We've Been Doing This Since The 80s

We’ve served Greater Boston homeowners for over 35 years. We’ve seen every trend come and go, but wireless rechargeable motors aren’t a trend – they’re the solution homeowners have been waiting for.

We partner with Hunter Douglas and Lutron because they build systems that actually work long-term. No cheap components that fail after six months. No motors that sound like garbage disposals when they operate.

Westford homeowners deal with real weather – hot summers, cold winters, and everything between. We recommend materials and systems that handle Massachusetts conditions without breaking down or looking worn after a few seasons.

We start with a free consultation at your home. No showroom visits required – we bring samples directly to you so you can see how different fabrics and styles look in your actual lighting and with your existing décor.

During measuring, we assess your windows for the best motor placement and power options. Some windows work perfectly with internal rechargeable batteries. Others benefit from external battery packs or direct power connections. We explain what works best for each situation and why.

Installation typically takes a day, depending on the number of windows. Our installers are careful with your home and clean up completely when finished. Before we leave, we walk you through the smartphone app, show you how to set schedules, and make sure everything operates exactly as it should.

What You Get With Professional Installation

Your wireless rechargeable motor system includes the PowerView or Lutron app for smartphone control, voice integration with Alexa and Google, and the ability to create custom schedules for different rooms and seasons.

Westford’s climate means your shades work harder than in milder areas. Summer sun can be intense, especially on south-facing windows. Winter heating costs add up quickly. Smart scheduling helps your shades automatically adjust to reduce cooling costs in summer and retain heat in winter.

The rechargeable batteries are designed for New England weather patterns. Cold doesn’t drain them faster like some cheaper systems. The magnetic charging system works reliably even after years of use. Most homeowners find the year-long battery life fits perfectly with seasonal maintenance routines.

How long do the rechargeable batteries actually last between charges?

The rechargeable batteries in quality wireless motors typically last 12-18 months with normal daily use. This assumes you’re raising and lowering shades once or twice per day, which is typical for most households. Heavy usage – like programming shades to adjust multiple times daily for optimal energy efficiency – might reduce battery life to 8-12 months. Light usage in guest rooms or seasonal spaces can extend battery life beyond 18 months. The PowerView and Lutron apps both show battery levels, so you’ll know when it’s time to recharge well before the batteries die.
Yes, but motor selection matters significantly. Lightweight cellular shades and standard roller shades work with smaller motors. Heavy fabrics, wide windows, or multiple shades on one headrail require more powerful motors. During our consultation, we measure and assess the weight requirements for each window. Hunter Douglas and Lutron both make motors specifically designed for heavy-duty applications. These larger motors might have slightly shorter battery life due to higher power requirements, but they’re built to handle substantial window treatments reliably for years.
Quality wireless motors from Hunter Douglas and Lutron are designed to last 10-15 years with proper installation and normal use. If a motor does fail, most can be replaced without removing the entire shade. The motor units are modular, so replacement typically involves removing the old motor from the headrail and installing the new one. This usually takes 30-60 minutes per window. Both manufacturers offer warranties on their motor systems, and we handle warranty service for all installations we complete.
This depends entirely on how your current window treatments are constructed. Some roller shades and cellular shades can be retrofitted with wireless motors if the headrail design is compatible and the weight is appropriate. However, most existing manual shades aren’t built to accommodate motors. The headrail might not have space for the motor and battery, or the operating mechanism might not be compatible with motorized lift systems. In most cases, upgrading to wireless motors means replacing the entire window treatment with a new motorized version designed specifically for automation.
Wireless motors connect to your home Wi-Fi through a hub device – either the PowerView Gateway or Lutron Smart Bridge. This hub communicates with your smartphone app and enables voice control through Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit. Setup involves connecting the hub to your router, then using the manufacturer’s app to pair each motorized shade with the hub. Once connected, you can create voice commands like “Alexa, close the living room shades” or “Hey Google, set bedroom shades to 50 percent.” The system also integrates with other smart home platforms like Control4 or Crestron for whole-home automation.
The cost difference is significant – wireless motors typically add $200-600 per window depending on size and complexity. However, most homeowners find the convenience and energy savings justify the investment within a few years. Automated scheduling means your shades actually get used optimally for energy efficiency, which reduces heating and cooling costs. The convenience factor is substantial – no more walking around the house adjusting shades twice daily, no more struggling with cords on tall windows, and no more forgetting to close shades when you leave town. Plus, motorized window treatments typically increase home value, especially in markets like Westford where buyers expect modern conveniences.
