You love the mountain views from your Asheville home. You don't love walking room to room every morning to raise the shades — or pulling cords on windows you can barely reach. Motorized window treatments solve both problems. One tap on your phone, one voice command, and every shade in the house adjusts exactly how you want it.

At Love Is Blinds, we install motorized blinds and automated shades throughout Asheville and Western North Carolina. From battery-powered roller shades to hardwired smart shutter systems, we match the right product to your home and handle everything from measurement to programming.

Mountain homes create unique challenges for window treatments. Vaulted great rooms with windows 14 feet high. Clerestory glass above staircases. Walls of sliding doors opening onto decks. Manual cords and wands don't work well in these spaces. You either can't reach the controls or the daily wear from operating oversized shades breaks the hardware within a year.

Motorized systems eliminate all of that. A quiet motor — tucked inside the headrail — raises and lowers the shade with zero manual effort. The result: less wear, longer product life, and no dangling cords that pose a risk to children and pets.

Modern motorized shades run on one of two power sources. Battery-powered motors are the easiest to install — no wiring, no electrician. A rechargeable battery pack (or standard batteries) mounts inside the headrail and lasts 6-12 months on a single charge depending on usage. Hardwired motors connect to your home's electrical system for continuous power, making them ideal for new construction or major renovations.

Both options connect to your home's Wi-Fi and pair with smart home platforms. We set up every system to work with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit during the installation visit. Voice commands like "Alexa, lower the bedroom shades" become part of your daily routine within days.

You can also build automated schedules. Program your east-facing shades to lower at sunrise when the morning sun heats up the room. Set your west-facing windows to close at 4 p.m. every summer afternoon. Your HVAC works less and your energy costs drop — all without lifting a finger.

The most popular motorized product we install. Roller shades pair perfectly with motors because the simple roll-up design moves smoothly and quietly. Solar fabrics block UV rays while keeping your view intact. Blackout fabrics turn bedrooms pitch dark on command. Custom widths cover openings up to 144 inches on a single shade.

Cellular shades with built-in motors give you the best of both worlds — the energy efficiency of honeycomb insulation plus hands-free operation. The honeycomb cells trap air and cut heat transfer by up to 40%, which matters in Asheville's variable mountain climate. Add a motor and you can raise or lower them from anywhere in the house.

Plantation shutters with motorized louver tilt give you precise light control without touching the panels. Tilt the louvers open with your phone to flood the room with natural light. Close them for full privacy in the evening. The shutter panels stay stationary while the louvers adjust — clean, quiet, and elegant.

Dangling cords are one of the top household hazards for young children. Motorized window treatments remove that risk entirely. There are no cords, no chains, no wands — just a clean shade that operates by remote, app, or voice. For families in Fairview, Arden, and Weaverville, this is often the primary reason for going motorized.

We handle every motorized installation in-house with our own crew. Here's the process:

During your free in-home consultation, we measure every window and discuss your daily routine — which rooms need automation, what smart home system you use, and whether battery or hardwired makes more sense. We bring fabric samples so you see the material in your own light.

On installation day, we mount the shades, install the motors, connect to your Wi-Fi, and program your preferred schedules. We walk you through voice commands, app controls, and scene settings before we leave. You're fully set up and running the same day.

We install motorized window treatments across the region — from homes overlooking the Blue Ridge Parkway to new construction in the Biltmore area. Whether you're in Black Mountain, Hendersonville, Candler, Waynesville, or Fletcher, our team brings the same expertise and same-day programming to every install.

Motorized window treatments typically range from $400 to $1,200 per window in the Asheville area. Battery-powered motors cost less to install than hardwired systems. Shade size, fabric type, and control features all affect pricing. We provide detailed quotes during your free consultation — no surprises.

Yes. Every motorized system we install pairs with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. You control your shades with voice commands, a phone app, or a dedicated remote. We set everything up and test it during installation.

Stop wrestling with hard-to-reach windows. Stop walking room to room pulling cords. Motorized window treatments make your home smarter, safer, and more comfortable — and we handle everything from design to installation.
