What Are Motorized Blinds?
Motorized blinds — also called electric blinds, automatic blinds or smart blinds — use a small motor built into the headrail to raise, lower or rotate the blind, instead of a manual cord, wand or chain. They're operated by remote control, a wall switch, or a smartphone app, and can be scheduled or connected to a smart-home system for hands-free operation.
Motorization isn't a separate product — it's an upgrade we can build into any blind style we offer. Whether you want a fully hardwired system or a cordless, battery-powered setup, we measure and fabricate the motorized blind to your exact window, then pair it to your remote, app or smart-home devices during installation.

Why Choose Motorized Blinds
Motorized blinds solve problems manual blinds can't — especially for large, high, or hard-to-reach windows.
One-Touch, Whole-Home Control
Raise, lower or rotate every motorized blind in a room — or the whole home — with a single remote, app tap or voice command.
Reaches Large & Hard-to-Reach Windows
Motorization is especially valuable for large windows, high windows, skylights and arched windows that are awkward or impossible to operate by hand.
Cordless & Child-Safe
No dangling cords or wands means a safer home for kids and pets, and a cleaner look on every window.
Scheduling & Automation
Set your blinds to open and close automatically on a schedule for privacy, light control and energy efficiency, without lifting a finger.

Where Motorized Blinds Work Best
Motorization can go on any window, but it earns its keep fastest on these.
Large & Oversized Windows
Wide or floor-to-ceiling windows can be heavy and awkward to operate manually — a motor makes them effortless.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Wide door walls covered in vertical or roller blinds are far easier to open and close with a remote than by hand.
Skylights & High Windows
Windows above stairwells, vaulted ceilings and skylights are often out of reach entirely without a motor and remote.
Arched Windows
Custom-fabricated motorized blinds can be built to fit arched and unusually shaped windows that are difficult to reach with a manual wand.

Power & Smart Controls
We'll help you choose the right power source and control method for each window.
Hardwired Blinds
A permanent, maintenance-free connection for windows with access to power — no batteries to ever think about.
Battery-Powered & Rechargeable
Cordless motorized blinds with replaceable or rechargeable batteries, ideal where running wiring isn't practical.
Solar-Powered Blinds
A small solar panel mounted at the window trickle-charges the blind's battery, cutting down on manual recharging.
Remote, App & Voice Control
Every motorized blind we install comes with remote and app control, with Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit integration available.
Wired, battery, rechargeable & solar power · Free in-home consultation

Client Reviews
Motorized blackout blinds throughout our new build. Flawless install, smart home integration worked first try. Best home upgrade we’ve ever made.
The zebra blinds SMI installed completely transformed our living room. Team was on time, professional, done in two hours. Absolutely stunning quality.
Called three companies. SMI’s quality and attention to detail were in a completely different league. Best investment we’ve made for our condo.
Common Questions
Motorized blinds cost more than manual blinds because of the motor, power source and control hardware, and the exact price depends on window size, blind type, and whether you choose battery, rechargeable, solar or hardwired power. We provide a free in-home measurement and consultation so you get an accurate, no-obligation quote for your specific windows before committing to anything.
For large windows, high or hard-to-reach windows, skylights and wide sliding door walls, most homeowners find motorized blinds well worth it for the convenience and safety of cordless, remote-operated control alone. They're also popular in any room where a homeowner wants scheduling, smart-home integration, or simply one-touch operation for multiple windows at once.
A small motor built into the blind's headrail raises, lowers or rotates the blind when triggered by a remote control, wall switch, or smartphone app, instead of a manual cord, wand or chain. The motor draws power from a hardwired connection, a rechargeable battery pack, replaceable batteries, or a solar panel, depending on the option you choose.
We offer hardwired motorized blinds for a permanent, maintenance-free connection, battery-powered and rechargeable options for flexible placement without wiring, and solar-powered blinds that trickle-charge from a small panel mounted at the window. We'll help you choose the right option based on your window's access to power and how often the blind will be used.
Yes. Our motorized blinds support smart-home integration with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit, so you can control them by voice or group them into routines and scenes alongside your other smart-home devices, in addition to the included remote and app control.
In many cases, yes — tension-mounted and clip-on brackets can secure certain motorized blinds without drilling into your window frame, which is especially useful for rentals or windows where you'd rather avoid permanent hardware. Whether a no-drill mount will work depends on your window type and blind style, which we'll assess during your free in-home consultation.
Top-down bottom-up is a control style that lets a blind be lowered from the top as well as raised from the bottom, so you can let light in through the top of a window while keeping the bottom covered for privacy. It's available as a motorized upgrade and is especially popular in bedrooms, bathrooms and street-facing windows.
Yes — every blind style we offer, including zebra blinds, roller shades, blackout blinds, faux wood blinds, honeycomb blinds and vertical blinds, can be fabricated with a motorized upgrade. We'll walk you through which power and control option makes the most sense for each window during your free consultation.
Once your motorized blinds are measured and fabricated, our team can typically complete installation and pairing with your remote, app or smart-home system for an entire home in a single visit. Exact turnaround depends on the number of windows and the power option chosen, which we'll confirm during your free in-home consultation.
