hopkinton home to understand your vision for your custom window treatments and assess your windows. We measure precisely, discuss your automation preferences, and explain how PowerView automation works with the PowerView App to set up schedules for your shades. You’ll explore samples of materials for custom shades, and we’ll help you design the perfect custom window solutions. We’ll show you exactly how you can open and close smart motorized shades with a remote, an app or your favorite voice assistant. Our team installs your chosen motorized window treatments with attention to detail for lasting enjoyment. With Gen 3, the entirety of the setup process is now performed via the PowerView App, and modifying shade limits is also performed within the app. We test everything, show you the controls, and make sure you’re completely comfortable with your new system.

Hunter Douglas PowerView Automation Hopkinton

What's Included in Your Motorized Setup

We provide Hunter Douglas window blinds, shades, and shutters with the largest portfolio of window treatments eligible for the federal tax credit. Hunter Douglas offers several power options: local 18-volt DC power, a Battery Wand, a Satellite Battery Pack, a Rechargeable Battery Wand, and a new Internal Rechargeable Battery. Your system provides added convenience with button press or mobile device control, increased privacy with automatic scheduling, better energy efficiency to keep interiors warmer or cooler, and enhanced security by giving your home a lived-in look while you’re away. In Hopkinton’s climate, this matters more than you might think. We might suggest cellular shades for their insulating properties, ideal for MA weather, or elegant Roman shades crafted from fine fabrics for a sophisticated look. PowerView+ Gen 3 shades contain ultra-quiet motors that measure around 32 dBA, up to twice as quiet as previous designs.

How long do wireless rechargeable motors last on a single charge?

The internal rechargeable battery is hidden behind the headrail with approximately one year of battery life. The batteries should last for a full year, depending on how many times the motor is operated. You can check the battery status in the app, although you won’t get an exact reading. The battery wands magnetically attach to docks that can be mounted to the shade’s head rail, and when a battery runs low, you just need to reach up and pluck it out of its dock and replace it with a freshly charged one. Most Hopkinton homeowners find this incredibly convenient since they only need to think about it once a year.

Can I control motorized shades with my smartphone and voice commands?

You can open and close smart motorized shades with a remote, an app or your favorite voice assistant when integrated with a compatible smart-home system. You can operate PowerView shades with your tablet, smartphone or the sleek Pebble Remote, and PowerView is also compatible with smart-home systems for premium convenience. You can bring your Scenes to life using Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant and activate your Scenes hands-free. The PowerView Gateway provides integration with other manufacturers’ smart home systems and gives access to Remote Connect, so you can adjust your shades from anywhere in the world. This is particularly valuable for Hopkinton residents who travel frequently for work.

Are motorized window treatments safe for homes with children and pets?

Motorized shades lack lift cords, which makes raising and lowering them simpler for everyone, and the lack of lift cords also makes motorized shades a safer option for homes with young children and pets. Hunter Douglas Shades are designed with safety in mind, and PowerView Motorization creates a safer environment for homes with children and pets thanks to its simple, cordless, battery-powered operation. Tangled cords are a thing of the past, making the SoftTouch Motorization system an ideal option for homes with pets and children. No more struggling with blinds in hard-to-reach places and dealing with messy tangled up cords. This is especially important for Hopkinton families who prioritize both convenience and child safety in their homes.

What window treatment styles work with wireless rechargeable motors?

PowerView Automation is available on a wide variety of shade styles, including sheer, roller, cellular, Roman and woven wood shades, so it’s easy to find a style that complements your home’s aesthetic. PowerView+ Gen 3 is currently available with Pirouette, Silhouette Quartette, Designer Screen Shades, and Designer Roller Shades. PowerView is also available on blinds and vinyl shutters but only for blind or louver tilt. For smart roller shades, Hunter Douglas offers an alternative where the battery is mounted inside the roller tube, and the battery gets recharged by attaching a cable to magnetic contacts on the tube. Whether you prefer the classic look of wood blinds or the sleek functionality of cellular shades, motorization works with virtually any style that fits your Hopkinton home’s aesthetic.

How much do wireless rechargeable motors for shades typically cost?

Prices for Duette shades with PowerView Gen 3 automation start at $772 per shade. Optional gateway costs $195, optional Pebble remote costs $85, extra battery wands cost $80 each, and dual battery wand charger costs $120. Custom window treatments cost around $900 per window, and prices usually fall between $150 and $4,800 depending on the type of window treatment, window size, location, and labor cost. The investment varies based on your specific needs, window sizes, and chosen features. Most Hopkinton homeowners find that the convenience, safety, and energy savings justify the initial cost. You can prioritize energy efficiency with the largest portfolio of window treatments eligible for the federal tax credit, without compromising style. We provide detailed quotes during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
