Control Every Shade from Anywhere You Are
Plan Automation in Garden City
You deserve window treatments that adjust with a tap, voice command, or automated schedule. Motorized shades and blinds integrate seamlessly with smart-home systems, making them ideal for tall windows, home theaters, and hard-to-reach placements common in new construction across Garden City, where open floor plans and vaulted ceilings put some windows out of arm's reach.
Direct Blinds demonstrates motorized systems during in-home visits, showing you how remotes, wall switches, apps, and smart hubs work together. You can schedule shading to match sunrise and sunset, boost energy efficiency by blocking peak sunlight, and control multiple rooms from one device.

What's Included in This Service
You'll start with a consultation where your specialist maps out which windows would benefit most from motorization. Garden City homes often feature high ceilings and wide window banks, so your specialist will explain battery-powered versus hardwired options, show you compatible remotes and apps, and walk through integration with systems like Alexa, Google Home, or dedicated smart-home hubs.
Direct Blinds installs motorized lifts on shades, blinds, or shutters you select, ensuring motors are mounted securely and wiring is concealed when needed. Each system is tested for smooth operation, and you'll receive hands-on training so you can control your shades confidently from day one.
After installation, you'll have access to scheduling features that automate shading based on time of day, temperature, or sun angle, all managed through your smartphone or voice assistant.
Motorization raises questions about power sources, compatibility, and everyday use. Here are answers to help you understand what automation can do for your home.
How Our Process Works
Do motorized shades require electrical wiring?
Battery-powered motors eliminate the need for hardwiring and are ideal for retrofit projects. Hardwired options work best during new construction or remodels when walls are open.
Can I control shades in multiple rooms at once?
Yes, smart-home hubs and apps let you group shades by room or floor and control them all with a single command or schedule. Remotes can also manage multiple zones.
Are motorized systems safe for homes with children?
Motorization eliminates cords entirely, meeting child safety standards and removing the risk of tangling or choking hazards common with manual lift cords.
How long do batteries last in motorized shades?
Most battery-powered motors last one to two years on a single charge, depending on usage. Rechargeable batteries and solar options are also available for extended intervals.
Can I still operate motorized shades manually if the power goes out?
Some systems include manual override features, while others rely entirely on battery backup. Your specialist will explain options based on your preferences and window locations in Garden City.
